Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Something that makes sense is happening in Washington, D.C! Public school kids surrounded by museums and monuments are putting the ready-made learning tools to use -- and actually learning. A trip to see painter Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series is one of almost 200 trips that Wheelock will organize this year through the nonprofit group Live It Learn It. "For many kids, school is disconnected," says one of four full-time workers and tour leaders. "With the program, they see how what they are learning is connected to their communities." Seven years ago, Wheelock changed a job as a lawyer for one as a four-grade teacher. When he learned that D.C.'s public schools ranked behind those of other cities in many ways, he knew he had to do something different. He took his class to Capitol Hill for a lesson on the three branches of government -- and saw his students' interest develop quickly. With seed money from a local couple, Wheelock developed detailed lesson plans for trips to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Lincoln Memorial. The group also has classes for trips to the Anacostia River, boat rides to historical forts. Word spread, and now fourth, fifth, sixth graders from the neediest public schools in the District participate. "I'm not brave enough to take my class to a museum for over an hour!" says teacher Cathy McCoy, gesturing toward her students. "But look With Live It Learn It, what the kids learn today they'll remember for a lifetime." Question: What will the lessons be like with Live It Learn It in Cathy McCoy's opinion? - Eye-catching. - Challenging. - Forgettable. - Impressive.
Impressive.

(Q).
Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Last August, I traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo, a small community near Tela, Honduras to help renovate a community centre. During my stay there, I learned many things and I also had plenty of opportunity to interact and work with local children, and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day, all factors considered to place children at-risk for problems later in life. One young boy in particular, Javier, 16, stood out for me. Javier's father had left a year earlier for the U. S., and the family had not heard from him since. This put his mother in a difficult position, stay in Tres de Mayo with no job and no source of income. In the end she decided to move to another province to find work. Javier with his little brother had to stay to live with their grandfather in a small house. Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations. As our last day approached, I remember the look in Javier's eyes, as they welled up with tears when we told him we were leaving. One of the volunteers held him close, but it did little to _ him. He had already experienced so much loss, his father abandoning him, his mother leaving to find work, and it was hard to realize that our departure was adding to the list. As I looked beyond Javier, I could see the many men and women whom Javier looked up to, depended on, and gathered strength from. I did know that without parents to raise him, he was not left alone. Instead, the adults in the community took responsibility for the care of their collective young. Question: Which of the following statement is TRUE? - Javier established good relationship with the author and his team. - Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks. - Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo. - Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy.
