Use the text to compare and contrast Huichol masks and West African masks.
Masks play an important role in many cultures. In some parts of West Africa, for example, wooden masks are worn during religious and social ceremonies. Many of these masks are painted and decorated with natural materials such as straw, feathers, or shells. In contrast, the Huichol people of Mexico decorate their wooden masks with colorful beads and yarn. These bright and festive masks are not worn during Huichol ceremonies. Instead, they are designed to document the ceremonial face paint that is worn. Huichol masks are also made to record myths and traditions. Though different in appearance and use, the masks made in West Africa and Mexico do have one thing in common: they both reflect the culture and beliefs of the people who make them.
Which masks reflect the culture of those who made them?

Use the text to compare and contrast artificial vanilla and natural vanilla.
More than ninety-five percent of vanilla-flavored foods are made with artificial vanilla. While natural vanilla comes from the vanilla bean, artificial vanilla is derived from some very unusual sources. Over the years, scientists have been able to extract artificial vanilla flavoring from paper waste, coal tar, and even cow manure! Whereas natural vanilla has many health benefits, some forms of artificial vanilla can actually be bad for you. So how can you tell the difference? Sometimes natural vanilla can leave dark specks in food. But a lot of the time, you can't tell the difference just by looking. You can't always tell by tasting, either. Artificial and natural vanilla often taste the same when used in baked goods. When in doubt, always check the package label.

Use the text to compare and contrast gasoline engines and diesel engines.
Gasoline and diesel engines are both internal combustion engines, which create energy by burning fuel inside a combustion chamber. A diesel engine uses a four-step process, called a four-stroke combustion cycle, in the same way that a gasoline engine does. One difference between the two types of engines is the ignition process. In a gasoline engine, fuel and air are mixed and ignited by a spark plug. But in a diesel engine, instead of using spark ignition, the engine injects fuel directly into a combustion chamber. The heat of the compressed air lights the fuel. Another difference between the two engines is the efficiency. Diesel engines are more efficient and powerful, so they are often used in very large vehicles. By contrast, gasoline engines are less efficient and create less power, but their fuel is usually cheaper.
Which of the following are true for diesel engines? Select all that apply.

College is more expensive than high school because of tuition, living expenses, and books. Anyone who wishes to attend college must pay fees, whereas it is free to attend high school. College tuition can start at roughly $1,500 per term and can wind up costing as much as $2,000. The government funds high schools, so high school students do not have to pay for their education.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. The rules of life were different in Idaho from those in California. In Idaho, I trusted everyone. There were no locks on our doors. Strangers were welcomed without questions or fears. Because the winters were harsh in Idaho and the roads were often closed, my parents used to rent a small apartment in town for us. Whoever needed or wanted to stay in town just stayed there. I didn’t like to miss school, so I often stayed there when the roads were closed. Sometimes, when I was eight or nine years old, I would stay in town for a week or more at a time by myself. Mom always left money in the cupboard, so I just climbed up and got some money and went to Safeway or the Pastime Cafe. No one seemed surprised to see a little girl by herself. The people at the store helped me find what I wanted. The waitresses at the Pastime always gave me a big dessert, and the little old woman down the hall used to tap on my door to invite me over for cookies and TV. My parents never worried about me, and I never even thought about being afraid. The world I knew was safe, and the people in it were kind. If I needed help, I could ask almost anyone. There were a few town drunks, but almost no crime and no drugs. In San Francisco, I soon learned that I was not to trust anyone. Every door was locked. Nobody trusted strangers. When I first went downtown in San Francisco, I smiled and said “hello” to everyone. People often answered me, but they did it with very strange looks on their faces. Some of the other students decided I needed protection because I didn’t have enough brains to survive on my own in the city. They told me not to look at people and not to talk to strangers. They showed me how to hold my purse so that it would be hard to steal. After awhile, I noticed that people really weren’t the same. They didn’t look at me when they walked down the street; they looked through me. When I tried to tell a young woman on the bus how beautiful her baby was, she glared at me, tightened her arms around her baby, and turned away. She was afraid of me. Her baby was growing up in a world of locks and strangers whom she needed to fear. The streets seemed full of drunks, addicts, and thieves. I realized I needed to be afraid of strangers, too, to protect myself.
