Read the excerpt from "Water Flowing from Toilet to Tap May Be Hard to Swallow." As California scrambles for ways to cope with its crippling drought and the mandatory water restrictions imposed last month by Gov. Jerry Brown, an array of ideas that were long dismissed as too controversial, expensive or unpleasant are getting a second look. One is to conserve more water; another is to turn nearby and abundant sources of water, like the Pacific Ocean, into drinking water through desalination. Yet another is to recycle the water Californians have already used. And therein lies a marketing challenge that can be even greater than the technological one. Which statement best summarizes the writer’s claim?
Read the excerpt from "Dylan's Nobel Prize Settles Debate: Rock Lyrics Are Poetry." Dylan is of course enormously influential. Springsteen, who referred to him as "The Father of My Country” in his new Born To Run memoir , is one of many who were once known as "New Dylans.” Every singer-songwriter with a personal story to tell owes him a debt, and hearing the above lines read or sung aloud, with their knack for internal rhyme, call up inevitable parallels to the dense playful language of rap.

Which evidence in this paragraph supports the idea that Dylan is extremely influential? Choose three correct answers.
