Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: About 12 years ago, I began making a series of dolls called "Wee Mountain Folk." At first, I made them from cloth but then began using a kind of polymer clay called cernit. The cloth dolls were beautiful, but it was impossible to get the level of detail I can get with clay. First, I use wire to build the shape of the doll. Then I cover the head, hands, and feet around the wire using the cernit. Then I make the doll's clothes myself, using lots of different materials. The completed dolls are fixed onto hardwood bases made by my father, Jim Logan. Generally, the dolls I make show older people taking part in traditional activities. I've always had a great respect for the older generation. Inspiration for the dolls often comes from people I know. Once I was caught looking too closely at the wrinkles on the face of one of my mom's friends. But I explained that her laugh lines made her more attractive. Now I work as a teacher's assistant, and while I was raising my two daughters, Keri and Sheryl, I could work on the dolls only late in the day. The girls loved to come downstairs the next morning to see who'd arrived in the night. It's the detail that I enjoy working on the most. I once made a fisherman doll for a lady to give her father, including a tiny creel -- a basket used by fishermen for carrying fish. When the man got the doll, he immediately opened the creel to see what was inside. Luckily, I'd made a small fish out of cernit and placed it in the basket. Hopefully my story will inspire others to try their hand at doll making -- I find it very relaxing and interesting. Question: The dolls called "Wee Mountain Folk" were _ . - totally hand made - mainly made of cloth - usually small kids - often designed by the author's father
totally hand made

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: We're trying to decide where to go on our vacation this summer. We usually go to Lake Arrowheads for a few weeks, but we'd like to go somewhere else this year. We're tired of doing the same thing summer after summer. Some friends of ours suggested us go to Hawaii. That would be wonderful. I' m sure we would enjoy a trip like that, but of course it's impossible. First, it would be rather expensive, and second, there would not be enough time. If we're lucky enough to save some money between now and next summer, and if I'm lucky enough to get four weeks of vacation instead of two weeks, maybe we can go to Hawaii next year. In fact, if we wanted to plan a trip like that, it would be good to stay home and not to go to any place. That's one way we could begin to save some money for next year's trip. Also, if we were to stay here, I would like to work instead of taking two weeks off: then maybe my boss would suggest that I should be given four weeks' vacation instead of two weeks. Question: The writer _ to spend his summer vacation this year - is going to Hawaii - will go to Lake Arrowhead - has decided to go somewhere - hasn't decided where to go
