Reading Comprehension (40%) Directions: Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET.

And no doubt there are still people who think we pay too many taxes. But the people of Braintree, Massachusetts, might be thinking differently. Braintree has a problem.

But even if they did get the attention, not much could be done because there wasn’t enough money in the town’s kitty to pay for needed repairs. But, as my mother would say, one can only ignore the elephant in the living room for so long. And now it’s time to pay up. The school department wants $100 million to fix the schools. Million
