A. Read the passage below. Then, answer the questions that follow.
It was our town’s worst storm. The next morning, we saw that our library had been struck by
lightning and then caught fire. After seeing my favorite building in ruins, I decided something
needed to be done.
First, I wrote a letter to our town’s mayor. I emphasized the importance of having a library
and why we needed to rebuild it. Then, I decided to raise money. I asked some friends to help.
Together, we baked cupcakes, washed cars, and collected money. I even got people to sign a
petition—a piece of paper asking for something—saying that we needed to rebuild a new library.
Finally, I took all the money we had raised along with the petition to the mayor’s office. It
turned out that the mayor had already been busy trying to design a new library. He was really
impressed with all the work I had done and asked me to continue raising money for the new library!
