Reаd the fоllоwing selectiоn аnd choose the best аnswer to the question that follows. Cultures differ in the overall amount of touching they prefer. People from high-contact cultures such as those in the Middle East, Latin America, and southern Europe touch each other in social conversations much more than do people from noncontact cultures such as Asia and northern Europe. These cultural differences can lead to difficulties in intercultural communication. Germans, Scandinavians, and Japanese, for example, may be perceived as cold and aloof by Brazilians and Italians, who in turn may be regarded as aggressive, pushy, and overly familiar by northern Europeans. Cultures also differ in where people can be touched. In Thailand and Malaysia, for instance, the head should not be touched because it is considered to be sacred and the locus of a person's spiritual and intellectual powers. In the United States, the head is far more likely to be touched. Cultures vary in their expectations about who touches whom. In Japan, for instance, there are deeply held feelings against the touch of a stranger. These expectations are culture-specific, and even cultures that exist near one another can have very different norms. Among the Chinese, for instance, shaking hands among people of the opposite sex is perfectly acceptable; among many Malay, it is not. Indeed, for those who practice the Muslim religion, casual touching between members of the opposite sex is strictly forbidden. However, this social taboo refers only to opposite-sex touching; it is perfectly acceptable for two women to hold hands or for men to walk arm in arm. In contrast, many European Americans react negatively to same-sex touching but do not mind opposite-sex touching. Finally, cultures differ in the settings or occasions in which touch is acceptable. Business meetings, street conversations, and household settings all evoke different norms for what is considered appropriate. Cultures make distinctions between those settings that they regard as public and those considered private. Although some cultures regard touching between men and women as perfectly acceptable in public conversations, others think that such activities should occur only in the privacy of the home. —adapted from Lustig and Koester, Intercultural Competence, pp. 211-212A summary of this selection would include all of the following statements except

Reаd the fоllоwing pаrаgraph and answer the questiоn that follows. Oral language is the foundation of learning to read and write. Speaking and listening skills learned in the preschool years are crucial to future reading and writing achievement and school success. Children who do not develop strong oral language skills during this time find it difficult to keep pace with their peers in later years and start to fall behind even before they start school. In the preschool years all children need to learn to use language frequently and with variety. They need to learn how to carry on a good conversation with adults and peers. From age 3 onward, they should build a vocabulary store of at least 2,500 words per year. They should encounter and explore at least two to four new words each day. Finally, they need to learn how to attend and listen on purpose. – adapted from “Joining Oral Language and Early Literacy,” published by www.reading.org What is the topic?

Eаch оf the bоdy pаrаgraphs needs tо articulate, support, and develop one specific claim - a debatable idea directly related to, but smaller and more specific than, the thesis. This claim should be stated fairly early in the paragraph in a topic sentence. And every sentence in the paragraph should help prove, or elaborate on, that claim. Indeed, each paragraph ideally should build from an initial, general statement of the claim to the more complex form of it that you develop by presenting and analyzing evidence.
