WORD LIST restricted forbidden sacrifices

A. DIRECTIONS: For each of the following items, consider the meaning of the italicized word. Then, answer the question.

1. If access to a website is restricted, can everyone use it? Explain.

2. If you are forbidden from entering the library, does that mean you are banned from going in? Explain. 3. In her diary, Anne Frank writes: “to be honest, I’m not exactly delighted at having a stranger use my things, but you have to make sacrifices for a good cause, and I’m glad I can make this small one.” Is a sacrifice an easy thing to make? Explain.

B. WORD STUDY: In Anne’s diary, the vocabulary word restricted is used to describe the ways in which freedom was limited or confined by the Germans’ anti-Jewish decrees. Restricted contains both the Latin root -strict-, which means “draw tight” or “bind,” and the prefix re-, which means “again” or “back.” Using your knowledge of the root -strict-, choose the correct meaning of each word on the left from the definitions on the right.

1. constrict A. without limits

2. restriction B. limitation or barrier

3. strict C. draw in or squeeze together

4. unrestricted D. carefully limited or exact

CENTRAL IDEA AND SUPPORTING DETAILS

The central idea is the most important point in a written piece. Writers usually convey their central ideas in an introduction. Then, the central idea is reinforced by supporting details in the paragraphs that follow. • Sometimes the central idea is stated. The writer directly tells the reader the central idea. • Sometimes the central idea is implied. The writer suggests, rather than directly tells, the central idea. • Whether it is stated or implied, the central idea is supported by details. In the following example, the central idea is that the writer was having a bad morning. The writer does not directly state this idea. Instead, the writer describes the events that made the morning bad. The train was late this morning, and I forgot to pack a sandwich to take to work. When I got off the train, it was raining—but I had forgotten to take my umbrella! By the time I got to work, I was ready to turn around and head back home. What a morning! Central Idea: The writer had a bad morning. In the example, several details support the central idea, such as the late train, the missing lunch, and the rain. These details all show that the writer was having a bad morning. DIRECTIONS: Look for the central idea in the following passage. Notice whether it is implied or stated. Find details that support the central idea. Researchers are finding that eating dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate or white chocolate can help lower blood pressure. Dark chocolate is an antioxidant, which means that it helps attack molecules in the body that can lead to heart disease. Of course, eating dark chocolate is a great idea—but watch out for the extra calories! Balance them by exercising more. 1. What is the central idea of the passage?

2. Is the central idea implied or stated? Explain.

3. What are two details that support the central idea?

DIRECTIONS: Read the passage. Then, answer the questions that follow

The islands of Hawaii were formed by volcanoes that began at the bottom of the ocean. Over millions of years, these volcanoes erupted many times, spewing out melted rock called lava. As the lava hardened and piled up, it gradually formed huge hills above the surface of the sea. These hills became the Hawaiian Islands. Some volcanoes in Hawaii are no longer active, but others, such as Kilauea, still erupt from time to time, forming new land. Many tourists to Hawaii are fascinated to see the results of these earthshaking natural wonders. It is amazing to see that cities have sprung up around the crater of an ancient volcano. 1.
