Read this entry from a blog about service dogs.

Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is sleeping quietly at my feet. I can’t help but think that her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make her the perfect “doggie model” for pet magazines and pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much more important job to do. In a few months, she will become the loyal companion and service dog for a young man who has been blind since birth. She will help him board public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has undergone months of specialized training to help a visually impaired person lead an active and independent life.

What is the secondary purpose of this blog?

to inform readers about seeing-eye dogs
to entertain readers with details about Lexie
to persuade readers to train service dogs
to convince readers to adopt Labrador retrievers

Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by
Dean Kamen.
Which fact from the excerpt best supports Kamen's
opinion that his projects were neat?
From this well-stocked basement came a whole new
set of really neat projects. My younger brother, Mitch,
and his friends, as well as some of my own friends,
would come after school to help. At sixteen I was now a
young entrepreneur, paying them for their help. I was
surprised by the number of orders I was getting for
more and more equipment. Soon I didn't have time to
build and design new things. Giving over this work to
other kids gave me more time to do what I wanted to
do. This went on after school and all summer long.
