Passage:
Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father was a craftsman who had a workshop with many tools for his job. One tool in his workshop was an awl. It was a tool with a pointed tip that could punch holes in leather and wood. When Louis was three years old, an awl pierced his eye while he was playing in his father’s workshop. After this accident resulted in a serious infection, Louis became blind. Though he could not see, Louis was successful at many things. He made good grades in school, played the organ and cello, and had many friends. The one thing he felt left out of was reading. He was a curious student who wanted to enjoy the knowledge found in books. There were a few books with raised letters at his school, but they were hard to read. Louis thought there should be a better system that would allow people to run their fingers quickly across a page. He wanted to be able to read as quickly as people with sight. At 15 years old, Louis worked hard to make a code that blind people could feel on the page. For ideas, he studied codes used by the military. Finally, he created a writing system that used raised dots. Each letter can have up to six dots. The placement of the dots is unique for each letter. It took some time for Braille’s system to catch on, but now it is the main language blind people use for reading. Even with the invention of audio books and recordings, many people still use Braille to read books today.
Based on the selection, which statement about Louis Braille is most likely true?
A. He had a hard time learning music.
B. He liked audio books and recordings.
C. He thought reading was important.
D. He created codes for the military.
Answer:
C. He thought reading was important.
Explanation:
After reading the text, we are able to strike out a few answers right off the bat with particular sentences.
Since Louis "played the organ and cello", we know that he didn't have a hard time learning music, so A is out.
There is no mention of Louis' liking of audio books and recordings in the text. It's only mentioned in the sentence: "Even with the invention of audio books and recordings...", which only serves as a conclusion to the passage and doesn't illustrate that Louis likes them. B is out.
The sentence "For ideas, he studied codes used by the military", rules out letter D, since he didn't create the codes he studied. That would be counterproductive.
Therefore, Louis' creation of the Braille system makes C the correct answer. You can also conclude this just from the statement: "He wanted to be able to read as quickly as people with sight." Why else would Louis want this if he didn't think reading was important?

Do you think that identifying your personal philosophy is very important? Why?
Answer:
Indeed, I believe that each person must identify their personal philosophy in order to determine what their goals are in life, and the way in which they can be achieved. Otherwise, if the person does not identify what ethical and moral values make up the philosophical component of it, he will most likely be involved in situations that will be uncomfortable from a personal, ethical and moral point of view. In short, knowing what one's personal philosophy is is necessary for greater mental and sentimental stability.

Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether
On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.
Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

Explanation: The phrase "Look with favor on" (or "view with favor on") means that something is approved, or that someone views something positively. The text mentions that Italians are not like any other citizen in the world, because of their peculiarity and uncommon behavior. Therefore, the preposition "on" would fit well in the text, conveying that Italians were not very approved by other cultures.

The Land.
"He ride good's he look, Mister Edward?"
"He's a fine riding horse, all right," said my daddy, "but he needs training. I figure he gets that training, he could be the best around."
"Yes, suh," said Willie Thomas, stroking the stallion's forehead. "He sure got a good look to him, I know that!"
"Now, Willie," said my daddy, "I expect you to take mighty good care of this horse. I'm depending on Ghost Wind to win me more than a few races by the coming year, and I want him in the best condition possible."
***
It wasn't until the next day I saw Mitchell again. "You get a whippin' for ridin' that stallion?" he asked as I made my way through the woods toward the creek.
I shook my head. "No. Just can't ride Ghost Wind anymore."
Mitchell glanced sideways at me, almost as if he felt bad about my predicament. "That bad as a whippin'?"
"Worse."
Based on their reactions in these excerpts, how does Paul’s viewpoint of the horses differ from his father’s viewpoint?
Paul feels an emotional connection to Ghost Wind, while his father mostly values Ghost Wind as a possession.
Paul does not believe that Ghost Wind should be raced, while his father believes that Ghost Wind is meant to race.
Paul thinks that it is unfair to keep Ghost Wind away from him, while his father believes that it is necessary to teach Ghost Wind a lesson.
Paul does not think that Ghost Wind needs training, while his father thinks that Ghost Wind should be trained daily.
Answer: A:Paul feels an emotional connection to Ghost Wind, while his father mostly values Ghost Wind as a possession.
Explanation:
Based on their reactions in these excerpts, we can see that Paul’s viewpoint of the horses differ from his father’s viewpoint as while Paul feels an emotional connection to Ghost Wind, his father mostly values Ghost Wind as a possession.
His father was more concerned about the horse training so that he could be the best as he wanted the horse to win him more races by the coming year. He viewed the horse as a possession. On the other hand, Paul was emotionally connected to the horse, this can be seen when he was stroking the horse's head and also riding it and felt bad when he was told to stop riding it.

Answer:

"Mother to Son" is a 1922 poem written by Langston Hughes. The poem follows a mother speaking to her son about her life, which she says "ain't been no crystal stair". She first describes the struggles she has faced and then urges him to continue moving forward.
What is noun?The best definition of an appositive is a noun or noun phrase that modifies a noun. This grammatical construction usually sits next to another noun and modifies it by renaming it or describing it in another way. Appositives are generally offset with commas or dashes. For example: My best friend, Gary, lost his keys.
Common nouns are nouns that name a class of person, place, thing, animal or event in a general way (they do not refer to someone or something in specific as proper nouns do), and that are not to be capitalized unless they begin a sentence or are part of a title. The term report, then, is a common noun because it refers to a class of thing or of piece of information, and is not to be capitalized.
Therefore, "Mother to Son" is a 1922 poem written by Langston Hughes. The poem follows a mother speaking to her son about her life, which she says "ain't been no crystal stair". She first describes the struggles she has faced and then urges him to continue moving forward.
