Explanation:

A hush fell over the crowd as Samir approached the stage; he took a deep breath and tried to still the tremble in his hands. He had rehearsed the speech for days, practicing late into the night when the house was quiet. The night before, he had been putting the finishing touches on the speech when his mother snuck up the stairs and stopped by his bedroom door with a mug of tea. “It looks like you will need this. How’s it coming?” She tucked the long end of her sari under her leg and sat on his bed. The familiar smell that reminded him of trips to India tickled his nose as he took the warm mug from her; he pressed it to his lips and took a long sip. “I don’t think they’re going to understand it.” “It’s okay if they don’t understand it in their brains; it’s more important that they feel it here.” She pressed her hand to his heart. “My friends don’t know what you went through to get here, and I want to get it just right because I need them to like the story.” “Your friends will like you no matter what. Practice it one more time, and then you need to get some sleep.” He stared at the words that he had painstakingly crafted to tell the story of how his parents had immigrated to the United States from India. Even though he hadn’t been born at the time, he could feel the heat on their skin as they’d packed up their belongings in Mumbai and boarded the plane for their new lives. After a twenty20-hour flight, they landed in the chill of Chicago; they hadn’t brought enough heavy clothes with them and had to buy sweatshirts from the airport store before stepping out into snow for the first time. His mother had danced around in the swirling white like a fascinated child, tasting flakes on her tongue before the cab whisked them away to their new lives. He didn’t know how his parents got by in those early days of loneliness and isolation, when they didn’t know their neighbors and couldn’t

The Odyssey: Symbolism and Making Predictions, Part 5
struction Active
Interpreting a Symbol
Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and
lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped
the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out
and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining. Then we
put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.
I might have made it safely home, that time,
but as I came round Malea the current
took me out to sea, and from the north
a fresh gale drove me on, past Cythera.
Nine days I drifted on the teeming sea
before dangerous high winds.
What does the sea symbolize in this passage?
loyalty among shipmates
obstacles on life's journey
the knowledge of leaders

Which line in this excerpt from a persuasive essay about conserving energy best uses logical appeal?
Do you regularly forget to switch off the lights when you leave a room? Is your computer always on standby because you’re too lazy to unplug it? The good news, if you can call it that, is that you are not alone. The bad news is that you, and millions of others on our planet, are draining the world of its energy resources. But luckily for us it’s not too late to fix this problem. Saving energy is easy and effortless. A few simple steps and conscious choices can help save the planet and also save on your power bills! Conserving energy is not a choice; it’s a necessity! Switch off the lights when you leave a room. Turn off and unplug your appliances when you’re not using them. You should also ensure that all your household appliances have strong Energy Star ratings. Energy Star-certified appliances use up to 20 percent less energy, which results in lower power bills. Start wearing sweaters instead of turning up the heat in winter. Open the windows in summer to cut down on the energy air conditioners consume. Taking these steps and making a few other conscious choices can help ensure that future generations will enjoy the same conveniences you take for granted today.

ead the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

You could date a great change in the world to a visit one Madame Villeneuve made to France in 1714. That year, Pauline, an enslaved woman from the Caribbean, arrived in France as the personal servant of her mistress. When Madame Villeneuve set off from the coast to visit Paris, she left Pauline in a convent. The young woman spent her time studying with the nuns and went so far in her training that she asked to become a nun herself and remain in the convent. The nuns agreed, which enraged Madame Villeneuve. She rushed to a judge, demanding to have her property back. Was Pauline a free woman, a bride of Christ, or an item to be bought, sold, and warehoused when she was not in use?

Twenty-three years earlier, King Louis XIV had issued a set of rules that defined slavery as legal in the French sugar islands. But when two slaves managed to reach France, he freed them—saying they became free "as soon as they [touched] the soil" of France. The judges sided with Pauline—she was real to them, human, not a piece of property. For Pauline's judges, as for King Louis, slavery far off across the seas was completely different from enslaved individuals in France.

Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, law­makers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence.

To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world.

How do the details in the passage support the central idea?

They compare the end of slavery in the French colonies with the end of slavery in other colonies.
They provide details about the final few years of slavery in Europe and its many colonies.
They provide examples of how laws and attitudes about equality changed in France.
They explain why enslaved people entered convents in an attempt to gain their freedom.

Read the excerpt from a creative nonfiction assignment.
The dog trotted behind me as I hiked through the woods.
A dog is a loyal companion, I thought to myself, even
when the person it's loyal to is a total stranger. Up
ahead, I saw my old friend, Lake Tasika. I looked at the
dog. He looked at me, tail waving. I looked at the lake. It
looked back at me. "Jump in," it said in cool laps against
the bank, though I'd never jumped in before. "Why not?" I
said aloud to the dog. The dog barked his affirmation,
though I was no expert on the meaning behind dog
barks. I dropped my pack and ran.
How does the author's use of parallelism contribute to
the mood of the excerpt?
O It creates an eager mood by repeating actions taken
and observed by the narrator.
O It creates an annoyed mood by showing how the
narrator views the dog as a nuisance.
O It creates a serene mood by emphasizing the solace
and joy the lake provides to the narrator.
O It creates a lonely mood by imitating an echo
sometimes found near a remote mountain lake.
