    Note the paired selection technique use from the STAAR January Benchmark.
    
27. 
    Both selections are about remarkable men. Ram Dass’s piece celebrates a world-class eye surgeon in India through the writer’s experience as a hospital volunteer where he witnessed firsthand Dr. V “keeping an eye on the staff, insisting on their impeccability of service” so that they can “perform over 300 surgeries a day… of curable blindness.” Blind since age four, Robert Allman presents a personal narrative about inventing “a successful variation of baseball… called groundball” and numerous athletic accolades. He admits that “courage is nothing more than doing your best.” Even though both selections showcase personal accomplishment, Dass’s tone is observational and Allman’s is introspective. (104 words)
    

• 
  (Which questions were cut and pasted together for this response???)
  

28. 
    
    
29. 
    Note the single selection technique used from the STAAR January Benchmark
    
30. 
    The speaker’s attitude toward the fox is that of envy and curiosity: “While I washed our dishes he woke again, yawned and ran quickly to places only foxes know. My God I was tired of being a person.” The speaker reminds me of being stuck at home babysitting your freshmen year when all you yearn to do is cruise the mysterious haunts that only the cool upperclassman seem to have the freedom to venture.
