Use the poem to answer the question.
I sit and stare out my window
Watching the rain pour down
Wishing I could escape below
And ride my bike into town.
Shadows crawl up my wall;
It feels like the whole day is gone.
I’ll sit and watch the nighttime fall
And just sleep away until dawn.

Use the two passages to answer the question.
Have you ever seen a sea turtle, whale, shark, or dolphin? Even if you have only seen pictures online, you can see how cute all of these creatures are. Well, they are in danger. So many of them are killed every year because of plastic waste. From people throwing away single-use water bottles to companies using a ton of plastic to make their products, we can all do better. Scientists are finding creatures like fish and sea birds with their stomachs filled with indigestible plastic. We have to change this, starting today!
Oceans cover 71 percent of Earth’s surface, and they are where most of Earth’s water comes from. Because of this, they are one of our greatest natural resources. Unfortunately, around 8 million metric tons of plastic enters our oceans each year. We all need to do more to save our oceans from this type of pollution. Fortunately, there are groups like the Ocean Conservancy, Oceana, and the Lonely Whale Foundation. They are all dedicated to helping this issue.
A student is researching the impact of plastic waste. Write a paragraph that compares and contrasts the two passages. Explain which passage would be better for the student to use and why.
(4 points)
Both passages describe the impact of plastic waste on sea creatures and the importance of protecting the oceans. The first passage focuses on the danger faced by sea turtles, whales, sharks, and dolphins due to plastic waste and encourages readers to take action to reduce this pollution. The second passage provides more general information about the importance of oceans as a natural resource and the scale of plastic pollution in oceans, as well as highlighting the work of organizations working to combat this issue.
For the student's research, the first passage would be better to use as it provides more specific examples of how plastic waste is harming sea creatures and encourages readers to take immediate action. The student can also use the second passage to provide additional context and information.
