Read the excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Resistance to Civil
Government":
How can a man be satisfied to entertain an opinion merely,
and enjoy it? Is there any enjoyment in it, if his opinion is
that he is aggrieved? If you are cheated out of a single
dollar by your neighbor, you do not rest satisfied with
knowing that you are cheated, or with saying that you are
cheated, or even with petitioning him to pay you your due..
Which statement about Thoreau's rhetorical style is most accurate?
A. He uses parallelism to give an extended, illustrative example.
B. He uses rhetorical questions to evoke the reader's response.
C. He uses rhetorical questions to anticipate the reader's rebuttal.
D. He uses parallelism to show his own behavior when in crisis.
Answer:
B. He uses rhetorical questions to evoke the readers response
The statement about Thoreau's rhetorical style that is most accurate is "He uses rhetorical questions to evoke the reader's response".
What is rhetorical question?A rhetorical question is "a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer".
The statement about Thoreau's rhetorical style that is most accurate is "He uses rhetorical questions to evoke the reader's response" because Thoreau asked questions in the excerpt only to make the reader think about the situation rather than wanting an answer in return.
He threw a question (If you are cheated out of a single dollar by your neighbor, you do not rest satisfied with knowing that you are cheated, or with saying that you are cheated, or even with petitioning him to pay you your due) to invoke empathy in the reader to get their response regarding the situation he is talking about.
Thus, Thoreau used rhetorical questions to evoke the reader's response.

The paragraph below is an excerpt from an article written for a school newspaper.
Texting is an increasingly popular means of communication with students at Mystic Falls High School. Students
text their friends to make plans, ask questions, and share information. However, texting can also be distracting.
It takes students' attention away from the primary purpose of school: learning.
What is the tone of the article?
• melancholy
humorous
O respectful
• critical
Mark this and retumn

Submit
Answer: Critical
Explanation: The paragraph shows a critical tone due to the last two sentences. The beginning was purely informative of the rising popularity of cell phone usage. None of the particulate tones were being used. As the paragraph progresses, the author switches to the stating a negative side to cell phone usage. This being said, melancholy and humorous make no particular sense as an answer, which leaves us with respectful and critical. We can eliminate respectful because although the author was respectful, there was more to it then just that. Hope that helps!

Can you create a poem about greed and money. At least 10 lines
Answer: Greed and Money
Explanation:
Poem type: Free Verse
I have what I always wanted, I have endless amounts of that green paper you call money and an infinite stash of gold bars lying within the solid doors of my large safe.
I am old, but, I have it all. I have a young wife and reckless lovers all around the province, there is nothing better than being rich.
I have yachts and whatnots, I have everything anyone could ever dream of having and I delight in it all.
I am one of a kind, and you ask me about God? There is no God for me! For I am God. I am God and Lord over everyone, I tell one to do this and he does it without a doubt. God? God doesn't exist. Only I exist, money and power reign over any religion.
What do you desire to tell me? That I am deceitful? Yes, to your eyes I may be. How else would I have conceived so much treasures? I have framed and stolen from many worse than myself, don't judge me if I am deceitful for everyone is deceitful.
What do you desire to warm me about? That Karma shall catch me for my devious acts? Karma shall not act! I am God, nothing shall make me tremble. I have my riches and my gold, I have my men and my hitman, I have an empire that you yourself cannot learn to comprehend.
What do you desire to say? That I have greed? Yes I have greed! I want more and more each and every day and I kill and murder those opposing my way and don't think you won't be on my Blacklist if you interfere on my matters.
What do you want to warm of that is so urgent? That God has plans for me in hell? I am hell, people that treat me know that I'm worse than hellfire for I have no pity and no compassion over those that work for me, yes! I make them work till exhaustion! And, that pleases me.
What is it? Tell me, what is it? That I am tied to my possessions? I am. That I have everything due to the most horrendous of acts? Yes. I have no heart, for my heart is made of stone, I am like the Happy Prince only without any sorrow inside my heart. I am locked inside my paradise filled with the paper you call money and the desire of having more which you call greed. No one can change me for I am God.

Explanation:
A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).
In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.
Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to animate and inanimate objects i.e non-living things.
An example of personification in the excerpt above is, The lizard uses a sword to cut crops. It's practically impossible for a lizard or any other animal to use a sword in cutting crops because they lack the sense, ability and composure to do so.

