[BRUTUS.] And to speak truth of Caesar,
I have not known when his affections swayed
More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend. So Caesar may.
Then lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel
Will bear no colour for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
Would run to these and these extremities;
And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg
Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous,
And kill him in the shell.

Which piece of evidence best supports the theme that power can corrupt people?

"lowliness is young ambition's ladder, / Whereto the climber-upward turns his face"
"scorning the base degrees / By which he did ascend"
"I have not known when his affections swayed / More than his reason"
"the quarrel / Will bear no colour for the thing he is"

Answer: scorning the base degrees / By which he did ascend"

Explanation:

The piece of evidence best supports the theme that power can corrupt people is "scorning the base degrees / By which he did ascend".

When people attain power, most tend to forget their root and the people who helped them when they didn't have the power. They tend to become proud and not as humble as they were before. This is illustrated in the passage as scorning the base degrees by which he ascend.

The correct option is B.

Read the excerpt below from Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton and answer the question that follows.

They finished supper, and while Mattie cleared the table Ethan went to look at the cows and then took a last turn about the house. The earth lay dark under a muffled sky and the air was so still that now and then he heard a lump of snow come thumping down from a tree far off on the edge of the wood-lot.
When he returned to the kitchen Mattie had pushed up his chair to the stove and seated herself near the lamp with a bit of sewing. The scene was just as he had dreamed of it that morning. He sat down, drew his pipe from his pocket and stretched his feet to the glow. His hard day’s work in the keen air made him feel at once lazy and light of mood, and he had a confused sense of being in another world, where all was warmth and harmony and time could bring no change. The only drawback to his complete well-being was the fact that he could not see Mattie from where he sat; but he was too indolent to move and after a moment he said: “Come over here and sit by the stove.”
Zeena’s empty rocking-chair stood facing him. Mattie rose obediently, and seated herself in it. As her young brown head detached itself against the patch-work cushion that habitually framed his wife’s gaunt countenance, Ethan had a momentary shock. It was almost as if the other face, the face of the superseded woman, had obliterated that of the intruder. After a moment Mattie seemed to be affected by the same sense of constraint. She changed her position, leaning forward to bend her head above her work, so that he saw only the foreshortened tip of her nose and the streak of red in her hair; then she slipped to her feet, saying “I can’t see to sew,” and went back to her chair by the lamp. Ethan made a pretext of getting up to replenish the stove, and when he returned to his seat he pushed it sideways that he might have a view of her profile and of the lamplight falling on her hands. The cat, who had been a puzzled observer of these unusual movements, jumped up into Zeena’s chair, rolled itself into a ball, and lay watching them with narrowed eyes.

Mattie most likely moves out of Zeena’s chair and back to her chair by the stove because
A.
the cat’s watchful eyes made her uncomfortable
B.
sitting so close to Ethan mader her uncomfortable
C.
she could not see to sew
D.
sitting in Zeena’s chair seemed to bring out that woman’s presence in the room, making Mattie uncomfortable
E.
she was cold

To Vaccinate or Not to Vaccinate

The debate over whether people should receive vaccinations has been around for a long time. Public resistance to vaccinations has occurred for as long as vaccinations have been available. People who are opposed to vaccines worry that they cause health issues in individuals, especially children. Medical professionals worldwide, however, agree that vaccinations are safe, effective, and necessary.
A vaccine is a substance used to create antibodies and boost the immune system against certain diseases. The ingredients in a vaccine may contain a very small piece of a disease-causing germ, or they may contain a form of the germ that is dead or very weak. Because vaccines contain strains of a disease, some people think that they might catch the disease or become ill. However, that is not the case. The germs in vaccines do not pose a risk. The human body reacts to the vaccine by making antibodies. This is helpful because antibodies help fight diseases that are caused by germs.
Some people claim that vaccines are not safe because they contain harmful ingredients. People worry that the mercury and aluminum found in some vaccines are linked to life-threatening side effects. However, public health organizations such as the Centers for Disease control (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stress that the ingredients in vaccines are safe. The amount of chemical additives in a vaccine is very small, and the ingredients are controlled by scientists. Vaccines contain only trace amounts of chemical additives, so they pose little or no risk to the majority of people. In fact, on a daily basis, people are exposed to more bacteria, viruses, and toxins than what is contained in a vaccine. Parents should however be aware of the ingredients in a vaccine just in case their children have had a prior history of allergic reactions.
Ultimately, people should take the time to educate themselves about the pros and cons of vaccines. The evidence will show that the risks are minuscule and only pose a risk to a very small portion of the population. Statistics show that most vaccines are more than 90% effective in preventing diseases. Vaccines save millions of children every year from preventable diseases. When most of the population is vaccinated against contagious diseases, the entire community will be more protected. Polio and smallpox are two examples of diseases that have been eliminated through widespread vaccination. However, when people are not vaccinated, they are at risk of catching diseases that others are immune to. These people can also spread contagious diseases and put the entire community at risk.

A Big Year
By Bob Kowalski

Would you go to the ends of the earth to see a bird? What if it were a really special bird: one with beautiful feathers, an entrancing call, or a silly dance? What if seeing that one special bird would allow you to win a contest?

If that contest doesn't get you on television or win you any cash prizes, would you still do it? For those who participate in the "Big Year," the honor of beating the previous record is the only reward they get or even want.

A "Big Year" is a year in which a person attempts to see as many different species of birds as possible within a particular region. For most in North America who participate in a "Big Year," this region is the lower 48 American states, plus Alaska, Canada, and a couple of French islands off the Canadian coast.

You may be thinking that looking at birds is silly, but just think about the numbers of the recent record holders and the commitment it takes to get these numbers. One recent "Big Year" winner managed to see 744 birds in one year, missing the record by just one bird. Big Year birders travel by train, plane, boat, car, bicycle, and of course, by foot. They can cover over 150 thousand miles to get numbers of sightings this high. They can also spend a small fortune.

Just to clarify, the birds these contestants are counting are the number that they see in a particular year. You see, the contest is based on an honor system. No pictures or other evidence is required as proof of a sighting. Most birders take great pride in their reputation and their abilities to see or hear and then identify a bird. Usually, important sightings of the rare birds needed to get counts in the 700s are visited by hundreds of birders. It is pretty hard to cheat your way to a record-breaking year, but in general, few are interested in cheating.

This honesty comes from the fact that most people who want to break such a record know the greatest rewards are not necessarily in winning. Such rewards are in being able to commit a year of your life to doing something you love. Rewards are found in seeing amazing, inspiring creatures like the California Condor or the Magnificent Frigate bird. Rewards also come in spending time with people who, like you, want to spend their time looking to the skies and trees for glimpses of emerald, crimson, or cerulean blue feathered jewels.

You don't have to be able to travel a continent to have a big birding experience though. Have a big month. Or a big weekend. Set a personal record, learn to identify the species that live in your part of the world, or try to learn the calls of just two species of birds. You will soon find looking at birds isn't such a strange way to spend your time.

Extra! Extra! Backyard Birding
Many schools, families, and young birders across the country participate in the "Great Backyard Bird Count." While not as long as a "Big Year," the "Great Backyard Bird Count" happens every year. It depends on birders and families across the country to watch feeders and other areas in their yards and count the number of birds they see. Unlike the "Big Year," the goal is not to see who can count the most birds. Instead, participants in this event work together to help bird experts get a good idea of how birds are doing. Participants are given checklists and enter their sightings on a website. Called a "citizen-science" project, this event is open to anyone, requires no travel, and happens every year over one weekend in February.
