Practice Test 12

Read the scenario about the class discussion. Priya presents a social studies report about local government and says the mayor helps lead the city and the city council votes on rules. Jamal asks, "You said the council votes—how many people are on it in our town?" Lin says, "That connects to Jamal's remarks: who gets to vote for the council?" Carlos says, "My uncle is a police officer," and Emma asks, "Can we have extra recess?" Which question best stays on topic and links to another student's remarks?

Read the scenario about students' presentations. Students recount a special event. Rosa speaks clearly at an understandable pace about her soccer game, giving appropriate facts like the score and explaining how her team practiced passing. She adds relevant, descriptive details: “The grass was wet, and my cleats squished in the mud when I ran.” Amir speaks very slowly with long pauses, so the story is hard to follow. Emma rushes and leaves out what happened at the end. Which student has a poor understandable pace?
