Adapted from The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela
Some men on horseback rode up, shouting and sweating; two
of them dismounted, while the other hung back to watch the
horses.
"We want food! Give us eggs, milk, beans, anything you've got!
We're starving!"
The speaker wore chevrons on his arm, his companion red
stripes on his shoulders.
"Whose place is this, old woman? Of course it's not empty. How
about the light and that child there? Look here, confound it, we
want to eat, and quick too. We're coming in."
"Tell me what they call this ranch, woman?" the sergeant asked.
"Limon," the woman replied curtly, carrying wood to the fire
and fanning the coals.
Yup

Lots of elementary school kids play sports after school. they play soccer, tennis, football, baseball, and even lacrosse. but i think that another great way to spend the afternoon is by playing a non-physical activity: chess. at our school we have a chess club that meets every week to play games and to learn about chess-related issues. chess is a wonderful game for many reasons. chess teaches students to be patient and not rush decisions. chess also teaches students how to strategize their future plans. and finally, chess teaches students the importance and necessity of sacrifice. chess can teach students just as much as any other sport. which sentence could best be added to this paragraph as a supporting detail? a) chess is not as fun as playing a sport outdoors might be. b) my father is very good at chess and plays a game with me every night. c) chess teaches students to think ahead about the consequences of their actions. d) other activities that are as fun as chess are painting, drawing, dancing, and acting.
