Identify the sentence that expresses the central point or thesis statement in each selection.           1When president John Adams and his wife moved into the White House in 1800, the building was still being completed. 2There was not even a toilet, and Mrs. Adams had to hang the family laundry to dry in the East Room. 3Trying to stay warm in the enormous building, the family had to keep thirteen fireplaces going and soon ran out of firewood.          4During the Abraham Lincoln presidency, the building functioned as military headquarters, with troops often staying in spare rooms. 5When Lincoln’s mentally unstable wife, Mary, redecorated the White House, spending far more than the $20,000 allotted by Congress, the President was furious. 6He asked how she could spend taxpayers’ money on “Flub dubs for this damned old house, when the soldiers cannot have blankets?”         7Teddy Roosevelt and his wife bought six very lively children to live in the White House. 8Aged 3 to 17, the youngsters turned the house into a huge playground, galloping ponies across the lawns and scaring visitors with pet snakes.           9John F. Kennedy’s First Lady, Jacqueline, left a lasting mark on the White House by privately raising more than $100,000 to furnish it with a beautiful collection of American antiques. 10Her famous TV tour of the White House was immensely popular and watched by millions of Americans.            11As these examples show, life in the White House has varied according to the times and the interests and activities of the president and his family. The central point/thesis statement is in sentence _______.

Read the passage below and answer each question that follows with the answer most logically supported by the information given. 1What is it about humor that makes us laugh? 2The clue can be found in the fact that almost all jokes contain a contradiction between two realities, usually a conventional and an unconventional one. 3These two realities represent conflicting definitions of the same situation. 4To make people laugh, we first make them clearly aware of their taken-for-granted conventional definition of a situation and then surprise them by contradicting that definition with an unconventional one. 5Look, for example, at the following joke from a study by one researcher: 6My wife comes home and says, “Pack your bags. 7I just won $20 million in the California lottery.” 8“Where are we going? Hawaii? Europe?” I ask jubilantly. 9She says, “I don’t know where you’re going, Doug, as long as it’s out of here.” 10The first two sentences set up in our mind the conventional assumption that the married couple will share the joy of winning the lottery. 11The punch line strikes down that assumption with the unexpected, unconventional reality that a presumably loving wife wants to be free from her husband. The humor in the joke comes from the

Identify the sentence that best expresses the implied main idea of the paragraph.  All of us have at one time or another have been repelled by so-called agony commercials, which depict in graphic detail the internal and intestinal effects of heartburn, indigestion, clogged sinus cavities, hammer-induced headaches, and the like. Nevertheless, pharmaceutical companies often run such commercials with great success because they appeal to a certain segment of the population that suffers from ailments that are not visible and thus elicit little sympathy from family and friends. Their complaints are legitimized by commercials with which they immediately identify. With the sponsor’s credibility established (“They really understand the misery I’m going through”), the message itself tends to be highly persuasive in getting consumers to buy the advertised product.

The passage below from The Writing Life, by Annie Dillard, is about writing a book.

   1For decades, relief workers had been frustrated in their ability to effectively help victims of famine throughout the world. 2In villages without electricity, it was useless to give people supplies of milk because there was no way to keep the milk from spoiling. 3Powdered milk or grain was equally useless because most villagers didn’t have clean water with which to mix it. 4Then a few years ago, a French nutritionist developed a paste made of peanut butter, vegetable oil, powdered milk, and powdered sugar, and enriched with vitamins and minerals. 5Since the paste didn’t need refrigeration, water, or cooking, mothers, simply squeezed it out of plastic packages to feed their children. 6The results have been miraculous, children who consume the peanut butter paste add pounds rapidly, often going from a near-death state to relative health in a month. 7Not surprisingly, some are calling the paste the greatest health breakthrough since the antibiotic penicillin. Which sentence states the problem in this paragraph? _______
