STEVE

(raising his voice)

There's something you can do, Charlie. You could go home and keep your mouth shut. You could quit strutting around like a self-appointed hanging judge and just climb into bed and forget it.

CHARLIE

You sound real anxious to have that happen, Steve. I think we better keep our eye on you too!

DON

(as if he were taking the bit in his teeth, takes a hesitant step to the front)

I think everything might as well come out now.

Your wife's done plenty of talking, Steve, about how odd you are!

Go ahead, tell us what she's said.

STEVE

Go ahead, what's my wife said? Let's get it all out. Let's pick out every idiosyncrasy of every single man, woman, and child on the street. And then we might as well set up some kind of a kangaroo court. How about a firing squad at dawn, Charlie, so we can get rid of all the suspects. Narrow them down. Make it easier for you.

DON

There's no need gettin' so upset, Steve. It's just that . . . well . . . Myra's talked about how there's been plenty of nights you spent hours down in your basement workin' on some kind of radio or something. Well, none of us have ever seen that radio—

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 Arawaks, they had no permanent chiefs or leaders

What is the name of Cuba's dictator in the book refugee

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.

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 suggests that Aengus misses the life he had when he was a young boy.


It shows he is trying to get in touch with the beauty and life he caught a glimpse of.


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.

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!”
