Which two sentences in this excerpt from Theodore Dreiser's "My Brother Paul" are examples of characterization that suggest Paul is a superstitious person?
Of all those who had been so lavish in their greetings and companionship earlier in his life, scarcely one, so far as I could make out, found him in that retired world to which he was forced. One or two pegged-out actors sought him and borrowed a little of the little that he had; a few others came when he had nothing at all. His partners, quarreling among themselves and feeling that they had done him an injustice, remained religiously away. He found, as he often told my sister, broken horse-shoes (a "bad sign"), met cross-eyed women, another "bad sign," was pursued apparently by the inimical number thirteen—and all these little straws depressed him horribly. Finally, being no longer strong enough to be about, he took to his bed and remained there days at a time, feeling well while in bed but weak when up. For a little while he would go "downtown" to see this, that and the other person, but would soon return. One day on coming back home he found one of his hats lying on his bed, accidentally put there by one of the children, and according to my sister, who was present at the time, he was all but petrified by the sight of it. To him it was the death-sign. Some one had told him so not long before!!!

Nate is writing an essay arguing that the football program at his school should be canceled for safety reasons. Which is the most effective claim for his argument? Our school should not have a football team because research shows that twenty percent of students will suffer at least one concussion during their high school playing career, which can have dangerous and permanent effects. Many people are very proud of our school's football team, and they came close to winning the district title last year, but that doesn't take away from the fact that our high school should not field a football team. Football can be a dangerous and risky sport at any level, and other sports, such as basketball and field hockey, are much better choices for students. Football is fun and provides students with a sense of unity, but it can also be a dangerous game for many reasons, including the fact that many students suffer concussions while they are playing.

Which statement explains what the young man's
choice reveals about his character?
Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger."
When her lover turned and looked at her, and his eye
met hers as she sat there, paler and whiter than any
one in the vast ocean of anxious faces about her, he
saw, by that power of quick perception which is given
to those whose souls are one, that she knew behind
which door crouched the tiger, and behind which stood
the lady... Then it was that his quick and anxious
glance asked the question: "Which?"... She raised her
hand, and made a slight, quick movement toward the
right. No one but her lover saw her. Every eye but his
was fixed on the man in the arena... He turned, and
with a firm and rapid step he walked across the empty
space. Every heart stopped beating, every breath was
held, every eye was fixed immovably upon that man
Without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on
the right, and opened it.
O He does not fear whatever awaits him behind tr
doors.
O He trusts his lover, the princess, completely.
O He loves the young woman behind the door, not
princess.
He plans to escape from the amphitheater before
the door opens.

How does the following portion of Susan B. Anthony's speech support her
argument?
The preamble of the Federal Constitution says:
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more
perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for
the United States of America.
It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor
we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed
the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of
liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and
the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women
as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to
women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while
they are denied the use of the only means of securing them
provided by this democratic-republican government - the
ballot.
O A. It proves that all citizens of the U.S. are given the same rights.
OB. It shows Anthony should not be allowed to vote.
O c. It shows only male citizens are addressed in the U.S.

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet both blame forces beyond their control for their predicament. Romeo blames fate for his troubles after killing Tybalt, declaring that he is “fortune’s fool.” Juliet asks how “heaven” can play tricks (“practice strategems”) on someone so ill-equipped to defend herself. But is that realistic? Are Romeo and Juliet’s fates beyond their control, or are they themselves responsible the events up to and including their downfall? This should be a page and include specific evidence from the text.
