Read this excerpt from Countee Cullen's poem "The Dark Tower," and then complete the sentences that follow.

We shall not always plant while others reap
The golden increment of bursting fruit,
Not always countenance, abject and mute,
That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap;
Not everlastingly while others sleep . . .

When Cullen speaks of planting while others reap, and standing "abject and mute," he is speaking about the injustices present in American society. As these injustices have changed over time, the American has also shifted. Those changes are, in turn, reflected in American literature.

Which summary correctly describes the second half of Antigone?
1. Haemon and Creon get into an argument and have a huge falling out. Haemon decides to leave Thebes, along with his mother, Queen
Eurydice. Antigone tries to convince her fiancé, Haemon, to forgive his father by telling him that family is the most important thing. Haemon
follows Antigone's advice and reconciles with his father. Creon is touched and humbled by Antigone's graciousness and forgives her for
defying his order and burying Polyneices. The play ends with Antigone and Haemon happily married and ready to become the new king and
queen of Thebes.
2. Haemon tries to convince his father to think about his citizens and what they want and to realize his arrogance and folly. However, Creon
dismisses him and decrees that instead of sentencing Antigone to death, he will entomb her. Antigone puts up a brave face before being
entombed. The prophet Teiresias warns Creon of his folly, only to be rebuked. Later, when Creon goes to free Antigone, he finds out that she
has killed herself, and he witnesses Haemon stabbing himself. This news reaches Queen Eurydice, who also stabs herself in a fit of grief.
Creon returns to the palace childless and wifeless, finally realizes his hubris, and repents.
3. Haemon informs Creon that if Antigone has to die because of his unjust law, he will die with her. This announcement distresses Creon, but
he feels that Haemon is merely threatening him. He's shocked to find Haemon dead in his chambers the next morning. Haemon's death
greatly grieves Queen Eurydice, who soon after stabs herself in the heart. Creon is in deep anguish and realizes how blind he was. To honor
his wife and son's memory, he forgives Antigone. The play ends with Antigone becoming the first female ruler of Thebes. She looks after
Creon like she would have looked after her own father.
4. Haemon lends his father, Creon, his full support after Creon decides to sentence Haemon's fiancée, Antigone, to death. Ismene comes to
Haemon to beg for her sister's life, but Haemon dismisses her. Ismene decides that the only way to save her sister's life is for Haemon and
Antigone to elope. But Antigone refuses to be a coward and run away. She bravely faces the consequences of her actions. The Theban
citizens lament her terrible fate. Isméne cannot bear the thought of living without her sister, who is her last surviving family member, and
poisons herself. The play ends with both the sisters dead and Oedipus' bloodline entirely destroyed.

Read the excerpt from The Hot Zone and the summary that follows it. Half of this biocontainment operation was going to be news containment. C. J.

Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence indicates that the colonists did not wish to remain hostile toward Great Britain in the future? In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
