3. Which of the following describes the author's overall
purpose in the text?
OA to show readers that Hughes and King remained in
contact over the years
OB to prove to readers that elements of King's speeches were
inspired by Hughes
OC to explore possible reasons for why King distanced
himself from Hughes
OD to discuss how Hughes' poetry was influenced by King's
activism

Answer:

C&B

Explanation:

To prove to readers that elements of King's speeches were inspired by Hughes and to explore possible reasons for why King distanced describes the author's overall purpose in the text. Hence, option B and C are correct.

One of the most well-known authors and intellectuals of the 1920s' Harlem Renaissance, which celebrated black life and culture via literature, music, theater, and visual art, was Langston Hughes.

Men like Howard Thurman, Mordecai Johnson, and Bayard Rustin introduced and prompted King to read Gandhi's writings. One of King's most important mentors, Benjamin Mays, gave him a background in history. Mays' words and phrases are used liberally throughout several of King's speeches.

King's address, which has been acclaimed as a masterpiece of rhetoric, references important texts from American history, such as the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the US Constitution.

Thus, option B and C are correct.

After the Egyptians crushed cut cane and captured the juice, they boiled and strained the liquid, let it settle, then strained it again. The cane juice was now poured into molds with holes in the bottom, so that all the liquid could drain out, leaving only a powder. That powder was then mixed with milk and boiled again. After one round of these steps, the process was repeated all over again. As a result of all this effort and care, Egypt was known for the "whitest and purest" sugar.

Which statement best summarizes this passage?
Egyptians required access to fire, molds, and milk in order to produce sugar.
Egyptians created an innovative process for refining white sugar.
The Egyptians' techniques proved that they were the smartest people in the ancient world.
The Egyptians' success inspired other cultures to develop similar techniques.

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.

(C) 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.

Who or what functions as a symbol in this passage? A: the sea B: Dawn C: Zeus D: the ships Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north a storm against the ships, and driving veils of squall moved down like night on land and sea. The bows went plunging at the gust, sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind. We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief, until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining. Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested, letting the steersmen and the breeze take over. I might have made it safely home, that time, but as I came round Malea the current took me out to sea, and from the north a fresh gale drove me on, past Cythera. Nine days I drifted on the teeming sea before dangerous high winds.​
