MULTIPLE CHOICE: In a nutshell, the topic sentence of this paragraph:

a) gives a favorable review

b) gives a neutral reviewc) gives an unfavorable review

- Two years ago, when director Marc Webb offered his premature reboot of the

franchise, he seemed at least to understand where the previous trilogy had gone

wrong. The Amazing Spider-Manmay have been a wildly redundant enterprise,but Webbalong with his stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stoneat least re-

discovered the proper scale and focus of the subject, delivering a film imbued with

improbable charm. His sequel, alas, exhibits almost none of its predecessors

virtues. The Amazing Spider-Man 2is a lumbering mess, so overstuffed with plot

devices that it smothers even the complementing charismas of Garfield and Stone.

About the best thing one can say about this fiasco is that Webb has taken only twofilms to reach the same exhausted, exhausting endpoint that Raimi required three

to achieve. Its progress, of a sort.

TRUE or FALSE: The topic sentence of this paragraph is the

first sentence.

- Mars is no stranger to life. Seven U.S. spacecraft havesuccessfully landed there, and all of them took microbes to

the planet's surface (though the bugs probably did not survive

for long). Yet the world's space agencies continue to maintainstrict spacecraft sterilization procedures in the hope of

minimizing the spread of Earth life beyond our planet. For

decades this ethosknown as planetary protection

prevailed. Now, some scientists say, these precautions are

undermining the search for life beyond Earth by raising costs

and inhibiting innovative missionswithout meaningful

- Honda Cars Philippines has announced the voluntary safety recall of select units ofthe Jazz, the City, the Civic and the Accord sold in the country because of the front-

passenger airbag's faulty inflation device. Covering 1,760 units in the Philippinesand an estimated 2.1 million Honda vehicles worldwide, this notice is part of a

global recall of vehicles following a Honda Motor Company report involving faulty

front-passenger airbags. According to the press statement, "the report traces the

cause of the faulty airbags to the automatic rejection system machine's failure to

detect defective airbag inflators containing low-density propellants." Subsequently,

the defective airbag inflation devices from the supplier were inadvertently

installed during the assembly of the affected vehicles. Thus, upon airbag

deployment, the pressure increases excessively and might cause the inflator case

to rupture
