D) He would gladly trade homes with anyone else.

Answer:

B)  No shanty comes close to as poor as mine.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau's “Walden” is a literary piece that presents the picture of living in the most simple and rustic way. Thoreau experimented the art of living in the most simple way by spending some days in the woods. He listed his feelings and the setting of the place. The piece is considered as his masterpiece that includes the theme of labor, individualism and appreciation for nature. It also highlights the theme of leisure and self-reliance.  

Shanty refers to the house made up of woods without the basic amenities. It is the place to shed a life with simple and rustic living.  

In the given excerpt, Thoreau presents the picture of his shanty and says that his shanty was in a very basic condition. He compares his shanty to all the other shanties and says that no other shanty can be as poor as his.

Answer: B

Explanation:

Each load of furniture passing by, looks as if it has twelve times more things than a typical poor shanty has. However, any given shanty has more than twelve times more things than his own home has. So, no

shanty comes close to as poor as his. Yet. he is not unhappy.

Read the passage below (from Gertrude Stein's Three Lives) with accuracy and fluency. Discuss any unfamiliar words from the passage and what strategies you used to understand them.

Lena?s German voice when she knocked and called the family in the morning was as awakening, as soothing, and as appealing, as a delicate soft breeze in midday, summer. She stood in the hallway every morning a long time in her unexpectant and unsuffering German patience calling to the young ones to get up. She would call and wait a long time and then call again, always even, gentle, patient, while the young ones fell back often into that precious, tense, last bit of sleeping that gives a strength of joyous vigor in the young, over them that have come to the readiness of middle age, in their awakening.

A Flag with 50 Stars

The first American flag to have red and white stripes and white stars on a blue field was flown in 1776, shortly after the United States declared its independence from Great Britain. Legend has it that a Philadelphia seamstress named Betsy Ross was hired by George Washington himself to create this flag. There is no evidence that this legend is true, and no one knows for certain who made the first flag, which had 13 stars and 13 stripes. However, we know for a fact that the first flag to have 50 stars—the one we have today—was designed by a high school student.

In 1958, Bob Heft was a 17-year-old student at Lancaster High School in Ohio. At that time, the United States had only 48 states but was on the verge of accepting two more: Alaska and Hawaii. The U.S. flag at the time had six neat rows of eight stars each. What would be the best way to add two more stars while keeping the arrangement neat and orderly? This was the question that Bob’s history teacher posed to the class.

The teacher gave the students an assignment: design a flag with 50 stars. Bob spent hours in the attic of his house, cutting up a 48-star flag and rearranging the stars until they fit just right. He was pleased with his solution to the problem, but his teacher found it less than perfect and gave him a B minus. Outraged, Bob told his teacher that he was going to send his design to his member of Congress, Walter Moeller. His teacher replied that if Bob’s design was accepted as the new flag, he would be more than happy to change the grade to an A.

A year later, Bob had graduated and was working as a draftsman when he received a call at work. He never would have imagined a call from President Eisenhower—but that's who it was! Now that Alaska and Hawaii had been admitted as states, Congressman Moeller had succeeded in having Bob's design chosen as the new U.S. flag. Bob Heft was invited to Washington, D.C., for a ceremony during which his design was officially adopted as the new flag of the United States.

Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint toward in “A Flag with 50 Stars”?


People make too much of the importance of historical accuracy.


Bob is to be admired for believing in himself and his work.


Bob's teacher is unreasonable and unfair.


Congress should pay more attention to the ideas of young people.
