Which option is most clearly an example of satire?
O A. A pamphlet that lists complaints about the government
B. A fairy tale that provides a moral lesson at the very end
O c. A novel that pokes fun at a powerful, corrupt politician
O D. A documentary that reveals secrets about a celebrity

Answer:

C.A Novel that pokes fun at a powerful, Corrupt Politician

Explanation:

Satire: the use of humor, irony, or exaggeration

The reason the answer is C is because the novel is using humor to poke at the politician,which makes it satire.

Answer:

c. A novel that pokes fun at a powerful, corrupt politician

Explanation:

A satirical work uses irony and humor to mock a political or societal situation in an exaggerated manner as a means to criticize it and subtly illustrate the truth of reality. A novel that "pokes fun at a powerful, corrupt politician" would clearly be satirical work.

Paragraph 1
A reason I believe in teen curfews is my concern for teens' safety. When teens stay out late, they must either drive or walk home when they are tired, when visibility is limited, and when crime rates are statistically high. Therefore, curfews help parents and communities ensure the well-being of their young people by requiring them to be home early. Although I disagree with some of the traditional consequences for violating a curfew, I feel curfews are a good thing. Teen curfews can help protect young people.

When writing either for or against a certain issue, writers will often use words with a positive or negative connotation.

Identify 3 words or phrases from the paragraph that support the writer's beliefs about teen curfew.

In the following passage from Great Astronomers by Robert Stewall Ball, the author states that he will trace the developments in astronomy
from the time of Ptolemy to the nineteenth century. Based on the content and style of the excerpt, what kind of audience did Ball primarily have
in mind when he was writing this book?
The history of astronomy thus becomes inseparable from the history of the great men to whose labours its development is due. In the
ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lives and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of
astronomy has been created. We shall commence with Ptolemy, who, after the foundations of the science had been laid by Hipparchus,
gave to astronomy the form in which it was taught throughout the Middle Ages. We shall next see the mighty revolution in our conceptions
of the universe which are associated with the name of Copernicus. We then pass to those periods illumined by the genius of Galileo and
Newton, and afterwards we shall trace the careers of other more recent discoverers, by whose Industry and genlus the boundaries of
human knowledge have been so greatly extended. Our history will be brought down late enough to include some of the illustrious
astronomers who laboured in the generation which has just passed away.
OA
students specializing in the study of astronomy
OB. people with a casual interest in astronomy
OC. scientists and mathematicians working with astronomers
OD. geologists and cartographers

Andy smiled as he and his field day team stepped up to their last activity. They were in first place, and Andy
could already feel the medal around his neck. “How exciting!” Mrs. Emory said. “You two teams are tied with
the highest score of the day.” “Tied?” Andy said. “But we beat them at the relay race.” “Yes, but that was their
only loss,” Mrs. Emory said. “Your team also has one loss, so you are both tied for first place.”
Andy crossed his arms in front of his chest. He didn’t want to think about the balloon toss. He’d been the first
one to drop his balloon. “This event is a hula hoop challenge,” Mrs. Emory said, handing everyone a hula hoop.
“Your challenge is to hula hoop for as long as possible. Once your hoop hits the ground, you will be
disqualified. The last person hula hooping will win the event for their team.” Andy’s eyes widened. He’d never
hula hooped before. He looked at the rest of his team. Becky seemed confident and so did Cory.
Mrs. Emory blew her whistle. “Begin!” Andy watched Rachelle and mimicked everything she did. But no
matter how hard he tried, the hoop wouldn’t stay up. It bobbled and fell to his ankles. He stepped aside and
cheered for Becky and Cory who were the only ones left to battle Rachelle. Becky sneezed and her hoop
toppled to the ground. Andy grumbled, but he started cheering even louder for Cory. Andy stared at Rachelle.
She looked relaxed as the hoop twirled around her. Her team was chanting her name, and it took Andy a
moment to realize Cory had dropped his hoop. The challenge was over, and Rachelle had won, which meant
Andy’s team had lost. But Andy couldn’t help cheering for Rachelle as she continued to hula hoop. Rachelle
was still hula hooping when Mrs. Emory gave out the medals. Andy wore his second place medal with pride
as he congratulated Rachelle, the true field day champion.

In paragraph 1, what is the author's purpose in mentioning ‘Andy could already feel the medal
around his neck?’
a) Andy was already wearing the medal.
b) Andy had told Mrs. Emory to make him the winner.
c) His team had won all the races, so he was sure he would win.
d) To show that Andy was confident that his team would win

Less Homework, Please! Carley Mims Students today are overwhelmed. Stress comes at students from many different directions: extra-curricular activities, sports, family expectations, jobs, and--of course--homework. Studies have shown that current students have more homework per week than students ever have before. Some classes may require homework--for example, reading assignments in an English or history class, computation and calculation practice in math, and making or doing projects for science. But surely we have reached a point at which the homework pendulum has swung too far and to an extreme that is unhealthy and even harmful to students. Teachers assign homework as if their classes were the only ones that existed.

1) The main idea of this passage is
A) that students today have too much homework to do.
B) that teachers are not using their time efficiently.
C) that homework is a very productive activity for students to do.
D) that schools need to integrate more technology into the classroom.

2) Which would be the best concluding sentence for this paragraph?
A) Students need to work harder in order to get all their homework done more efficiently.
B) Homework needs better implementation in order to be truly effective for teachers' purposes.
C) The biggest problem facing students today is not homework, but absenteeism and excessive tardies.
D) Teachers, administrators, and parents need to seriously reconsider the level of homework students have each week.

The incentive scheme that rules sumo is intricate and extraordinarily powerful. Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of life; how much money he makes, how large an entourage he carries, how much he gets to eat, sleep, and otherwise take advantage of his success. The sixty-six highest-ranked wrestlers in Japan, comprising the makuuchi and juryo divisions, make up the sumo elite. A wrestler near the top of this elite pyramid may earn millions and is treated like royalty. Any wrestler in the top forty earns at least $170,000 a year. The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year. Life isn’t very sweet outside the elite. Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors, preparing their meals and cleaning their quarters and even soaping up their hardest-to-reach body parts. So ranking is everything.

A wrestler’s ranking is based on his performance in the elite tournaments that are held six times a year. Each wrestler has fifteen bouts per tournament, one per day over fifteen consecutive days. If he finishes the tournament with a winning record (eight victories or better), his ranking will rise. If he has a losing record, his ranking falls. If it falls far enough, he is booted from the elite rank entirely. The eighth victory in any tournament is therefore critical, the difference between promotion and demotion; it is roughly four times as valuable in the rankings as the typical victory.

Based on the excerpt, which of the following statements best summarizes the incentive system that ranks sumo wrestlers?
The incentive system penalizes elite sumo wrestlers.
The incentive system rewards elite sumo wrestlers.
The incentive system treats all sumo wrestlers equally.
The incentive system treats all sumo wrestlers like royalty.
