1. Read the following excerpt from The Pluto Files by Neil deGrasse Tyson. "The newly conceived exhibits treated the solar system in a way that was without
precedent for public institutions, even though murmurs had already begun in the
planetary science community that something needed to be done about Pluto's
classification in the solar system." Which paraphrase of this idea best maintains
its formal tone?
A. It took a really long time for museums to show that maybe Pluto isn't a planet,
except for this one museum.
B. Scientists had begun to debate privately whether or not Pluto is a planet, but this
was the first time the concept was presented in a museum for all to see.
C. Museums might not have Pluto in the right spot yet, even though they're supposed
to, because scientists are pretty sure it's not a planet.
D. I always used to get mixed up about Pluto being a planet or not until I saw the solar
system model in a museum that got it right.

The typical museum layout was to organize celestial objects by order, instead of the more logical grouping of common features.

B. Scientists had begun to debate privately whether or not Pluto is a planet, but this was the first time the concept was presented in a museum for all to see.

A P E X

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
