ARTICLE #2 “Subway Manager Disgusted By Sight Of Cold Cut Combo Devouring Large Rat” UNION CITY, NJ—Saying the disturbing incident him sick to his stomach, Subway shift manager Dean Haney told reporters Wednesday he was completely disgusted after seeing a Cold Cut Combo devour a large rat in the alley behind the restaurant. “I went to take out the trash, and I saw this nasty-looking thing just feasting on a full-grown rat,” said Haney, estimating the size of the sandwich as “at least six inches,” and describing it as mangy, vicious, and dripping with Italian dressing. “It completely tore the rat apart before wolfing the whole mess down—I honestly almost puked. The worst part is, if you see one of these things out there, you know there are probably hundreds more around somewhere.” Haney noted that after it finished consuming the rat, the revolting and likely disease-ridden Cold Cut Combo scuttled under a dumpster and into a crevice in the wall, presumably returning to its fetid nest. 1.

[COMMENTARY #1]For example, seventh graders must learn how to move to different classes. As a result, they never seem to know where they are going, causing them to appear very crazy. [CONCRETE DETAIL #2 FROM SOURCE] On his most recent episode of “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” chef Guy Fieri observed, “They also struggle with the difficult skill of locker organization” (Fieri 2016). [COMMENTARY #2] They used to have their elementary school teacher tell them what materials to take out. Now,they must remember on their own what is needed for each class. This causes them either to carry everything with them all the time, or just keep stuffing everything into their lockers until the
