1 Edge Level B Unit 1 Cluster 2 Thank You, M am 1. At the beginning of the story, all of the following contributed to the woman wanting to help the boy EXCEPT A. he was skinny B. his face was dirty C. his jeans were torn D. he seemed frightened LA The correct answer is C. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they represent plausible but incorrect distractors based on the text. Option A is incorrect because the boy is skinny. He is described on page 43 as frail and willowwild which is defined as weak and small, with skinny arms and legs. Option B is incorrect because the boy has a dirty face. On page 43 the woman remarks, Your face is dirty. I got a great mind to wash your face for you. Ain t you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face? Option C is correct because the reader learns on page 42 that he is wearing blue jeans, The large woman simply turned around and kicked him right square in his blue-jeaned sitter. However, the reader does not know if the jeans were torn. Option D is incorrect because on page 43 the reader learns the boy is scared, Then it will get washed this evening, said the large woman, starting up the street, dragging the frightened boy behind her. 2. Read these sentences from the story. Then, Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face, said the woman, whereupon she turned him loose at last. Roger looked at the door looked at the woman looked at the door and went to the sink. Why did the author type some words in italics? F. so that the reader should be surprised at the decision that Roger made G. so that the reader should look for this phrase in the dictionary H. so that if the reader reads the passage out loud, the reader would know to say these words in a very loud voice I. so that the reader would know that these words were spoken by Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones Copyright 2010 The Hampton-Brown Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The National Geographic Society, publishing under the imprints National Geographic School Publishing and Hampton-Brown. Teachers are authorized to reproduce this material in limited quantities and solely for use in their own classrooms.

2 LA The correct answer is F. Options G, H, and I are incorrect because they represent incorrect analysis and interpretation of text features. The sentences appear on page 44. Option F is correct because the author is telling the readers that by looking back and forth between the door and the sink he is deciding which way to go. He looks to the woman because she has become an influence on his decision. The words in italics emphasize his decision which may be a surprise to the reader and a surprise to Roger himself. Option G is incorrect because the phrase does not need to be defined. Option H is incorrect because if reading the passage aloud, the reader need not say these words in a loud voice, in fact, usually words which are intended to be spoken loudly are printed in boldface type, not italics. Option I is incorrect because words spoken by a character are placed in quotation marks, not printed in italics. 3. Read this sentence from the story. And next time, do not make the mistake of latching onto my pocketbook nor anybody else s because shoes got by devilish ways will burn your feet. Which of the following best restates the meaning of this sentence? A. Objects acquired in an incorrect or illegal manner will not be as great as you expect. B. People who try to steal purses deserve to have their hands and feet burned as punishment. C. If the boy grabs her pocketbook again, she will take his shoes away from him. D. Blue suede shoes will be so hot on his feet that he ll think is feet are on fire. LA The correct answer is A. Option B is incorrect because it represents details drawn from the text but unrelated to the assessed phrases or test question. Options C and D are incorrect because they represent incorrect meanings of assessed phrases found within the excerpted text. The sentence appears on page 48. Option A is correct because her message is that Roger wanted to steal money to buy blue suede shoes; however, the act of stealing the money will make him feel worse that the happiness he imagines he would have by getting new shoes. Option B is incorrect because Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones is not speaking literally; she does not mean that someone s feet will be on fire. She is meaning that one s conscience will be awakened. Option C is incorrect because she is not speaking literally; her message is don t steal anyone s pocketbook to take money to buy shoes or for any other reason. Stealing is bad. Option D is incorrect because whether blue suede shoes make the wearer s feet hot or not is not the point of the sentences. She is not talking of literal fire, she means the guilt Roger would have from robbing someone else. 4. The author most likely wrote this story to F. describe how Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones prepares dinner for a friend G. show how purse snatching is a problem for both the purse owner and the purse grabber Hampton Brown Edge Level B, Unit 1, Cluster 2 2 of 6

3 H. relate an adventure of a poor, skinny boy who meets a woman with a large purse I. show that kindness can be used to teach a young boy an important life lesson LA The correct answer is I. Options F, G, and H are incorrect because they represent facts and details that do not support the author s purpose or represent the author s perspective. Option F is incorrect because the fact that Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones prepared food for Roger is a detail in the story; not the purpose of the story. Option G is incorrect because the attempted purse-snatching was merely setting the stage for the author s lesson: stealing isn t the way to acquire what you want. Option H is incorrect because this may state the action of the story, but it does not state the message of the story. Option I is correct because this is the message of the story: Roger is taught a lesson in a compassionate way. Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones shows that she cares for Roger, and she tries to teach him a life lesson about honesty and how to treat others. 5. Which phrase best describes Mrs. Jones discipline philosophy? A. tough love B. strong punishment C. three chances and you re out D. spank would-be thieves LA The correct answer is A. Option B is incorrect because it represents incorrect inferences or conclusions based on details found in the text. Options C and D are incorrect because they represent plausible but incorrect distractors based on the text. Option A is correct because tough love is defined by as love or affectionate concern expressed in a stern or unsentimental manner (as through discipline) especially to promote responsible behavior. Mrs. Jones seems to treat Roger harshly, yet she is trying to teach him a life lesson. Option B is incorrect because she really isn t in a position to punish Roger; her goal is to teach him a lesson not to cause him to suffer for what he tried to do. Option C is incorrect because this is not a part of the story. Option D is incorrect because she does not hit Roger as a punishment. Hampton Brown Edge Level B, Unit 1, Cluster 2 3 of 6

