Read the excerpt from Alexander the Great’s speech at Opis.


What I shall say to you now, Macedonians, is not an attempt to counteract your desire for home—as far as I am concerned you can go wherever you wish. But if you do go I want you to understand on what terms you are leaving—what I have done for you, and how you have treated me in response. I shall begin necessarily with my father Philip. When Philip took you in hand you were a collection of impoverished nomads, most of you dressed in skins and herding a few sheep and goats on the mountains: you were fighting a losing battle to keep them out of the hands of the Illyrians and Triballians and the Thracians on your borders.

What is Alexander’s primary purpose in this excerpt?

to inform his soldiers that he does not mind if they leave
to persuade his soldiers that they needed Philip to help them
to persuade his soldiers to reconsider returning home
to inform his soldiers about what Philip did for them in the past

Answer:

to persuade his soldiers to reconsider returning home

Explanation:

Gus McCallister lived on a ranch in the shadow of Snowy Mountain his entire life. The
ranch had been in his family for generations. Recently, Gus had been watching and reading
reports that showed how Snowy Mountain, an active volcano that would occasionally
rumble over the years, was now showing signs of erupting. Scientists ran tests and found
that the volcano could erupt at any minute. Local authorities ordered an evacuation of all
residents. But Gus didn't leave. When Sheriff Ramirez visited Gus to explain that he should
evacuate for his own safety, Gus replied, "I've lived on this ranch my entire life. Old Snowy
Mountain has complained over the years, but it's never burst out. I know the old mountain
better than those scientists. So, I'm not goin' anywhere." Sheriff Ramirez pleaded with him,
but Gus wouldn't budge.
Three days later, the volcano erupted. A huge ash cloud covered the area, raining thick ash
down. Gus tried to escape on foot, but he became lost in the thick ash. Luckily, Sheriff
Ramirez arrived at the ranch and led Gus to safety. "You were right, sheriff," Gus said,
panting. "I should have listened."

Underwater wonder
on
The Mexican government has paid an artist
to make 8,000 statues - all to be dumped
the sea bed. Why? In an attempt to
save an endangered coral reef off the coast at
Cancún, which suffers from repeated attack by
hurricanes and is therefore at risk and needs
protecting from anything which may further
damage it. The statues of human figures now
form the world's largest underwater sculpture
display, 10 metres below the sea surface, which
can be seen from boats passing above it. The
statues are made from a specially hard and
non-toxic form of clay. The first statues were
lowered in 2006 and the site was declared open
in 2009. The statues show human forms engaged
in day-to-day activities, such as watching TV and
driving a car. After being lowered to the sea
bed, they are covered with coral to encourage
growth. The aim is to tempt divers away from the
MesoAmerican or Manchones reef, the second
longest coral chain in the world, to prevent
further destruction to its delicate environment.
There are now 500 statues, created and sunk
over a period of 7 years by 38-year-old Jason
de Caires Taylor, a British-Guyanese artist. It has
been rated by National Geographic magazine
as a contemporary Wonder of the World. The
Cancún National Marine Park attracts 750,000
visitors annually. Taylor's target is to sink 8,000
statues in all; it will take several more years to
achieve the conservation project. Not all the
locals agree that this is a worthwhile endeavour,
and some are concerned that it will attract
even more divers to the area, many of whom
are inexperienced. They believe that instead of
protecting the environment, this artificial reef
will actually damage it further.

by Jane Austen (excerpt)

In this excerpt from Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet arrives at the country home of the Bingleys where her sister Jane, a guest of the Bingleys has fallen ill. After Elizabeth leaves the dining room, her hosts and Mr. Darcy begin talking about her.

(1) When dinner was over, she returned directly to Jane, and Miss Bingley began [criticizing] her as soon as she was out of the room. Her manners were pronounced to be very bad indeed, a mixture of pride and impertinence1; she had no conversation, no style, no taste, no beauty. Mrs. Hurst thought the same, and added,

(2) "She has nothing, in short, to recommend her, but being an excellent walker. I shall never forget her appearance this morning. She really looked almost wild."

(3) "She did indeed, Louisa. I could hardly keep my countenance2 . Very nonsensical to come at all! Why must she be scampering3 about the country, because her sister had a cold? Her hair so untidy, so blowsy!4 "

(4) "Yes, and her petticoat; I hope you saw her petticoat, six inches deep in mud, I am absolutely certain; and the gown which had been let down to hide it, not doing its office.5"

(5) "Your picture may be very exact, Louisa," said Bingley; "but this was all lost upon me. I thought Miss Elizabeth Bennet looked remarkably well, when she came into the room this morning. Her dirty petticoat quite escaped my notice."

