that December was almost here. It was too strong an adjective.
He had waited a long time for this special December. Now that it was almost upon him, he wasn't frightened,
but he was... eager, he decided. He was eager for it to come. And he was excited, certainly. All of the
Elevens were excited about the event that would be coming so soon.
What is the meaning of eager as it is used in the excerpt?
distracted by another thought
o careful about approaching something
O looking forward to something
o worried about the future

In at least one hundred words, give an overview of the basic tenets of the Igbo belief system, as described in Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. Use evidence to support your answer.
Answer:
The Igbo gods are mostly manifestations of nature and its elements, which makes sense because they are an agricultural society that depends on the regularity of seasons and natural phenomena to survive. They worship the goddess of the earth and are always careful to avoid committing sins against her for fear of vengeance that might wipe out an entire generation. The Igbo ancestors also take on a divine nature to some extent. Family plays such a central role in Igbo life that the spirits of their ancestors are consulted for almost every decision and even serve as judges in legal trials (in the form of masked elders). The Igbo emphasis on numerous gods associated with nature and also on ancestors and somewhat divine contrasts sharply with the single God of Christianity which seems far less directly relevant to the Igbo lifestyle.

What does the watch symbolize in this passage?
The watch sits on my dresser. Looking at it now, I see how its bright pink face is the same color as the nail polish Gran always wore. I put it on my wrist, and it’s like she is next to me. Gran gave it to me on my 16th birthday. She told me time flies, so I should stop and appreciate every moment. I wish I had one more moment with Gran. The bright golden bands of the watch are just how she faced each day—with a bright smile on her face.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves ignorant.
Why does Douglass compare slaves to horses in this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave?
to show how poorly kept records were in those days
to show how naive he was at that age
to show how hard slaves had to work
to show how dehumanizing slavery was
Answer: to show how dehumanizing slavery was
Explanation:
In comparing the lack of knowledge forced upon enslaved people to horses who also lack knowledge, Douglass was trying to show that slavery was so dehumanizing because humans were treated in the same way that animals were treated in this particular regard.
Slave owners felt that the more ignorant an enslaved person was, the easier they would be to control and this was a very accurate view. Once they saw the success of keeping the enslaved ignorant, they pursued it as a strategy ever so diligently.

"O God, I have an Ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb."
A. foreshadowing
B. hyperbole
C. understatement
D. metaphor
Answer:
C

Interpret In lines 69-70 of the excerpt from The Prelude, what does the speaker mean when he says his heart "had been turned aside//From Nature's way"?
Answer:
With these lines, the narrator who says that he has become disoriented and does not know what to believe anymore.
Explanation:
When the narrator states that he has strayed from the path of nature, he is referring to nature itself, that is, he is referring to his own beliefs, opinions and convictions. This shows that the narrator went through a moment of so much disappointment that it left him confused, disoriented, unable to believe in his own reasoning and in what he felt was correct and appropriate. In other words, the narrator has lost his essence, his nature and does not know what else to do.

The author’s syntax and use of repetition establishes a tone that is ––
A. cynical
B. malicious
C. foreboding
D. tranquil
Foreboding undertones are created by the author's repetition and syntax. Hence, Option C is correct.
What is the meaning of the term “syntax”?The study of syntax in linguistics deals with the way that words and morphemes come together to form longer units like phrases and sentences.
Word order, grammatical relations, the nature of crosslinguistic variation, agreement, hierarchical sentence structure constituency, and the connection between form and meaning semantics are some of the main topics of syntax.
The fundamental presumptions and objectives of the various approaches to syntax vary. Simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences are different types of sentences, each with a different syntax mode.
A conjunction connects two simple sentences to form a compound sentence. Dependent clauses are found in complex sentences, and both types are seen in compound-complex sentences.
Therefore, Option C is correct.