4 Edge Level B Unit 1 Cluster 2 Juvenile Justice from Both Sides of the Bench 6. According to the interview, what is one reason why teenagers who are found guilty are being sent to adult prisons? F. They need to be taught how to make better options about their future. G. They are committing serious crimes and deserve longer prison sentences. H. They are almost old enough to be considered adults, so the law says they should be tried in adult court. I. They may become productive citizens if they are provided with the proper programs to help them change their behavior. LA The correct answer is G. Options F and I are incorrect because they represent incorrect causal relationships based on the text. Option H is incorrect because it represents incorrect rationales and/or interpretations of implied causal relationships. Option F is incorrect because the teens have already made poor choices that is what landed them in court in the first place. They do need to be taught to make better choices, but some would argue that adult prison is not the best place where those lessons may be learned. As Judge LaDoris Cordell says on page 53, We re throwing away these kids. And I have found, in my experience, that there are salvageable young people. Option G is correct because as the reader learns on page 51, Teens who are tried as adults can also receive longer sentences, or periods of punishment. Many people believe such punishment is a better fit for more serious crimes. They see this as more important than how old the person is. Option H is incorrect because the law does not say that they must be tried as adults; however, as the reader learns on page 51, Recent legislation in many U.S. states makes it easier to try, or judge, juvenile offenders in adult criminal court and not in juvenile court. Option I is incorrect because as the reader learns from Judge Thomas Edwards on page 52, given the proper types of programs to change their behavior, we have a chance at salvaging these kids. The goal here is to provide the programs to teens at a young age through the juvenile court system not adult prisons. 7. According to the interview, which judge or attorney has tried/presided over adult cases? A. Judge LaDoris Cordell B. Attorney Bridgett Jones C. Judge Thomas Edwards D. Attorney Kurt Kumli LA The correct answer is A. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent plausible but incorrect distractors based on the text. Hampton Brown Edge Level B, Unit 1, Cluster 2 4 of 6

5 Option A is correct because the caption on page 53 next to the picture states that she heard both juvenile and adult cases. Option B is incorrect because the caption on page 54 next to the picture states that she worked in the Juvenile Division of the Santa Clara County Public Defender s Office. Option C is incorrect because the caption on page 52 next to the picture states that he was the presiding judge of the Juvenile Court of Santa Clara County. Option D is incorrect because the caption on page 55 next to the picture states that he was the supervising deputy district attorney for the Juvenile Division of the Santa Clara County District Attorney s Office. 8. The use of red-colored type throughout the interview helps the reader to F. identify important information. G. easily separate the questions from the answers. H. learn more about a juvenile judge s job. I. recognize the special vocabulary related to our court system. LA The correct answer is G. Option F is incorrect because it represents incorrect analysis and interpretation of text features. Option H is incorrect because it represents incorrect or irrelevant information drawn from text features. Option I is incorrect because it represents plausible but incorrect distractors based on text features. Option F is incorrect because the red-colored type is not used to provide emphasis or to identify important information. Option G is correct because the red type begins with a capital Q meaning Question; the red faced words are the questions that were asked of the judges. Option H is incorrect because the red-colored type is not used to provide information about the judge s job. Option I is incorrect because the red-colored type is not used to highlight judicial vocabulary. 9. What is true about BOTH Mrs. Jones in Thank You, M am and the judges and attorneys interviewed in Juvenile Justice from Both Sides of the Bench? A. They want all juvenile offenders sent to prison. B. They believe in rehabilitation if at all possible to avoid incarceration. C. They use the court system to make sure teenagers obey the law. D. They recognize that there are not enough resources in the juvenile justice system. LA The correct answer is B. Options A and C are incorrect because they represent incorrect comparisons. Option D is incorrect because it represents plausible but incorrect distractors based on the text. Option A is incorrect because neither Mrs. Jones nor the judges/attorneys wants all juvenile offenders sent to prison. Option B is correct because both Mrs. Jones and the judges/attorneys believe in rehabilitation of juveniles. Option C is incorrect because Mrs. Jones did not take efforts to place Roger into the court system. Option D is incorrect because Mrs. Jones was not Hampton Brown Edge Level B, Unit 1, Cluster 2 5 of 6

6 concerned with the number or kind of resources in the juvenile justice system a topic addressed by Kurt Kumli on page The interviewer provides certain information about the judges and attorneys who were interviewed EXCEPT F. how old they were when the interview happened G. the county where they work H. the number or types of cases they ve heard in their courtrooms I. their current or past job or position LA The correct answer is F. Options G, H, and I are incorrect because they represent plausible but incorrect distractors based on the text. Option F is correct because the ages of the interviewees is not provided in the information provided in the captions next to the pictures of those who were interviewed. Option G is incorrect because the captions provide information that they all worked in Santa Clara County. Option H is incorrect because the captions provide this information: Judge Edwards how many juvenile cases he heard per month; Judge Cordell the types of cases she heard; Attorney Jones type of cases she handled; Attorney Kumli type of cases he handled; Judge Hoffman type of cases she heard. Option I is incorrect because the captions tell the reader what jobs the interviewees currently have or, in the case of Judge Hoffman, the type of cases she heard prior to retirement.
