Extract:
Lethal force, or deadly force, is defined as the physical means to cause death or serious harm to another individual. The law holds that lethal force is only accepted when you or another person are in immediate and unavoidable danger of death or severe bodily harm. For example, a person could be beating a weaker person in such a way that they are suffering severe enough trauma that could result in death or serious harm. This would be an instance where lethal force would be acceptable and possibly the only way to save that person from irrevocable damage.
Question 1 of 5
What is the purpose of the second passage?
Extract:
Global warming and the depletion of natural resources are constant threats to the future
of our planet. All people have a responsibility to be proactive participants in the fight to
save Earth by working now to conserve resources for later. Participation begins with our
everyday choices. From what you buy to what you do to how much you use, your decisions
affect the planet and everyone around you. Now is the time to take action.
When choosing what to buy, look for sustainable products made from renewable or
recycled resources. The packaging of the products you buy is just as important as the
products themselves. Is the item minimally packaged in a recycled container? How did the
product reach the store? Locally grown food and other products manufactured within your
community are the best choices. The fewer miles a product traveled to reach you, the fewer
resources it required.
You can continue to make a difference for the planet in how you use what you bought
and the resources you have available. Remember the locally grown food you purchased?
Don't pile it on your plate at dinner. Food that remains on your plate is a wasted resource,
and you can always go back for seconds. You should try to be aware of your consumption of
water and energy. Turn off the water when you brush your teeth, and limit your showers to
five minutes. Turn off the lights, and don't leave appliances or chargers plugged in when not
in use.

Extract:
There are several reasons why the new student cafe has not been as successful as expected. One factor is that prices are higher than originally advertised, so many students cannot afford to buy food and beverages there. Also, the cafe closes rather early; as a result, students go out in town to other late-night gathering places rather than meeting friends at the cafe on campus.
Question 4 of 5
Which organizational style is used in the following passage?
Extract:
"Did you ever come across a protege of his"�one Hyde?"� He asked. "Hyde?"� repeated Lanyon. "No. Never heard of him. Since my time."� That was the amount of information that the lawyer carried back with him to the great, dark bed on which he tossed to and fro until the small hours of the morning began to grow large. It was a night of little ease to his toiling mind, toiling in mere darkness and besieged by questions. Six o'clock struck on the bells of the church that was so conveniently near to Mr. Utterson's dwelling, and still he was digging at the problem. Hitherto it had touched him on the intellectual side alone; but now his imagination also was engaged, or rather enslaved; and as he lay and tossed in the gross darkness of the night in the curtained room, Mr. Enfield's tale went by before his mind in a scroll of lighted pictures.
