Read the excerpt from the play Apple Picking:
Characters:
- Mischa
- Luke
- Mom
- Dad
Scene One
On an overcast autumn afternoon in the middle of a field with many apple trees. A brother and a sister have a ladder up against an apple tree. One is picking apples and placing them in a sack tied around her waist. The other is holding the ladder steady.
Mischa: (standing on the ladder and looking at an apple) I'm not so sure about these. They have a ton of spots and are not quite ripe.
Luke: That's alright, we're just making a pie for Sunday dinner anyway. No one will see the spots, and we can add sugar to sweeten them up.
Mischa: (Nodding in approval) Yeah, I guess you're right. Mom always likes her pie apples to be a little firm anyways.
Suddenly, the wind begins to blow strongly making the ladder tip back and forth slightly.
Mischa: (With an alarmed look on her face.) What's going on? There isn't supposed to be a storm today! We'll never make it back to our house before it hits!
Luke: (Holding onto the ladder as hard as he can) You need to come down! I can't hold the ladder much longer!
Mischa carefully but swiftly climbs down the ladder while the wind is still blowing. Luke holds on to the ladder as it sways back and forth. Mischa makes it to the bottom. They both look toward dark clouds rolling in quickly with thunder and lightning.
Luke: (Yelling over the storm) We'd better find some shelter! (Pointing toward a rundown old farmhouse.) I think there's an old farm house that way!
Mischa: (Also yelling) You lead the way. I'm too scared!
Luke: (Grabbing her by the hand) It's going to be okay! Run with me!
Both children run to the old farmhouse holding each other's hand. When they make it there, they enter through an open window.
Scene Two
In the kitchen of the old farmhouse. There is an old dusty table and chairs, but everything else including the stove is gone. The windows are broken, the curtains tattered, and the wallpaper peeling. The wind is picking up and blowing through. The children are calming down. Mischa looks out the broken window where a large dead tree sits close to the house, while Luke sits at the old table. The sack of apples sits on the table.
Mischa: It's almost here Luke. The branches on the trees are swaying all over the place.
Luke: (Looking at the old tree through the window) Come away from the window Mischa. It's a really bad storm, that's for sure.
Mischa: (sitting down in the chair opposite Luke.) I think it's a tornado.
Luke: It's not a tornado, but those are some heavy winds.
The wind picks up and the curtains sway violently. Something smacks up against the side of the house.
Luke: What was that? It's picking up.
Mischa: Where are Mom and Dad? Why aren't they here to help us?
Luke: Never mind that. We need to worry about ourselves right now. I think we should go down to the ...
Suddenly, a tree branch hits the window smashing it even more than it was. Luke and Mischa scream.
Mischa: (Yelling) To the basement!
The children run toward the basement when Mischa stops and turns back.
Luke: (Still yelling) What are you doing? Come back!
Mischa: (Still yelling) The apples! I need to grab the apples!
Luke: Mischa no!
Mischa runs to grab the apples. She gets a hold of the sack and turns around toward the basement again. As she gets to the basement door, the old large tree snaps, cracks, and falls through the kitchen wall. She is okay, but shaken.

Explanation
Mr. Ridley
On the Friday before winter break, Mrs. Lyon was out sick with a cold. So, Mr. Ridley substituted for the day. Most of the students in Mrs. Lyon's class were normally well-behaved. However, with the anticipation of the winter break, they became a little wild. While Mr. Ridley was writing on the dry erase board, Margo threw a paper airplane at his back. The class giggled as Mr. Ridley spun around to see who had thrown the paper airplane.
"Class! Throwing paper airplanes at a teacher is unacceptable and disrespectful. Who did that?" Mr. Ridley asked.
The students kept their mouths closed and sat up straight in their chairs. No one volunteered any information.
"Fine then, you will all stay in from recess until someone tells me who threw the airplane," Mr. Ridley said.
Mercy wiggled in her seat. She wanted to tell the teacher who threw the airplane, but she was afraid that the other students would call her a tattle tale.
Alan, the class clown, was thrilled that someone besides him had done something foolish. He would never tell. He would expect the same loyalty from his classmates.
Margo felt nervous. She wanted to confess and apologize to Mr. Ridley, but she was afraid that she would receive a harsh punishment. She wondered how long her classmates would protect her.
Jervis sat and drummed his fingers. He didn't see who threw the paper airplane, but he guessed that it had been Alan. He was tempted to raise his hand and tell the teacher that Alan was the responsible party, but he wasn't completely confident. He really wished that someone would tell who did it. It wasn't fair that the whole class was being punished for one person's mistake.
Rosania was happy that the class wasn't going to recess. She had terrible allergies and wanted to stay inside. She hoped that no one would say a word until recess time was over.
Mr. Ridley walked around the classroom looking at each student's face as he went by. He thought he detected sweat and shaking when he walked by Fred. He wondered if Fred was the culprit. However, Fred just needed to use the restroom but was afraid to ask.
"Fred, you seem a bit anxious. What is it you want to tell me?" Mr. Ridley asked.
"Nothing, sir. I-I need to use the restroom," Fred stammered.
"No one is leaving this room until I find out who threw that airplane at me," Mr. Ridley said.
Margo could not allow her classmates to suffer any longer.
"It was me! I threw it! I'm sorry, Mr. Ridley," Margo said as she burst into tears.
Mr. Ridley hated to see children cry. He rushed over to Margo and gently patted her back.
"I forgive you. Don't cry," Mr. Ridley said.
"I was just being silly. I didn't mean to disrespect you," Margo sniffled.
"We will forget all about it. Let's enjoy the rest of our day together. Because you were honest, we will all play games for the rest of the day," Mr. Ridley announced.
A. Margo is eager, but Alan is hesitant.
B. Margo is regretful, but Alan is pleased.
C. Margo is happy, but Alan is worried.
Answer:
B
Explanation: Margo is upset that the air plane hit the teacher and didn’t mean for it to happen but Alan is pleased because he was happy someone did something foolish.
Based on the given excerpt, we can infer that Margo is regretful, but Alan is pleased.
According to the excerpt, we are told the story of how Mr Ridley substitutes for Mrs Lyon who is out sick and the children who are normally well behaved become unruly.
During the course of the lesson, someone throws a paper plane to Mr Ridley's back and nobody would own up to the act, so he decides that no one would go for recess till the culprit is found.
The real culprit, Margo finally confessed and bursts into tears because she hated to see her classmates suffer on her account.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B because Margo is regretful.

