excerpt from One of Ours
by Willa Cather


1 THE CIRCUS was on Saturday. The next morning Claude was standing at his dresser, shaving. His
beard was already strong, a shade darker than his hair and not so red as his skin. His eyebrows
and long lashes were a pale corn-colour—made his blue eyes seem lighter than they were, and,
he thought, gave a look of shyness and weakness to the upper part of his face. He was exactly
the sort of looking boy he didn’t want to be. He especially hated his head,—so big that he had
trouble in buying his hats, and uncompromisingly square in shape; a perfect block-head. His
name was another source of humiliation. Claude: it was a “chump” name, like Elmer and Roy;
a hayseed name trying to be fine. In country schools there was always a red-headed, wartyhanded,
runny-nosed little boy who was called Claude. His good physique he took for granted;
smooth, muscular arms and legs, and strong shoulders, a farmer boy might be supposed to have.
Unfortunately he had none of his father’s physical repose, and his strength often asserted itself
inharmoniously. The storms that went on in his mind sometimes made him rise, or sit down, or
lift something, more violently than there was any apparent reason for his doing.
2 The household slept late on Sunday morning; even Mahailey did not get up until seven. The
general signal for breakfast was the smell of doughnuts frying. This morning Ralph rolled out of
bed at the last minute and callously put on his clean underwear without taking a bath. This cost
him not one regret, though he took time to polish his new oxblood shoes tenderly with a pocket
handkerchief. He reached the table when all the others were half through breakfast, and made
his peace by genially asking his mother if she didn’t want him to drive her to church in the car.
3 “I’d like to go if I can get the work done in time,” she said, doubtfully glancing at the clock.
4 “Can’t Mahailey tend to things for you this morning?”
5 Mrs. Wheeler hesitated. “Everything but the separator, she can. But she can’t fit all the parts
together. It’s a good deal of work, you know.”
6 “Now, Mother,” said Ralph good-humouredly, as he emptied the syrup pitcher over his cakes,
“you’re prejudiced. Nobody ever thinks of skimming milk now-a-days. Every up-to-date farmer
uses a separator.”

7 Mrs. Wheeler’s pale eyes twinkled. “Mahailey and I will never be quite up-to-date, Ralph. We’re
old-fashioned, and I don’t know but you’d better let us be. I could see the advantage of a
separator if we milked half-a-dozen cows. It’s a very ingenious machine. But it’s a great deal
more work to scald it and fit it together than it was to take care of the milk in the old way.”
8 “It won’t be when you get used to it,” Ralph assured her. He was the chief mechanic of the
Wheeler farm, and when the farm implements and the automobiles did not give him enough
to do, he went to town and bought machines for the house. As soon as Mahailey got used to
a washing-machine or a churn, Ralph, to keep up with the bristling march of invention, brought
home a still newer one. The mechanical dish-washer she had never been able to use, and patent
flat-irons and oil-stoves drove her wild.
9 Claude told his mother to go upstairs and dress; he would scald the separator while Ralph got
the car ready. He was still working at it when his brother came in from the garage to wash his
hands.
10 “You really oughtn’t to load mother up with things like this, Ralph,” he exclaimed fretfully. “Did
you ever try washing this . . . thing yourself?”
11 “Of course I have. If Mrs. Dawson can manage it, I should think mother could.”
12 “Mrs. Dawson is a younger woman. Anyhow, there’s no point in trying to make machinists of
Mahailey and mother.”
13 Ralph lifted his eyebrows to excuse Claude’s bluntness. “See here,” he said persuasively, “don’t
you go encouraging her into thinking she can’t change her ways. Mother’s entitled to all the
labour-saving devices we can get her.”
14 Claude rattled the thirty-odd graduated metal funnels which he was trying to fit together in their
proper sequence. “Well, if this is labour-saving—”
15 The younger boy giggled and ran upstairs for his panama hat. He never quarrelled. Mrs. Wheeler
sometimes said it was wonderful, how much Ralph would take from Claude.
16 After Ralph and his mother had gone off in the car, Mr. Wheeler drove to see his German
neighbour, Gus Yoeder, who had just bought a blooded bull. Dan and Jerry were pitching
horseshoes down behind the barn. Claude told Mahailey he was going to the cellar to put up the
swinging shelf she had been wanting, so that the rats couldn’t get at her vegetables.
17 “Thank you, Mr. Claude. I don’t know what does make the rats so bad. The cats catches one
most every day, too.”
18 “I guess they come up from the barn. I’ve got a nice wide board down at the garage for your
shelf.”

