Nicki dashed up the shore and into the forest, not stopping
to think. She could feel the footsteps behind her, the
nameless thugs whose loyalties could be bought and sold
like sacks of sugar. Those men were fast; she hoped she
was faster. For the first time since her journey began, a
sliver of doubt entered Nicki's mind. Why did she start all
this in the first place? The doubt would follow her as the
men continued to chase her around the island. They were
unrelenting hounds. She was their timid prey.
Which statement best describes why the men chasing Nicki are examples of
flat characters?
OA. The men simply keep chasing Nicki, and their motivations are not
revealed.
OB. The men are conflicted about whether they should continue to
chase Nicki.
C. The men are unsure if they are faster than Nicki.
D. The men reveal that they are chasing Nicki because she stole
sugar from them.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The men continued to chase and the word unrelenting implies that they kept on chasing. Their intentions are not clear since Nicki herself did not know why they they were chasing her and we are not told anything about the men.

B can be eliminated since the men continued to chase

C can be eliminated since nothing is mentioned about the relative speeds of Nicki and the men

D. Sugar has nothing to do with the situation. It simply is a phrase that expresses the measure of the loyalties of the men since sacks of sugar are cheap

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.

The bagel data also reflect how much personal mood seems to affect honesty. Weather, for instance, is a major factor. Unseasonably pleasant weather inspires people to pay at a higher rate. Unseasonably cold weather, meanwhile, makes people cheat prolifically; so do heavy rain and wind. Worst are the holidays. The week of Christmas produces a 2 percent drop in payment rates—again, a 15 percent increase in theft, an effect on the same magnitude, in reverse, as that of 9/11. Thanksgiving is nearly as bad; the week of Valentine’s Day is also lousy, as is the week straddling April 15. There are, however, a few good holidays: the weeks that include the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. The difference in the two sets of holidays? The low-cheating holidays represent little more than an extra day off from work. The high-cheating holidays are fraught with miscellaneous anxieties and the high expectations of loved ones.

The excerpt is an example of inductive reasoning because the authors

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

On a plantation there were large groups of workers—between fifty and several hundred. The mill was right next to the crop, so that growing and grinding took place in the same spot. And all the work was governed by extremely tight, rigid discipline. The Muslims began to put together the rules for this new kind of farming. Both they and the Christians experimented with using their slaves to run the plantations. At first many of the slaves working sugar plantations in the Mediterranean were Russians, or anyone captured in war. But even all this careful organization did not solve the second problem with sugar.

What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that making sugar was difficult? Select two options.

"growing and grinding took place in the same spot"
"the work was governed by extremely tight, rigid discipline"
"Muslims began to put together the rules for this new kind of farming"
"experimented with using their slaves to run the plantations"
“many of the slaves working sugar plantations in the Mediterranean were Russians”
"careful organization did not solve the second problem with sugar"

Luther King, Jr." by Alice Walker.
He was The One, The Hero, The One Fearless Person
for whom we had waited. I hadn't even realized before
that we had been waiting for Martin Luther King, Jr., but
we had. And I knew it for sure when my mother added
his name to the list of people she prayed for every
night.
I sometimes think that it was literally the prayers of
people like my mother and father, who had bowed
down in the struggle for such a long time, that kept Dr.
King alive until five years ago. For years we went to

Palo Duro
Some places simply warrant more attention. One of the most illustrious sites in the world is known by very few except regular adventure-goers.
Travelers are awed by Palo Duro Canyon as its deep, red landscape appears seemingly out of nowhere. The canyon, similar in length to the Grand
Canyon in Arizona, has scenic views just as glorious as those of the more famous canyon. At night, coyotes can be heard in the distance as the high
winds gust through the valley, echoing the howls off the steep canyon walls. During the day, the hateful sun heats up every visible crevice, providing a
contrast to the cool, breezy nights. The favorable aspect of the day is its gift of sight, of the stunning erosion that has taken place over millions of
years, or of the rocks impossibly balanced on one another and their relentless determination to remain unmoved. This place and its striking diversity
deserve recognition for doing exactly what nature does best: providing wonder to all.

Read this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's "Is it a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote? " and complete the sentences that follow.
But is urged, the use of the masculine pronouns he, his and him, in all the constitutions and laws, is proof that only men were meant to be included in their provisions. If you insist on this version of the letter of the law, we shall insist that you be consistent, and accept the other horn of the dilemma, which would compel you to exempt women from taxation for the support of the government, and from penalties for the violation of laws. . . .

So long as any classes of men were denied their right to vote, the government made a show of consistency, by exempting them from taxation. When a property qualification of $250 was required of black men in New York, they were not compelled to pay taxes, so long as they were content to report themselves worth less than that sum; but the moment the black man died, and his property fell to his widow or daughter, the black woman's name would be put on the assessor's list, and she be compelled to pay taxes on the same property exempted to her husband. The same is true of ministers in New York. So long as the minister lives, he is exempted from taxation on $1,500 of property, but the moment the breath goes out of his body, his widow's name will go down on the assessor's list, and she will have to pay taxes on the $1,500. So much for the special legislation in favor of women.

Susan B. Anthony makes two compelling arguments to suggest that women should be given the right to vote. She attacks the argument of the anti-suffragists that