Answer:
Which book are you talking about? But here are some information I will be porviding you with.
Explanation:
Book I
While visiting the Piraeus with Glaucon, Polemarchus tells Socrates to join him for a romp. Socrates then asks Cephalus, Polemarchus, and Thrasymachus their definitions of justice. Cephalus defines justice as giving what is owed. Polemarchus says justice is "the art which gives good to friends and evil to enemies." Thrasymachus proclaims "justice is nothing else than the interest of the stronger." Socrates overturns their definitions and says that it is to one's advantage to be just and disadvantage to be unjust. The first book ends in aporia concerning its essence.
Book II
Socrates believes he has answered Thrasymachus and is done with the discussion of justice.
Socrates' young companions, Glaucon and Adeimantus, continue the argument of Thrasymachus for the sake of furthering the discussion. Glaucon gives a lecture in which he argues first that the origin of justice was in social contracts aimed at preventing one from suffering injustice and being unable to take revenge, second that all those who practice justice do so unwillingly and out of fear of punishment, and third that the life of the unjust man is far more blessed than that of the just man. Glaucon would like Socrates to prove that justice is not only desirable, but that it belongs to the highest class of desirable things: those desired both for their own sake and their consequences. To demonstrate the problem, he tells the story of Gyges, who – with the help of a ring that turns him invisible – achieves great advantages for himself by committing injustices.
After Glaucon's speech, Adeimantus adds that, in this thought experiment, the unjust should not fear any sort of divine judgement in the afterlife, since the very poets who wrote about such judgement also wrote that the gods would grant forgiveness to those humans who made ample religious sacrifice. Adeimantus demonstrates his reason by drawing two detailed portraits, that the unjust man could grow wealthy by injustice, devoting a percentage of this gain to religious losses, thus rendering him innocent in the eyes of the gods.
Socrates suggests that they look for justice in a city rather than in an individual man. After attributing the origin of society to the individual not being self-sufficient and having many needs which he cannot supply himself, they go on to describe the development of the city. Socrates first describes the "healthy state", but Glaucon asks him to describe "a city of pigs", as he finds little difference between the two. He then goes on to describe the luxurious city, which he calls "a fevered state".[8] This requires a guardian class to defend and attack on its account. This begins a discussion concerning the type of education that ought to be given to these guardians in their early years, including the topic of what kind of stories are appropriate. They conclude that stories that ascribe evil to the gods are untrue and should not be taught.
Book III
Socrates and his companions Adeimantus and Glaucon conclude their discussion concerning education. Socrates breaks the educational system into two. They suggest that guardians should be educated in these four virtues: wisdom, courage, justice and temperance. They also suggest that the second part of the guardians' education should be in gymnastics. With physical training they will be able to live without needing frequent medical attention: physical training will help prevent illness and weakness. Socrates asserts that both male and female guardians be given the same education, that all wives and children be shared, and that they be prohibited from owning private property.
Book IV
Socrates and his companions conclude their discussion concerning the lifestyle of the guardians, thus concluding their initial assessment of the city as a whole. Socrates assumes each person will be happy engaging in the occupation that suits them best. If the city as a whole is happy, then individuals are happy. In the physical education and diet of the guardians, the emphasis is on moderation, since both poverty and excessive wealth will corrupt them (422a1). Without controlling their education, the city cannot control the future rulers. Socrates says that it is pointless to worry over specific laws, like those pertaining to contracts, since proper education ensures lawful behavior, and poor education causes lawlessness (425a-425c).[9]

3.When Montresor encounters Fortunato at the carnival, he is wearing a jester’s outfit with cap and bells while Montresor is wearing a black cloak. How do these costumes foreshadow the events of the story?
4.It is implied that Fortunato has insulted Montresor’s family. How is Montresor’s method of killing him fitting to this crime? Think about the location.
5.Montresor explains at the beginning that Fortunato has mistreated him “thousands” of times. Do you think that murdering him is justified based on this description? Explain why or why not.
Answer:
How am i supposed to answer this?
Explanation:
The Montresor family motto, "To punish with impunity," reflects Montresor's desire to exact revenge on Fortunato for perceived insults without facing consequences.
What led to Fortunato's demise?Fortunato's trust and gullibility lead to his demise, a victim of his own misfortune. The costumes symbolize Montresor's sinister intentions and his murderous plan, while Fortunato's jester outfit symbolizes his foolishness.
The method of killing, entombing Fortunato alive within a catacomb, represents the slow, torturous punishment Montresor believes Fortunato deserves, ensuring he suffers in darkness and isolation.
The murder is not justified based on Fortunato's mistreatment, as Montresor's actions demonstrate a deeply disturbed and vengeful nature, making his decision to kill him unjustifiable and morally wrong.
