b. “...girls were putting their heads on men’s shoulders in a puppyish, convivial way, girls were swooning backward playfully into men’s arms, even into groups, knowing that someone would arrest their falls…”
c. “Instead of rambling, this party had assumed a dignified homogeneity, and assumed to itself the function of representing the staid nobility of the countryside--East Egg condescending to West Egg, and carefully on guard against its spectroscopic gayety.”
d. “The lights grow brighter as the earth lurches away from the sun, and now the orchestra is playing yellow cocktail music, and the opera of voices pitches a key higher.”

Passage: (1) Our school needs more active student participation. If we want to keep enjoying great programs and activities, more students need to get involved.

(2) Last year, the student government sponsored one school-wide event each month. More than 50 percent of the students in our school attended at least four of these events. In addition, programs such as the peer tutoring program (“Study Buddies”) and the summer intern bulletin board are organized by student government committees and supported by student government fundraisers. At least 40 percent of the school’s students take advantage of one of these programs as well. Yet, only 10 percent of the school’s students are active in student government or serve on committees.

(3) Effective student government requires the involvement of as many students as possible. We can’t keep these programs going without your help. So if you aren’t already involved in student government, think about joining.

Question: In this passage, the author claims that student government is important. How does she support that claim?
A. by explaining the role of student government committees
B. by stating how many people take part in student government
C. by encouraging students to get involved in student government
D. by naming some of the benefits that student government provides

Read the excerpt from "Elevator Systems of the Eiffel Tower, 1889" by Robert M. Vogel.

The first complete elevator machine in the United States, constructed in 1855, was a complex and inefficient contrivance built around an oscillating-cylinder steam engine. The advantages of an elevator system independent of the mill drive quickly became apparent, and by 1860 improved steam elevator machines were being produced in some quantity, but almost exclusively for freight service. It is not clear when the first elevator was installed explicitly for passenger service, but it was probably in 1857, when Otis placed one in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.

In the decade following the Civil War, tall buildings had just begun to emerge; and, although the skylines of the world’s great cities were still dominated by church spires, there was increasing activity in the development of elevator apparatus adapted to the transportation of people as well as of merchandise. Operators of hotels and stores gradually became aware of the commercial advantages to be gained by elevating their patrons even one or two floors above the ground, by machinery. The steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry, but as building heights increased it was gradually replaced by hydraulic, and ultimately by electrical, systems.

Which statement correctly describes the order of events in the development of elevators?


A. Because hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery, Otis placed an elevator in a store on Broadway at Broome Street in New York.
B. After the first elevator was installed for passenger service, hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery.
C. When hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery, the steam engine formed the foundation of the early elevator industry.
D. As building heights increased, the steam elevator was replaced by hydraulic and electrical systems, and hotel and store operators became aware of the commercial advantages of elevating their patrons by machinery.

Read the passage from chapter 7 of Animal Farm.

As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.

Which details best support the idea that the farm is a symbol for Russia under the rule of the Communist Party? Select two options.

“as Clover looked down the hillside”
“these scenes of terror and slaughter”
“if she herself had had any picture of the future”
“had protected the lost brood of ducklings”
“come to a time when no one dared speak his mind

"Did you know that you can look like your listening when you’re not really listening at all? You already knew that. We all have this problem of dishonesty in listening. We can nod; say “mhmm” or “hmm” or “interesting.” Now all of these are cues to the speaker that we are actively engaged in listening, but in reality, we are a thousand miles away in thoughts. Let’s be honest listeners. Go beyond hearing the stream of sound coming out of the speaker’s mouth to truly listen to what he is saying. You never know, you might just learn something.

answer the following question.
The main idea is best expressed as _____.
1 - active listening requires attentive body language
2 - appearing to listen is not the same thing as actually listening
3 - providing feedback such as "Um-hum" or "interesting" indicates that you are listening
