Read the passage from A Raisin in the Sun. LINDNER: Yes—that's the way we feel out in Clybourne Park. And that's why I was elected to come here this afternoon and talk to you people. Friendly like, you know, the way people should talk to each other and see if we couldn't find some way to work this thing out. As I say, the whole business is a matter of caring about the other fellow. Anybody can see that you are a nice family of folks, hard-working and honest I’m sure. (BENEATHA frowns slightly, quizzically, her head tilted regarding him.) Today everybody knows what it means to be on the outside of something. And of course, there is always somebody who is out to take advantage of people who don't always understand. WALTER: What do you mean? LINDNER: Well—you see our community is made up of people who've worked hard as the dickens for years to build up that little community. They're not rich and fancy people; just hard-working, honest people who don't really have much but those little homes and a dream of the kind of community they want to raise their children in. Now, I don't say we are perfect and there is a lot wrong in some of the things they want. But you've got to admit that a man, right or wrong, has the right to want to have the neighborhood he lives in a certain kind of way. And at the moment the overwhelming majority of our people out there feel that people get along better, take more of a common interest in the life of the community, when they share a common background. I want you to believe me when I tell you that race prejudice simply doesn't enter into it. It is a matter of the people of Clybourne Park believing, rightly or wrongly, as I say, that for the happiness of all concerned that our Negro families are happier when they live in their own communities. BENEATHA (with a grand and bitter gesture): This, friends, is the Welcoming Committee! WALTER (dumfounded, looking at LINDNER): Is this what you came marching all the way over here to tell us? . . . . RUTH: Lord have mercy, ain't this the living gall! How does the playwright use dialogue to develop the message in this passage? Beneatha’s use of sarcasm shows how people can unintentionally hurt those they care about. Lindner's good manners and polite words show that segregation can be subtle and indirect. The rapid pace of Beneatha, Walter, and Ruth's dialogue shows that direct confrontation is the best way to resolve differences. Walter's questions and Ruth's exclamation develop the message that communication breakdowns are often the fault of both parties.

Bicycle riding should be encouraged, and adding bicycle lanes will increase the number of riders. it is healthier for people to ride than to sit angrily in traffic. it is healthier for everyone to breathe cleaner air. sharing the road can be tricky, but there are things that can be done. so, add the bike lanes and get rolling! which sentence would improve this conclusion? every town should consider adding bicycle lanes, because it is a great idea. organizing safety classes for drivers and cyclists will ensure that everyone knows the rules. do not listen to negative people who complain about anything new. it is true that some people might get injured, but even walking can be dangerous.

Which is the best paraphrase of the text? the capability of a bicycle makes some people want to go very fast and others to go very slow. as long as you are careful, feel free to ride like the wind. when feeling brave on a bicycle you should ride fast, but when feeling afraid riding slow is wise. if you are unable to coast, it is pointless to even ride. if you’re going to ride a bicycle, you should throw caution to the wind and take over the road, swerving where you like and taking full advantage of your ride. it’s a real joy to be able to ride a bicycle, where you have the choice of going as fast or as slow as you like, using as much courage as you feel like using.
