Read the excerpt from The Cruisers. When Mr. Culpepper, the assistant principal and chief executioner, came in, he did it with a

flourish, breathing through his nose and looking like a cross between a really mad Santa Claus and a swishy dragon. "Well, what are we to say this morning?” he asked, looking over his rimless glasses. "Or have the grades said enough? Hmmm?” No response. "We have noted two trends among this small group of miscreants,” Mr. Culpepper went on. "The first is that none of you are living up to your potential. And yes, we do know your individual abilities because you have all tested very well on the IQ tests. What I strongly suspect is that you just don’t care enough about education or about Da Vinci Academy for the Gifted and Talented. I’m wondering if you are really Da Vinci material.” What conclusion can be made about Mr. Culpepper based on the character’s dialogue?
A. Mr. Culpepper has disdain for his students and does not respect them.
B. Mr. Culpepper is trying to create a supportive environment for his students.
C. Mr. Culpepper does not know his students and does not try to know them.
D. Mr. Culpepper wants to help his students but does not know how to do it.

I believe its A. Because the definition of "disdain" means not worthy. And he talks about how he is not sure they are da vinci material. He does not know for sure if they are worthy.

What made Gary Paulsen’s Remington, single-shot .22 rifle so special to him?
anzhelika [568]

Paulsen spent most of his life in the wilderness of Minnesota, Alaska, and Canada, hunting since the age of 12. His first gun was a Remington single-shot bolt action .22 rifle. It meant he could aim carefully, because it took a long time to reload. As Paulsen’s family was poor, he had to hunt for food.
