Read the passage.
Our community has done a wonderful job of creating and participating in forward-thinking eco-centered recycling programs for many years. It’s time we took the next step and considered community composting. We’ve done a great job with paper, aluminum, glass, and plastic, but now it’s time to address food waste head on. The latest data shows that of the millions of tons of food scraps discarded every year, only a small percentage—less than 6 percent—is kept out of landfills.
Which statement best explains why the author uses juxtaposition in the passage?
The author wants to emphasize that recycling plastic waste is more difficult than composting food waste.
The author wants to stress that food scraps pose less of a threat to the community than aluminum waste.
The author wants to illustrate that paper and glass recycling has reduced the amount of waste in landfills.
The author wants to highlight the fact that food waste can be addressed in the same way as other waste.

Which excerpt from the awakening best highlights the elation edna feels when she thinks of robert? the morning was full of sunlight and hope. edna could see before her no denial—only the promise of excessive joy. she lay in bed awake, with bright eyes full of speculation. “he loves you, poor fool.” he would come to her in the afternoon or evening, sit and roll his cigarette, talk a little, and go away as he had done the night before. but how delicious it would be to have him there with her! robert did not come that day. she was keenly disappointed. he did not come the following day, nor the next. each morning she awoke with hope, and each night she was a prey to despondency. his horses were full of mettle, and even a little unmanageable. she liked the rapid gait at which they spun along, and the quick, sharp sound of the horses' hoofs on the hard road.
