1 Once there was a farmer. This farmer was a kind man who loved all creatures. He would go out of his way to do whatever he could to make sure that the creatures he found were safe, well-fed and warm, no matter what kind of creature they were. 2 One day, the farmer found a snake outside on the ground. It was freezing cold outside and there was snow on the ground. The farmer felt sorry for the snake. He was shivering in the cold and ice was beginning to freeze on his scales. Even though the snake was known to be poisonous, the farmer picked up the snake and took him inside. He set the snake in front of the fire to warm itself. 3 While sitting next to the snake, the warmth of the fire caused the farmer to fall asleep. The snake became warm and was ready to go outside. Because the farmer was asleep and could not let him out, the snake did what he did to humans he came into contact with- he bit the farmer. The farmer woke with a jolt. As the snake's poison slowly worked inside the farmer, he said 'I should have known better. Even being kind cannot change the ways of a snake!' 4 Now there was another farmer who did not like animals. He especially did not like cranes because they liked to eat his seeds. He set out to trap the cranes with large nets. Once he caught a bunch of cranes, he brought them back to the barn to kill them. It was then that he noticed a stork sitting amongst the cranes. 5 The stork looked at the farmer and said 'Please don't kill me! I am not a crane. I am a beautiful stork who would never even dare steal your seeds. I am not a bird who deserves to be killed.' 6 The farmer just laughed at the crane. 'You may not be a crane,' he said, 'but I found you with the cranes, doing the same thing they were doing. Since you were hanging out with the cranes, I consider you just like them and so you will experience the same fate. After all, birds of a feather flock together.' These two stories would be considered what type of literature?

Which of the following sentences contains imagery? A. I told Charlie I had a lot of homework to do. B. 'It was nice to see you again,' Jacob said. C. I opened my eyes and looked around. D. I could hear the waves crashing against the rocks somewhere nearby.

1 In third-world countries such as Swaziland and Haiti, a $15 dollar invention is making a world of difference. Nokero, a company started by Brian Rants, sells lamps that do not require kerosene. These solar lamps have become a staple in countries in Africa and tent cities in Haiti, to provide light for reading and safety at night. 2 Nokero has sold over 500,000 lamps in over 120 countries since it was first founded in 2010 and Rants thinks the demand for his product will only continue to increase. Most lamps found in third-world countries currently require kerosene to run, but kerosene causes indoor pollution and has been linked to fires that have caused over a million deaths. 3 Instead of experiencing the effects of smoking 40 cigarettes a day from kerosene lamps, Rants thinks his solar lamps could be the answer for third-world countries. The Economist agrees, calling solar lights 'the next big innovation for the world's poor. Nokero's solar lamps are higher in quality and less expensive than a lot of solar technology, making them a viable option for many people in third world countries. 4 Rather than giving solar lamps to individuals in need, Nokero's mission is to make them affordable. Through research Rants has realized that individuals who buy a solar product take better care of it and value it more than if they had received it for free. Families who buy Nokero's solar lamps make up the cost in just a few months of not having to buy kerosene or pay for off-the-grid electricity. 5 Some activists have gone after companies such as Nokero for selling products to the poor rather than simply giving them out for free. They argue that these companies unfairly profit off the poor. However, Rants disagrees. Families receive a product that is much higher in quality than what they might receive for free and feel a sense of ownership having purchased it for themselves. This article would most likely be found in....? A. A brochure for Nokero B. A church pamphlet C. A newspaper D. A fictional magazine
