Read the passage. excerpt from The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. "What's happened to me?" he thought. It wasn't a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls. A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table - Samsa was a travelling salesman - and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. "How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense", he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn't get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was. He must have tried it a hundred times, shut his eyes so that he wouldn't have to look at the floundering legs, and only stopped when he began to feel a mild, dull pain there that he had never felt before. "Oh, God", he thought, "what a strenuous career it is that I've chosen! Travelling day in and day out. Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home, and on top of that there's the curse of travelling, worries about making train connections, bad and irregular food, contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them. It can all go to Hell!" He felt a slight itch up on his belly; pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was, and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn't know what to make of; and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back because as soon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold shudder. Read these sentences from Paragraph 1 of the passage. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. Which word has a meaning most similar to the meaning of pitifully in the passage? sadly pathetically comically mildly

Read the passage. Published in 1833, Black Hawk's autobiography describes the Sauk chief's early life, his rise to chiefdom, and his experiences as a leader during the Black Hawk War of 1832. excerpt from Autobiography of Ma-Ka-Tai-Me-She-Kia-Kiak, or Black Hawk by Black Hawk I was born at the Sac village, on Rock river, in the year 1767, and am now in my 67th year. My great grandfather, Nanamakee, or Thunder, according to the tradition given me by my father, Pyesa, was born in the vicinity of Montreal, Canada, where the Great Spirit first placed the Sac nation, and inspired him with a belief that, at the end of four years he should see a white man, who would be to him a father. Consequently he blacked his face, and eat but once a day, just as the sun was going down, for three years, and continued dreaming, throughout all this time whenever he slept. When the Great Spirit again appeared to him, and told him that, at the end of one year more, he should meet his father, and directed him to start seven days before its expiration, and take with him his two brothers, Namah, or Sturgeon, and Paukahummawa, or Sunfish, and travel in a direction to the left of sun-rising. After pursuing this course for five days, he sent out his two brothers to listen if they could hear a noise, and if so, to fasten some grass to the end of a pole, erect it, pointing in the direction of the sound, and then return to him. Early next morning they returned, and reported that they had heard sounds which appeared near at hand, and that they had fulfilled his order. They all then started for the place where the pole had been erected; when, on reaching it, Nanamakee left his party and went alone to the place from whence the sounds proceeded, and found, that the white man had arrived and pitched his tent. When he came in sight, his father came out to meet him. He took him by the hand and welcomed him into his tent. He told him that he was the son of the King of France; that he had been dreaming for four years; that the Great Spirit had directed him to come here, where he should meet a nation of people who had never yet seen a white man; that they should be his children and he should be their father; that he had communicated these things to the King, his father, who laughed at him and called him Mashena, but he insisted on coming here to meet his children where the Great Spirit had directed him. The king had told him that he would find neither land nor people; that this was an uninhabited region of lakes and mountains, but, finding that he would have no peace without it, he fitted out a napequa, manned it, and gave him charge of it, when he immediately loaded it, set sail and had now landed on the very day that the Great Spirit had told him in his dreams he should meet his children. He had now met the man who should, in future, have charge of all the nation. He then presented him with a medal which he hung round his neck. Nanamakee informed him of his dreaming, and told him that his two brothers remained a little way behind. His father gave him a shirt, a blanket and a handkerchief besides a variety of other presents, and told him to go and bring his brethren. Having laid aside his buffalo robe and dressed himself in his new dress, he started to meet his brothers. When they met he explained to them his meeting with the white man and exhibited to their view the presents that he had made him. He then took off his medal and placed it on his elder brother Namah, and requested them both to go with him to his father. They proceeded thither, were ushered into the tent, and after some brief ceremony his father opened a chest and took presents therefrom for the new comers. He discovered that Nanamakee had given his medal to his elder brother Namah. He told him that he had done wrong; that he should wear that medal himself, as he had others for his brothers. That which he had given him was typical of the rank he should hold in the nation; that his brothers could only rank as civil chiefs, and that their duties should consist of taking care of the village and attending to its civil