Read the following stanza from "Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now," by A. E.
Housman.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
What tone does the poet create through his word choice in this stanza?
A. Joyful
O B. Comforting
O C. Reflective
D. Unkind
PREVIOUS

Answer:

C. Reflective

Explanation:

A reflective mood is one that is characterized by deep thoughts. The poet in this stanza thinks deeply of the remaining number of years he has left to spend on earth. This is a sober thought because it makes one think back on the past years spent and how they were spent. It also brings the sudden realization that the person now has limited time and must make the best use of it.

Therefore, the tone created by the poet is a reflective one.

Which word or group of words best helps to clarify the meaning of block printing in the last paragraph?
from "The Printing Press"
in Great Inventions and Discoveries by Willis Duff Piercy

1 "Except a living man," says Charles Kingsley, "there is nothing more wonderful than a book—a message to us from the dead—from human souls whom we never saw, who lived perhaps thousands of miles away; and yet these, on those little sheets of paper, speak to us, amuse us, vivify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as brothers. We ought to reverence books, to look at them as useful and mighty things." Milton calls a good book "the precious life blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life." Cicero likens a room without books to a body without a soul. Ruskin says, "Bread of flour is good; but there is bread, sweet as honey, if we would eat it, in a good book." And Thomas Carlyle exclaims: "Wondrous, indeed, is the virtue of a true book! O thou who art able to write a book, which once in two centuries or oftener there is a man gifted to do, envy not him whom they name city-builder, and inexpressibly pity him whom they name conqueror or city-burner!"
2 For centuries the traditions, stories, and songs of men were handed down orally from father to son and were preserved only in the memory. The poems of Homer, the great Greek bard, were recited by readers to large audiences, some of them numbering probably twenty thousand. By and by men felt the need of perpetuating their thoughts in some more permanent way than by memory, and there grew up a rude system of writing.
3 The early Greeks and Romans used for their books tablets of ivory or metal or, more commonly, tablets of wood taken from the beech or fir tree which was then followed by a material called parchment. This was made from the skins of animals, particularly sheep or lambs. About the end of the ninth century or the beginning of the tenth, after Christ, parchment and vellum as material for books gave way to paper. Initially paper produced, was made of cotton, but during the twelfth century it was produced from linen. It is not known who invented linen paper, but its introduction was the first great catalyst to book making. About the beginning of the fifteenth century after Christ, there came over the world an enormous wave of intellectual awakening.
4 The human intellect began to awake, to stretch itself, to go forth and conquer, which hence brought about the invention of printing. Before this time, ever since man began to record his thoughts, whether on plank, stone, or papyrus, on bark of tree, skin of animal, or tablet of wax or paper, every letter was made by hand. The process was necessarily slow, books were rare and costly, and only the few could have them. But with the advent of a process that would multiply books andmake them cheap, learning wasmade accessibleto the legion. Before theinventionof printing with movable, metal types, a kind of block printing was used. The words or letters were carved on a block of wood; the block was applied to paper, silk, cloth, or vellum, and thusimpressionswere made.

During the first year of imprisonment, the lawyer, as far as it was possible to judge from his short notes, suffered terribly from loneliness and boredom. From his wing day and night came the sound of the piano. He rejected wine and tobacco. “Wine,” he wrote, “excites desires, and desires are the chief foes of a prisoner; besides, nothing is more boring than to drink good wine alone,” and tobacco spoils the air in his room.

The story "Games at Twilight" by Anita Desai is set in India on a hot summer day. Children are forced to stay indoors but are eager to go out. Which four words in the excerpt suggest this sense of suffocation?
It was still too hot to play outdoors. They had had their tea, they had been washed and had their hair brushed, and after the long day of confinement in the house that was not cool but at least a protection from the sun, the children strained to get out. Their faces were red and bloated with the effort, but their mother would not open the door, everything was still curtained and shuttered in a way that stifled the children, made them feel that their lungs were stuffed with cotton wool and their noses with dust and if they didn’t burst out into the light and see the sun and feel the air, they would choke

Rita did not care what her parents had said last night; she was glad things were changing. They might be willing to overlook the ratty textbooks and dingy classrooms at the old high school, but Rita was glad she and her classmates would be attending Somerset High in the fall. The first few days would be terrifying; Rita could barely imagine what she would wear or say. She knew people would protest outside, but she also knew she could prove herself among the white kids. She looked forward to her first new textbook, her first test, and her first “A.”
