Read this paragraph from Passage 2.

There are also many costs involved in making movies that most people do not know about. There are the costs of the actors, directors, and all the other workers on the movie sets. The costs of the sets, locations, accommodations, and all the other things that are needed can also add up very quickly. Once the movie has been shot, there are many costs added in the editing process, especially if computer-assisted graphics are needed for the movie. Once the movie is ready to be released to the public, the costs increase even more. Advertising and promoting the movie, along with distributing the movie to the theaters can cost as much as the movie itself. All along the way, everyone involved in the movie is trying to make money and hoping that their movie will generate enough revenue to make a profit.

Why did the author MOST likely include this paragraph in the passage?




A to explain what goes into making a movie
B to explain why movies cost so much to make
C to explain why producers need their movies to make a profit
D to explain what steps movie makers go through to make movies

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.

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.

B.
A family member is telling the story.
C.
Sid is narrating the story.
D.
Tom is narrating the story.

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.
