Read the text and answer the question.
Schools often adopt digital platforms quickly because purchase cycles reward novelty and visibility. Login rates and dashboard activity are paraded as evidence of impact, even when teachers report that the dashboards narrow what counts as learning. A teacher who resists a mandated platform is frequently labeled a laggard. Yet hesitation can be prudent: when pacing is dictated by a metric, attention may shift from understanding to what the metric can capture. The argument here is not to reject technology. It is to renegotiate control—who sets the goals, which data matter, and what should remain off the record. Only then can professional judgment act as a productive constraint, preventing means from swallowing ends.
Which statement best captures the author’s central claim?

Reading is not only about recognizing words — it’s
about understanding, questioning, and connecting ideas. Strategic readers use different techniques
to make sense of what they read. Before reading, they
look at titles, subtitles, and pictures to predict what
the text might be about. This helps them activate
their background knowledge and prepare for new
information.
While reading, good readers identify key words, take
notes, and make inferences — that is, they read
between the lines. They also stop to check if they really
understand the text, and they don’t hesitate to reread a
paragraph if something isn’t clear. Scanning and skimming are two important strategies: “scanning” is used
to find specific information, like dates or names, and
“skimming” is reading quickly to get the general idea.
After reading, strategic readers summarize the main
ideas and reflect on what they have learned. They
may also discuss the text with others, compare it with
different opinions, or relate it to real-life experiences.
In this way, reading becomes more meaningful and
enjoyable. Being a strategic reader means being an
active thinker who learns from every text.

Arjun had always felt most comfortable behind the
scenes, quietly working as a stagehand at the town’s
community theater. One day, when the lead actor
suddenly fell ill hours before the premiere of the
much-anticipated play, panic gripped the cast and
crew. The director, in desperation, turned to Arjun and
asked him to step in.
Although reluctant, Arjun agreed. He spent every
spare moment backstage absorbing the script and
mimicking the lead actor’s delivery. When the curtains
finally rose, Arjun’s heart pounded as he stepped into
the spotlight. His voice trembled at first, but as the
story unfolded, something remarkable happened.
He connected with the character and felt a surge of
confidence.
By the end of the play, Arjun had not only delivered
a stellar performance but also received a standing
ovation. For years, he had believed that his place
was behind the scenes. But that night, Arjun realized
that true potential is often discovered in moments
of adversity. The experience left him wondering how
many hidden talents lie dormant simply because of
fear or hesitation.

New Study: This Regional Accent Is Considered
the Most Trustworthy in the U.S.—And the
Results Will Really Surprise You!
By Jennifer Geddes
A person’s cadence counts for a lot.
Everyone knows first impressions are important—
and we don’t just make them based on sight. Beyond
a chic outfit and well-coiffed hair, how a person
sounds can also be a big factor when forming an
initial opinion. In fact, a recent analysis of more than a
dozen American accents conducted by BetUS Casino
found that some folks’ speech actually conveys more
honesty and reliability than others’.
At this point, you’re probably praying your own voice
sounds dependable, not shifty or shady, right? Try to
relax, and then read on to learn (nay, hear!) where
the most trustworthy accents are located.
How was the study conducted?
As with many studies today, internet data helped
determine which parts of the country sound the most
steadfast and true. BetUS Casino crafted the report,
which is current as of Aug. 15, 2025, by focusing on
how people feel about 14 different regional accents.
How did the company determine those feelings?
First, researchers looked at internet search terms like
“friendly (accent)” or “professional (accent).” Then,
to complete the rankings, they compiled data on the
rate of financial crimes per 10,000 people, plus the
number of lawyers and primary-care doctors in each
area.
Why doctors and lawyers, you may ask? Well, these
are professions that rely on trust—after all, you might
have to put your life in their hands! The more of these
professionals in an area, the more trustworthy the
accent. Once the study authors had the information
in hand, they weighted the data and ranked the
regions on a scale of 1–100.
Which regional accent is considered the most
trustworthy?
Now hear this: The regional accent that’s considered
to be the most trustworthy hails from Boston!
Yup, the fine citizens of Beantown scored 56.1, which
was enough to take top honors for sounding highly
dependable. Boston ranks so strongly thanks to
more than 23,300 searches related to how kind and
upstanding the accent sounds. The Massachusetts
capital and largest city in New England also sports
a low level of financial crime and is home to tens of
thousands of lawyers and doctors.
Boston shines in other ways too, underlining the trust
factor essential to its distinctive accent. For example,
one recent WalletHub report list Boston as the third
most caring city in the nation, while another names
Massachusetts as the best U.S. state to live in. And
the Bay State has excellent health care, with the
highest childhood vaccination rates, lowest infant
mortality and fewest premature avoidable deaths.
Want to sound just like a Bostonian? Start by
dropping some of your R’s, as in “pahk the cah” and
“wicked smaht.” Or listen to Ben Affleck turn on the
telltale accent in his Dunkin’ commercials. Other
famous Bostonians with perfect inflection include
Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Amy Poehler.

Jadarite, described as ‘Earth's kryptonite twin,’ has potential to
replace fossil fuels
A plain-white mineral found in western Serbia has a name straight
out of the comics and a chemical profile that battery makers crave.
Called jadarite, also known as sodium-lithium- boron silicate
hydroxide, was first pulled from drill cores in 2004 and officially
recognized as a new mineral two years later.
Geologists soon noticed that the formula on the sample label
matched the faux “kryptonite” shown in a 2006 Superman film,
minus the fluorine and the green glow. That pop-culture twist
helped the discovery grab headlines, yet the real excitement lies in
what the mineral could do for electric vehicles and renewable
power storage.
Jadarite occurs as dull, chalky nodules tucked inside fine-grained
shale in the Jadar Valley. The host rocks formed in an ancient lake
basin rich in volcanic ash, allowing lithium and boron to build up in
the pore waters until the mineral crystallized. Those conditions
have been found only in Serbia so far, making the deposit both
unique and strategically valuable.
Michael Page, a process chemist at Australia’s Nuclear Science and
Technology Organisation (ANSTO), points out that the valley “is
considered one of the largest lithium deposits in the world, making
it a potential game-changer for the global green energy
transition.” […]
Serbian communities are not unanimous in welcoming the mine.
Environmental groups warn that alkali-rich tailings could leak into
the Jadar River and harm local agriculture. Independent studies
have found elevated boron and lithium downstream of exploratory
boreholes, fueling weekly protests in Belgrade.
Supporters counter that rigorous water-management plans and
sealed tailings cells can limit impacts, and that the economic gains,
including thousands of skilled jobs, are hard to ignore. European
automakers also see the project as a chance to shorten supply
chains now dominated by South American brines and Chinese
refiners.
Whether or not the Jadar project reaches full production, the
mineral has already altered the critical-minerals map. Its existence
proves that lithium can concentrate outside traditional pegmatites
and brines, broadening the hunt to basins once dismissed as
uneconomic clay.
Researchers are now experimenting with synthetic pathways,
seeding gels of silica, borate, and lithium under lake-like conditions
to see if jadarite can be grown on demand. Success could pave the
way for engineered deposits that bypass mining altogether. For
now, though, nature’s one known batch in western Serbia remains
the focus of intense scientific, industrial, and public scrutiny.
Adapted from https://www.earth.com/news/jadarite-described-as-earthskryptonite-twin-has-potential-to-replace-fossil-fuels/
Based on the last paragraph, analyse the assertions below:
I. Scientific experimentation might do away with the need for mining.
II. Currently, interest in jadarite deposits seems to be waning.
III. It is highly unlikely that the deposits found in Serbia will reshape the future of energy.
Choose the correct answer.
