The following excerpt comes from page 44 of John de Graaf's article "Finding Time for Our Parks" in Earth Island Journal. bne important step toward increasing the time both children and adults spend in wild nature - and thereby the chance that they will continue to advocate for our national parks and wildlands - is extending Americans' vacation time. We now have the shortest vacations in the industrial world and are among only a handful of countries - the others are all small and very poor - that do not require any paid vacation time for workers. The median American vacation of about a week - and even the average of two weeks - does not provide enough time for serious immersion in natural rhythms. And more than a quarter of American workers - most very low- paid - have no paid vacation days at all. By contrast, Europeans get a minimum of four weeks of paid vacation time and numerous other holidays. Which of the following examples correctly integrates a direct quotation from that passage?

The following excerpt comes from page 96 of Brian Fagan's book The Little Ice Age: 2 How Climate Made History 1300-1850: The Roanoke colonists were last seen by their British compatriots on August 22, 1587, at the height of the driest growing season in eight hundred years. Even as their compatriots departed, the colony's Native American neighbors were concerned about the poor condition of their crops. The drought persisted for two more years and created a serious food crisis both for the local Croatan people and the colonists. Since the latter were heavily dependent on the Croatan, this very dependence must have aggravated already serious food shortages. Many historians have criticized the Roanoke colony for poor planning and for a seeming indifference to how they were going to feed themselves in the face of apparent disinterest from England. But even the best planned colony would have been challenged by the 1587-89 drought. Which of the following examples correctly integrates a direct quotation from that passage?