concerns, whilst his rank, from his superior knowledge, placed him over all. If the nation should get into any difficulty with another, then his puccohawama, or sovereign decree, must be obeyed. If he declared war he must lead them on to battle; that the Great Spirit had made him a great and brave general, and had sent him here to give him that medal and make presents to him for his people. His father remained four days, during which time he gave him guns, powder and lead, spears and lances, and taught him their use, so that in war he might be able to chastise his enemies, and in peace they could kill buffalo, deer and other game necessary for the comforts and luxuries of life. He then presented the others with various kinds of cooking utensils and taught them their uses. After having given them large quantities of goods as presents, and everything necessary for their comfort, he set sail for France, promising to meet them again, at the same place, after the 12th moon. The three newly made chiefs returned to their village and explained to Mukataquet, their father, who was the principal chief of the nation, what had been said and done. The old chief had some dogs killed and made a feast preparatory to resigning his scepter, to which all the nation were invited. Great anxiety prevailed among them to know what the three brothers had seen and heard. When the old chief arose and related to them the sayings and doings of his three sons, and concluded by saying that the Great Spirit had directed that these, his three sons, should take the rank and power that had once been his, and that he yielded these honors and duties willingly to them, because it was the wish of the Great Spirit, and he could never consent to make him angry. He now presented the great medicine bag to Nanamakee, and told him that he "cheerfully resigned it to him, it is the soul of our nation, it has never yet been disgraced and I will expect you to keep it unsullied." Some dissensions arose among them, in consequence of so much power being given to Nanamakee, he being so young a man. To quiet them, Nanamakee, during a violent thunder storm, told them that he had caused it, and that it was an exemplification of the name the Great Spirit had given him. During the storm the lightning struck, and set fire to a tree near by, a sight they had never witnessed before. He went to it and brought away some of its burning branches, made a fire in the lodge and seated his brothers around it opposite to one another, while he stood up and addressed his people as follows: "I am yet young, but the Great Spirit has called me to the rank I hold among you. I have never sought to be more than my birth entitled me to. I have not been ambitious, nor was it ever my wish while my father was yet among the living to take his place, nor have I now usurped his powers. The Great Spirit caused me to dream for four years. He told me where to go and meet the white man who would be a kind father to us all. I obeyed. I went, and have seen and know our new father. "You have all heard what was said and done. The Great Spirit directed him to come and meet me, and it is his order that places me at the head of my nation, the place which my father has willingly resigned. "You have all witnessed the power that has been given me by the Great Spirit, in making that fire, and all that I now ask is that these, my two chiefs, may never let it go out. That they may preserve peace among you and administer to the wants of the needy. And should an enemy invade our country, I will then, and not until then, assume command, and go forth with my band of brave warriors and endeavor to chastise them." At the conclusion of this speech every voice cried out for Nanamakee. All were satisfied when they found that the Great Spirit had done what they had suspected was the work of Nanamakee, he being a very shrewd young man. Based on this passage, which statement is most likely true of Black Hawk's cultural experiences? Black Hawk thought the white man was a gift sent by a powerful being to help the Sac nation. Black Hawk thought the white man was godlike and would take the place of the Great Spirit in his great-grandfather's beliefs. Black Hawk thought his great-grandfather had lied about meeting a white man, in order to become chief. Black Hawk thought the white man lied to Black Hawk's great-grandfather, telling him that a Great Spirit existed when it did not.

Read the passage. Published in 1915, "The Metamorphosis" tells the story of Samsa, a young man who awakens one morning to discover that he has been transformed into a gigantic insect. Unable to communicate and alienated by his family, Samsa tries to make sense of his new, absurd reality. excerpt from The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.

Melody for Saxophone Man it was a dead-air day— the soundproof sky pressing its gray padding onto my head the bare silver trees were flutes no one's fingers played and I remembered it was the shortest day of the year. I muted my brain through an echoless tunnel— Then the hill crest launched a sky tune On the ridge a whiskered saxophone man in a cloud-black coat leaned back tossed bebop notes, rang the bell of his gold horn— they swirled kicked curled poured like steam breaking free like time looping loops— I rose spinning among them shedding pink blue orange gold sparks like a Roman candle and sound-painted all the land the silver trees tootled counterpoint the hills streamed chorus after chorus the old man nodded lipped tongued spit head rolling cheeks blowing waist wrenching fingers racing grin cracking the airwaves I was the tune.

And I water'd it in fears, Night and morning with my tears: And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.

