English Exam Review Pt 4 Study Guide

Solutions


"I've been buyin' us tickets for next weekend's show uptown at the Grand. I hope I can talk you into

leavin' the stoop for one night." - ANSWER✔✔-Carla could see all of Grace Court from her chair, but

there was still no sign of her brother. She had been reviewing for Monday's poetry quiz and enjoying the

subtle signs of spring. She closed her eyes and recited a Langston Hughes line, only to be interrupted by

a commotion. It was Lucas, returning on his bike and greeting neighbors as he passed. Soon he skidded

to a stop at the curb by Carla's feet.


"What are you so excited about, Lucas?" she asked, "and where have you been for the past hour?"


"I've been buyin' us tickets for next weekend's show uptown at the Grand. I hope I can talk you into

leavin' the stoop for one night."


"What show?" Carla asked, with mounting excitement at the prospect of an evening out.




Which line from the story contains dialect?


It is a colder climate than Buck has ever experienced. - ANSWER✔✔-At the first step upon the cold

surface, Buck's feet sank into a white mushy something very like mud. He sprang back with a snort. More

of this white stuff was falling through the air. He shook himself, but more of it fell upon him. He sniffed it

curiously, then licked some up on his tongue. It bit like fire, and the next instant was gone. This puzzled

him. He tried it again, with the same result. The onlookers laughed uproariously.

What does this excerpt reveal about the setting of the story?


How will Buck be affected by the unsettling news? - ANSWER✔✔-Buck did not read the newspapers, or

he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog,

strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego.




What is a good prediction question to ask after reading this sentence?


Where are the strangers taking Buck? - ANSWER✔✔-For two days and nights this express car was

dragged along at the tail of shrieking locomotives; and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor

drank.




What is a good prediction question to ask after reading this sentence?


"Well, there you are! I was just fixin' to call you because they ain't got your flight information posted." -

ANSWER✔✔-Ginny headed to baggage claim, knowing she would find her suitcase there. She hoped her

uncle would be there, too, though he sometimes opted to call from his cell phone outside the terminal.

She hefted her heavy carry-on bag, stepped on the escalator, and began the descent.


She heard him before she saw him. "Well, there you are! I was just fixin' to call you because they ain't

got your flight information posted."


"Hi, Charley!" Ginny responded. "We were delayed flying out of Newark, but it was an easy flight."


The two embraced and headed toward the baggage turnstile, where a hot pink suitcase was emerging.

Which line from the story contains dialect?


Traveling by train was common. - ANSWER✔✔-The next he knew, he was dimly aware that his tongue

was hurting and that he was being jolted along in some kind of a conveyance. The hoarse shriek of a

locomotive whistling a crossing told him where he was. He had travelled too often with the Judge not to

know the sensation of riding in a baggage car.




What does the excerpt reveal about the historical context of the story?


There is a market for stolen dogs to be used for labor in the North. - ANSWER✔✔-And this was the

manner of dog Buck was in the fall of 1897, when the Klondike strike dragged men from all the world

into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers, and he did not know that Manuel, one of

the gardener's helpers, was an undesirable acquaintance. . . .




The Judge was at a meeting of the Raisin Growers' Association, and the boys were busy organizing an

athletic club, on the memorable night of Manuel's treachery. No one saw him and Buck go off through

the orchard on what Buck imagined was merely a stroll. And with the exception of a solitary man, no one

saw them arrive at the little flag station known as College Park. This man talked with Manuel, and money

chinked between them.
