INFORMATIONAL TEXT
Historical Text
Read the passage about Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. Then, answer the
following question(s).
(1) Did you know that a 1906 novel led to a law that changed the way
Americans process food? That novel was Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. The
book exposed harsh working conditions and unsanitary practices in the urban
meatpacking plants of Chicago. The Jungle forced light into the dark corners
of big business.
(2) Sinclair filled The Jungle with facts to show America how poorly
immigrants and the working class were treated by the big companies, which
were driven by greed. The Chicago Tribune wrote that Sinclair “set out to
write a book that would do for workers what Uncle Tom’s Cabin had done for
slaves half a century earlier.”
(3) But Sinclair was surprised that it was his horrific description of how
meat was processed that caused the bigger uproar. It infuriated Americans.
Sinclair remarked, “I aimed at the public’s heart and by accident I hit it in the
stomach.” The outrage was heard in the White House. President Theodore
Roosevelt ordered an investigation into the book’s claims and found that
everything Sinclair wrote was true. The meatpacking companies had tried to
keep a lid on their shameful practices. With a single book, Sinclair had
exposed them.
(4) Roosevelt pressured Congress to pass the 1906 Pure Food and
Drug and Federal Meat Inspection Acts, and they did. The acts changed the
ways in which food and drugs are handled in the United States.
(5) Sinclair’s book was the catalyst for improvements in sanitary
conditions in manufacturing plants. He was an author who would not be
silenced. The corrupt businessmen he exposed called Sinclair a “muckraker”
(literally someone who rakes “muck”), but the people who benefited from
Sinclair’s “muckraking” enjoyed better labor laws and safer food and drugs.
6. The following question has two parts. Answer Part A first, and then
Part B.
Part A Which central idea is most clearly supported by the ideas in
the passage?
a. The best way to enact a legal reform is to use popular books to
reach the masses.
b. It is the duty of journalists to anger corporations and the people
who run them.
c. A fight for a particular cause may have unintended
consequences, bad or good.
d. The only way to enact lasting change in America is to appeal to
the president.
Part B Which piece of evidence best supports the central idea from
Part A?
7. Which answer choice most accurately rephrases the sentence
containing the idiomatic expression “keep a lid on”? (paragraph 3)
a. The meatpacking companies had tried to hide their secrets.
b. The meatpacking companies had tried to stop their worst
practices.
c. The meatpacking companies had tried to disprove Sinclair’s
findings.
d. The meatpacking companies had tried to invite reporters to do
investigations.
8. The passage quotes Sinclair as saying, “I aimed at the public’s heart.”
(paragraph 3) Which answer choice most accurately restates his
meaning?
a. I tried to cause readers physical pain.
a. The corrupt men who ran businesses did not like Sinclair.
b. Sinclair wanted to write a book similar to Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
c. President Roosevelt finally decided to read the book because of
the outrage from Americans.
d. Sinclair cared about poor working conditions, but his book led to
changes in meat processing.
b. I questioned people’s ability to feel compassion for others.

LITERARY TEXT
from Oliver Twist, Charles Dickens
Read the excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. Then, answer the
following question(s).
[B]eing born in a workhouse… was the best thing for Oliver Twist that could by
possibility have occurred. The fact is, that there was considerable difficulty in
inducing Oliver to take upon himself the office of respiration,—a troublesome
practice, but one which custom has rendered necessary to our easy existence;
and for some time he lay gasping on a little flock mattress, rather unequally poised
between this world and the next: the balance being decidedly in favor of the latter.
Now, if, during this brief period, Oliver had been surrounded by careful
grandmothers, anxious aunts, experienced nurses, and doctors of profound
wisdom, he would most inevitably and indubitably have been killed in no time.
There being nobody by, however, but a pauper old woman… and a parish
surgeon, who did such matters by contract; Oliver and Nature fought out the point
between them. The result was, that, after a few struggles, Oliver breathed,
sneezed, and proceeded to advertise to the inmates of the workhouse the fact of
a new burden having been imposed upon the parish, by setting up as loud a cry
as could reasonably have been expected from a male infant who had not been
possessed of that very useful appendage, a voice, for a much longer space of
time than three minutes and a quarter.

c. Oliver and Nature fought out the point between them.
d. [Oliver] proceeded to advertise to the inmates of the workhouse
the fact of a new burden having been imposed upon the parish…

2 The composition is focused on the task and complete, but the organization could be improved. Ideas flow logically, but the composition may also include some repetition or contain some ideas that are less developed than others. A main idea is well developed and supported with relevant detail. The student chooses precise words and has a clear voice. Sentence structure is varied, and the writing is free of fragments. Any errors in writing conventions are minor and do not impair the fluency of the writing. 160-180 words
1.5 The composition is focused on the task, but unrelated material sometimes intrudes. Occasionally, the writing shifts suddenly from idea to idea without a smooth transition, but the relationships between ideas remain clear. A clear organizational pattern is present, though lapses occur. The writing may also include irrelevant information, repetition, gaps in ideas, or lists of undeveloped ideas. A main idea is adequately supported, but development may be uneven. Sentence structure is free of fragments but usually lacks variation. The student demonstrates a limited command of writing conventions. Errors in spelling and punctuation may not obscure meaning but do weaken the overall fluency of the composition. 140-160 words
