Thermometer Pills Tracy Wilson 1 Over the past ten years, more than two dozen athletes have died from the medical condition known as heatstroke. Heatstroke occurs when the body’s internal temperature becomes so elevated that its cooling system begins shutting down. Who is most at risk? Surprisingly, it is younger athletes. Often, they either do not recognize or ignore the warning signs until it’s too late. To make matters worse, children’s bodies are much less efficient than adults at cooling themselves. A promising new product hopes to end the all too common heatstroke trend. It is called a thermometer pill. 2 While it doesn’t look much different from the average vitamin capsule, the work it does inside the body is truly amazing. Once ingested, these capsules send an internal body temperature reading to a portable device that is not much bigger than an iPhone. A coach or professional trainer monitors the device during practices or events held when temperatures and heat indexes are particularly high. If an athlete’s body temperature reaches a dangerous level, the monitor immediately transmits an alert. The player is then rushed indoors and placed in an ice bath to rapidly decrease his or her body temperature. This is important, since internal organs can begin shutting down at 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 3 While these tiny lifesavers have proven to be effective, they are quite expensive. On average the cost is $50.00 per pill. However, many parents of young athletes say that it is a small price to pay for the peace of mind it gives them on a hot, sultry day.

Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions: 14) The word however is used in paragraph 3 to show A) that the price of the pills is outrageous. B) that the pills are not a good idea for young athletes. C) that some parents will not buy the pills because of the expense. D) that some parents will buy the thermometer pills in spite of the expense

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

The parents will buy the pills to keep their child safe.

Read this excerpt from "Ritmo/Rhythm” by Margarita Engle.

Older cousins show me
how to shake the mule’s quijada,
to make the blunt teeth
rattle.

Guitars.
Drums.
Gourds.
Sticks.

A cow bell.
A washboard.
Pretty soon, we have
a whole orchestra.

How does the poet’s use of line length contribute to the imaginative tone of the excerpt?

It builds momentum by demonstrating how the speaker respects the “older cousins.”
It places an emphasis on the materials the speaker is using to construct the “orchestra.”
It signals time passing by showing how “pretty soon” the speaker is able to collect many items.
It characterizes the setting as absurd as the speaker is using a “washboard” to make sound.

(1) A good many factors influence whether a situation is seen as too crowded. (2) Duration is one factor. (3) For instance,

crowded settings even more stressful when they are unable to predict them. (6) A third factor has to do with frame of
mind. (7) There are times when individuals welcome solitude and other times when they prefer the presence of others.
(8) A fourth factor involves the environmental setting. (9) People generally report that they can tolerate crowding better
in impersonal settings such as a shopping center or an airline terminal than in a home or apartment. (10) Finally,
people's attitude toward a situation determines how they feel about crowding. (11) If people are fearful and antagonistic
