1. If Freda needs the most recent information about NASA space launches, it would be best for her to check

Explanation

If Freda needs the most recent information about NASA space launches, it would be best for her to check NASA's Web site. This is because the website is likely to be updated regularly with the latest news and information about space launches. Magazine articles and books may not have the most up-to-date information, and a DVD would provide limited information compared to the extensive content available on NASA's website. Therefore, the website is the most reliable and efficient source for Freda to access the most recent information about NASA space launches.

10. Brian slowly put the note on the refrigerator. He had written it to his mom telling her he would be at his friend Mario’s house for the afternoon. Brian wasn’t sure he could be of any help to Mario and his little sister Aisha as they tried to fly the remote control airplane. “Mario has such neat stuff to mess around with,” Brian thought, “and I sure don’t want to be the one to break another one of their cool things.” By the time Brian had spent some time at Mario's house, he had a little experience working the controls. Soon he could make the airplane fly anywhere he wanted and even do loops in the air. Aisha and Mario treated him as though he’d been flying remotes for years. Which answer choice would be best to conclude this narrative?

Explanation

The correct answer is "He felt his old confidence return!" This conclusion best fits the narrative because it reflects Brian's personal growth and development throughout the story. At first, Brian was unsure of his abilities and afraid of breaking Mario's things. However, after spending time at Mario's house and gaining experience with the remote control airplane, Brian's confidence grew and he became skilled at flying it. The phrase "He felt his old confidence return!" captures this transformation and serves as a satisfying conclusion to the narrative.
