1300s, they were defeated and forced to abandon the island by a hostile tribe of Indians originating in
South America. This new tribe was called the Carib. The Caribbean Sea was named after them. Unlike

The Song of Wandering Aengus

by William Butler Yeats

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Read these lines from "The Song of Wandering Aengus."

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,

How does Aengus's continued search for the girl affect the meaning in the poem?

It reflects his obsession with a woman he once knew and cannot forget.


It reflects his desire to recreate an odd experience he once had.

PASSAGE

Raising the Driving Age
Should the driving age be raised to 18?

Alarmed by car accidents involving teenagers, a number of states are considering raising the age for getting a license.



YES
(1) On December 29, 2005, four teenage boys from Chicago went out for a late-night drive and had a terrible accident. (2) The car spun out of control and struck several objects, including a giant light pole. (3) Two of the boys—a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old—were killed. (4) The driver of the car was just 16.

(5) The answer is raising the driving age. (6) That's why I introduced legislation to raise the driving age in Illinois from 16 to 18. (7) I realize this idea is controversial, so I could not stand by and watch one more young person die because he or she was not quite ready to be behind the wheel.

(8) All 50 states prohibit 16-year-olds from drinking alcohol, buying cigarettes, and purchasing handguns. (9) Yet somehow most states are willing to put them in charge of a car, which could potentially be a deadly weapon.

(10) Between 1995 and 2004, there were 30,917 fatalities in accidents that involved 15-to-17-year-old drivers, according to a study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. (11) About a third of those deaths were the teen drivers themselves. (12) The rest were pedestrians, passengers, and people in cars that teenage drivers struck.

(13) As an Illinois lawmaker, I cannot sit back and watch more innocent lives be claimed because of lack of experience. (14) Raising the driving age may seem burdensome to parents and busy teens, but we have to remember that this is a proposal about safety, not convenience.

—Representative John D'Amico
Democrat, Illinois State Legislature



NO
(15) If your neighbor robs a bank, should you go to jail? (16) No. (17) If your classmate gets in an accident, should your driver's license be taken away? (18) Of course not. (19) Neither situation is fair. (20) Raising the driving age will punish all young drivers for the mistakes of a few of there peers. (21) In this country we live by the principle of innocent until proven guilty. (22) Those who want to raise the driving age have labeled teens guilty before they've gotten in an accident or before they've even stepped into a car. (23) They believe that just because of your birth date, you are dangerous and must be punished by having your ability to drive taken from you.

(24) Those who favor raising the driving age say that statistics show teenagers are more likely to get into accidents than adults. (25) What they don't say is that statistics also show that men of all ages are 77 percent more likely to kill someone while driving than women. (26) If people want to save lives by raising the driving age then how about saving lives by allowing only women to drive? (27) Of course, both my mom and grandma are crazy drivers, and they shouldn’t even be allowed out on the road.

(28) Except raising the driving age won't save lives. (29) Studies show that it is inexperience, not age, that causes accidents. (30) Raising the driving age will just create inexperienced, accident-prone drivers at 18 instead of 16.

(31) Teens need the ability to drive just as much as anyone else—to get to school, to get to work, to get to sports or band practice, or just to go out with their friends. (32) Cars are necessary for mobility in this country. (33) Taking that away is a large disruption to the lives of teen-agers—for no good reason.

Lin is now a senior scientist of geophysics at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in
Massachusetts, where he spends his time studying not the scurrying of small animals and
fluctuating electrical current between trees (another fabled warning sign), but seismometer
readings, GPS coordinates, and global earthquake-notification reports.
What is the purpose for including these lines?
A
The lines show that Lin is untrustworthy as an expert because he relies on his
past experiences to identify earthquakes.
B
The lines show that Lin is an expert in the field who follows scientific methods
of research - modifying his methods of observing earthquakes - which
therefore builds credibility and trust for the reader.
С
The lines help create emotional appeal because Lin changed his
understanding about the causes of earthquakes.
D
The lines help create a feeling of trust between the author and readers,
because Lin disagreed with his co-researcher on the measurement of
earthquakes and the author was willing to share this with readers.

13 Meanwhile, down below in the First Class dining saloon on D Deck, four other members of the Titanic's crew were sitting around one of the tables. The last diner had long since departed, and now the big white Jacobean room was empty except for this single group. They were dining-saloon stewards, indulging in the time-honored pastime of all stewards off duty—they were gossiping about their passengers.
14 Then, as they sat there talking, a faint grinding jar seemed to come from somewhere deep inside the ship. It was not much, but enough to break the conversation and rattle the silver that was set for breakfast next morning.
15 Steward James Johnson felt he knew just what it was. He recognized the kind of shudder a ship gives when she drops a propeller blade, and he knew this sort of mishap meant a trip back to the Harland & Wolff Shipyard at Belfast—with plenty of free time to enjoy the hospitality of the port.
16 Somebody near him agreed and sang out cheerfully, "Another Belfast trip!"
17 In the galley just to the stern, Chief Night Baker Walter Belford was making rolls for the following day. (The honor of baking fancy pastry was reserved for the day shift.) When the jolt came, it impressed Belford more strongly than Steward Johnson—perhaps because a pan of new rolls clattered off the top of the oven and scattered about the floor.
What is the best summary of paragraphs 13 through 16?
Answer choices for the above question

A. A faint shudder interrupted the conversation of four off-duty dining saloon stewards. They were excited about returning to the shipyard in Belfast.

B. In the First Class dining saloon, four off-duty stewards sat around gossiping about passengers. A weak shudder stopped them and rattled the silverware on the tables.

C. Four off-duty stewards in the First Class dining saloon sat around gossiping about passengers. A weak shudder interrupted their conversation. Steward James Johnson thought it was the sound of a dropped propeller blade and that they would have to return to the shipyard in Belfast.

D. Four off-duty stewards sat in the dining saloon and gossiped about passengers, a favorite pastime of off-duty stewards. A weak shudder interrupted their conversation and disturbed the silverware on the table. Steward James Johnson thought that the shudder was a dropped propeller blade. He knew that they would return to the Harland & Wolff Shipyard in Belfast and have time to enjoy themselves. This made one of the stewards happy, and he shouted, “Another Belfast trip!”
