Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are
Dead, draws on two previous theatrical
works: Shakespeare's Hamlet and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern Are Dead follows the "off-stage" exploits of two minor characters from Hamlet,
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. While the two main characters in Stoppard's play occasionally
make brief appearances in "Hamlet," as scripted in Shakespeare's original tragedy, the majority of
the play takes place in other parts of the castle where Hamlet is set. While "off stage" in this way,
the characters resemble the main characters in the absurdist Waiting for Godot. As in Beckett's
play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern pass the time by impersonating other characters, engaging in
word play, and remaining silent for long periods of time. These same two characters were also
featured in a parody of a Hamlet, the short comic play by W.S. Gilbert entitled Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern. Gilbert's play makes Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into central characters and
alters the storyline of Hamlet.
The author of this passage chooses to describe four different playwrights in order to (5 points)
convince the reader that one playwright is more talented than another
instruct the reader about the least successful adaptations of Shakespeare
O inform the reader of many different interpretations of the same two characters
distract the reader from the true message of Shakespeare's tragic play

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.

what was the premise of edward abbey's the monkey wrench gang

"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."

In which part of this excerpt from the Gettysburg Address does President Abraham Lincoln argue that the outcome of the war will depend on the determination and loyalty of Northern citizens?
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow— this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Letter of Condolence explanation​

ead the passage from "Two Kinds.”

"You want me to be something that I’m not!” I sobbed. "I’ll never be the kind of daughter you want me to be!”

"Only two kinds of daughters,” she shouted in Chinese. "Those who are obedient and those who follow their own mind! Only one kind of daughter can live in this house. Obedient daughter!”

"Then I wish I weren’t your daughter. I wish you weren’t my mother,” I shouted. As I said these things I got scared. It felt like worms and toads and slimy things crawling out of my chest, but it also felt good, as if this awful side of me had surfaced, at last.

"Too late change this,” said my mother shrilly.

And I could sense her anger rising to its breaking point. I wanted see it spill over. And that’s when I remembered the babies she had lost in China, the ones we never talked about. "Then I wish I’d never been born!” I shouted. "I wish I were dead! Like them.”

Which conflicts are revealed in the passage? Select two options.

an internal conflict within the narrator, who is frightened by the extremity of her anger at her mother
an external conflict between the narrator, who is demanding independence, and her mother, who is demanding obedience
an external conflict between the narrator and her mother over whether or not the narrator will continue to live at home
an internal conflict within the narrator’s mother, who cannot decide whether to throw her daughter out of the family home
an external conflict between the narrator, who wants to be the kind of daughter her mother wants, and her mother, who thinks that’s impossible
