PLEASE HELP!! Giddy-up, cowboys and girls! In the Southwest during early half of the 1800s, cows were only
worth 2 or 3 dollars apiece. They roamed wild, grazed off of the open range, and were abundant.
Midway through the century though, railroads were built and the nation was connected. People in
the Southwest could suddenly ship cows in freight trains to the Northeast. The Yankees there had
a growing taste for beef and were willing to pay for it. Out of the blue, the same cows that were
once worth a couple of bucks were now worth between twenty and forty dollars each. The only
problem was that they had to get these cows to the train station. A new profession emerged from
this. It became pretty lucrative to wrangle up a drove of cattle and herd them to the nearest train
town. Of course it was dangerous too. Cowboys were threatened at every turn. They faced cattle
rustlers, stampedes and extreme weather. But they kept pushing those steers to the train station.
By the turn of the century, barbed wire killed the open range. Some may say the cowboy, too,
was killed by barbed wire. Maybe, but it was the train that birthed them.

Ineed . read the passage, and choose the three (3) inferences that are most firmly based on the given information. your sister has a new boyfriend. the first time you meet him, he corners you and talks to you for an hour about football, a subject in which you have no interest at all. you come away with the impression that he is an inconsiderate bore. the next two times you see him, however, he says not a word about football. he participates in the general conversation and makes some witty and intelligent remarks. what is your impression of him now? do you find him likable and interesting on the basis of the last two encounters? do you average out the early minus and the later plus and come out with a neutral zero? neither is likely. what is likely is that you still think of him as an inconsiderate bore. psychological research suggests that first impressions, as our mothers and fathers told us, are quite lasting. 1. the words “neutral zero” refer to an impression that is positive. 2. the words “neutral zero” refer to an impression that is neither positivenor negative. 3. the selection suggests that it’s a good idea to make good firstimpressions. 4. the selection suggests that it can be difficult to remain objective aboutothers. 5. first impressions tend to be fair and balance
