Read the excerpt from Sinbad the Sailor.

During the voyage we touched at several islands, where we sold or exchanged our goods. We were one day becalmed near a small island. As its appearance was inviting, we determined to dine upon it. But while we were laughing and preparing for dinner, the island began to move, and at the same moment the people in the ship called out that we were on the back of a monstrous whale. Some jumped into the boat, and others swam to the ship; but before I could get off the animal dived into the sea, and I had only time to catch hold of a piece of wood that had been brought from the ship to serve as a table.

Read this excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

She was rambling on in this way when she reached the wood: it looked very cool and shady. “Well, at any rate it's a great comfort,” she said as she stepped under the trees, “after being so hot, to get into the—into WHAT?” she went on, rather surprised at not being able to think of the word. “I mean to get under the—under the—under THIS, you know!” putting her hand on the trunk of the tree. “What DOES it call itself, I wonder? I do believe it's got no name—why, to be sure it hasn't!”

She stood silent for a minute, thinking: then she suddenly began again. “Then it really HAS happened, after all! And now, who am I? I WILL remember, if I can! I'm determined to do it!” But being determined didn't help much, and all she could say, after a great deal of puzzling, was, “L, I KNOW it begins with L!”

Which question might a reader ask to gain a better understanding of this excerpt?

Why does Alice choose to step through the looking glass?
Why does Alice forget the name of the woods and her own name?
Why does Alice want to play chess with all the others in the garden?
Why does Alice talk to the gnat about the looking-glass insects?

Excerpt from The Right Decision Lindsay Rock As the immense passenger ship embarked on the transatlantic journey, Timothy Birchall waved goodbye to his mother and sister. From his position at the rail, he could see their tear-stained faces watching him from the dock. For just a moment, he considered scrapping his plans and racing to comfort them. With the promise of starting a new life in America just two weeks away, however, he knew that he could not turn back. Timothy's uncle had moved to America a few years earlier and had become a successful merchant. The last time he had written to Timothy's family, he had mailed a ticket for a passenger ship and a request for Timothy to come to America to assist him with his business. The letter assured Timothy that within six months he would have enough money to send for his mother and sister and provide a comfortable home for them. Timothy wavered at first, unsure whether to believe the grand promises in his uncle's letters and wary of leaving his mother and sister to fend for themselves. The thought of providing a higher quality of life for them, however, prompted him to pack his belongings and board the ship. In this excerpt, the reader knows more about Timothy than his mother and his sister. However, if the author had chosen to focus on all three characters equally, the point of view of the passage would change and, therefore, possibly create a different level of suspense. What would the point of view be called if the author had focused his attention equally on the thoughts, actions, and feelings of all three of these characters?

A) first person point of view
B) second person point of view
C) third person limited point of view Eliminate
D) third person omniscient point of view

Racing to Race

Carlo stopped to rest for a minute and tried to catch his breath. He’d been running for so long that he had pains in his side and his legs were beginning to hurt. He hunched over and tried to expand his lungs, but it was like trying to suck air out of a bicycle tire. His body was too exhausted to even allow him to take a deep breath, and he started to wheeze again.

“Great,” he thought, “let me just add asthma to my expanding list of ailments. I can’t believe that I can’t even jog two miles without completely collapsing!” He finally gave in to his aching body and laid down on the grass to recuperate. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine himself running on the school track in the 1,600-meter race. He pictured himself running steadily toward the finish line, running effortlessly like a cheetah in the jungle. He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even hear Meiya approach.

“Hey sleepyhead, what are you doing napping on Sean’s lawn in the middle of the day?” Meiya asked playfully.

Carlo quickly sat up, breathing normally now and feeling a little embarrassed. “I am trying to get in shape to try out for track, but I can’t even run two miles,” he said dejectedly.

“Wait, how many months are you out of surgery? Didn’t you just finish rehab last week?” Meiya asked. “You can’t expect to run two miles the first day.”

It had been six months since Carlo’s surgery and he specifically remembered the doctor telling him he could start running after six months. But he thought about what Meiya had said and realized she had a good point. After his surgery, the doctor did say rehab would be crucial to his recovery but that it would take time for him to gain back full use of his leg. He thought about how a baby had to learn to walk before it could run. He remembered when his nephew was learning to crawl; within days it seemed like he was walking. Running didn’t come right away, Carlo remembered. He realized it was the same with his therapy. The maximum he had run in the past month was one mile on the treadmill, so he realized that Meiya was probably right. He would have to work at building up his endurance and set more realistic goals for himself. As he thought about what he had already accomplished, he started to smile and felt like a weight was being lifted off his shoulders. He realized that he had run almost a mile and a half before his body started to protest and if he kept working hard, he could get back to where he was before his accident.

“Since when did you get so smart, Dr. Meiya?” he teased. “Do you want to race to the next mailbox?”

“You’re on!” she challenged and took off running at full speed.

D. When people work together, they can accomplish more.
.....................
Question 2

Part B

Which statement best shows how the theme identified in Part A is developed in the story?


A. Carlo pictures himself winning a big race on the school track team; when he realizes that he may not be able to run, he is very discouraged and disappointed.

B. Meiya knows that she is faster than Carlo, so she does her best to encourage him and also lets him win a race between them to boost his spirits.

C. Carlo is impatient about his ability to train for track tryouts, but after his conversation with Meiya, he realizes it will take time and work to heal his injury and fully recover.

