Read the following excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham," then answer the question.
"I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.
We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was 'legal' and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was 'illegal.' It was 'illegal' to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. But I am sure that, if I had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal. If I lived in a communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws."

In the beginning of the paragraph he talks about the only logical reasons there are in why the law is wrong. The second half of the paragraph is ironic becausse he speaks of how he would act in those situations even though he isn't in them. Legal and illegal are not being used correctly throughout history when they should clearly have been fixed. Therefore, it is ironic.

The speaker wore chevrons on his arm, his companion red stripes on his shoulders.
"Whose place is this, old woman? Of course it's not empty. How about the light and that child there? Look here, confound it, we want to eat and
quick too. We're coming in."
"Tell me what they call this ranch, woman?" the sergeant asked.
"Limon," the woman replied curtly, carrying wood to the fire and fanning the coals.
A) food. B) light. C) ranch. D) limon. E)fire
Answer:

In literary terms, the setting of a story refers to the time and place where events in the story occur. Some words in the passage above gives the reader an idea of the place where the events in the story took place. The reference to the ranch which is a place where large animals like horses and cattle are reared helps the reader to know the setting of the story.
The response of the woman when asked the name of the ranch, which she answered as Limon also gives us the knowledge of the particular ranch where the plot was set.

Mollusks are invertebrates which include snails, slugs, mussels, and octopuses. They are not members of the insect family, but many people think they are. Mollusks can be distinguished from insects by their lack of wings, and the fact that they are not warm-blooded. Although one might be tempted to be scared of mollusks, they are normally quite gentle and harmless. Mollusks have not been known to attack humans in the wild or in captivity. To care for a mollusk, wash it gently and feed it small leaves or twigs. Most people do not recommend keeping mollusks as pets. A mollusk may or may not have a shell. This is not how you distinguish a mollusk; other animals have shells such as turtles. Nevertheless mollusks are often considered pests.
What conclusion can be drawn about the author’s relevance of facts regarding mollusks?
Answer: Mollusks are invertebrates which include snails, slugs, mussels, and octopuses. They are not members of the insect family, but many people think they are. They can be distinguished from insects by their lack of wings and the fact they are not warm-blooded.