He returns to Juliet for their wedding night before leaving. In this excerpt, it is the next morning and Romeo must leave Juliet. He does not know when he will see her again. Act III. Scene V. Capulet's orchard. Enter Romeo and Juliet aloft, at the window. Juliet: Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day. It was the nightingale, and not the lark, That pierc'd the fearful hollow of thine ear. Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate tree. Believe me, love, it was the nightingale. Romeo: It was the lark, the herald of the morn; No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks Do lace the severing clouds in yonder East. Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. I must be gone and live, or stay and die. Juliet: Yond light is not daylight; I know it, I. It is some meteor that the sun exhales To be to thee this night a torchbearer And light thee on the way to Mantua. Therefore stay yet; thou need'st not to be gone. Romeo: Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death. I am content, so thou wilt have it so. I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye, 'Tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow; Nor that is not the lark whose notes do beat The vaulty heaven so high above our heads. I have more care to stay than will to go. Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so. How is't, my soul? Let's talk; it is not day. Juliet: It is, it is! Hie hence, be gone, away! It is the lark that sings so out of tune, Straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps. Some say the lark makes sweet division; This doth not so, for she divideth us. Some say the lark and loathed toad chang'd eyes; O, now I would they had chang'd voices too, Since arm from arm that voice doth us affray, Hunting thee hence with hunt's-up to the day! O, now be gone! More light and light it grows. Romeo: More light and light—more dark and dark our woes! [Enter Nurse] Nurse: Madam! Juliet: Nurse? Nurse: Your lady mother is coming to your chamber. The day is broke; be wary, look about. Juliet: Then, window, let day in, and let life out. [Exit] Romeo: Farewell, farewell! One kiss, and I'll descend. He goeth down. Juliet: Art thou gone so, my lord, my love, my friend? I must hear from thee every day in the hour, For in a minute there are many days. O, by this count I shall be much in years Ere I again behold my Romeo! Romeo: Farewell! I will omit no opportunity That may convey my greetings, love, to thee. Juliet: O, think'st thou we shall ever meet again? Romeo: I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve For sweet discourses in our time to come. Juliet: O God, I have an ill-divining soul! Methinks I see thee, now thou art below, As one dead in the bottom of a tomb. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale. Romeo: And trust me, love, in my eye so do you. Dry sorrow drinks our blood. Adieu, adieu! [Exit] Juliet: O Fortune, Fortune! all men call thee fickle. If thou art fickle, what dost thou with him That is renown'd for faith? Be fickle, Fortune, For then I hope thou wilt not keep him long But send him back. Lady: [within] Ho, daughter! are you up? Juliet: Who is't that calls? It is my lady mother. Is she not down so late, or up so early? What unaccustom'd cause procures her hither? [Enter Mother] Lady: Why, how now, Juliet? Juliet: Madam, I am not well. Lady: Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears? An if thou couldst, thou couldst not make him live. Therefore have done. Some grief shows much of love; But much of grief shows still some want of wit. Juliet: Yet let me weep for such a feeling loss. Lady: So shall you feel the loss, but not the friend Which you weep for. Juliet: Feeling so the loss, I cannot choose but ever weep the friend. Lady: Well, girl, thou weep'st not so much for his death As that the villain lives which slaughter'd him. Juliet: What villain, madam? Lady: That same villain Romeo. Juliet: [aside] Villain and he be many miles asunder.— God pardon him! I do, with all my heart; And yet no man like he doth grieve my heart. Lady: That is because the traitor murderer lives. Juliet: Ay, madam, from the reach of these my hands. Would none but I might venge my cousin's death! Lady: We will have vengeance for it, fear thou not. Then weep no more. I'll send to one in Mantua, Where that same banish'd runagate doth live, Shall give him such an unaccustom'd dram That he shall soon keep Tybalt company; And then I hope thou wilt be satisfied. Juliet: Indeed I never shall be satisfied With Romeo till I behold him—dead— Is my poor heart so for a kinsman vex'd. Madam, if you could find out but a man To bear a poison, I would temper it; That Romeo should, upon receipt thereof, Soon sleep in quiet. O, how my heart abhors To hear him nam'd and cannot come to him, To wreak the love I bore my cousin Tybalt Upon his body that hath slaughter'd him! Lady: Find thou the means, and I'll find such a man. But now I'll tell thee joyful tidings, girl. Juliet: And joy comes well in such a needy time. What are they, I beseech your ladyship? Lady: Well, well, thou hast a careful father, child; One who, to put thee from thy heaviness, Hath sorted out a sudden day of joy That thou expects not nor I look'd not for. Juliet: Madam, in happy time! What day is that? Lady: Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride. Juliet: Now by Saint Peter's Church, and Peter too, He shall not make me there a joyful bride! I wonder at this haste, that I must wed Ere he that should be husband comes to woo. I pray you tell my lord and father, madam, I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, Rather than Paris. These are news indeed! How does Shakespeare create tension in this scene? Juliet's demand that Romeo constantly send her messages is so unrealistic that the audience foresees she will be disappointed. Romeo and Juliet's disagreement about whether the bird is a nightingale or a lark is symbolic of the unknown threat that approaches. The Nurse's sudden entrance, communicating a sharp warning, alerts the characters and the audience to danger. Romeo and Juliet's love for each other is so deep and pure that any audience would know problems will arise.