D. Carlo realizes that he may not be able to compete on the school track team but also discovers that, with time, he will still be able to participate in a sport he loves.

Original: “In today’s economy, a college education is a necessity. Yet the cost has more than doubled, making it extremely difficult for students to afford. Many are faced with years of paying off student loans, which stops them from meeting their life goals, like home or car ownership. Those purchases help the economy and create jobs.”

Which is the paraphrased version of the above text?

a
President Obama, in his speech on college affordability, discussed what he has done to make college more affordable because he claims that it is important to get a good education. Since college can be expensive, he claims that additional money has been made available for student aid, and student loan repayment has been made more lenient.
b
Given the competitive job market, President Obama points out that it is important to get a good education. However, he admits that the high cost of education can make this a challenge for many students. The knowledge that they will be paying off student loans for years to come causes many potential students concern. They are afraid that student loan debt may prevent them from being able to afford other items like cars or homes. If enough students are in debt that these types of purchases decrease, suggests Obama, the businesses that provide these products will need fewer workers and the job market will become even more difficult.

Very easy question.

"MILLIONS OF QUESTIONS ALREADY ANSWERED." Where does this come from?

The letter below contains 12 mistakes (not including the example) with
countable and uncountable nouns. Read it and correct the mistakes.​

The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 34l for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.

Which best describes the central idea of this excerpt?

Major Tallmadge created a code that substituted numbers for words during the Revolutionary War.
Major Tallmadge created a code in which “city” was “88” during the Revolutionary War.
During the Revolutionary War, Major Tallmadge gave General Washington the key to his codes.
During the Revolutionary War, Major Tallmadge gave soldiers a cipher for words not included in the code.

We’re Going to Mars!

Human exploration of Mars is no longer the stuff of science fiction. The United States could very likely send its first delegation to the red planet in 2033. If SpaceX, a private company dedicated to space travel and exploration, has any say in it, humans will reach Mars as early as 2022. As amazing as this seems, studying Mars is expensive, difficult, and dangerous. The most important three questions are as follows: Why should we do it? How are we going to get there? How much will it cost?

Studying the evolution of other planets furthers our knowledge of our universe as well as our planet.

Today, Mars is too cold and the atmosphere is too thin for life to exist on the surface. However, evidence suggests that life may have existed in bacterial form billions of years ago. The planet must have been warm enough at one point to support life. Discovering what caused the change could help scientists better understand Earth’s climate. Also, studying sediments, rocks, and soils, as well as volcanoes and meteoroid impact sites, can help scientists study details of Earth’s evolution.

Exploring Mars could lead to colonization.

Settling other planets is the most attractive aspect of space exploration. It brings to mind entire galaxies filled with human outposts, discovering amazing landscapes and species, and possibly finding intelligent life similar to our own. Studying Mars is one of the first steps along the way. The benefits go well beyond the “wow” factor. Colonies would be able to reap raw materials—including electricity—on their planets and send them back to Earth. That’s right! Colonists could harvest the sun’s energy and send it to Earth in the form of electricity. Being able to farm renewable power will release humans from being too reliant on gas, coal, and nuclear energy.

Colonizing Mars goes beyond the practical rewards. It would be an important moment in the history of humanity, ranking up there with the discovery of “The New World” and the moon landing. It would require a lot of resources, money, and collaboration. Multiple countries could learn how to better our species. Some of the products we use every day were invented by NASA, including baby formula, water filtration, and cell phone cameras. The amount of technological innovation required for such an effort could benefit the world as well.

How will we do it?

NASA currently has plans to send a human mission to Mars by 2033. There are five phases, or steps.

Phase 0: has been going on since the main building of the International Space Station began in 1998. The experiments and collaboration with private space companies (such as SpaceX) are a major component of this phase.

Phase 1: requires that we build bigger and better spacecraft. This will transport the crew with all of the supplies it needs to survive.

Phase 2: Build a Deep Space Transport ​(DST)​ system. The ​DST​ system calls for creating vehicles that astronauts can live in during the two-year trip to Mars, as well as supply lines. This is a practice step of sorts. The system will be tested using missions to the moon.

Phase 3: Expand the ​DST​ system to Mars

Phase 4: Take a manned trip to the red planet.

If this sounds expensive, that’s because it is. Mars One, a private space exploration company whose mission is to establish a permanent human colony on Mars, estimates that it will cost $6 billion. SpaceX estimates that it will cost $10 billion per person. NASA’s costs are much higher. It thinks that such a mission would ultimately cost $1 trillion. Currently, NASA receives 0.5% of the national budget, or $22.629 billion, for all of its operations.

But don’t worry! Although the cost seems extremely high, Elon Musk, who owns SpaceX, thinks that the cost of moving to the moon will eventually be much less. Once everything is in place, the colonies are established, and deep space travel is normalized, someone could move to Mars for as little as $100,000.

“It gets to the point where almost anyone, if they saved up and this was their goal, could buy a ticket and move to Mars — and given that Mars would have a labor shortage for a long time, jobs would not be in short supply,” he said.

Question
In “We’re Going to Mars!” the author’s viewpoint is that travel to Mars is likely in the near future.

How is this viewpoint best conveyed in the text?

Responses

He lists the benefits of NASA exploring and colonizing Mars and other planets.

He emphasizes the impact colonizing Mars will have on humanity.

He describes the detailed plans and timelines for a NASA mission to Mars.

He argues that the cost of a human mission to Mars is expensive.

why is this poem the biggest piece of junk on the planet it makes no sense

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!
