The document describes the Test of Reading Comprehension (TORC-3), which measures reading comprehension abilities in students ages 7-17. It aims to identify students struggling with reading, determine strengths/weaknesses, and measure progress from interventions. The TORC-3 consists of several subtests measuring vocabulary, syntax, paragraph comprehension, sentence ordering, and direction following. It provides scores in raw points, grade/age equivalents, percentiles, and standard scores to evaluate a student's reading level compared to peers. Consistency across subtests or weaknesses in specific areas can indicate needs. The TORC-3 was updated from previous versions to address criticisms around its normative sample.
The passage provides information about sea anemones:
- Sea anemones resemble flowers more than animals, with a cylindrical body and colorful tentacles. Their size ranges from a few millimeters to over 90 centimeters.
- They are coelenterates that can move slowly but often attach to surfaces. Their tentacles contain stinging cells that paralyze prey, which is then dragged into their mouth and digested.
- When disturbed, sea anemones retract their tentacles and shorten their body. They can reproduce through eggs, dividing in half, or developing buds that break off.

The passage discusses the development of early roads and transportation in the United States during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It notes that roads were initially few and short, with most commerce occurring by ship. In the 1790s, states began chartering private companies to build toll roads since they lacked funds for public road construction. The first such road was the Lancaster Turnpike in Pennsylvania. By 1810, over 1,500 miles of turnpikes had been built in New York alone, facilitating freight and passenger transportation via Conestoga wagons and stagecoaches.
