Answer 1

1.B 2.C

Answer 2

## Step 1 The first question asks us to identify the main purpose of the paragraph about Armstrong's career. The paragraph provides a chronological account of Armstrong's career, starting from his early days in New Orleans, his move to Chicago, his time in New York, and his eventual return to Chicago and then New York. ## Step 2 The paragraph does not focus on identifying mentors, contrasting opinions, or describing a musical style. Instead, it provides a timeline of Armstrong's career development. Therefore, the correct answer is B) list some of the early events in Armstrong's developing career. ## Step 3 The second question asks us to identify the main point of the paragraphs about the narrator's experience in Antarctica. The paragraphs describe the narrator's journey to Antarctica, her observations of the petrel, and her anticipation of sharing her experiences upon returning home. ## Step 4 The narrator does not express disappointment in herself or suggest that the trip back will be easier. Instead, she contrasts her own experiences with those of the petrel, which she believes better demonstrate survival skills. Therefore, the correct answer is C) will boast about her own experience but believes the petrel better demonstrates survival skills.
