Dear mayor thomson, as you know, our town just passed a new law. kids can no longer ride skateboards on our town’s streets and sidewalks. this is unfair. our town does not have a skate park, and not everyone has a driveway. this means that some of us can’t ride skateboards at all. you spoke about this new law last week at a town meeting. you said that riding skateboards on streets is dangerous. you are worried that kids will be hit by cars. however, we have many small, side streets in our town. cars rarely drive on these streets. it is safe to ride a skateboard on a side street in our town. you said that people walking on sidewalks are afraid of skateboarders. they think that skateboarders might crash into them. this is not true. my friends and i have never crashed into someone walking on a sidewalk. we slow down when we see people. we smile and say hello. you also said that kids riding skateboards make too much noise. you believe that the people of our town want peace and quiet and do not want to hear us clang our skateboards on curbs. but children are rarely ever quiet when they play. kids playing in yards make noise. people driving cars honk their horns. skateboarders are not the only people who make noise. you also said that riding a skateboard is dangerous and kids could fall and be seriously hurt. i wear a helmet in case i bump my head. i also wear knee and elbow pads. my friends do this, too. this will keep us from being seriously hurt if we fall. sincerely, reginald carter based on the letter's style and tone, which choice is the best closing?
a) we demand this law be changed. it is unfair and makes us all feel like criminals. you need to try skateboarding yourself.
b) this law is ridiculous and you are crazy for allowing it to pass. we have lost a great deal of respect for you because of this poor decision.
c) we promise to be really nice to adults if you change the law. we will wash your car every week and we will do our best in school. we are begging you.
d) change this law, mayor thomson. it is unfair to the children in our town. many of us ride skateboards to get from place to place. we also ride them for fun. we are not hurting anyone and we are careful.

Read the passage from animal farm. as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major's speech. instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. there was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. she knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of napoleon. but still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. it was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of jones's gun. such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them. what was most likely orwell’s purpose for writing this passage? to show that clover is more sensitive to violence than the others to remind readers of major's speech and the original rebellion to present napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ support to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives
