Read the excerpt from a creative nonfiction assignment.
The dog trotted behind me as I hiked through the woods.
A dog is a loyal companion, I thought to myself, even
when the person it's loyal to is a total stranger. Up
ahead, I saw my old friend, Lake Tasika. I looked at the
dog. He looked at me, tail waving. I looked at the lake. It
looked back at me. "Jump in," it said in cool laps against
the bank, though I'd never jumped in before. "Why not?" I
said aloud to the dog. The dog barked his affirmation,
though I was no expert on the meaning behind dog
barks. I dropped my pack and ran.
How does the author's use of parallelism contribute to
the mood of the excerpt?
O It creates an eager mood by repeating actions taken
and observed by the narrator.
O It creates an annoyed mood by showing how the
narrator views the dog as a nuisance.
O It creates a serene mood by emphasizing the solace
and joy the lake provides to the narrator.
O It creates a lonely mood by imitating an echo
sometimes found near a remote mountain lake.

What rhetorical device is used in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The Danger of Lying in Bed"?


The man in the ticket-office said:


"Have an accident insurance ticket, also?"


"No," I said, after studying the matter over a little. "No, I believe not; I am going to be traveling by rail all day today. However, tomorrow I don't travel. Give me one for tomorrow."


The man looked puzzled. He said:


"But it is for accident insurance, and if you are going to travel by rail—"


"If I am going to travel by rail I sha'n't need it. Lying at home in bed is the thing I am afraid of."


I had been looking into this matter. Last year I traveled twenty thousand miles, almost entirely by rail; the year before, I traveled over twenty-five thousand miles, half by sea and half by rail; and the year before that I traveled in the neighborhood of ten thousand miles, exclusively by rail. I suppose if I put in all the little odd journeys here and there, I may say I have traveled sixty thousand miles during the three years I have mentioned. AND NEVER AN ACCIDENT.

Read the excerpt from-Frederick Douglass's speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?"
Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World,
travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the
side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and
shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.
What is one way that Douglass achieves his purpose of persuading the reader to see his point of view?
• by relating as many facts and statistics to the reader as possible
• by using familiar and casual language to make the reader feel comfortable
O by using gentle language to evoke : sense of calm and tranquility

Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question.

"For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone.

But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it."

Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on."

The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi."

What is the purpose of the author’s description of the beauty of the combs?

The author wants the reader to understand Jim’s disappointment in Della.
The author is emphasizing the sense of loss that Della must feel when she realizes she can’t use them.
The author is contrasting Della's poverty with her extravagant tastes.
This description is included as a part of the setting of the story.

Read the passage from "Children of the Wartime Evacuation.”

It was codenamed Operation Pied Piper. Who on earth came up with that name? Not a mother, that is certain. After all, the piper leads the children of Hamelin away from the town, never to return.

Most returned, but how they had changed and how the separation affected their relationships with their families is seldom considered.
