Read this excerpt from "The Think Tank" by Patricia Daniels.

Azy, a 21-year-old male orangutan, had been scoring 100 percent on the day's vocabulary test—until now. National Zoo biologist Rob Shumaker holds up some folded bags containing chopped fruit. "Okay, Azy—want to tell me what this is?" In front of the rusty-haired ape is a computer screen showing some symbols. Each one stands for a word. Azy lifts his long, graceful hand and points to the symbol for cup. A buzzer sounds. The screen shows an hourglass symbol that means his answer is wrong.

For the first time this afternoon, Azy seems confused. Shumaker shows him the bags again, and again the orang points to "cup". On the fourth try, Azy figures it out. He points to the symbol for "bag," and Shumaker hands him the paper bags through an opening in the Plexiglas between them. Azy picks out the fruit and reluctantly hands back the bags when the biologist asks politely, "Azy, can I have those?"

For the last three years, Shumaker has been working with Azy and five other orangutans and the Zoo's Think Tank building. In addition to these great apes, Think Tank Researchers are studying creatures as various as hermit crabs, leaf-cutter ants, and macaques. They hope to learn whether—and how—animals think. Some of the scientists look at tool use. Others observe the animals' social life. Shumaker would like to know if orangutans can learn language.

Read the excerpt from "Code Talkers." Although American Indian soldiers had effectively used their languages to create and transmit secret messages during World War I, military leaders were reluctant to use the code a second time, fearing that it would no longer be effective. The Japanese and German governments had sent students to the United States specifically to learn certain American Indian languages. The Navajo language, however, was so complex that few people outside the Navajo Nation itself could speak it. In 1942, it was estimated that only thirty non-Navajos spoke the language worldwide. Which questions would improve the reader's ability to understand the military leaders' fear that the code would no longer be effective? Select 2 options.

The poem if needed:

On Turning Ten (Billy Collins).

The whole Idea of it makes me feel
like I'm coming down with something,
something worse than any stomach ache.
Or the headaches I get from reading in bad light-
a kind of measles to the spirit,
a mumps of the psyche,
a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul.

You tell me it is too early to be looking back,
but that is because you have forgotten
the perfect simplicity of being one
and the beautiful complexity introduced by two.
But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit.
At four I was an Arabian wizard.
I could make myself invisible
by drinking a glass of milk a certain way.
At seven I was a solider, at nine a prince.

But now I am mostly at the window
watching the late afternoon light.
Back then it never fell so solemnly

I'm going to cut the poem off there.
-Thank you for the help.
