Part A In the article “Caring for Vets Should Be National Duty,” what inference can be made regarding the healthcare services provided by the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs?

They are comparable to healthcare options civilian enjoy.

They are superior to healthcare options for active duty military personnel.

They are provided by unqualified medical professionals.

They are often difficult to access and need improvement.

Question 2
Which evidence best supports the answer in Part A?

Select the two correct answers.

"Announced on Sept. 11—an appropriate date—the arrangement sets aside more than $200 billion to improve the health care services provided by the U. S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs."

“Our wounded veterans deserve not only exemplary health care, but all the tools they need to re-assimilate into civilian life despite missing limbs or shattered psyches.”

"Tales of delays and deficiencies, including long waits and poor access to proper care, have plagued the VA since injured vets started returning from Afghanistan and Iraq following 9/11."

"Last fall—16 years after the War on Terror began—the VA was still flooded with serious complaints about patient care; earlier this year, concerns about doctor shortages made headlines."

3one of the biggest impacts a building has on earth is the energy it uses. currently, most of the world’s energy comes from burning fossil fuels. these fuels are dirty and when they are burned they pollute the air and water. one way to burn fewer fossil fuels is to reduce the amount of electricity a building has to use. passive solar heating, which uses heat from the sun, reduces the amount of fossil fuel used to heat buildings. passive solar heating requires a south-facing wall made of glass. when sunlight shines through the wall, it is collected and used to warm the building. another way green buildings reduce their electricity use is to install other energy sources. for example, some green buildings use panels that turn energy from the sun into useable electricity. which is the best summary of paragraph 3? a) fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water. most of the world's energy comes from these fuels. b) the biggest problem of buildings is that they use fuel that is dirty for heating. they need to do something to be more energy efficient. c) panels that turn energy from the sun into electricity and passive solar heating can stop the burning of fossil fuels which pollute air and water. d) since fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water, other technologies that pollute less and produce energy have been developed like solar energy and green buildings.
