"So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself almost a garment for her. And then she did it up again nervously and quickly. Once she faltered for a minute and stood still while a tear or two splashed on the worn red carpet.

On went her old brown jacket; on went her old brown hat. With a whirl of skirts and with the brilliant sparkle still in her eyes, she fluttered out the door and down the stairs to the street."

What does the author’s choice of diction indicate about the way Della felt abut her hair?

She stuffed it under a brown hat so she wasn’t too proud.

Read these lines from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi:
This ["cub"-engineer] had money, too, and hair oil. . . . If ever a youth was cordially admired and hated by his comrades, this one was. No girl could withstand his charms. He "cut out" every boy in the village. When his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. But when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of Providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism.
What is one effect of the irony in this passage?

A.
It makes fun of the notion that the "cub"-engineer held a popular job but was popular only because of the accident.

B.
It pokes fun at the unexpected outcome of the accident: The "cub"-engineer is now even more desirable.

C.
It exaggerates the appeal of the "cub"-engineer and the effect he has on girls and boys in the village.

D.
It creates humor in that God's favor seems unpredictable and unexplainable to the young boys.

In 1786 the American inventor John Fitch began operating a steamship on the Delaware River, but his venture failed financially and it wasn't for several years that another American, Robert Fulton, launched the first successful steamship, the Clermont, running between Albany and New York. Between these two nautical milestones a Cornish inventor, Richard Trevithick, built a steam locomotive that pulled a coal train, but it was too expensive to operate and not commercially successful. The first commercially successful locomotive was built by George Stephenson before a ship called the Royal William crossed the ocean for the first time entirely by steam, but after the Clermont was already operating. Steam-propelled vehicles can be traced back to Fernand Verbiest, who built a toy cart with a steam turbine. And about 100 years later, but still before Fitch's steamship, a French inventor, Nicholas Cugnot, ran a steam locomotive on the road.
a. Cugnot, Fitch, Verbiest, Trevithick, Fulton

c. Verbiest, Fitch, Trevithick, Fulton, Cugnot

roots are useful. When baked until brown and brittle, they can be ground up to make a hot drink similar to coffee.

poisons on their lawns.

Read the paragraph from John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address.

To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.

To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom—and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.

To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required—not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

Which statement best explains how Kennedy uses a rhetorical technique to support his message?

He uses a logical appeal to explain why the United States will promote democracy worldwide.
He uses parallelism to reach out to different countries around the world.
He uses repetition to emphasize change on the horizon for people who are struggling.
He uses a false dilemma to contrast the worldwide impact of democracy and communism.

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.
