Read the excerpt from Outcasts United . Jeremiah made the team. But when Beatrice Ziaty found out her son was sneaking off to play soccer with strangers after school, she became angry. "You're too small," Beatrice scolded him. "Don't go out of the house!" Jeremiah started to cry. He begged his mother to let him play, but Beatrice wasn’t going to let anything bad happen to her son. And she certainly wasn't going to be defied—not after all she'd done to get the family here. Inside, though, Beatrice was torn. She knew an eight-year-old boy needed to run. She knew it wasn't fair to keep him confined to a small apartment all the time. "You say you have a coach," she finally said to Jeremiah. "Why you can't bring the coach to me to see?" "Momma," he said, "I will bring her." What is the effect of telling the events of this excerpt in the order in which they happen?
Read the excerpt from Outcasts United . Somehow, Luma would have to find a way to get all these kids to play as a unit. "It was about trying to figure out what they have in common," she said. While Luma was trying to find a way to get the kids to play together, she was also getting to know their parents, most of whom were single mothers. She quickly discovered that these women needed help—mostly in understanding paperwork. With her Arabic and French, Luma was able to translate documents and answer some of their questions. She made appointments with doctors and social workers. Luma gave her cell phone number to her players and their families, and soon they were calling with requests for help. Teachers learned to call Luma when her players' parents couldn't be found or were at work. The families showed their gratitude by offering Luma tea and inviting her to dinner. Luma felt needed, and couldn't help but notice how much better this kind of work felt than running Ashton's. Based on Luma’s actions, which statement best describes the theme in this excerpt?
Read the excerpt from Outcasts United . Luma picked up on another problem facing her young players. Many had come from places that had been destroyed by war, so they had never had access to any kind of formal education. Often refugee children were unable to read or do even the simplest math. Without a basic education in their own language, they were playing catch-up in schools where classes were taught in a new language, one many of the boys could barely understand. While the public school system around Clarkston offered English-as-a-second-language programs, the schools were overwhelmed with newcomers. Determine the themes of this excerpt. Select the correct answer in each row.
Read the excerpt from Outcasts United . The conversation with Jeremiah settled Luma's mind on the question of Ashton's: it was time for her to admit her failure and walk away. But while the failure of Ashton's hurt Luma's ego, it was also an opportunity to focus her life on more important things. She wanted to start a business that could employ women like Beatrice, paying them fairly without making them commute halfway across Atlanta by bus or train. Luma’s decision to walk away from Ashton’s supports the theme
Read the excerpt from Outcasts United . "She's a girl," he said. "She doesn't know what she's talking about." Luma ordered him to stand in goal. She took off her shoes as the boy waited beneath the crossbar, rocking back and forth and growing more anxious by the moment. She asked for a ball, which she placed on the grass. Then, barefoot, as the team looked on, she blasted a shot directly at the boy, who dove out of the way as the ball rocketed into the net. Luma turned toward her team. "Anybody else?" she asked. Based on Luma’s actions, which statement best describes the theme in this excerpt?