Answer:

The correct answer is give mother more than she can handle

Explanation:

Answer:

Give mother more than she can handle

Explanation:

The expression "load mother up" refers to a concept of overload, of filling the mother with concerns that are greater than her ability to cope. For this reason, we can say that in the phase shown above, this expression means "Give mother more than she can handle".

The speaker of this sentence is concerned with the burden that the mother has been receiving through problems that other people can solve, but they do not try and end up throwing everything at the mother.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.” How can I tell what it was like—you do not know. It was there, in the red light, and they were too big to be houses. It was there with the red light upon it, mighty and ruined. I knew that in another moment the gods would see me. I covered my eyes with my hands and crept back into the forest. Surely, that was enough to do, and live. Surely it was enough to spend the night upon the cliff. The Forest People themselves do not come near. Yet, all through the night, I knew that I should have to cross the river and walk in the places of the gods, although the gods ate me up. My magic did not help me at all and yet there was a fire in my bowels, a fire in my mind. When the sun rose, I thought, "My journey has been clean. Now I will go home from my journey." But, even as I thought so, I knew I could not. If I went to the Place of the Gods, I would surely die, but, if I did not go, I could never be at peace with my spirit again. It is better to lose one's life than one's spirit, if one is a priest and the son of a priest.

Which conflicts occur in this passage? Select three options. Character vs. nature: The narrator must conquer the challenges of the landscape to visit the Place of the Gods.
Character vs. character: The narrator must face the Forest People, since they live directly on the route to the Place of the Gods
. Character vs. self: The narrator must convince himself that just seeing the Place of the Gods from a distance is not enough.
Character vs. society: The narrator must go to the Place of the Gods to satisfy his spirit because he is a priest’s son and must follow his father’s teachings.
Character vs. self: The narrator is overwhelmed with fear of what he sees coming from the Place of the Gods and momentarily retreats.

from Emma
by Jane Austen



Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy
disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly
twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.

She was the youngest of the two daughters of a most affectionate, indulgent father;
and had, in consequence of her sister's marriage, been mistress of his house from a very early
period. Her mother had died too long ago for her to have more than an indistinct remembrance
of her caresses, and her place had been supplied by an excellent woman as governess, who
had fallen little short of a mother in affection.

Sixteen years had Miss Taylor been in Mr. Woodhouse's family, less as a governess
than a friend, very fond of both daughters, but particularly of Emma. Between them it was more
the intimacy of sisters. Even before Miss Taylor had ceased to hold the nominal office of
governess, the mildness of her temper had hardly allowed her to impose any restraint; and the
shadow of authority being now long passed away, they had been living together as friend and
friend very mutually attached, and Emma doing just what she liked; highly esteeming Miss
Taylor's judgment, but directed chiefly by her own.

The real evils indeed of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much
her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages
which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so
unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her.

Sorrow came—a gentle sorrow—but not at all in the shape of any disagreeable
consciousness.—Miss Taylor married. It was Miss Taylor's loss which first brought grief. It was
on the wedding-day of this beloved friend that Emma first sat in mournful thought of any
continuance. The wedding over and the bride-people gone, her father and herself were left to
dine together, with no prospect of a third to cheer a long evening. Her father composed himself
to sleep after dinner, as usual, and she had then only to sit and think of what she had lost.

Question 5 (5.26 points)
In the future, which of the following is most likely to threaten Emma?

Question 5 options:

A. her affection for her father

B. her habit of getting her own way

C. her enjoyment of dinner

D. her friendship with Miss Taylor
