Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

All the same, when I came to the Place of the Gods, I was afraid, afraid. The current of the great river is very strong—it gripped my raft with its hands. That was magic, for the river itself is wide and calm. I could feel evil spirits about me, I was swept down the stream. Never have I been so much alone—I tried to think of my knowledge, but it was a squirrel's heap of winter nuts. There was no strength in my knowledge any more and I felt small and naked as a new-hatched bird—alone upon the great river, the servant of the gods.

Read this excerpt from "Hope, Despair, and Memory" by Elie Wiesel and answer the question.

The survivors wanted to communicate everything to the living: the victim’s solitude and sorrow, the tears of mothers driven to madness, the prayers of the doomed beneath a fiery sky. They needed to tell of the child who, in hiding with his mother, asked softly, very softly, "Can I cry now?" They needed to tell of the sick beggar who, in a sealed cattle-car, began to sing as an offering to his companions. And of the little girl who, hugging her grandmother, whispered: "Don’t be afraid, don’t be sorry to die … I’m not."

What historical context does Wiesel convey using the allusion of a fiery sky?

He compares the sky to hell.
the fires from air raids during World War II
the cremation of Jews in the concentration camps
the outbreak of forest fires from bombs in World War II

Testing for Concussions

When a patient is suspected of having a concussion, or brain injury, doctors often turn to
computed tomography, or CT, scans to find out for sure. In a CT scan, a series of X-rays
is taken. Each one shows an individual "slice" of the brain, and they can be combined to
form a complete three-dimensional picture. Because of the amount of radiation patients
are exposed to, however, doctors question the use of the scans, especially for children.
Now researchers have proposed an alternative way of diagnosing head injuries: a simple
blood test. The test detects proteins that burst out of brain cells into the bloodstream
immediately after an injury. It allows doctors to determine whether a patient has suffered
head trauma and needs further treatment.
What is the main idea of the passage?

A: A new blood test makes it easier-and safer-to detect concussions.

B: Doctors commonly use CT scans to test for brain injuries.

C: A new blood test can identify proteins that are present in the blood following a
brain injury

President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.

The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.

Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

How does the sentence "Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home" support the central idea of the speech?

It furthers the notion that Americans want nothing to do with a war against terrorists.
It supports the idea that American troops will not occupy another country after defeating the enemy.
It supports the point that the war is an ongoing effort that cannot be won overnight.
It contributes to the notion that being a soldier is physically and emotionally demanding work.

Write a Narritive essay with this story prompt:

It is March 15, in the year of 2514. The people of former New York are in desperate circumstances. They are being overrun, and they are losing hope. The banners proclaiming a Free the Real NYC Lie in the gutters, trampled by terrified and panic citizens. Two teens – or kidz as they are called now Dash are on their way home from a secret meeting. As they walk in the shadows to avoid detection, they both tripped on a huge titanium cylinder. Etched into the surface or a series of scratched out words. The only ones I can make out are, “he will prevail.” They drag the heavy cylinder into a hidden alleyway and twist it open. The glow from the flashlights reveals the contents of the cylinder. With gasps of relief, they look at each other with hope in their eyes for the first time in years.

WHAT IS THE TONE OF THIS POEM?

Let them be as flowers,
always watered, fed, guarded, admired,
but harnessed to a pot of dirt.

I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed,
clinging on cliffs, like an eagle
wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.

To have broken through the surface of stone,
to live, to feel exposed to the madness
of the vast, eternal sky.
To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea,
carrying my soul, my seed,
beyond the mountains of time or into the abyss of the bizarre.

I'd rather be unseen, and if
then shunned by everyone,
than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,
growing in clusters in the fertile valley,
where they're praised, handled, and plucked
by greedy, human hands.

I'd rather smell of musty, green stench
than of sweet, fragrant lilac.
If I could stand alone, strong and free,
I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed.

What two words best describe the tone of the poem?

a
Somber and serious
b
Fearful and happy
c
Threatening and optimistic
d
Condescending and passionate
