excerpt from the “Where I Lived and What I Lived For” section of Walden by Henry David Thoreau

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws, and with it I would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors I judge; and here I will begin to mine.

How does Thoreau’s style contribute to the meaning of the text?

Select the two correct answers.


The words “my head is an organ for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and fore paws” show that both people and animals act mostly on instinct.

Thoreau’s comparison of his head to his “hands and feet” develops the idea that people’s thoughts drive their actions and take them where they want to be.

Thoreau’s comparison of time to “the stream I go a-fishing in” conveys the idea that most people go through life waiting for something to happen.

The metaphor “the intellect is a cleaver” emphasizes the strength and force of the mind as a powerful tool.

Sources that use facts and reasoned arguments can be said to

Which excerpt from The Great Gatsby is the best example of foreshadowing?

A.) . . . he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward — and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished,
and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.

B.) Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn’t even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can’t stop going with an old friend on account of rumors, and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage.

C.) I said lightly that I had heard nothing at all, and a few minutes later I got up to go home. They came to the door with me and stood side by side in a cheerful square of light. As I started my motor Daisy peremptorily called: “Wait!”

D.) “Her family is one aunt about a thousand years old. Besides, Nick’s going to look after her, aren’t you, Nick? She’s going to spend lots of week-ends out here this summer. I think the home influence will be very good for her.”

PLS ANSWER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never thought departing the trail just a little would be a big deal. My parents had cautioned me so many times about wandering off and how easy it is to get disoriented. But, I wasn't planning to go very far. In fact, I kept looking back to make sure I could retrace my steps. Looking back didn't work. All of the trees began to look the same, and nothing looked familiar. It wasn't until I finally decided to make my way back that I realized I was lost! I had gone much farther, and for much longer, than I had planned.

The warmth that the sun had brought to the forest in the daytime was now quickly disappearing. My parents' warnings came racing through my head. What did they tell me to do if ever I got lost? Over and over they drilled into me, "The most important thing to remember is S.T.O.P.!" It's an acronym for sit, think, observe, and plan. I stopped, sat down on the forest floor, and pulled my knees in close. It was cooling off, and a light drizzle was dampening the forest. I was lonely and scared. I knew that to survive, I had to stay warm, and I needed to drink water. Before I got any wetter, I made a very crude lean-to from the nearby branches and foliage. I managed to collect a bunch of dry leaves for a mattress. It was dark now. I took off my T-shirt and wrapped it around my legs, pulled on my hoodie, and curled up on the bed of leaves. I couldn't sleep. It was a cold, dark, and spooky night, and I was hungry.

It felt like forever before the dawn filtered through the trees the next day. I knew I had to remain calm and make my whereabouts known. My family would be searching for me. I pulled out the only tool I had brought with me, my voice! I began to yell as loudly as I could,

"Help! I'm over here!"

Soon, very faintly at first, I could hear voices. I knew it was the search party, so I kept yelling and then listening. They kept calling out my name, and I kept replying until we were together. My dad was holding me close when he reprimanded me,

"Don't you know you were late for supper? I'm disappointed that you wandered off. I'm glad you told us where you were going, and I'm proud of you for remembering the survival techniques. But, I bet you won't do that again, eh?"

"Nah, I think I learned my lesson," I answered sheepishly.

Read the story The Rescue:

Captain Henry was said to be one of the best divers in Bayfield, Wisconsin, and now he is said to be the best ship captain. However, this evening on Lake Superior was different from any other evening that Captain Henry had seen. It was a wavy and stormy night on the lake. Captain Henry was directing all of his strength to hold the steering wheel and control the ship. The waves were the size of mammoths, and the boat continued to fill with angry water. Captain Henry yelled at his fellow sailors to scoop out the water that was weighing down the ship, but the sailors could not work any faster. "We are sinking! We are sinking!" shouted the sailors.

Captain Henry knew that they were in trouble. With little time to spare before the ship began to sink into Lake Superior, Captain Henry made an urgent call to his older brother. His older brother had helped him with everything from cuts to broken bones all of his life. He was a father figure to Captain Henry. Coincidently, his older brother was also the strongest, bravest, and most dedicated coastguard in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Luckily, with Lake Superior just north of Bayfield, Captain Henry's brother would hopefully be able to rescue them soon. Captain Henry began to desperately flash the emergency lights on the boat so that his brother could find him. In the distance, the sailors pointed to a boat coming their way and tooting its horn. As Captain Henry's brother arrived, he threw a rope to the sailors and pulled them to safety. Standing on the boat, wrapped in blankets, the sailors, Captain Henry, and his brother watched the ship sink. "All good things must come to an end," stated Captain Henry, sadly. "But, hey! Now, you can practice your diving again and go see your ship at the bottom of the lake," joked Captain Henry's brother.

In both texts, the characters find a solution to survive a perilous situation. Lost in the Woods tells of a child who uses the skills they had been taught while waiting to be found in the woods. How is the solution Captain Henry uses to get out of his perilous situation different in the text, The Rescue?

Captain Henry must call for immediate help and abandon his sinking ship.
Captain Henry must use the blankets on his brother's ship to stay warm.
Captain Henry leaves his boat in the water to go diving.
Captain Henry scoops the water out of the boat and sails away.

Read the excerpt from "The Secret Latina" by Veronica Chambers.
My father didn't mind that we considered ourselves Black rather than Latino. He named my brother Malcolm X, and
if my mother hadn't put her foot down, I would have been called Angela Davis Chambers. It's not that my mother
didn't admire Angela Davis, but you have only to hear how 'Veronica Victoria' flows off her Spanish lips to know that
she was homesick for Panama and for those names that sang like timbales on carnival day. So between my father
and my mother was a Black-Latin divide. Because of my father, we read and discussed books about Black history
and civil rights. Because of my mother, we ate Panamanian food, listened to salsa and heard Spanish at home.

Analyze the argument made in this passage.


Corals, the small sea creatures that form the spectacular coral reefs, are also endangered by global warming. As the ocean temperatures rise, the balance between corals and algae in the reefs is thrown off, and the corals die. Additionally, the oceans are becoming more acidic as they take in excess carbon dioxide from the air. Corals do not grow well in water with a high acid content. In the last twenty years, corals have already been affected all over the world. And since corals are a main food source for many sea animals, less coral could mean trouble for other marine life, including fish that humans eat.


Which sentence is the best summary of the argument in this passage?

1. Oceans maintain a delicate balance between the coral reefs and algae.


2. Global warming is having a negative impact on coral reefs, as well as other marine life.


3. Coral reefs provide food and shelter for all types of marine life throughout the world.


4. High levels of carbon dioxide in the air can make ocean water more acidotic.

THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS
From CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise
By Edmond Hamilton

"We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party."

The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!"

Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl."

"Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed.


Which sentence provides the best summary of this excerpt?

Lance Kenniston and Holk Or did not have the money to get where they needed to go.
Holk Or used unacceptable language in public when he was feeling upset or angry.
Even though the ship they needed was being used, Lance Kenniston decided to ask to buy it.
