(NO LINKS) Read the passage from the chapter "My Breaking In" from Black Beauty, in which the horse describes his first encounter with the train.

In the course of the day many other trains went by, some more slowly; these drew up at the station close by, and sometimes made an awful shriek and groan before they stopped. I thought it very dreadful, but the cows went on eating very quietly, and hardly raised their heads as the black frightful thing came puffing and grinding past.

Why does the author use figurative language to describe the train in this passage?

A. The author uses an idiom related to the noises the train makes to explain that Black Beauty thinks the train is alive.
B. The author uses a metaphor that compares the noises the train makes and the animals peacefully grazing to allow readers to understand Black Beauty's awareness of his surroundings.
C. The author uses an analogy that compares time passing and a train passing to explain that Black Beauty feels as though time has slowed down.
D. The author uses personification of the noises the train makes to help readers understand Black Beauty's experience.

To Autumn
by John Keats

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.


Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drows'd with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.


Where are the songs of spring? Ay, Where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

Question 1
Part A

What inference can be drawn from "To Autumn"?


Autumn is a beautiful season, but spring is much preferred.

Autumn is a peaceful and abundant season, full of natural beauty.

Autumn is a sad season, and the autumn of life is equally sad.

Autumn is simply a precursor to winter, and the autumn of life is a time of grief.
Question 2
Part B

Which evidence from the text best supports the answer in Part A?


"Where are the songs of spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—"

"And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook; . . .
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours."

"Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;"

"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness . . .
Conspiring . . . how to load and bless
With fruit the vines . . .
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core."

Lines 51–60: What words and phrases convey an ethical appeal? What is the impact of this language on the tone of the speech?

Lines 61–64: What elements of Wiesel’s conclusion make it an effective ending for the speech?
“After Auschwitz, the human condition is not the same, nothing will be the same.” (Wiesel)

Here heaven and earth are on fire.
I speak to you as a man, who 50 years and nine days ago had no name, no hope, no future, and was

known only by his number, A7713[1].A narrow passage with a barbed wire fence on both sides.
I speak as a Jew who has seen what humanity has done to itself by trying to exterminate an entire

people and inflict suffering and humiliation and death on so many others.
In this place of darkness and malediction[2] we can but stand in awe and remember its stateless,

faceless and nameless victims. Close your eyes and look: endless nocturnal processions are converging here, and here it is always night.
Here heaven and earth are on fire.

Close your eyes and listen. Listen to the silent screams of terrified mothers, the prayers of anguished old men and women. Listen to the tears of children, Jewish children, a beautiful little girl among them, with golden hair, whose vulnerable tenderness has never left me. Look and listen as they quietly walk towards dark flames so gigantic that the planet itself seemed in danger.

All these men and women and children came from everywhere, a gathering of exiles drawn by death.

Yitgadal veyitkadash, Shmay Rabba.[3]

In this kingdom of darkness there were many people. People who came from all the occupied lands of

Europe. And then there were the Gypsies and the Poles and the Czechs . . . It is true that not all the victims

were Jews. But all the Jews were victims.

Now, as then, we ask the question of all questions: what was the meaning of what was so routinely

going on in this kingdom of eternal night. What kind of demented mind could have invented this system?

And it worked. The killers killed, the victims died and the world was the world and everything else

was going on, life as usual. In the towns nearby, what happened? In the lands nearby, what happened?

Life was going on where God’s creation was condemned to blasphemy[4] by their killers and their

accomplices.

Yitgadal veyitkadash, Shmay Rabba.

Turning point or watershed,[5] Birkenau[6] produced a mutation[7] on a cosmic scale, affecting man’s

dreams and endeavours. After Auschwitz, the human condition is no longer the same. After Auschwitz,

nothing will ever be the same.

Yitgadal veyitkadash, Shmay Rabba.

As we remember the solitude and the pain of its victims, let us declare this day marks our commitment

to commemorate their death, not to celebrate our own victory over death.

As we reflect upon the past, we must address ourselves to the present and the future. In the name of

all that is sacred in memory, let us stop the bloodshed in Bosnia, Rwanda and Chechnia; the vicious and

ruthless terror attacks against Jews in the Holy Land.[8] Let us reject and oppose more effectively

religious fanaticism and racial hate.

