Read the following paragraph.

What does it mean to go hungry? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it means not having access to enough food to live a healthy life. It means not knowing when or what one will eat, and for some, it means missing a meal every day or even going without food for days. Forty-nine million Americans, 17 million of whom are children, go hungry each day (Nord). Hunger happens in small towns and big cities, among every age, race, and gender. It does not discriminate and causes harm to every person that suffers from it. Hunger weakens the body and causes those who regularly go without food to become sick more easily.

Read the passage and then answer the question below.

From The New York Times, November 2, 1917

Mrs. Atherton pleads for the ballot (presumably) as a means of bettering the condition of the eight million women "who earn a living shoulder to shoulder with men." Mrs. Atherton herself is one of these women, as this eight million includes every "female of ten years or over engaged in gainful occupation"—from the grand opera singer, with her contracts running into the thousands of dollars, down to the domestic, underpaid and overwork, slaving twelve to fourteen hours a day, year in and year out, with no vacation, in the kitchens of other women. Does Mrs. Atherton think that the ballot will shorten the hours and raise the wages of these women? Just how does Mrs. Atherton think the ballot will benefit them? Are the interests of women and children better protected in the States where women vote than in the States where they do not vote? If we refer to some of the suffrage States, we will find that in Wyoming, where the "mother half of humanity" has voted for forty-eight years, the courts have declared unconstitutional a law which was put on the statute books prohibiting the employment of women more than fifty-six hours a week and more than ten hours a day, thereby destroying one of the safeguards erected for protection of the working woman. Also a pamphlet issued by the National Child Labor Committee, entitled "What State Laws and Federal Census Say About Child Labor," devotes a chapter to the "States Weakening or Nullifying Standard Provisions by Exemptions," and among these is Wyoming, with six other woman suffrage States ... Ethel Beyea, Secretary Wage Earners' Anti-Suffrage League

Which of the following passages uses word choices that most clearly illustrate the author's opinion?

"with six other woman suffrage States"

"Mrs. Atherton herself is one of these women"

"Sonnet 29", William Shakespeare

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Within the bold section, which word has a denotative meaning of "you?"

Question 9 (Matching Worth 4 points)

From a letter to Fanny Brawne, from John Keats.

July 3, 1819

Ask yourself my love whether you are not very cruel to have so entrammelled me, so destroyed my freedom. Will you confess this in the Letter you must write immediately, and do all you can to console me in it—make it rich as a draught of poppies to intoxicate me—write the softest words and kiss them that I may at least touch my lips where yours have been. For myself I know not how to express my devotion to so fair a form: I want a brighter word than bright, a fairer word than fair. I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days—three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain. But however selfish I may feel, I am sure I could never act selfishly: as I told you a day or two before I left Hampstead, I will never return to London if my Fate does not turn up Pam or at least a Court-card. Though I could centre my Happiness in you, I cannot expect to engross your heart so entirely—indeed if I thought you felt as much for me as I do for you at this moment I do not think I could restrain myself from seeing you again tomorrow for the delight of one embrace.

"Though I could centre my Happiness in you, I cannot expect to engross your heart so entirely"

D) "write a letter that is filled with your deepest feelings and thoughts so that I can feel elated from reading it"



From "To Build a Fire" by Jack London

Day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main Yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. It was a steep bank, and

he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. It was nine o'clock. There was no sun nor hint of sun, though there was not a cloud in the sky. It was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, a subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun.

Read the following passages and answer the question below.

From "The Tell Tale Heart," by Edgar Allan Poe

No doubt I now grew very pale; -- but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased–and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound–much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath–and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly––more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men–but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do?

From Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

She left me, and I continued some time walking up and down the passages of the house, and inspecting every corner that might afford a retreat to my adversary. But I discovered no trace of him, and was beginning to conjecture that some fortunate chance had intervened to prevent the execution of his menaces, when suddenly I heard a shrill and dreadful scream. It came from the room into which Elizabeth had retired. As I heard it, the whole truth rushed into my mind, my arms dropped, the motion of every

muscle and fibre was suspended; I could feel the blood trickling in my veins and tingling in the extremities of my limbs. This state lasted but for an instant; the scream was repeated, and I rushed into the room.

The two underlined parts in each passage are used by the respective authors to evoke what feeling?

From A Book About the Theater by Brander Matthews

At the end of the nineteenth century the two masters of the stage were Ibsen and Wagner, and both of them were in the show business—Wagner more openly and more frequently than Ibsen. Yet the stern Scandinavian did not disdain to employ an avalanche in 'When We Dead Awaken,' and to introduce a highly pictorial shawl dance for the heroine of his 'Doll's House.' As for Wagner, he was incessant in his search for the spectacular, insisting that the music-drama was the "art-work of the future," since the librettist-composer could call to his aid all the other arts, and could make these arts contribute to the total effect of the opera.

To what or whom does the selection in bold refer?

Ibsen

Wagner

A play

The stage

Read the following excerpt from Pride and Prejudice and answer the question.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters.

"My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?"

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.

"But it is," returned she; "for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it."

Mr. Bennet made no answer.

"Do you not want to know who has taken it?" cried his wife impatiently.

"You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it."

This was invitation enough.

"Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week."

"What is his name?"

"Bingley."

"Is he married or single?"

"Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!"

"How so? How can it affect them?"

Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice in 1813. Based on this excerpt, we can conclude that this society placed a great value on

remaining independent and single.

possessing multiple homes to visit.

marrying for financial security.

seeking the advice of one's spouse.
