Passage:
The number of people taking up the sport of running has increased significantly over the last 10 years. Sports experts give many reasons for the rise in the popularity of running. Because many people want to save money, they are avoiding paying fitness center dues and choosing instead to pound the pavement in running shoes and clothing, which are relatively inexpensive. Creative racing opportunities are also a draw for new runners. For example, adventure runs offer participants a chance to run through mud or outdistance zombies. Basically, running offers a new way to have fun while sweating.

Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass. “It didn’t hurt him,” the Unicorn said carelessly, and he was going on, when his eye happened to fall upon Alice: he turned round rather instantly, and stood for some time looking at her with an air of the deepest disgust. “What—is—this?” he said at last. “This is a child!” Haigha replied eagerly, coming in front of Alice to introduce her, and spreading out both his hands towards her in an Anglo-Saxon attitude. “We only found it to-day. It’s as large as life, and twice as natural!” “I always thought they were fabulous monsters!” said the Unicorn. “Is it alive?” “It can talk,” said Haigha, solemnly. The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said, “Talk, child.” Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: “Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too! I never saw one alive before!” “Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the Unicorn, “if you’ll believe in me, I’ll believe in you. Is that a bargain?” “Yes, if you like,” said Alice. Which statement best describes how the relationship between Alice and the Unicorn develops? A.Although Alice smiles at the Unicorn, he thinks that she is not real, but a dream.

Text:
Monday morning found Tom Sawyer miserable. Monday morning always found him so—because it began another week's slow suffering in school. He generally began that day with wishing he had had no intervening holiday, it made the going into captivity and fetters again so much more odious.
Tom lay thinking. Presently it occurred to him that he wished he was sick; then he could stay home from school. Here was a vague possibility. He canvassed his system. No ailment was found, and he investigated again. This time he thought he could detect colicky symptoms, and he began to encourage them with considerable hope. But they soon grew feeble, and presently died wholly away. He reflected further. Suddenly he discovered something. One of his upper front teeth was loose. This was lucky; he was about to begin to groan, as a "starter," as he called it, when it occurred to him that if he came into court with that argument, his aunt would pull it out, and that would hurt. So he thought he would hold the tooth in reserve for the present, and seek further. Nothing offered for some little time, and then he remembered hearing the doctor tell about a certain thing that laid up a patient for two or three weeks and threatened to make him lose a finger. So the boy eagerly drew his sore toe from under the sheet and held it up for inspection. But now he did not know the necessary symptoms. However, it seemed well worth while to chance it, so he fell to groaning with considerable spirit.
But Sid slept on unconscious.
Tom groaned louder, and fancied that he began to feel pain in the toe.
No result from Sid.
Tom was panting with his exertions by this time. He took a rest and then swelled himself up and fetched a succession of admirable groans.
Sid snored on.
Tom was aggravated. He said, "Sid, Sid!" and shook him. This course worked well, and Tom began to groan again. Sid yawned, stretched, then brought himself up on his elbow with a snort, and began to stare at Tom. Tom went on groaning. Sid said:
"Tom! Say, Tom!" [No response.] "Here, Tom! TOM! What is the matter, Tom?" And he shook him and looked in his face anxiously.

Select the correct sentence.

Although it was not finished, we left the movie early.
We left the movie early, even though it was not finished.

Read this paragraph from Passage 1.

One last change to movies to think about is production costs. Some studios spend hundreds of millions of dollars to create a film, but with a good enough film and a worldwide audience, they can also make billions of dollars in return. Movies have become a huge business, and the days of the small theater may be gone forever. For some of the old-fashioned movie lovers, this is not a good thing.

Which ONE sentence below from Passage 2 BEST supports this paragraph from Passage 1?




A “One Star Wars movie approached two billion dollars in worldwide revenue in less than a month of release.”
B “Today, more is spent on just trailers for movies than was spent on movies themselves in the past.”
C “Of course, there are many reasons why today’s movies can earn so much more in revenue than the older movies did.”
D “The risks associated with investing in a movie are still high.”
