Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select H leads for finer lines. Use B leads for darker marks. Select F lead for medium-grade lines.

Answer: H-grade leads are the hardest leads. Ironic as it sounds, these leads do produce finer lines. They're not as easy to sharpen, but the crispness of the lead's edges lasts longer than softer leads. For the lightest quality, opt for 9H. If you prefer darker marks from a soft lead, use H. B-grade leads are the softest leads. Choose this variety if you want to sharpen the lead more quickly and easily. The down side is that they lose their crisp edges more quickly. Use 9B for the darkest quality lines and B for the lightest. If you're drawing, you might outline with a harder lead, then darken and shade with a softer lead. F (#2 ½) is right in the middle of the hardness and darkness scale with the #2 lead. Like #2, it sharpens to a fine point. Its line quality is only slightly lighter and harder. While this lead is safe for drawing and general writing, it's not recommended for standardized tests. Not all test readers will give accurate results for even a slight variation from #2.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Be sincere. Be grateful. Use the right body language.

Answer: The most important part of saying thank you in person is being sincere. The person you are thanking should understand that you mean what you say 100% and that you aren't just saying "thank you" out of obligation when you don't really mean it. Here's how to do it:  Have a sincere tone of voice. Don't say "thank you" as if it's an afterthought or as if someone else just told you to do it. Speak clearly with an even tone, and show that you really mean every word you say. Don't mumble. Use sincere words. Be specific and show that your thank you means something. Don't just say, "Thanks," but really mean it say, "Thank you so much for helping me with my homework. I never could have figured this out without your help." Be honest. Being honest is a part of being sincere, so open up and say what you really mean. Tell the person, "I don't know what I would do without you," if you really mean it. To say thank you in person, you have to show that you are truly grateful for what the person has done. You should say that the person has impacted you in some way, whether it's big or small. Your thank you should not be perfunctory, but it should show that the person's action really made a difference. Here's how to explain how grateful you are:  Be specific. Don't just say, "Thank you," but say, "Thank you for taking the time to help me pick out a prom dress. I wouldn't have been able to do it alone. If it wasn't for you, I never would have even tried on that blue dress, and now I can't imagine my prom without it." Show that you understood the person made a sacrifice. Whether the person made a big or small sacrifice to do something nice for you, you should demonstrate that you appreciate that he or she had time to make the effort. Say, "Thank you so much for letting me crash at your place last week. I know it was a really busy time for you and it wasn't easy to have a house guest, and I really appreciate that you took me in anyway." Show that you're grateful for the results of the person's help. If the person gave you an amazing book for your birthday, you can tell the person that you read the book, loved it, and that it had a big impact on your life. Maintaining the right body language will help you fully demonstrate how thankful you are. If your body doesn't communicate how much you mean it when you say thank you, then your words may be lost on the person you're thanking. Here's how to have the right body language:  Maintain eye contact while you're thanking the person. Look into the person's eyes and give the person all of your attention to show that you really care about what the person did. Face your body toward the person you're thanking. Keep your arms open and gesture if you need to. Don't fold your arms at your sides, or you may look like you're reluctant about thanking the person and like you don't really want to be there. Touch the person if it's appropriate. While you don't want to scare off a person whom you don't know very well with your unwarranted touches, if you're thanking a friend or a family member, a light touch on his or her arm or shoulder, or even a hug if it feels right, can help communicate your true feelings. Show your emotions. If the person impacted your life in a big way, you don't have to cry, but let your face show how touched you are by that person's help.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Select a small drill bit. Drill at least 6 holes in the plastic you want to remove or cut through. Cut from one hole to the next.

Answer: It’s often tough to cut directly through thick plastic, even with a saw or a sharp knife. If you drill out a series of small holes in the plastic you’re planning to remove, you’ll have an easier time cutting the plastic. To do this, you’ll need a power drill and a small drill bit. Choose a drill bit that’s no larger than 1⁄8 inch (0.32 cm) in diameter. If you don’t have an electric power drill and drill bits of varying sizes, you can purchase them at a local hardware store. Use the small drill bit to drill 6–10 holes in the section of plastic you’re trying to cut through or remove. Make these holes as close to one another as possible. This will weaken the structure of the plastic.  This method will be most effective if you’re doing detailed cutting—for example, on a hobby miniature. If you’d like to cut through very large sections of plastic, you can do so by drilling small holes throughout its surface. This method could even work when cutting heavy PVC pipe. The process will be painstaking and time consuming, but it will allow you to cut precisely. Use a hobby knife and cut through the plastic that remains between the holes that you’ve drilled. It may still be tough to cut through the thick plastic. Since you’ll have removed a lot of the connecting material, though, the plastic you’re cutting will be weak and already partially removed. Utility knives are also often called hobby knives. They can be purchased at any craft or hobby-supply store.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Melt your butter in a microwavable glass dish. Mix the corns, sour cream, corn muffin mixes, butter, and salt in a large bowl. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spoon the casserole mix into the dish. Bake for 45-60 minutes. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top before serving.

Answer:
Liquefy the butter with short, 30 second intervals. The butter does not need to be hot, just completely melted. Using a whisk or spatula, blend all of the ingredients together so that they are combined with no chunks of muffin mix or sour cream. If you want to add spices like garlic powder, black pepper, or hot sauce, add them now. Using cooking spray or a small pat of butter, grease an oven-safe dish so that the casserole does not stick when you serve it. You can use a paper towel to evenly spread a light coating of butter across the dish. Once all of the mixture is in the bowl, use a rubber spatula or spoon to evenly distribute it across the pan. The top should be relatively flat. When done, the casserole will be a light golden brown on top. If you prefer a heartier, drier casserole than you can leave it in the oven for closer to an hour. You can also add the cheese as the casserole finishes cooking -- just apply the cheese to the top of the casserole 5 minutes before you plan on taking it out of the oven.
