Read the passage and study the map from Sugar Changed the World.
When the Haitians defeated the French armies, Napoleon lost control of the
world's most productive sugar islands and with it his dream of great sugar
profits. As a result, Napoleon had no use for the land in North America he had so
recently obtained from Spain. Napoleon did, though, need money to pay for his
wars. That is why he sold the vast Louisiana Territory to Jefferson for the bargain
price of just fifteen million dollars. What textbooks call the Louisiana Purchase
should really be named the Sugar Purchase. Americans obtained the middle part
of what would become their nation because the Haitians achieved their freedom.
But, paradoxically, that gave Haitian slave owners a new home.
As sugar planters fled from the revolution in Haiti, some moved to Cuba's Oriente
Province, others to North America—to Louisiana.
How does the map help develop the central idea that the Louisiana Purchase had
profound effects on sugar and the United States?
A-The map illustrates the spread of sugar plantations from Haiti to the Louisiana
Territory.
B-The map clarifies how the Louisiana Purchase eventually became part of the
United States.
C-The map illustrates the size of the Louisiana Purchase and suggests its
economic potential.
D-The map clarifies that the Louisiana Territory was large enough to be sold for
more money.
Answer is A
Read the passage from Animal Farm.
That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had
never in reality been opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he who had
advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the
floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among Napoleon's
papers. The windmill was, in fact, Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked
somebody, had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer looked very sly.
That, he said, was Comrade Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the
windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball, who was a dangerous
character and a bad influence. Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan
could go forward without his interference. This, said Squealer, was something
called tactics. He repeated a number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!"
,skipping round and whisking his tail with a merry laugh. The animals were not
certain what the word meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three
dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted
his explanation without further questions.
How does Orwell use Squealer's explanation to support his purpose?
A-Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's tactics is representative of a dictator who
reverses policies and lies about his reasons.
B-Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's tactics is meant to shed light on why it is
often necessary for dictators to lie to their people.
C-Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's tactics demonstrates a connection
between Napoleon and Squealer that was not previously clear.
D-Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's tactics reveals a connection with Stalin's
intent to do what was right for his people.
Answer might be A?
Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100."
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
What is the central idea of the third quatrain?
If you see my love aging, work against it.
Do not be lazy; we are all running out of time.
Make fun of time, and turn people against it.
Write something to ridicule my love's wrinkles.
Read the excerpt from "How the Whale Got His Throat."
In the sea, once upon a time, O my Best Beloved, there was a Whale, and he ate
fishes. He ate the starfish and the garfish, and the crab and the dab, and the
plaice and the dace, and the skate and his mate, and the mackereel and the
pickereel, and the really truly twirly-whirly eel. All the fishes he could find in all
the sea he ate with his mouth—so! Till at last there was only one small fish left in
, all the sea, and he was a small 'Stute Fish, and he swam a little behind the
Whale's right ear, so as to be out of harm's way. Then the Whale stood up on his
tail and said, "I'm hungry." And the small 'Stute Fish said in a small 'stute voice,
"Noble and generous Cetacean, have you ever tasted Man?"
'No,' said the Whale. 'What is it like?'
'Nice,' said the small 'Stute Fish. 'Nice but nubbly.'
'Then fetch me some,' said the Whale, and he made the sea froth up with his tail.
'One at a time is enough,' said the 'Stute Fish. 'If you swim to latitude Fifty North,
longitude Forty West (that is magic), you will find, sitting on a raft, in the middle
of the sea, with nothing on but a pair of blue canvas breeches, a pair of
suspenders (you must not forget the suspenders, Best Beloved), and a jack-knife,
one ship-wrecked Mariner, who, it is only fair to tell you, is a man of infinite-
resource-and-sagacity.'
