Call me a romantic if you want, but for me, the answer is the same simple, beautiful idea that has been making relationships work for thousands of years: separate bathrooms. You give two people room to spread out their toiletry articles, and you have the basis of a long-term relationship. But you make them perform their personal hygiene activities in the same small enclosed space, year in and year out, constantly finding the other person’s bodily hairs stuck on their deodorant sticks, and I don’t care how loving they were when they started out. I don’t care if they were Romeo and Juliet. They’ll be slipping poison into each other’s non-dairy creamer. The primary purpose of this paragraph is to [blank1].

Passage F The right to say what we want, where we want, is the cornerstone of a free society, and, as such, is near and dear to Americans. Justice William O. Douglas stated, “Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.” Despite our courts’ vigilant protection of this right, however, it is not an absolute right. The great Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote that freedom of speech does not give the person a right to yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater or to knowingly and maliciously say or write lies that damage the reputation of another. In schools, freedom of expression must be balanced with the school’s responsibility to maintain a safe and orderly environment and to protect people’s feelings and reputations.

If you want things to change, remember that change starts with you. Your own life, your own family. Get aware. Get active. Parents, you are your children’s primary role models. What they see you do, they’ll imitate. Take charge of your kids’ diets, their attitudes about food, their daily physical activity, their schools. Make the buying, preparing and enjoying of good, wholesome food a cherished family activity again. You don’t have to completely stop eating burgers and fries— I know I haven’t—but you can stop buying them processed and chemically infused from fast- food joints, and patronize a real sandwich shop that makes you a real burger and real fries right there when you order. Stop driving yourself and your kids everywhere from door to door. Get out and walk or ride a bike with them. Plant some veggies with them in your backyard. I promise you’ll remember how fun it is and how good it makes you feel. And you’ll be teaching your kids invaluable life habits. The primary purpose of this paragraph is to [blank1]. The tone of the paragraph can be described as [blank2].

Passage E We pulled out into traffic and immediately were serenaded by a blaring horn from a car speeding by us in the next lane. Apparently we had pulled out in front of the car, causing the driver to swerve quickly to avoid hitting us. We felt bad and were thankful that nothing serious had happened, but the other driver wasn’t so quick to forgive. For several miles she maneuvered to make us pull over, or slowed down in the neighboring lane in order to pull alongside our car. I wanted nothing to do with this and slowed down as well to avoid facing her. Finally, she pulled over as she approached a right-hand turn, and as we went by, she stuck her head out the window and screamed venomous slurs our way. I’ll never forget the expression on the woman’s face as we went by. It was filled with such hatred, such rage. The primary purpose of this paragraph is to [blank1]. The author’s tone is [blank2].
