Read this excerpt (paragraphs 13-14) from Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad. Then answer the follow-up questions.
Ben could tell wonderful stories, too. So could her mother, Old Rit, though Rit’s were mostly from the Bible. Rit told about Moses and the children of Israel, about how the sea parted so that the children walked across on dry land, about the plague of locusts, about how some of the children were afraid on the long journey to the Promised Land, and so cried out: “It had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.”
Old Rit taught Harriet the words of that song that the slaves were forbidden to sing, because of the man named Denmark Vesey, who had urged the other slaves to revolt by telling them about Moses and the children of Israel. Sometimes, in the quarter, Harriet heard snatches of it, sung under the breath, almost whispered: “Go down, Moses. . . .” But she learned the words so well that she never forgot them.
Part A
Which of the following statements can you infer from this excerpt?
A. Ben had not read the Bible as Old Rit had.
B. The children of Israel were afraid on the long journey to the Promised Land.
C. Slaves were forbidden to sing “Go Down, Moses” because it was a religious song.
D. The slaves identified with the story of Moses because he had helped the children of Israel escape from slavery.
Part B
Which of these phrases or sentences from the excerpt provides textual evidence for the inference you chose in Part A?
A. “But she learned the words so well that she never forgot them.”
B.“. . . Denmark Vesey, who had urged the other slaves to revolt by telling them about Moses and the children of Israel.”
C. “‘It had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.’”
D. “Old Rit taught Harriet the words of that song that the slaves were forbidden to sing . . . . ”

"We interrupt your regular programming to bring you a special report. This is Carl Sterns, news anchor for Channel 1. Thirty minutes ago, the notorious crime syndicate Acute Perps struck again at the world-famous Wright Bank. Street reporter Stuart Olsen is live on the scene in Geo City. Let's go to Stuart now to find out more about these breaking developments. Stuart, what can you tell us?" "Well, Carl, at approximately 8:30 this morning, a trio of masked men overwhelmed security forces here at the Wright Bank in Geo City and robbed the bank of all its cash. This is the third robbery in as many days orchestrated by Acute Perps. According to police sources, the gang robs three locations in three days and then goes unseen for weeks before they strike again. Because this is their third robbery, officials expect the robbers will go underground for the next few weeks. However, the police need the help of Geo City citizens in the meantime." "This gang traditionally hits the three locations during each crime spree using the same pattern. Police are asking citizens to predict the next three locations Acute Perps will attack. They will use the information to stake out these locations in the coming weeks and bring Acute Perps to justice. Back to you, Carl." "Thanks, Stuart. It looks like the city has some important work to do!"
First, construct a triangle as indicated by your choice in step 1 on a coordinate plane. For example, if you chose to use an obtuse scalene triangle translation to prove SSS Congruence, then you will construct an obtuse scalene triangle. Make sure to measure your triangle's angles and sides. You can use the concept of distance and slope to ensure your triangle satisfies the criteria indicated by your choice. Write down the original coordinates of this triangle. Next, identify and label three points on the coordinate plane that are the transformation of your original triangle. Make sure you use the transformation indicated within the scenario you selected. For example, if you chose to use an obtuse scalene triangle translation to prove SSS Congruence, then you complete a translation of your triangle. Remember, you only need to complete one transformation on your triangle. Write down these new coordinates for this second triangle. • If you chose Obtuse Scalene Triangle Translation to prove SSS Congruence, use the coordinates of your transformation along with the distance formula to show that the two triangles are congruent by the SSS postulate. You must show all work with the distance formula and each corresponding pair of sides to receive full credit. • If you chose Isosceles Right Triangle Reflection to prove ASA Congruence, use the coordinates of your reflection to show that the two triangles are congruent by the ASA postulate. You can use the distance formula to show congruency for the sides. To show an angle is congruent to a corresponding angle, you can use slope or your compass and straightedge. (Hint: Remember when you learned how to copy an angle?) You must show all work with the distance formula for the corresponding pair of sides, and your work for the corresponding angles to receive full credit. If you chose Equilateral Equiangular Triangle Rotation to prove SAS Congruence, use the coordinates of your rotation to show that the two triangles are congruent by the SAS postulate. You can use the distance formula to show congruency for the sides. To show an angle is congruent to a corresponding angle, you can use slope or your compass and straightedge. (Hint: Remember when you learned how to copy an angle?) You must show all work with the distance formula for the corresponding pair of sides, and your work for the corresponding angles, to receive full credit.
Provide an answer to the questions that match your selected scenario. Because you only completed one scenario, only one group of questions should be answered in complete sentences and submitted with your work. Obtuse Scalene Triangle Translation to prove SSS Congruence 1. Describe the translation you performed on the original triangle. Use details and coordinates to explain how the figure was transformed, including the translation rule you applied to your triangle. 2.
