Teacher / self-study answer guidance

Accept answers that accurately identify the central idea, use a short supporting detail, and explain a reasonable inference. Wording may vary. Check the full interactive lesson and original source when context is unclear; this bounded excerpt is practice material, not a complete news report.

Only bounded excerpts are included. Use the interactive lesson and linked publisher source for the full context.
