Learning to Read and Write by Frederick Douglass
Why did the author’s mistress find his reading newspapers particularly threatening?

Answer:

The mistress was at one point teaching Douglass how to read, but threw it into discontinuance due to the warnings of her husband, which urged her to follow status quo of maintaining illiterate slaves. In the aftermath of this event, the mistress strongly upheld these practices, and exercised her beliefs through the increase of intensity of which she handled the slaves; almost as if to prove her understanding. She disliked when Douglass read newspapers--which he continued to do on his own, despite her break off--as she feared two major possibilites: he and the other slaves would become smart enough to plan a rebellion, paired with the fact that slave rebellions were written in the newspapers and Douglass could have easily read about them.

Which detail from the excerpt best supports the inference that food was more consistently available in larger towns? O Pig farmers keep their fitches of bacon back in storage until they can get a better price for them later in the winter. O Such tactics are made even more profitable by the unhappy fact that harvests can fail, causing local and sometimes national--food shortages. O Large towns are less vulnerable, being part of an international market that sees preserved foods traded long-distance, but much of the countryside is dependent on fresh food. O After a poor harvest, prices for all commodities--not just grain-rise dramatically and the poor are unable to make ends meet.​

What is a benefit of responding to a counterargument with a concession?

Monty is writing an argumentative text about not having exotic animals as pets. He needs help clarifying his claim in the introductory paragraph. Read an excerpt and notice his claim in bold.

For years, human beings have been fascinated by wild animals. We visit zoos to attain some type of intimacy with these animals in their new homes. We sit through shows watching them perform tricks and depending on the animal, we get to pet them. All these experiences are educational for many. However, some people’s fascination with these animals has grown to the point that they desire to have these animals as pets. Exotic animals are becoming popular, and I wonder if they make good pets.

Exotic animals are meant to live in their natural habitats. If they are not in their natural homes, then they should be in controlled settings such as zoos. The average person is not equipped to care for them in a typical home. Experts estimate that approximately 20,000 exotic wild cats are living as pets in the United States. Sadly, that is almost more than the number of tigers that exist in their natural environment. In states such as Texas, people must have a license to own wild animals such as tigers, however, the state does not have regulations to guarantee the protection of those animals once they have been bought.

Caring for exotic pets is extremely costly and can become dangerous. Annual food costs for one tiger cub can cost up to $6,000. These cubs can even weigh up to 500 pounds in a just a few short months and become strong enough to overpower the average adult. These animals require plenty of space to roam and feel comfortable. Luckily, when pet owners are worried about not doing a good job raising these animals, there are pet sanctuaries that are willing to take the animals and care for them.

Which statement below best serves as a claim to replace Monty’s current claim?

A.
Exotic pets are not ideal for everyone.
B.
The popularity of exotic pets is becoming alarming and must stop.
C.
Wild animals are becoming increasingly popular.
D.
Exotic animals are more difficult and expensive to care for and as such should not be pets.

Moments after Marnie got into her bed, though, Brenda got out of hers. She pulled a jacket on over her pajamas and went very quietly out of the big sleeping room. Then she started down the trail to the beach. The moon was full and bright, and she could easily see where she was going.

Which statement best summarizes the excerpt?

A: Brenda puts on a jacket over her pajamas.
B: Brenda sneaks out of the sleeping room.
C: Brenda can see where she is going.
D: Brenda goes down to the beach.

In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, he defines education as the “turning around” of the soul. What does he mean and how does this allow us to think about our personal process of learning? In other words, what is education according to Plato? You might want to think about the education you need for a job, and one that you need for life.
