Read this excerpt from The Call of the Wild. How does this moment change Buck?

Night came on, and a full moon rose high over the trees into the sky, lighting the land till it lay bathed in ghostly day. And with the coming of the night, brooding and mourning by the pool, Buck became alive to a stirring of the new life in the forest other than that which the Yeehats had made. He stood up, listening and scenting. From far away drifted a faint, sharp yelp, followed by a chorus of similar sharp yelps. As the moments passed the yelps grew closer and louder. Again Buck knew them as things heard in that other world which persisted in his memory. He walked to the centre of the open space and listened. It was the call, the many-noted call, sounding more luringly and compellingly than ever before. And as never before, he was ready to obey. John Thornton was dead. The last tie was broken. Man and the claims of man no longer bound him.

O It gives him a sense of newfound obedience.
O It gives him the desire to start his own family.
O It gives him the idea to sleep through the night in the forest.
O It gives him a sense of newfound freedom.​

What is the author’s purpose in including these details in the subplot?

In an effort to overcome the overwhelming boredom of his ____________, stone-floored prison cell, Tobias exercised his knowledge by identifying each insect he saw by its Latin ____________. The only alternative was to listen to the prisoner in the neighboring cell shout the same ____________ that had failed to convince the judge that he was innocent. In several weeks, the repetitive, daily rant began to sound like a[n] ____________ to Tobias, perhaps a spell that would melt the bars of the noisy prisoner’s cell. The two prisoners conversed occasionally. Tobias, a well-traveled, renowned explorer, related tales from his ____________ life, but the conversation inevitably returned to the topic of the other man’s wrongful imprisonment.

Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from Patrick Henry's famous "liberty or death" speech at the Second Virginia Convention in 1775 emphasizes the American colonists efforts to avoid war? Speech to the Second Virginia Convention by Patrick Henry (excerpt) Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending-if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained-we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!​

What is the purpose of this excerpt from the article "What Is GIS?"?

GIS also can be used for complex modeling to answer a wide range of "what if" and ecosystem simulation questions. These may be cartographic models designed to document the co-occurrence or interrelationship of multiple data layers or they may be hypothetical research models designed to mimic natural ecological systems. Similarly, modeling with GIS can be used to predict the impacts that one set of parameters will have on another. For example, wetlands, soils, hydrography, climatology and elevation data can be combined to model flooding within a river system. Upstream changes in land use within the same system can be modeled to determine the potential impact of conversion of a forested floodplain to residential development or to agriculture. As a result, both natural system responses to storm events and the impact of human land use decisions can be assessed prior to the proposed action.

A.
to warn readers about the hazards of diminishing wetlands
B.
to inform readers about the multiple uses of GIS
C.
to explain the workings of the ecosystem simulations
D.
to instruct readers about proper use of GIS resources

And in many ways the animal method of doing things was more efficient and saved labour. Such jobs as weeding, for instance, could be done with a thoroughness impossible to human beings. And again, since no animal now stole, it was unnecessary to fence off pasture from arable land, which saved a lot of labour on the upkeep of hedges and gates. Nevertheless, as the summer wore on, various unforeseen shortages began to make them selves felt.
