From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences. And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me. If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesn’t want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like." The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there. I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea. Which three statements from the essay illustrate how Morris feels about things? Choose one answer from each group. Type the LETTER ONLY for each answer in the correct blank.

"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Source: Frost, Robert.

Is this a good start to a story?
A little girl ducked in and through crowds. Her goal was to find food before the people she called VEPs (Very Experienced Police) could find her. She spotted bread hiding in a bag. A quick swipe and she ran. She heard the lady yelling behind her. Cars zoomed past her. She had gotten away! The police were no match for her, as she was a little speedy one. She laughed.
Steps behind her.
“Little s treet-roach!” a voice suddenly boomed, laughing hysterically.
No, she jinxed herself.
Then she heard the crackles and the whips. The police had whips. Electricity surged behind her. She had a huge scar on her back from one of those. She spotted the musty basement door, her escape. She sprinted and darted toward it. She knew there was another exit in this basement, as she had done this many times before. After staggering through the darkness a couple times, she finally found a sliver of light. She scurried towards it out the back, she sprinted to her home; an old car wreck next to an overfilled trash can. She hid in the car, panting. The AEPs ran past the alleyway, muttering to themselves. She sighed. At least her soul was not taken away by the police. At least, not yet. It was strange to her. The police controlled whether you kept your soul or not. No- your parents controlled it, if you had any of those. Many of the children had their souls sold and were on the other side of the wall that separated the soulless and the souled. You lived in the souled, if you were rich enough. The little girl was not rich at all, yet she still managed to survive with the souled. She chewed on her bread. She shivered at the thought of a VEP getting her soul.

What argument does Roosevelt make in this
passage?
Read the passage from Eleanor Roosevelt's speech
on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights.
The first two paragraphs of the amendment to
article 3 deal with the question of minorities, which
committee 3 decided required further study, and has
recommended, in a separate resolution, their
reference to the Economic and Social Council and
the Human Rights Commission. As set out in the
Soviet amendment this provision clearly states
"group," and not "individual," rights.
The Soviet amendment to article 20 is obviously a
very restrictive statement of the right to freedom of
opinion and expression. It sets up standards which
would enable any state practically to deny all
freedom of opinion and expression without violating
the article. It introduces the terms "democratic view."
"democratic systems," "democratic state," and
o If the Assembly fails to approve the Soviet
amendments, individual freedom may soon
disappear.
o If the Assembly fails to approve the Soviet
amendments, the Soviets might have to declare
war
The Soviet amendments mention fascism, which
is too controversial a topic for the UDHR.
0 The Soviet amendments endanger human
freedoms by emphasizing group rights over
individual rights

His words are warm and close as a breath. Lourdes turns, expecting to find her father at her shoulder but she sees only the dusk settling on the tops of the oak trees, the pink tinge of sliding darkness. “Don’t be afraid, mi hija.
