Instructions:Select the correct excerpt.
Informational texts often use images to support ideas. Which of these excerpts from Robert Stawell Ball's Great Astronomers does this image help to explain?
Excerpt 1
The constellation of the Great Bear, which in our skies never sets during its revolution round the pole, did set and rise when a sufficient southern latitude had been attained. On the other hand, constellations new to the inhabitants of northern climes were seen to rise above the southern horizon. These circumstances would be quite incompatible with the supposition that the earth was a flat surface.
Excerpt 2
Ptolemy commences with laying down the undoubted truth that the shape of the earth is globular. The proofs which he gives of this fundamental fact are quite satisfactory; they are indeed the same proofs as we give today. There is, first of all, the well-known circumstance of which our books on geography remind us, that when an object is viewed at a distance across the sea, the lower part of the object appears cut off by the interposing curved mass of water.
Excerpt 3
Imagine a fixed arm to extend from the earth to the sun, as shown in the accompanying figure, then this arm will move round uniformly, in consequence of the sun's movement. At a point P on this arm let a small circle be described. Venus is supposed to revolve uniformly in this small circle, while the circle itself is carried round continuously by the movement of the sun. In this way it was possible to account for the chief peculiarities in the movement of Venus. It will be seen that, in consequence of the revolution around P, the spectator on the earth will sometimes see Venus on one side of the sun, and sometimes on the other side, so that the planet always remains in the sun's vicinity. By properly proportioning the movements, this little contrivance simulated the transitions from the morning star to the evening star.
Excerpt 4
He came to the conclusion that to attribute any motion to the earth would be incompatible with the truths at which he had already arrived. The earth, argued Ptolemy, lies at the centre of the celestial sphere. If the earth were to be endowed with movement, it would not lie always at this point, it must, therefore, shift to some other part of the sphere. The movements of the stars, however, preclude the possibility of this; and, therefore, the earth must be as devoid of any movement of translation as it is devoid of rotation. Thus it was that Ptolemy convinced himself that the stability of the earth, as it appeared to the ordinary senses, had a rational philosophical foundation.
Excerpt 3. The picture has the same qualities.
The correct answer is the third excerpt. If you pay attention to the details of the excerpt in the accompany of the picture you can easily observe this. Information presented in other excerpts is not suitable with the picture. They might contain reliable information, however it doesn't match with the contents of the picture.
How does Fortune behave differently in some stories than she does in others?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Fortune behaves differently in some stories compared to others because Fortune can be a good thing for someone but it could be a curse to others.
When the characters of a story receive fortune they deserve, it is legal, obtained by correct ways, fortune is a bless because it comes in time, and it is appropriate. If Fortune comes as a result of cheating, lying, compromising values, stealing or affecting other people, it could be a curse because, with time, the situation became complex, the truth comes to the surface, and people have to be accountable for his actions. Sometimes, resulting in tragical situations.

