“Birth of an Anthem”



1 When the United States entered the conflict in 1812, France and Britain, two of Europe’s most powerful countries, had been battling since 1793. President James Madison declared war to protect American ships from the constant search and seizures conducted by the British and French. During this time, American seamen were captured and forced to serve in the British navy.

2 In 1814, Francis Scott Key, an American lawyer and poet, boarded a British frigate under a truce to arrange for the release of Dr. William Beanes, who had been imprisoned by the British due to his arrest of British soldiers during the attack on Washington, D.C. While onboard, Key witnessed the British bombardment of nearby Fort McHenry. The battle was so intense that smoke made it impossible to see. When the smoke cleared, Key saw the United States flag still waving vigilantly over the fort. This vision inspired the words to a poem called “The Star-Spangled Banner.””

3 After a Boston newspaper featured the poem, it soon became popular. Ironically, it was set to the tune of a popular song created by a British composer. “The Star-Spangled Banner” did not become the United States national anthem until 1931, when Congress established it as such.

The author of the passage assumes that the reader will know which of the following before reading the passage:

Your answer:

what the “conflict” is that the United States Entered in 1812.


the tunes of popular songs in 1800.


that Francis Scott Key was a lawyer and a poet.

She said with a sarcastic like tone.

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine
Jean Hopping.
Which statement best describes Hopping's viewpoint
and purpose in this excerpt?
The Hunley recovery team planned to display Diane's
casts in a museum that was about to be built. But did the
casts belong in a public exhibit? Some people objected
to displaying soldiers' remains—even though they were
plastic replicas. Diane saw nothing wrong with it. In fact,
she had no qualms about showing the real bones.
"If people want to really learn about the soldiers," she
said, "you have to show the bones. The bone is a record
of a person's life, especially the last part-the
circumstances of death."
How and why did the Hunley sink? What can we learn
about the lives—and deaths of its ill-fated crew?
Scientists will likely be investigating the answers for
years to come, thanks in part to Diane's casts.
O The author believes Diane France should not display
soldiers' remains, and she writes to persuade readers
to avoid visiting the museum.
The author thinks a Union warship caused the
submarine to sink, and she writes to inform readers
about the war.
The author thinks stories about the Civil War are
interesting, and she writes to entertain readers with
true war stories.
0 The author believes Diane France's work in making
bone casts has helped many scientists, and she
writes to give details about her experiences.

Lascaux is an underground cave in France. It served as shelter for people as long ago as 1500 BCE. Adorned by over 1,500 engravings and 600 paintings made by ancient dwellers, Lascaux consists of many rooms. Oxen, horses, and red deer are depicted on the cave's walls. One room in Lascaux is especially stunning and is referred to as the "bull room." The bull room features four 15-foot-long (4.6-meter-long) paintings of bulls. Archaeologists found remnants of ladders and scaffolding, presumably used to create such large paintings. There is only one painting that portrays a human form. It is of a bird-headed man killing a bull.

Read this excerpt from Welty's "A Visit of Charity":
Marian stood enclosed by a bed, a washstand and a chair;
the tiny room had altogether too much furniture. Everything
smelled wet- even the bare floor. She held on to the back
of the chair, which was wicker and felt soft and damp. Her
heart beat more and more slowly, her hands got colder and
colder, and she could not hear whether the old women
were saying anything or not. She could not see them very
clearly. How dark it was! The window shade was down,
and the only door was shut. Marian looked at the ceiling...
. It was like being caught in a robbers' cave, just before one
was murdered.
Which narrative technique does Welty use to slow down the
pace of the story?
A. Short sentences
B. Dialogue
C. Detailed description
D. Action
