Grade 5 English Language Arts-Part 2 6. In the Answer Document, select two sentences that compare the perspectives presented in the passages. A. The passages present differing views on how mountain bikes impact trails. B. The passages present similar views on the purpose for visiting wilderness trails. C. The passages present similar views on the importance of protecting the wilderness. D. The passages present similar views on the safety risks presented by mountain bikes on trails. E. The passages present differing views on how desirable the trails would be for mountain bikers.

To determine which two sentences compare the perspectives presented in the passages, we need to analyze the options based on the likely content of the passages regarding mountain bikes and wilderness trails. 1. **Option A**: "The passages present differing views on how mountain bikes impact trails." - This suggests that one passage may argue that mountain bikes have a negative impact on trails, while the other may argue they have a positive impact. 2. **Option B**: "The passages present similar views on the purpose for visiting wilderness trails." - This indicates that both passages agree on why people visit these trails, which may not directly relate to the mountain biking aspect. 3. **Option C**: "The passages present similar views on the importance of protecting the wilderness." - This suggests a shared perspective on wilderness protection, which may not focus specifically on mountain biking. 4. **Option D**: "The passages present similar views on the safety risks presented by mountain bikes on trails." - This implies that both passages agree on the safety risks associated with mountain biking, which could be a specific aspect of the discussion. 5. **Option E**: "The passages present differing views on how desirable the trails would be for mountain bikers." - This suggests that one passage may view the trails as desirable for mountain bikers, while the other may not. Based on the analysis, the sentences that compare the perspectives presented in the passages are likely: - **A**: The passages present differing views on how mountain bikes impact trails. - **E**: The passages present differing views on how desirable the trails would be for mountain bikers. These options highlight contrasting perspectives, which is essential for comparing viewpoints.