Read the passage. Future Batteries Could Charge in 30 Seconds by Jay Levine, NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center Future cell phones and other electronics could have batteries that charge in less than a minute. This new capability will be in part thanks to a space experiment using hard, flexible material as a clean power source. That potential future is scheduled for launch on the Orbital ATK's S.S. Deke Slayton II Cygnus spacecraft atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket Dec. 3. A team of students attending Desert Christian School in Lancaster, California, with the support of NASA mentors and the University of California, Los Angeles, developed the experiment. Three engineers from NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center on Edwards Air Force Base in California volunteered to assist the students and the funding for the experiment was provided by the center. Allen Parker oversaw the software team, Phil Hamory advised the engineering component and Craig Stephens assisted the public relations staff. Another key figure is UCLA researcher Richard Kaner, who leads Kaner Laboratory. He has met with both teams of students from Desert Christian and provided the graphene materials and research. The experiment is designed to see how graphene-based supercapacitors charge, discharge and deteriorate in a microgravity environment. The supercapacitors could offer the best of each with the fast charging of a capacitor, while having the slow power discharge of power like a battery, Stephens explained. In fact, the material is sandwiched between two lithium battery cases. The advanced space battery may lead to a number of terrestrial uses from the mobile phone industry for charging cell phones to the transportation industry for running large refrigeration units more efficiently - and environmentally clean - for semi trucks, Stephens added. Once International Space Station astronauts start the experiment, data collected will be e-mailed to the students every three days during the 30-day experiment. It is the second attempt to transport the experiment to space. The first try was June 28 on a Space-X Falcon 9 rocket that was lost shortly after launch. However, the Desert Christian team and its mentors had foreseen the possibility of a challenge and the students created two identical experiments. Trevor Sattler, who is a senior and was on the team during the formulation and construction of both experiments, remembers the disappointment of the first launch and loss of the experiment, but is happy to be a part of the two ongoing experiments. "Life doesn't always go perfectly," he lamented. "It will be awesome if these experiments go well. We are using leading-edge technology with super simple methods well suited for our abilities. As a freshman (in high school) I never envisioned working on an experiment that would be transported into space." Sattler also has gained much from working on this project and said he hopes to apply for a NASA summer internship, as three of his former team members had done this past summer. Jonathan Lokos, Logan Francisco and Kyler Stephens were on the first Desert Christian team and had applied for and received internships at Armstrong. "My work on this confirms to me that I want to be a mechanical engineer," Sattler said. "I always liked seeing how things work and how to make them work better. It would be amazing if I had the opportunity to work at NASA Armstrong." Hannah Laubach, a junior on the engineering team, also has learned from the opportunity. "It has been great to work with mentors and learn what it would be like on that career path," she said. The experiment consists of eight supercapacitors in a housing. Hamory explained that there are four each of the two types of supercapacitors. Every supercapacitor has a metal plate on each side, but it's on the inside that counts. One set will include an acetonitrile material, while the other set will have an ionic liquid. In other words, the experiment will look at the effectiveness of different materials, Hamory explained. The students are preparing a second experiment, which will look at how the graphene supercapacitors work when heated to 140 degrees is applied. That experiment will be ready in January for an anticipated March launch, he said. An example of some of the jobs the students do are soldering wires for electrical connections and attaching micro heaters that have less energy than a refrigerator light bulb, Hamory explained. The supercapacitors also are placed in a black material with insulation that essentially forms a "sleeping bag" to keep the supercapacitors warm. In addition, students designed and then printed a housing to contain all of the elements on a 3D printer, where the circuit board, gauges and wires also are integrated. For the team at Desert Christian School, the future is about to be launched. Which statement best summarizes how the author organizes ideas in this article? The author provides examples of experiment-related tasks before describing the specific materials used in the experiment. The author states the goal of the experiment and describes future practical applications before discussing previous failures and a plan for an additional experiment. The author provides first-hand accounts and impressions from the research team before introducing the actual experiment. The author states the purpose of the experiment and gives some experiment background before introducing the research team conducting the experiment.

