Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping
The Hunley recovery team planned to display Diane's casts
in a museum that was about to be built. But did the casts
belong in a public exhibit? Some people objected to
displaying soldiers' remains-even though they were
plastic replicas. Diane saw nothing wrong with it. In fact,
she had no qualms about showing the real bones.
"If people want to really learn about the soldiers," she said,
"you have to show the bones. The bone is a record of a
person's life, especially the last part-the circumstances of
death."
How and why did the Hunley sink? What can we learn
about the lives--and deaths-of its ill-fated crew?
Scientists will likely be investigating the answers for years
to come, thanks in part to Diane's casts
Which statement best describes Hopping's viewpoint and
purpose in this excerpt?
The author believes Diane France should not display
soldiers' remains, and she writes to persuade readers to

war stories

Usually, when people talk about "rocky” relationships, it’s with a frown, but mine has enriched my life. i became fascinated with rocks when i was really young, and throughout my childhood you could usually find me with my pockets bulging from whatever stony treasures i’d scavenged that day. when my science teacher taught us a unit on geology, i realized that my fascination could become an exciting career that could also me make good money. obtaining an internship to work on the geological exhibit at the museum is an important step on my road to being a geologist. the best description of the writer’s point of view is that the person is eager to make a lot of money in a museum internship. insistent that geology should be taught as part of every science course. hopeful to be able to further the goal of eventually becoming a geologist. concerned that people do not generally relate well to the study of geology.
