Current Events Practice Quiz

1. The largest contribution the UT drive received was that of 75 million by James Mulva and his wife Miriam.
2. The new minimum wage that Obama would like to see in place in the coming year is $10.10.
3. The political cartoon on A9 is a reference to the goals of the terrorist organization ISIS. I think the author is trying to get across the point that ISIS only wants to kill people, despite what they have been saying.
4. 3 people were killed in wrecks over the weekend.
5. David Ash has a head injury, and doctors recommend he don’t ever play again.
6. Hyperlase video is new app where you can make a unclear shaky video smoother and easier to see.

Free Response:
An obituary starts with a heading. The heading includes the name of the person who has passed away, a photo, and any other information that may describe the person (such as a rank in the army). Then come a few sentences about the general things about the person like where they were born and who they were married to, as well as when they died. Following that is a lengthy paragraph summarizing their life like different jobs they had and things that really impacted their life. This area also contains other awards they earned in their life. Concluding each obituary is information about funerals and visitation and such. I think that writing one of these would be somewhat saddening and stressful because you want to commemorate the person which would be a big task to do.
