A The growing cities of the Middle Ages could be exciting places. However, many were dark, unsafe, and unhealthy. Streets were narrow, crooked, and filthy. There were no streetlights or police. Many people did not go out alone at night for fear of robbers. If people did go out, they often took servants along with them for protection and to carry lanterns or torches to light the way. Waste was dumped into open gutters. All in all, conditions were disgusting. This caused diseases to spread quickly through the crowded cities.
B Beginning in 1347, one such disease, a terrible plague, swept through Europe. The disease was called the Black Death because of the darkened color of its victims’ faces after they died. The plague began in Asia and spread along busy trade routes. Trading ships carried the disease west to the Mediterranean. From the Mediterranean ports, the disease spread throughout most of Europe. Rats on the ships carried the disease. Fleas from the rats spread the disease to people.
C Once people became infected, the disease could be spread from person to person. People became infected as they came in contact with the sick. According to Jean de Venette, a friar who lived at the time, young people were more likely to die than old people. Those who got sick lasted only two or three days and then died suddenly. This happened in such great numbers that often those who lived could not keep up with burying the dead. The friar wrote, “Someone who was healthy one day could be dead and buried the next. . . . A healthy person who visited the sick hardly ever escaped death.”
D No one knows the exact number of plague deaths in Europe. Some guess that about 25 million people died in Europe from 1347 to 1351. This was about one third of the entire population. The death rate varied from place to place. Towns seemed to be harder hit than the countryside. Some entire villages and towns were wiped out. The plague affected the rich as well as the poor. Even the great and powerful, including royalty, were struck down. Throughout Europe, populations were devastated by, as the Welsh called it, “death coming into our midst like black smoke.”
E The Black Death greatly affected Europe. Relations between the upper classes and lower classes changed. Workers, now in short supply, demanded higher wages. In several European countries, peasants staged uprisings. There were emotional effects as well. In some areas, the theme of death appeared in poetry, sculpture, and painting. People’s faith was shaken. The church lost some of its power and importance. The Black Death took a greater toll on human life than any war or illness before that time. It was perhaps the greatest tragedy in all of European history.

What is the main idea of paragraph C?
a.
How they buried the dead
c.
How quickly the plague spread
b.
The cause of the plague
d.
The role of the clergy


Please select the best answer from the choices provided

A
B
C
D

Answer:

C

Explanation:

These kind of questions are extremely difficult to answer. There are 4 answers and none of them are completely correct.

You can eliminate D the quickest. The person talking about the plague is a clergyman, but nowhere does the author say anything about the role of the clergy.

I'm also of the mind that it is not really A. It is not exactly how quickly they buried the dead. More to the point is how quickly people could die once exposed to the black death.

At that time they didn't know the cause of the plague. It wasn't until much later that the cause was known. In the meantime, they did understand that sanitation and living conditions made the job of the plague much easier.

I think the best answer is C. The point was emphasized that it only took 3 days. That's not much time. Pick C.

Answer:

c is right

Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger."
What is the most likely purpose of describing the
amphitheater as "an agent of poetic justice?"
The arena of the king was built, not to give the people
an opportunity of hearing the rhapsodies of dying
gladiators, nor to enable them to view the inevitable
conclusion of a conflict between religious opinions and
hungry jaws, but for purposes far better adapted to
widen and develop the mental energies of the people.
This vast amphitheater, with its encircling galleries, its
mysterious vaults, and its unseen passages, was an
agent of poetic justice, in which crime was punished,
or virtue rewarded, by the decrees of an impartial and
incorruptible chance.
to suggest that the king is a fair and just ruler
to reveal that the trials always end the same just
way
to show that the building's architecture is a beautiful
site of justice
O to imply that justice given out in the arena is not just
at all

from Heidi By Johanna Spyri

The early light of morning lay rosy red upon the mountains, and a fresh breeze rustled through the fir trees and set their ancient branches waving to and fro. The sound awoke Heidi and she opened her eyes. The roaring in the trees always stirred a strong emotion within her and seemed to draw her irresistibly to them. So she jumped out of bed and dressed herself as quickly as she could, but it took her some time even then, for she was careful now to be always clean and tidy.

When she went down her ladder she found her grandfather had already left the hut. He was standing outside looking at the sky and examining the landscape as he did every morning, to see what sort of weather it was going to be.

Little pink clouds were floating over the sky, that was growing brighter and bluer with every minute, while the heights and the meadow lands were turning gold under the rising sun, which was just appearing above the topmost peaks.

"O how beautiful! how beautiful! Good-morning, grandfather!" cried Heidi, running out.

"What, you are awake already, are you?" he answered, giving her a morning greeting.

Then Heidi ran round to the fir trees to enjoy the sound she loved so well, and with every fresh gust of wind which came roaring through their branches she gave a fresh jump and cry of delight.

Read the sentence below and answer the question that follows:

So she jumped out of bed and dressed herself as quickly as she could, but it took her some time even then, for she was careful now to be always clean and tidy.

The words "she was careful now" indicate Heidi has become more

emotional
particular
restless

A local community college professor decided to fight back. "The price of books for our students is just
getting higher and higher and, combined with the rising cost of tuition, it's killing these kids," said Peter

Jason, Ph.D. "Remember, students are one of the poorest groups of people in America. Almost half of them

have at least one part-time job. In fact, one of my students has three jobs. She is a part-time sales clerk at a

clothing store three days a week, then works three evenings a week as a pizza cook, and on weekends she

does manicures at a beauty salon. And she still manages to have a high GPA and go to school full-time."

Textbook prices are traditionally high. Adding to that problem, many college instructors change

textbooks year after year; they either upgrade to a new edition or switch to an entirely different textbook.

This further hurts students because if an instructor no longer uses a particular textbook, that book has no

resale value.

Dr. Jason decided to make life a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing his own book

on public speaking. "Many books have an increased price because of bells and whistles: CD-ROMs, lots of

color photographs, and lots of graphics. I talked to my students, and many of them, like me, prefer to keep

things simple. So, during a sabbatical a few years ago, I wrote my own textbook. I made sure that it wasn't

long-winded. I called it Successful Public Speaking: How To Be Brief, Concise, and to the Point.

"Compared to most other public speaking primers, mine is half the number of pages, and one-third the

price. That is, $30 instead of $90. Plus, it is published in a three-ring binder format. So, when I wrote a

second edition last year, students only had to buy the 35 new pages and delete 35 of the original pages. For

only $7.00, they had upgraded to the new edition. I've had great feedback from my students about this looseleaf concept. Maybe the word will get out, and more writers and publishers will try it."
