When the American Civil War started, soldiers poured into the city. Barton saw that many of them were wounded and hungry. Bandages, medicine and food were&nbsp;<strong>scarce<\/strong>, but Barton searched the whole city to find what the soldiers needed. She visited the soldiers, read to them and wrote letters for those who couldn&#8217;t write. She even went out during battles to assist doctors caring for the wounded. After the war, in 1881, Clara Barton helped establish the American Red Cross. Today the Red Cross helps thousands of people after serious events such as fires and floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size wp-elements-63d7dea451adf7ace622d0f546ec4424\" style=\"color:#d90000\">What is the meaning of&nbsp;<strong>scarce<\/strong>&nbsp;as used in the passage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-normal-font-size\">\n<li>not allowed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>small in number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>very cheap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>found everywhere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-background-color has-background has-normal-font-size\">As used in the passage, <strong>scarce <\/strong>means small in number.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background has-normal-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#beadf1\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Read the passage and then answer the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1910, two groups of explorers landed on the coast of Antarctica. Both groups had the same goal: to be the first to reach the South Pole. The men set up camps to wait for warm weather to arrive. When spring began, each group started across the icy mountains towards the pole. Roald Amundsen led one party, using dogsleds to carry supplies over the ice. In the other party, led by Robert Falcon Scott, the men pulled their own sleds. Amundsen&#8217;s group arrived at the South Pole first. The date was 14 December 1911.

This park protected and preserved more than eight hundred thousand hectares of&nbsp;<strong>pristine<\/strong>&nbsp;wilderness. Many people had worked to make this happen. One of the most important of these was an artist named Thomas Moran. In 1871, Moran travelled with a group of scientists and mapmakers exploring the Yellowstone area. Moran returned to Washington, DC. with beautiful paintings of Yellowstone&#8217;s waterfalls, mountains and hot springs. People in the government had been planning to sell Yellowstone. But after seeing Moran&#8217;s paintings, Congress instead set it aside as a park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><div class = \"hdq_quiz_wrapper\"><a href = \"https:\/\/4thclass.deltapublications.in\/index.php\/e-bb-3-use-context-to-identify-the-meaning-of-a-word\/\" rel=\"noamphtml\" class = \"hdq_quiz_start hdq_button button\" role = \"button\" title = \"QUIZ START\">QUIZ START<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-37856ffd343f67aaa1d5e2be84334e6c\" style=\"color:#d90000\">Read the passage and then answer the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">On New Year&#8217;s Eve, it&#8217;s a tradition in Spain to eat twelve grapes at midnight.

When the first bell rings, chew and swallow one grape. When the second rings, eat another. You must keep up with the chimes, swallowing the last grape with the twelfth bell. Eating all twelve grapes requires perfect timing and&nbsp;<strong>dexterity<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re not fast enough, you&#8217;ll have a mouthful of half-chewed grapes at midnight.
