Excerpt from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

matter. That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly. There was things which he stretched, but
mainly he told the truth. That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the
widow, or maybe Mary. Aunt Polly-- Tom's Aunt Polly, she is--and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book,
which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before.

Based on the dialect in the passage, what can you infer about the character of Huckleberry Finn?

A)He is a thief

B)He is not intelligent

C)He does not know how to write

D)He has had little formal education

One might argue that all athletes deserve a trophy because they were part of a team and tried their best to win each game. The reality, however, is that it is just as important for people to learn about defeat as it is to learn about winning. By providing every player with a trophy at the end of the season, sports leagues are setting up athletes for disappointment in the long run.

Which TWO sentences should be added to the end of paragraph 2 to support the idea that athletes should not receive an award simply for participating?
A. Being able to cope with not being recognized as the winner is an important skill that applies to situations in life outside of sports.
B. Buying trophies for every single person on a team is expensive and parents and organizations cannot afford to keep it up any longer.
C. If every participant gets a trophy for trying their best during a sporting event, kids may start to think every student will get an A for trying their best on a test.
E. It is the responsibility of the parents to teach their children how to be good sports and lose with dignity.
F. If young athletes are only interested in their sport because of the trophy at the end of the season, that is the bigger problem.

Martin Luther King Jr. often spoke of a day in the future when he hoped that his children would be judged not by their skin color but instead by their character.

My next challenge was that I wanted to make things out of metal, so I became interested in how to use a lathe, a milling machine, and so on. I went to buy this new equipment I thought I'd need and met a man who had a machine shop of his own who was about to retire and move to Florida. He allowed me to visit him after school and on weekends to observe how he used all his tools. I was hooked. When he retired I bought not only all his big equipment but all his little toolboxes as well – they were treasures!

—“On Becoming an Inventor,”
Dean Kamen

Read this passage. Use details from the text to explain how Kamen supports his opinion that making things out of metal was enjoyable.

Read this stanza from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more."

How does what happens in this stanza propel the action in the poem?


It gives the speaker a reason to speak to the raven.


It introduces the story and sets up the coming events.

It establishes why Lenore has left the speaker alone.

It resolves the main conflict of the story.

When I am the nominee, I will offer a clear choice. John McCain won't be able to say that I ever supported this war in Iraq, because I opposed it from the beginning. Senator McCain said the other day that we might be mired for a hundred years in Iraq, which is reason enough to not give him four years in the White House.

If we had chosen a different path, the right path, we could have finished the job in Afghanistan, and put more resources into the fight against bin Laden; and instead, of spending hundreds of billions of dollar in Baghdad, we could have put that money into our schools and hospitals, our road and bridges - and that's what the American people need us to do right now.
