Select the correct answer.
Read the excerpt from Mobyby Herman Melville about a giant white whale known as Moby

For some time past, though at intervals only, the unaccompanied, secluded White Whale had haunted those uncivilized seas mostly frequented by the Sperm Whale fishermen. But not all of them knew of his existence; only a few of them, comparatively, had knowingly seen him; while the number who as yet had actually and knowingly given battle to him, was small indeed. For, owing to the large number of whale-cruisers; the disorderly way they were sprinkled over the entire watery circumference, many of them adventurously pushing their quest along solitary latitudes, so as seldom or never for a whole twelvemonth or more on a stretch, to encounter a single news-telling sail of any sort; the inordinate length of each separate voyage; the irregularity of the times of sailing from home; all these, with other circumstances, direct and indirect, long obstructed the spread through the whole world-wide whaling-fleet of the special individualizing tidings concerning Moby .

Which choice provides the best objective summary of the passage?

A.
The White Whale has been around for a while. But due to the long, solitary voyages of fishermen and little contact among them, the whale’s behavior has not been widely known, let alone witnessed.
B.
There are very few fishermen who have encountered the White Whale. It requires sailing whale-cruisers long distances to reach the area where the whale lives. Due to being so far from civilization, the whale’s reputation has not spread.
C.
There are many large whale-cruisers but only a few that have ventured to distant, solitary latitudes. So, only a few have ever encountered the White Whale; but as they rarely make it back, the whale’s reputation seems unrealistic and false.
D.
The White Whale has been haunting the region for many years. But most who encounter it do not survive. Therefore, most fisherman do not know how dangerous it is.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A.  The White Whale has been around for a while. But due to the long, solitary voyages of fishermen and little contact among them, the whale’s behavior has not been widely known, let alone witnessed.

Explanation:

An objective summary is when a summarized version of a passage is made or done with just the facts made in the text and no personal opinions included in it. This means that an objective summary tells the text version and not the opinion of any particular individual.

In the given passage from Herman Melville's "Moby D ick", the objective summary will be to talk of the "long, solitary voyages of fishermen" and how little contact between them made the story of the whale less known. It simply 'shortens' the given text, thereby making it an objective summary.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer 2

Answer:

The White Whale has been around for a while. But due to the long, solitary voyages of fishermen and little contact among them, the whale’s behavior has not been widely known, let alone witnessed.

Dear Chris,

I am delighted to write to you again. I believe that your family members are all okay. We are also okay down here.

In your last letter, you requested that I should share with you some of the reasons for the outstanding performance of our school in the district. I will share three of those reasons with you in this letter.

Firstly, our school have maintained a culture of employing only the best teachers to teach various subjects. In our school, teachers possess a minimum of masters degree in their respective subject areas.

Secondly, students who intend to study in our school pass through a rigorous screening exercise which selects only the best students to become enrolled into our school. This has helped to sustain the reputation of the school as a hub for academic excellence in the district.

Lastly, our school upholds the principle of discipline and hard work and inculcates same into all students. Students are encouraged to aspire towards greatness and are challenged to be the best they can be. Many internal competitions are organized regularly in the school to stimulate the students towards pursuing academic excellence.

These are the reasons why Universal Model School will remain the hub of academic excellence in the district for years to come!

____ of the footballers was
given a cash prize for winning the
championship
(a) All
(b)Any
(d) Most
(C)Some
(e)Each

Answers

Answer:

(e) Each

Explanation:

In English language, each is a word use to describe one of two or more distinct individuals considered separately but having a similar relation and often makes up an aggregate. Thus, each refers to everyone or everything that belongs to a group, regarded and identified separately.

In this context, the footballers are the group of people and each of them were given a cash prize for their victory in the championship.

Hence, the most appropriate word to fill the blank is "each" and the complete sentence would be written as;

"Each of the footballers was given a cash prize for winning the championship."

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

C because "Although Ann could´ve chosen more attractive records" makes the most sense out of the options given.

It can´t be  D or A because they´re not in present tense.

It can´t be B because there´s "although" and "more" in the sentence.

"All the guests seemed to have enjoyed the party, although Ann was able to chose some more attractive records" doesn´t make sense.

"Why don't you send your grandpa a postcard?" Mom suggested. "You know that stack he sent you is already addressed and stamped just waiting for you to write a short note. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you."
Conner stared blankly at the blank TV screen. He was not afraid of technology, but his parents' ridiculous decision to reduce the family's "screen time" was turning him into a reluctant Luddite. He meandered down the hall past his little brother's room. Tater Bug, clad in a knight's helmet and red cape from the treasure chest that held costumes from years of Halloween escapades, wielded a foam sword over his head, yelling "death to tyrants!" as he charged a pile of stuffed animals. Conner sighed and turned down the hall, jealous that his little brother could still play with such imaginative abandon. Tater Bug wasn't even aware of the TV dilemma plaguing the family. Finally, Conner went out the back door and saw Tater Bug's soccer ball on the patio. He nudged it with his foot, and it began a slow roll into the yard. With a couple of quick steps, Conner drew back his foot and gave the ball an angry kick that sent it bouncing off the fence with a loud bang into mom's flowerbed. Conner considered that writing postcards might be safer, but it felt good to attack the ball.
"I want to play!" Tater Bug yelled, running out the back door with his arms outstretched like a champion soaring above tall buildings with the red cape flying behind him. The boy grabbed the ball, spun around, and kicked it back to Conner. Before he knew it, Conner was demonstrating how to bend the ball into the goal to score an unexpected point and win the game in the final quarter.
"Goal!" the brothers yelled when the ball disappeared into the hollyhocks.
Mom and Dad appeared on the patio holding some cold drinks, and Mom swallowed back a warning not to hurt the flowers.
"At least they're doing something," she muttered.

Answers

Answer:

C. Before he knew it, Conner was demonstrating how to bend the ball into the goal to score an unexpected point and win the game in the final quarter.

Explanation:

The resolution of a text refers to how the text is finalized and completed. In the text presented in the question above, we can see that Conner is thoughtful about how his childhood is ending. This can be seen in the way he looks at his younger brother playing and is envious that he can no longer engage in games so intensely. However, after a while, he realizes that involvement in games is not related to childhood, but rather to his willingness to participate in these games. This is the resolution of the text and can be described by the sentence that shows that while playing football with his brother, Conner manages to get involved and see himself scoring an unexpected point at the end of a fictional game.

Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed to live under their own laws and in freedom, there are three courses for those who wish to hold them: the first is to ruin them, the next is to reside there in person, the third is to permit them to live under their own laws, drawing a tribute, and establishing within it an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you.

C. Most important, ESL teacher Meg Flisek told her colleagues, students are entitled to an education regardless of immigration status, and federal law prohibits school staff from disclosing any student information, even to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Explanation:

According to paragraph C, not disclosing information about immigrant students is in accordance with federal law. Therefore, when teachers protect those students by not revealing their status to agencies, they are in fact acting according to legal requirements. It is not only their right to do so, it is their duty. Thus, they are not breaking the law: They are using it in those students' favor.
