In chapter 25, why can't the farmers pick the fruit?
•A. Because they are driven off their land before harvest

B. Because the fruit iS diseased

C. Because there are no workers

D. Because there is too much of it
(The grapes of wrath)

The reason why the farmers can't pick the fruit is D. Because there is too much of it.

The context of the story is base on the unfair working conditions that the migrants were subjected to, when they reach California

It is possible to see The Grapes of Wrath as a proletarian book that promotes social change by highlighting the unjust working circumstances that immigrants encounter in California. The men who control the land there try to manipulate supply and demand in order to avoid having to pay decent wages.

The Joads are a poor family of tenant farmers who were forced out of their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, changes in the agricultural business, and bank foreclosures during the Great Depression. The novel is set around this time period.

Therefore, option D is correct.

ead the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial.

(1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars.

Read the passage from "The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor.”

In the times of the Caliph Haroun-al-Raschid there lived in Bagdad a poor porter named Sindbad, who on a very hot day was sent to carry a heavy load from one end of the city to the other. Before he had accomplished half the distance he was so tired that, finding himself in a quiet street where the pavement was sprinkled with rose water, and a cool breeze was blowing, he set his burden upon the ground, and sat down to rest in the shade of a grand house. Very soon he decided that he could not have chosen a pleasanter place; a delicious perfume of aloes wood and pastilles came from the open windows and mingled with the scent of the rose water which steamed up from the hot pavement. Within the palace he heard some music, as of many instruments cunningly played, and the melodious warble of nightingales and other birds, and by this, and the appetizing smell of many dainty dishes of which he presently became aware, he judged that feasting and merry making were going on. He wondered who lived in this magnificent house which he had never seen before, the street in which it stood being one which he seldom had occasion to pass.

What is Sindbad most motivated by in this passage?

fatigue and curiosity
discomfort and peace
work and pleasure
hunger and greed

(1) I don't know whether you have ever seen a map of a person's mind. (2)Doctors sometimes draw maps of other parts of you, and your own map can become intensely interesting, but catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused, but keeps going round all the time. (3) There are zigzag lines on it, just like your temperature on a card, and these are probably roads in the island, for the Neverland is always more or less an island, with astonishing splashes of color here and there, and coral reefs and rakish-looking craft in the offing, and savages and lonely lairs, and gnomes who are mostly tailors, and caves through which a river runs, and princes with six elder brothers, and a hut fast going to decay, and one very small old lady with a hooked nose. (4) It would be an easy map if that were all, but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needle-work, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on, and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.

(5) Of course the Neverlands vary a good deal. John's, for instance, had a lagoon with flamingoes flying over it at which John was shooting, while Michael, who was very small, had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it. (6) John lived in a boat turned upside down on the sands, Michael in a wigwam, Wendy in a house of leaves deftly sewn together. (7) John had no friends, Michael had friends at night, Wendy had a pet wolf forsaken by its parents, but on the whole the Neverlands have a family resemblance, and if they stood still in a row you could say of them that they have each other's nose, and so forth. (8) On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles [simple boat]. (9) We too have been there; we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.

(10) Of all delectable islands the Neverland is the snuggest and most compact, not large and sprawly, you know, with tedious distances between one adventure and another, but nicely crammed. (11) When you play at it by day with the chairs and table-cloth, it is not in the least alarming, but in the two minutes before you go to sleep it becomes very real. (12)That is why there are night-lights.