In which sentence is the action arrow pointing in the correct direction?
A.
<–––––
Juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus.
B.
––––––>
Juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus.
Answer:
B.
––––––>
Juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus.
Explanation:
Juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus. The arrow pointing to the right would be more probable than an arrow pointing to the left since the road (in normal circumstances) have the right lane going forward while the left lane is in the opposite direction.
––––––> juan ran down the driveway so that he would not be late for the bus.
The sentence that is likely to point to the right direction is the second one. This is because the arrow describes a movement from the left to the right. This is the most common way in which cars move down the road. It is also the most intuitive direction for people as we tend to read (in English) from the left to the right.

2. PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
A. “He points out, however, that the ‘college wage premium,’ the difference between the annual and lifetime earnings of college graduates and those who do not have an undergraduate degree, has been volatile in the United States over time.” (Paragraph 7)
B. “51% in business, 55% in the liberal arts, 56% in communications and 56% in leisure and hospitality were in jobs where a bachelor’s degree was not required!” (Paragraph 12)
C. “Currently derided by proponents of a more ‘practical’ curriculum, the liberal arts, he writes, ‘may make the greatest intellectual and learning demands on students of any field.’” (Paragraph 20)
D. “But the relationship between the choice of a specific institution and a major and a lucrative and fulfilling first job and career is complicated. It has lots of moving parts.” (Paragraph 23)
Answer:
D. “But the relationship between the choice of a specific institution and a major and a lucrative and fulfilling first job and career is complicated. It has lots of moving parts.” (Paragraph 23)
Explanation:
Part A question is: Which statement best expresses the central idea of the text?
A. Having a college degree isn't valuable right now, as there are few jobs that actually require people to have a degree.
B. It's difficult to measure the long-term financial payoffs that certain majors will yield, which is why it's best to choose majors based on your interests and strengths.
C. Students should focus on occupation-specific majors, as they're more likely to be placed into jobs immediately after graduating.
D. While liberal art degrees don't prepare students for a specific job, they give widely applicable skills that all employers value.
The correct option is B, and we can see that option D in part B best supports the answer because it talks about institutions, which is where people study to major in a specific area regarding interests and strengths. Also, it mentions that the relationship between the choice of an institution, a major, a lucrative and fulfilling first job, and a career has lots of moving parts. In these moving parts, there are different variables. They modify how well a certain degree will pay off and the many facts that influence the choice of a career.

Read the excerpt from The Code Book.
Just as Whit Diffie predicted in the early 1970s, we are now entering the Information Age, a postindustrial era in which information is the most valuable commodity. The exchange of digital information has become an integral part of our society. Already, tens of millions of e-mails are sent each day, and electronic mail will soon become more popular than conventional mail. The Internet, still in its infancy, has provided the infrastructure for the digital marketplace, and e-commerce is thriving. Money is flowing through cyberspace, and it is estimated that every day half the world's Gross Domestic Product travels through the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications network. In the future, democracies that favor referenda will begin to have on-line voting, and governments will use the Internet to help administer their countries, offering facilities such as on-line tax declarations.
Which questions best help the reader understand the point that "information is the most valuable commodity” today? Select 3 options.
What kind of information is the author talking about?
What does the word “commodity” mean?
How do I file my taxes online?
What role does digital information play in society?
Do all companies accept online payments?
Answer:
What kind of information is the author talking about?
What does the word "commodity" mean?
What role does digital information play in society?
Explanation:
When reading a text, it is common for the reader to find sentences that make it difficult for him to understand the text and the subject conveyed by it. In this case, it is important that the reader asks questions about this sentence or about the text, to be able to demystify the sentence and understand the subject presented more effectively. An example of this can be seen in the text above, where the reader can ask the three questions selected above, to understand the sentence "information is the most valuable commodity." These questions are not only able to associate the term "information" as something of high value in our current society, but are also able to present how the internet was and continues to be an influencing factor in this system that causes the elevation of information as a commodity.

Dear Sir,
I am writing to your esteemed paper about the nuisance loudspeakers have posed in our locality. Many people, be it festivals or not, would install loudspeakers in and around the locality, playing music so loud that we can't even hear our own voices properly. We have written to the local authorities about it but nothing has been done so far.
The issue has led to the disturbance of out lives. Students can't study properly, elderly people cannot have peaceful sleep and babies are affected too.
So, if you could kindly highlight the issue in your daily paper, I hope the concerned authorities would do their part soon.
Thank you.