Where else can we say to the world “Remember the morality of the human condition,” if not here?

For the sake of our children, we must remember Birkenau, so that it does not become their future.

Yigal veyitkadash, Shmay Rabba: Weep for Thy children whose death was not mourned then:

weep for them, our Father in heaven, for they were deprived of their right to be buried, for heaven itself

became their cemetery.

“So the whole day was a trick?” I asked.

“We like to think of it as a very elaborate birthday surprise,” my mom replied.

I was stunned but also grateful and amazed that all these people would do this for me. What incredible friends and family I had. I was speechless. That doesn’t happen often!

Read the passage from the following website: www.growingnation.org

President Thomas Jefferson believed that for Americans to be virtuous and free, they needed to farm land. He wanted to expand westward to create more farmland. Jefferson also wanted to obtain the Port of New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River so farmers could easily transport their goods. He facilitated the purchase of New Orleans and the rest of the French territory from France in 1803 for $15 million. This new land was called the Louisiana Territory and stretched partway across the continent. It was the first step in expanding the United States. The purchase of the Louisiana Territory led to a pattern of westward expansion through payment, negotiations, and conflict.

Read the passage from the website: www.expandingcountries.edu/unitedstates/louisianapurchase

The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States and vastly increased its resources and riches. The roles of the president and the Constitution were also defined, as it was determined that the president could purchase the land without consulting Congress. Despite the advantages of expanding westward, one prominent disadvantage was the growing tension between slave states and free states regarding whether new states would permit slavery. The opportunity to grow a nation would endanger its very survival during the Civil War.

Which of the following text based responses correctly answers the following question: How did the Louisiana purchase benefit the United States? Use both texts to find the best response.

a
Pioneers began to farm the new land or use other natural resources. Some of these people used the Mississippi River and the Port of New Orleans to ship their products. This purchase clarified the Constitution, increased riches, and led to buying more land.

b

He also wanted to obtain the Port of New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi River, so farmers could transport their goods. The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States and vastly increased its resources and riches. The roles of the president and the Constitution were also defined, as it was determined that the president could purchase the land without consulting Congress.

c
The Louisiana Purchase benefited the United States because it led to westward expansion, secure waterways, and a stronger nation. Pioneers began to farm the land or use the natural resources. Some of these people used the Mississippi River and the Port of New Orleans to ship their products. This purchase clarified the Constitution, increased riches, and led to buying more land. By strengthening the country, securing waterways, and expanding westward, the Louisiana purchase benefited the U.S.

d
The Louisiana Purchase involved the United States paying France $15 million for their territory. Americans moved into the new land and began to farm. They lived virtuous lives full of hard work and determination. The purchase doubled the size of the United States.

Think #2 Write two or three sentences explaining Mandela’s point of view about courage and his reaction to fear. Support your answer with evidence from paragraph 4.

He writes that courage is ______________________________ (author, year, paragraph). He best explains it as __________________________ (author, year, paragraph). Mandela also writes about fear. He say, " _____ (author, year, paragraph)".


Think #3 Refer to multiple details to explain Mandela’s view of a person’s “twin obligations” - both from ideas that are directly stated in paragraph 7 and from ideas you have inferred from clues in the text.

The reader can infer this to mean ______________________ based on the evidence from context clues that discusses _____________________________ (author, year, paragraph #). Mandela states the following about twin obligations, "___________________________________" (author, year, paragraph #).


Think #4 Use context clues and word relationships to determine the meaning of the word resiliency as it is used in paragraph 4 of Long Walk to Freedom. Write your definition of resiliency and tell how you determined its meaning.


Based on the text and context clues, the definition of resiliency means ______________________________ (author, year, paragraph #). The context clues in the text that support this definition are, "____________________________ (author, year, paragraph #)".


Think #5 By recalling that the Latin prefix trans- means “across” or “to change completely” and that the suffixation means “act or process,” use the context clues provided in paragraph 5 to determine the meaning of transformation. Write your definition of transformation here and tell how you figured out its meaning.


From the root meaning of "trans" (across or to change completely) and the suffix "ation" meaning act of process the word transformation in paragraph 5 is defined as _______________________.
