First, I leave my house and take the south rampto get on the highway. Then I travel east on Route 54 for 65 miles.Route 54 is designated a Scenic Highway, and I enjoy driving it. Route54 comes to an end, and I take a left on US 37. Five miles after that,I usually stop to get some groceries at Lucy’s Little Store. After that, Icontinue another ten miles to the turn off that takes me up the hill tothe cabin I rent on Indian Lake.2.I am really proud of my first sports car. On the front I put a new vanityplate that says, “Smokin’ Hot.” It is a mirror-backed plate with metallicblue lettering, which matches the metallic blue of the car. I had it pin-striped with a thin line of smoke curling from the front quarter panelsall the way down the sides to the rear quarter panels. My cousin Jimmydoes awesome detail work and gave me a good deal on the paint job.On the front quarter panels, I installed chrome alloy side vents thatswoop upward toward the hood. Above the side vents, on the outeredge of the hood, I put two chrome hood scoops with five vent slots.Once again, Jimmy came through for me and did not charge me any-thing over cost for the eye candy. Behind the quarter panel vents, thedoors were trimmed out in chrome that matched the vents and my new22-inch spoked chrome wheels. My dad says I wasted a lot of money,but he just does not understand the importance of a smoking hot car.3.A recent survey at work rated the qualities of a good boss. I workat Talbot Productions, and three people in management recently leftfor other jobs. Being open to suggestions was the third most popularresponse. Next came being willing to support the people who workunder the bosses. This included being helpful and giving constructivecriticism. My boss, Anthony Hardinger, has never helped me, eventhough I have asked him to a bunch of times. The quality that wasrated highest was recognition of good workers. Mr. Hardinger hashardly ever spoken to me, much less recognized that I have done agood job.4.Downloading a free ringtone from a computer is an easy process.I recently got Rihana’s “Rude Boy,” and I love it. First, find a site that istrustworthy and offers the types of ringtones you want. Next, previewthe ringtones and listen to the sound bytes to determine if the soundquality is adequate.

answer key73.13eliminate Irrelevant DetailsDirections:The following body paragraphs come from an essay aboutchanges a student recommends to improve college football. Find andunderline the topic sentence of each body paragraph. Then ask yourselfwhich sentences are not relevant to what the writer expresses in the topicsentences (which sentences do not contribute to the paragraph’s unity) andcross them out.thesis statement:To decide the national champion, the NCAA shouldreplace the current system that uses a selection committee with a trueplayoff system.The way it works now, the final four football teams competing for thechampionship are decided by only 13 individuals. The people who makeup this committee might not be objective, so rankings that come fromthem might not be objective, either. President Obama said that he is favorof a playoff system.Also, a team can lose early in the season and then be out of the runningto be champion, even though it might improve the rest of the season. Hereat Oak Grove State, we are currently 4-1, and fans hope we are not goingto lose any other games. Look at last year’s records. Burton University lostthe first game and then won all the rest of them. McCarty College lost itssecond game when its star quarterback was out with mono, and then itwon all the rest by at least twenty points.A third reason to have a true playoff system is that sometimes schoolsschedule games against weaker opponents just so they can have a goodrecord at the end of the season. If a school with a great team plays aschool that has a lousy team, everybody knows that the great team willalmost always win. I think that is what Bell A&T has done for years. It isnot fair to schedule games against weaker teams just so your team canhave a good record. A true playoff system would take into account all winsand losses and conference winners and could provide wildcard spots forindependent teams with winning records.TICKETto WRITE

One way our administration canaddress this is by capping faculty and staff salaries. Another wayis toincrease tuition fees.

Maybe the worst offense is the pricesthat Speedy Fuel advertises on its signs are often as much as fivecents lower than the prices the pumps actually charge. Because ofall of these problems, Speedy Fuel and Food needs to be closed.TICKETto WRITE
