HURRY ITS TIMED!!! Read this selection from “What I Hope to Leave Behind.”


We have come to a place where success cannot be measured by the old standard. Just to make money is no gauge anymore of success. A man may not be able to make as much as his wife, may not be able to make enough to support his family, and yet he may be a success. He may have learned to be happy and to give happiness, too, in striving for things that are not material.


Which sentence best summarizes this selection?


Success is measured by our openness to new ideas.

Success is measured by the pleasure we create.

Success is measured by our families’ happiness.

Success is measured by the wealth we build.

Which quotation most effectively expresses the concept that outer space should be a place of peace and a place for research?

"'…I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency…'"

"'…but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made...'"

"'…because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.'"

Which details from this excerpt best show that the
author's purpose in including this paragraph is to
illustrate how hazardous the scientists' work is?
There she met Lieutenant Colonel Trotter, a stocky, dark-haired man whom
Nancy had worked with for many years. They put on their inner gloves and
taped their cuffs.
Nancy put a pair of hearing protectors over her ears. She had started
wearing them a while back, when people had begun to suspect that the roar
of air in your suit might be loud enough to damage your hearing.
They hauled on their space suits and sealed the Ziploc zippers. They edged
around each other as they fiddled with their suits.
People wearing biohazard space suits tend to step around one another like
two wrestlers at the beginning of a match, watching the other person's every
move, especially watching the hands to make sure they don't hold a sharp
object. This cringing becomes instinctive.

Read these lines from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi:
This ["cub"-engineer] had money, too, and hair oil. . . . If ever a youth was cordially admired and hated by his comrades, this one was. No girl could withstand his charms. He "cut out" every boy in the village. When his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. But when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of Providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism.
What is one effect of the irony in this passage?

A.
It makes fun of the notion that the "cub"-engineer held a popular job but was popular only because of the accident.

B.
It pokes fun at the unexpected outcome of the accident: The "cub"-engineer is now even more desirable.

C.
It exaggerates the appeal of the "cub"-engineer and the effect he has on girls and boys in the village.

D.
It creates humor in that God's favor seems unpredictable and unexplainable to the young boys.

When trying to persuade readers about an issue, why would an author need to inspire sympathy toward one or more characters in a story?​

"Consumers are fickle, so companies will go to great lengths to keep their interest and attract new customers. One example is the recent trend of “rebranding,” or corporations changing their name or look in an attempt to seem new and interesting. This is an expensive gamble. Do it right and a company gets positive buzz and a bump in the bottom line. Do it wrong, and a company becomes a laughingstock with a lot of former customers looking elsewhere.
"One example of rebranding is Dunkin’ Donuts changing its name to Dunkin’. Marketing experts think this is likely to go over well. It retains most of the familiar name, while shifting focus to the company’s most profitable product, coffee. It feels customer friendly. As the CEO says, 'Friends use first names.'
"In contrast, Weight Watchers’ decision to rename itself WW seems destined for disaster. What is WW supposed to mean, anyway? Something about wellness apparently, but it’s not very catchy and may just remind people of the World Wars. Marketers also note that WW is awkward to say out loud which will make it harder to promote."
Which sentence below is a minor supporting detail of the reading?

Consumers are fickle, so companies will go to great lengths to keep their interest and attract new customers.

Read the excerpt from "The Lady Maid's Bell."

But that wasn't the only queer thing in the house. The very next day I found out that Mrs. Brympton had no
nurse; and then I asked Agnes about the woman I had seen in the passage the afternoon before. Agnes said
she had seen no one, and I saw that she thought I was dreaming. To be sure, it was dusk when we went down
the passage, and she had excused herself for not bringing a light; but I had seen the woman plain enough to
know her again if we should meet. I decided that she must have been a friend of the cook's, or of one of the
other women servants: perhaps she had come down from town for a night's visit, and the servants wanted it
kept secret. Some ladies are very stiff about having their servants' friends in the house overnight. At any rate,
I made up my mind to ask no more questions.

How does this excerpt support the idea that the story is told by an unreliable narrator?

A. The narrator tries to justify having seen a woman.
B. The narrator does not trust what Agnes tells her.
C. The narrator wants to meet the servants' visiting friends.
D. The narrator wants to know who Mrs. Brympton's nurse is.
