Read the excerpt from "Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress."

With the warriors from the south came Atalanta, armed with bow and arrows and a long hunting spear.

“My daughters are having a game of ball in the garden,” said the king to the huntress. “Would you like to put away your arrows and your spear and go play with them?” Atalanta shook her head and lifted her chin in disdain.

“Perhaps you would rather stay with the queen, and look at the women spin and weave,” said the king.

“No,” answered Atalanta. “I am going with the warriors to hunt the wild boar in the forest.”

The men gasped. They had never heard of such a thing as a girl going out with heroes to hunt wild boars. “If she goes, then I will not,” muttered one. “Nor will I,” said another, a little more loudly. “Why, the whole world would laugh at us, and we should never hear the end of it.” “Nor will I,” exclaimed a third. “The hunt is for heroes, not for girls.”

Many of the men guffawed and hooted at the young huntress. But Atalanta only grasped her spear more firmly and stood tall and straight in the gateway of the palace.

Which detail best supports the inference that Atalanta struggles to overcome gender stereotypes?

“But Atalanta only grasped her spear more firmly and stood tall and straight in the gateway of the palace."


“'The hunt is for heroes, not for girls.'”

"Atalanta shook her head and lifted her chin in disdain."

Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

But no one can ignore the damage being wrought by all this bad eating. More than one out of three adults in the United States -- 37.5 percent -- are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some of the leading causes of death -- heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes -- are directly linked to obesity. And childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years. With more than a third of kids between 6 and 19 considered obese, the CDC reports, they are at substantially more risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone and joint conditions, and cancer.

The author's argument that a poor diet can be harmful to a person's health is

ineffective, because it lacks clear and reasonable evidence.
ineffective, because it leaves the reader with questions.
effective, because it addresses and refutes a counterclaim.
effective, because it includes facts from a credible source.

Section 5
They came to Seriphus. No one knew Perseus; he heard his name spoken of as that of
a youth who had gone on a foolish quest and who would never again be heard of. He
learned that Polydectes had a new plan to marry—and this time, he would marry Danae.
He had walled her up in a temple.
Perseus took Andromeda to the hut of Dictys, the shepherd, so she would be safe. Then
Perseus went to the temple and heard his mother's voice wailing: "Walled up here and
given over to hunger, I shall be made go to Polydectes's house and become his wife. O
ye gods, have ye no pity for Danae, the mother of Perseus?"
Perseus cried aloud, and his mother heard his voice and her moans ceased. He turned
around and he went to the palace of Polydectes, the king.
The king received him with mockeries. "I will let you stay in Seriphus for a day," he said,
"because I would have you attend a marriage feast. I have vowed that Danae, your
mother, will be my wife by to-morrow's sunset."
So Polydectes said, and the lords and princes who were around him mocked Perseus
and flattered the king. Perseus went from them then. The next day he came back to the
palace. But in his hands now there was a dreadful thing—the bag made from the hide of
the sea monster that had in it the Gorgon's head.
He saw his mother. She was brought in white and fainting, thinking that she would now
have to wed the harsh and overbearing king. Then she saw her son, and hope came into
her face.
The king seeing Perseus, said: "Step forward, O youngling, and see your mother wed to
a mighty man. Step forward to witness a marriage, and then depart, for it is not right that
a youth that makes promises and does not keep them should stay in a land that I rule
over. Step forward now, you with the empty hands."
But not with empty hands did Perseus step forward. He shouted out: "I have brought
something to you at last, O king—a present to you and your mocking friends. But you, O
my mother, hide your face from what I have brought." Saying this Perseus drew out the
Gorgon's head. Holding it by the snaky locks he stood before the company. His mother
turned away her face. But Polydectes and his insolent friends looked full upon what
Perseus showed. "This youth would try to frighten us with some magician’s trick!" they

said. They said no more, for they became as stones, and as stone images they still
stand in that hall in Seriphus.
Perseus went to Dictys the shepherd's hut, and he asked the kind shepherd to rule as
king in his brother’s place. Then with his wife, Andromeda, and his mother, Danae, he
went from Seriphus.
He did not go to Argos, the country that his grandfather had ruled over, although the
people there wanted Perseus to come and be their king. He took the kingdom of Tiryns
in exchange for that of Argos, and there he ruled with Andromeda by his side.
He gave the sickle-sword that had slain the Gorgon, and Medusa's head, back to
Hermes. That head Hermes's divine sister, Athena, goddess of wisdom, set upon her
shield. O, may Athena guard us all!
