Read this paragraph from the essay.

I have now been in India for over two years and a half after my return from South Africa. Over one quarter of that time I have passed on the Indian trains travelling third class by choice. I have travelled up north as far as Lahore, down south up to Tranquebar, and from Karachi to Calcutta. Having resorted to third class travelling, among other reasons, for the purpose of studying the conditions under which this class of passengers travel, I have naturally made as critical observations as I could. I have fairly covered the majority of railway systems during this period. Now and then I have entered into correspondence with the management of the different railways about the defects that have come under my notice. But I think that the time has come when I should invite the press and the public to join in a crusade against a grievance which has too long remained unredressed, though much of it is capable of redress without great difficulty.

How does the author's decision to use the word crusade to describe a protest movement affect the text?


A.) It makes the protest sound especially strong and committed.

B.) It adds an element of irony to the description of the protest.

C.) It implies that the protesters will not back down, no matter what.

D.) It suggests that there is a religious reason behind the protest.

Someone said “shin” again,
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
A kicking of feet, and the fit
Of laughter overtook me too,
And that was important, as important
As Joe Barone asking me how I was
Through his tears, picking me up
And dusting me off with hands like swatters,
And though my head felt heavy,
I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
“Yours” and “take it,” but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set.
“Hum baby” sweetly on my lips.

3. Blaine opened up the present and began pouting. He screamed in a high-pitched voice, "This is Captain Thunder! I
wanted Captain Lightning!" His mother looked at him with dismay and handed him another present, which he
greedily opened. "Why did you get me a red hat? You know I like blue more," Blaine whined as he threw the hat
across the room. His mother straightened her expression and squinted at him. Earlier she had hoped to take some
pictures of this moment, but by now she had put away her camera. She sighed and handed him one more present in
hopes that this year wouldn't be a total bust. Blaine huffed and opened it. "A Game Box 4000... Wow. Where's the
Game Box 5000 that I asked for?" His mother could bear his ingratitude no longer. The next time that Blaine returned
from his father's house, he was shocked to find that all of these toys and gifts, along with many other of his things,

Question 4
Paragraph 4 contains an allusion to scientist Albert Einstein. What is the author implying by the allusion?
Select one:

Like Einstein, bees are intelligent and can perform intellectual tasks

Like Einstein, bees are known to have a keen sense of direction

Like Einstein, bees are thought to be social insects that live in groups

Like Einstein, bees are known to have a large brain
Bees are a favorite experimental creature for researchers because they are easy to breed and are considered the “Einstein” of the insect world. These striped geniuses perform intellectual feats that cannot be taken for granted, even among mammals. Bees can count, distinguish between objects like humans and dogs, recognize complex shapes, learn things, navigate across great distances and remember their routes, and return to their hives and tell other bees exactly where the tastiest flowers are. Compare that with the difficulties humans can have when finding their way around an unfamiliar city without a map—not to mention having to describe to friends the route they took. “Brain size is not necessarily an indicator of intelligence,” says bee researcher Lars Chittka at Queen Mary, University of London. “Larger brains usually utilize the same circuits over and over again. This might make for more detailed thinking or remembering, but it doesn’t guarantee the thoughts or memories will be better.”