Kites: Birds of Glory
As a rule, raptors, or birds of prey, are among the most admired and adored birds in the world. From the California condor to the snowy owl, few birds compare to the tigers of the air: the great hunters whose beauty and skill have inspired art and literature for centuries. The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies.
Most people think of paper or cloth structures flown with string from the ground when the word 'kite' is used. In addition to these popular toys, kite can also refer to a type of raptor. Kites have a small head, a short beak and long narrow wings and tail. Kites can be found all over the world in mostly warm regions. Kites live on a variety of prey—from insects to small rodents or reptiles. Some kites eat only one kind of prey. Kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers.
Two of the most familiar kites in the Southern United States are the swallow-tailed kite and the Mississippi kite. The Mississippi kite is rather plain to look at: a light brown and gray body with a buff or white colored head. But to watch a Mississippi kite fly is to watch a ballet in the air. These raptors eat primarily flying insects, so they do most of their hunting on the wing. As you might imagine, catching flying insects requires a great deal of agility and speed. If you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird. Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer.
The swallow-tailed kite, also common in the South, is more easily identifiable and often seen flying over roads. With black wings and tail, white head and body, and a forked or swallow-like tail, this raptor is just as acrobatic as the Mississippi kite. Swallow-tailed kites like flying over highways in the summer as they can take advantage of the thermals, or columns of warmed air, that rise above the pavement. Once they have climbed to sufficient height, swallow-tails will glide, looking for snakes and reptiles and insects. They also eat small rodents, frogs, and other birds on occasion. Watching a swallow-tail fly is a lot like watching a gymnast perform a floor routine. Rarely flapping its wings, it uses its forked tail to make sharp turns, trace circles in the sky, or simply maintain a heading. Skilled, accomplished, and graceful, this bird is as entertaining as it is beautiful.
Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously. While these kites are not listed as endangered, they are rare and in some states are listed as critical. Loss of habitat is the main reason for the decline. If you are lucky enough to see one, count yourself among the few. These magnificent birds are a sight you won't soon forget.
Based on the text, how are Mississippi kites different from swallow-tail kites?
They are able to eat while in flight, unlike swallow-tail kites.
They are a familiar sight in the South, unlike swallow-tail kites.
They are plainer than swallow-tail kites.
They are more graceful than swallow-tail kites.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
According to the text, the Mississippi kites are simpler and more modest since they only posses a light brown and gray body with a white colored head.
On the other side, the swallow-tailed kites are more much more striking and appealing with their black wings and taile, white body and head and their characteristic swallow-like tail.
Which two excerpts from Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis show how Gregor’s sister, Grete, transformed in the story?
The first time Grete, Gregor's sister, appears in the story, we don't see her. Like the other family members, she's just a voice behind a wall, trying to get Gregor to open up his bedroom door. Unlike her parents, Grete begins to moan and weep as Gregor refuses to open his door.
As the story goes on, Grete grows from a whimpering doormat to an assertive young woman. She's no longer Gregor's flighty little sister who needs to be protected from the big, bad world—or the big, bad bug. She's the only one in the family who can face Gregor in his new body, the only one who seems to be able to read his needs and respond to them:
[His sister] came in on tiptoe, as if she were visiting someone seriously ill or perhaps even a stranger. (2.7)
Her new responsibilities increase her stature in the eyes of her parents... and herself, for that matter. The story suggests that all of her care may not be the most well-intentioned, but an outgrowth of the enthusiasm of a young girl who gets to star in her own fairytale:
Perhaps, however, the romantic enthusiasm of girls her age, which seeks to indulge itself at every opportunity, played a part, by tempting her to make Gregor's situation even more terrifying in order that she might do even more for him. (2.22)
And when things get rough—she has to work as a shopgirl by day, study at night—the fairytale is over. Gregor is no longer the Beast to her Beauty,but a tedious chore. When he ruins her violin concert, it's the last straw. She refuses to call him her brother, and insists that he has to be disposed of just like any old household pest.
Answer: Edmentum- Which two excerpts from Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis show how Gregor’s sister, Grete, transformed in the story?
"It's got to go," shouted his sister, "that's the only way, Father. You've got to get rid of the idea that that's Gregor. We've only harmed ourselves by believing it for so long. How can that be Gregor? If it were Gregor he would have seen long ago that it's not possible for human beings to live with an animal like that and he would have gone of his own free will. We wouldn't have a brother any more, then, but we could carry on with our lives and remember him with respect. As it is this animal is persecuting us, it's driven out our tenants, it obviously wants to take over the whole flat and force us to sleep on the streets. Father, look, just look," she suddenly screamed, "he's starting again!"
Mr. and Mrs. Samsa sat upright there in their marriage bed and had to make an effort to get over the shock caused by the cleaner before they could grasp what she was saying. But then, each from his own side, they hurried out of bed. Mr. Samsa threw the blanket over his shoulders, Mrs. Samsa just came out in her nightdress; and that is how they went into Gregor's room. On the way they opened the door to the living room where Grete had been sleeping since the three gentlemen had moved in; she was fully dressed as if she had never been asleep, and the paleness of her face seemed to confirm this.
"Leave my home. Now!" said Mr. Samsa, indicating the door and without letting the women from him. "What do you mean?" asked the middle of the three gentlemen somewhat disconcerted, and he smiled sweetly. The other two held their hands behind their backs and continually rubbed them together in gleeful anticipation of a loud quarrel which could only end in their favour. "I mean just what I said," answered Mr. Samsa, and, with his two companions, went in a straight line towards the man.
The greatest improvement for the time being, of course, would be achieved quite easily by moving house; what they needed now was a flat that was smaller and cheaper than the current one which had been chosen by Gregor, one that was in a better location and, most of all, more practical. All the time, Grete was becoming livelier. With all the worry they had been having of late her cheeks had become pale, but, while they were talking, Mr. and Mrs. Samsa were struck, almost simultaneously, with the thought of how their daughter was blossoming into a well built and beautiful young lady.

