Richard Connell uses personification often in his short story "The Most Dangerous Game." Which line from this excerpt is an example of personification?
"I'll give him a trail to follow," muttered Rainsford, and he struck off from the rude path he had been following into the trackless wilderness. He executed a series of intricate loops; he doubled on his trail again and again, recalling all the lore of the fox hunt, and all the dodges of the fox. Night found him leg-weary, with hands and face lashed by the branches, on a thickly wooded ridge. He knew it would be insane to blunder on through the dark, even if he had the strength. His need for rest was imperative and he thought, "I have played the fox, now I must play the cat of the fable." A big tree with a thick trunk and outspread branches was near by, and, taking care to leave not the slightest mark, he climbed up into the crotch, and, stretching out on one of the broad limbs, after a fashion, rested. Rest brought him new confidence and almost a feeling of security. Even so zealous a hunter as General Zaroff could not trace him there, he told himself; only the devil himself could follow that complicated trail through the jungle after dark. But perhaps the general was a devil--

An apprehensive night crawled slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not visit Rainsford, although the silence of a dead world was on the jungle. Toward morning when a dingy gray was varnishing the sky, the cry of some startled bird focused Rainsford's attention in that direction.
Something was coming through the bush, coming slowly, carefully, coming by the same winding way Rainsford had come. He flattened himself down on the limb and, through a screen of leaves almost as thick as tapestry, he watched. . . . That which was approaching was a man.

It was General Zaroff. He made his way along with his eyes fixed in utmost concentration on the ground before him. He paused, almost beneath the tree, dropped to his knees and studied the ground. Rainsford's impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther, but he saw that the general's right hand held something metallic--a small automatic pistol.]

The example of personification from "The Most Dangerous Game." in this excerpt is: An apprehensive night crawled slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not visit Rainsford, although the silence of a dead world was in the jungle.

Personification happens while an issue or abstraction is represented as a person, in literature or art, as an anthropomorphic metaphor. Here, a night cannot be apprehensive/crawl, because it is not alive.

Thus, The example of personification in this excerpt is An apprehensive night crawling slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not visit Rainsford, although the silence of a dead world was in the jungle.

"I completed my assignment effectively" he said.​

our mountain regions are unique and beautiful places. We must preserve them for future generations. One of the most serlous threats to our
mountains is ridgetop development. Large housing developments built on steep slopes and along mountain ridges are unsightly. Also, they
adversely affect the scenic views that draw tourists to our region each year.
Who wants to drive to the mountains to see not the lovely tree-
covered outline of the gently sloping mountain ridges against the sky, but rows of houses jutting from the ridges and slopes with little or no tree
cover between them? With tourism as the biggest industry in our area, maintaining our scenic ridgelines is crucial to continued economic
success here.
Ridgetop development not only detracts from scenic mountain views and
threatens our area's top industry, it also harms the environment.
Stripping large areas to create multiple building sites removes the trees and other plants. These resources provide natural erosion barriers on
steep slopes. Large housing developments on ridges often Increase erosion and runoff into streams and rivers.

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo and study the map.

Let us go on now to tell of a large city which forms part of the province of Aden but has a petty ruler of its own. This city, which lies about 400 miles north-west of the port of Aden, is called Shihr. It is ruled by a count, who maintains strict justice in his domain. He has several cities and towns under his sway but is himself subject to the sultan of Aden. The people are Saracens and worship Mahomet. The city has a very good port; for I assure you that many merchant-ships come here well loaded with goods from India, and from here they export many goods to India. In particular they export innumerable fine chargers and sturdy pack-horses of great worth and price, on which the merchants make a handsome profit.

Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Select two key details that could be included in a summary of the myth.

a Bacchus sent Midas to the river to wash away his golden touch.
b Bacchus sometimes found his teacher Silenus missing.
c Midas could not eat because of the wish Bacchus granted.
d Midas entertained Silenus in his kingdom for ten days.
e Silenus was found by peasants and carried to Midas.

Read the excerpt from Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington

I do not believe that any state should make a law that permits an ignorant and poverty-stricken white man to vote, and prevents a black man in the same condition from voting. Such a law is not only unjust, but it will react, as all unjust laws do, in time; for the effect of such a law is to encourage the Negro to secure education and property, and at the same time it encourages the white man to remain in ignorance and poverty.

What is the author’s main claim?

Voting laws that are not enacted equally are unfair.
Unfair laws encourage people to seek higher education.
States should prohibit people from voting if they live in poverty or are uneducated.
States should not make laws allowing White men to vote while preventing Black men from voting.

Read this excerpt from James Baldwin's *Notes of a Native Son":
The day of my father's funeral had also been my
nineteenth birthday. As we drove him to the graveyard, the
spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all
around us. It seemed to me that God himself had devised,
to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally
dissonant of codas. And it seemed to me, too, that the
violence which rose all about us as my father left the world
had been devised as corrective for the pride of his eldest
son
Which sentence best explains how the structure of the excerpt supports the
author's purpose?
A. It ties Baldwin's father's funeral to his birthday and shows that the

B. It contrasts the somber mood of a funeral procession with the
happy memories Baldwin has about his father.
C. It interweaves elements of narrative and commentary to convey
the message that hatred is destructive.
D. It compares a term signifying the end of a musical piece with his
father's death to illustrate the finality of death.
