The word is terracide. It is not committed with guns and knives, but with relentless bulldozers, roaring
dump trucks, and giant shovels like mythological beasts. Dynamite cuts and rips apart mountains to
reach the minerals inside, leaving nothing but empty, naked hills. The land is left wasted and allowed
to slide down upon houses and into streams, making the land unlivable and the stream water
undrinkable. This is terracide, or if you prefer, strip mining.

11. The author’s purpose is to

a. inform you about the purposes of strip mining.
b. describe a strip mining operation.
c. persuade you that strip mining is bad for the environment.
d. define terracide.

fertilization determines the sex. If a Y sperm cell fertilizes the egg, a male develops.

12. The author’s purpose is to

a. explain how the sex of humans is determined.
b. describe chromosomes.
c. tell the steps in fertilization.
d. contrast X and Y chromosomes

made to imitate scrambled eggs.

Our criminal justice system today is a disgrace. Modern day criminals have more rights than an
honest citizen ever imagined were written into our U.S. Constitution. Murderers and rapists are
typically set free on legal technicalities and seldom face any jail time. While that scum is back to
work finding new victims, the pleas of those they have killed, maimed, or violated go unheard.
Until we begin giving some real consideration to people who obey the law, instead of those who
break it, things are going to continue getting worse.

8. The author’s purpose is to

a. describe the actions of the criminals.
b. compare criminals with honest citizens.
c. inform the reader about the extent of crime in America.
d. criticize our criminal justice system.