John, an American employee in Asia, is making eye contact during a meeting to show interest. However, Cho, an Asian employee, whom John is communicating with, considers this eye contact as a challenge to authority. What is acting as a barrier to communication here?
inadequate feedback
unclear words
cultural difference
language deficiency
Answer:
The correct answer is "cultural difference"
Explanation:
Eye contact is an effective method to communicate with others. However, in some cultures, including Asian culture, eye contact is consider an affront of authority. In Asian culture for example, only brief eye contect is consider culturally correct.
American culture, on the other hand, considers lack of eye contact as disrespectful and lack of interest.
In the example provided, John makes eye contact to show interest but Cho takes eye contact as a challenge to authority.
This clearly reflects a barrier in communication due to cultural differences.

Which poetic technique does this poem illustrate best?
onomatopoeia
assonance
imagery
consonance
The poem is:
Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws and a silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.
Answer: C) imagery.
Explanation: Imagery is a literary device that consists in the use of figurative language or detailed descriptions in order to evoke the senses of the reader and to create a mental picture. As we can see, in the poem "Silver" by Walter De La Mare, he uses a lot of imagery in phrases like " Walks the night in her silver shoon, " "Couched in his kennel, like a log, With paws of silver sleeps the dog"

What is one of the ways that Poe establishes the mood in "The Raven"?

Final answer:
The figurative language in Emerson's 'Concord Hymn' is personification. Transcendentalism and Dark Romanticism share an appreciation for imagination. In 'The Birthmark,' Aylmer's failures support the theme of imperfection. Emerson uses metaphor in his quote about consistency, and Poe's word choice establishes the mood in 'The Raven'.
Explanation:
The type of figurative language used in the line from "Concord Hymn" by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Down the dark stream which seaward creeps," is personification. This is because the stream is given a human-like ability to creep, which is an action typically associated with movement that is secretive or quiet. Therefore, the correct answer is personification.
In considering the characteristics shared by both Transcendentalism and Dark Romanticism, the correct answer is valuing imagination. Both literary movements place a significant emphasis on the imagination and the inner experiences of the individual. Rejecting conformity is also a characteristic of Transcendentalism but is not typically associated with Dark Romanticism.
The component that provides support for the theme of imperfection in "The Birthmark" is Aylmer's continued scientific shortcomings and failures. These shortcomings represent the flawed nature of humanity and the imperfection inherent in seeking to achieve perfection. Hence, Aylmer's obsession with removing his wife's birthmark, which he sees as a flaw, supports the theme of imperfection.
When Emerson states, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," he is using metaphor as the figurative language. This metaphor compares a particular type of inconsistent behavior to a hobgoblin, a creature that causes fear or is a source of mischief, to emphasize the negative aspect of such behavior without the use of "like" or "as."
Lastly, one of the ways that Poe establishes the mood in "The Raven" is through his word choice. The words Poe chooses are full of darkness and despair, contributing to the eerie and ominous atmosphere of the poem.