(6) "You observed it, Mr. Darcy, I am sure," said Miss Bingley; "and I am inclined to think that you would not wish to see your sister make such an exhibition."

(7) "Certainly not."

(8) "To walk three miles, or four miles, or five miles, or whatever it is, above her ancles [ankles] in dirt, and alone, quite alone! What could she mean by it? It seems to me to shew [show] an abominable6 sort of conceited independence, a most country town indifference to decorum.7"

(9) "It shews an affection for her sister that is very pleasing," said Bingley . . .

(10) "I have an excessive regard for Jane Bennet, she is really a very sweet girl, and I wish with all my heart she were well settled. But with such a father and mother, and such low connections, I am afraid there is no chance of it."

(11) "I think I have heard you say, that their uncle is an attorney in Meryton."

(12) "Yes; and they have another, who lives somewhere near Cheapside. . . ."

(13) "If they had uncles enough to fill all Cheapside," cried Bingley, "it would not make them one jot less agreeable."

(14) "But it must very materially lessen their chance of marrying men of any consideration in the world," replied Darcy.

(15) To this speech Bingley made no answer; but his sisters gave it their hearty assent, and indulged their mirth8 for some time at the expense of their dear friend's vulgar9 relations.

(16) On entering the drawing-room [Elizabeth] found the whole party at loo10, and was immediately invited to join them; but suspecting them to be playing high11 she declined it, and making her sister the excuse, said she would amuse herself for the short time she could stay below with a book. Mr. Hurst looked at her with astonishment.

(17) "Do you prefer reading to cards?" said he; "that is rather singular."

(18) "Miss Eliza Bennet," said Miss Bingley, "despises cards. She is a great reader and has no pleasure in anything else."

(19) "I deserve neither such praise nor such censure,12" cried Elizabeth; "I am not a great reader, and I have pleasure in many things."

(20) "In nursing your sister I am sure you have pleasure," said Bingley; "and I hope it will soon be increased by seeing her quite well."

(21) Elizabeth thanked him from her heart, and then walked towards a table where a few books were lying. He immediately offered to fetch her others; all that his library afforded.

(22) "And I wish my collection were larger for your benefit and my own credit; but I am an idle fellow, and though I have not many, I have more than I ever look into."

(23) Elizabeth assured him that she could suit herself perfectly with those in the room.

Read the section from Chapter 1 of Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse.

In the shade of the house, in the sunshine of the riverbank near the boats, in the shade of the Sal-wood forest, in the shade of the fig tree is where Siddhartha grew up, the handsome son of the Brahman, the young falcon, together with his friend Govinda, son of a Brahman. The sun tanned his light shoulders by the banks of the river when bathing, performing the sacred ablutions, the sacred offerings. In the mango grove, shade poured into his black eyes, when playing as a boy, when his mother sang, when the sacred offerings were made, when his father, the scholar, taught him, when the wise men talked. For a long time, Siddhartha had been partaking in the discussions of the wise men, practising debate with Govinda, practising with Govinda the art of reflection, the service of meditation. He already knew how to speak the Om silently, the word of words, to speak it silently into himself while inhaling, to speak it silently out of himself while exhaling, with all the concentration of his soul, the forehead surrounded by the glow of the clear-thinking spirit. He already knew to feel Atman in the depths of his being, indestructible, one with the universe.

Using your knowledge of context clues, how does the line He already knew to feel Atman in the depths of his being, indestructible, one with the universe help describe Siddhartha's character?

Siddhartha is dedicated to his job.
Siddhartha shows allegiance to his religion.
Siddhartha struggles with impatience and inactivity.
Siddhartha is sensitive and receptive to spiritual teachings.

Select the best evidence to support the statement "It was ultimately determined that the segregation present in Boston schools had been created by those in power." There may be more than one correct choice.


Forty years ago, a group of parents filed a formal complaint in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts. The case, heard by Federal Judge W. Arthur Garrity, begins with this simple sentence: "This is a class action brought by black children attending the Boston public schools and their parents." Tallulah Morgan et al. v. James W. Hennigan et al., United States District Court Civil Action Case File No. 72-911-G-known as the Boston schools desegregation case-occupies fifty-four large storage boxes in the National Archives at Boston. The case was presented over a period of two years, and on June 21, 1974, Garrity ruled that the School Committee of the City of Boston had "intentionally brought about and maintained racial segregation" in the Boston public schools.