Read the passages. The biblical story of Samson is used as a source for the modern passage "Prince Louie." Samson In a well-known biblical narrative an angel tells Samson's mother, before Samson is born, that if he never cuts his hair, he will have super-strength. The prediction comes true, and as a young man, Samson performs many astounding feats of strength. Samson falls in love with Delilah, a woman of the Philistines, the Israelites' enemies. However, she is a spy for her people, assigned to find the source of Samson's strength. Once they marry, she asks him again and again to tell her the secret, but he keeps refusing. Finally she persuades him, and while he is sleeping, she cuts his hair. His strength is gone, and he is captured and blinded by the Philistines. The Philistines place Samson between the pillars of the prison house so their people can mock him. However, by that time, Samson's hair has begun to grow back. His strength renewed, he pulls the prison down by its pillars, killing thousands of Philistine spectators and himself. Prince Louie When Prince Louie was a small boy living in a humongous palace, his mother, the queen, approached him and said, "My poor little innocent child, someday you will be King Louis of Forbush, and all the cares of the kingdom will fall upon your frail, puny, inadequate shoulders. Fortunately, your amazing mama is, as usual, ready to eliminate all your problems in one astounding stroke. Wear this magic ring, and your kingly power will never fail you. Your enemies will be confounded, and the most elegant of princesses will seek your royal hand." Louie watched in alarm and dismay as his mother slipped the golden circlet onto his princely pinkie. He wanted no part of confounding enemies; all he really wanted to do was chat about philosophy with alchemists and dragons. But princes have no freedom, and the ring clamped tight around his finger, seeping monarchical power, like serpent's venom, through his skin. Alas, it was just like his mama said it would be. By the time he reached the age of sixteen he had conquered three neighboring kingdoms and banished all seven of his brothers (who were continually plotting to usurp him). For his crowning achievement, he gained the consent of the most totally amazing princess on Earth, the lovely Annabella of Gnarltree, to become his bride. But what Louis didn't know was that the treacherous Gnarltrees were planning a surprise attack on Forbush—and Annabella was their spy, assigned to discover the secret of Louis' magic power. She was prepared to try every possible ruse and exhaust all her clever wiles to find out her husband's secret, but let's face it, Louis was completely in love with her and spilled the whole story the first time she asked. In fact, he had been yearning all his life to share his truth with someone. "It's this stupid ring my mother gave me," he sighed. Getting the ring off Louis' finger was hard work, because his pinkie had expanded over the years and the ring hadn't, but Annabella was never one to give up. Two bars of lathery soap later, the gold band had loosened enough to be pulled free. "Thank you, my dearest!" Louie cried. "At last my power to trample mercilessly on the lives of my peace-loving subjects is gone. Farewell, my darling, I'm off to find a dragon's cave next door to an alchemist's cellar, where I can compute the algorithm for universal happiness." Giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, he hastened, although still lovestruck, away. A month later, the Gnarltrees invaded. Storming across the border on horse and foot, they burned, looted, robbed, pillaged—all the usual stuff, in other words. The people cried out in distress, praying for a champion. Louis, who, to his shock and disbelief, hadn't found either a dragon or an alchemist, heard their cries, in the form of a rumor spread by a ragged beggar bursting into a roadside inn. Louie knew exactly what he had to do. A surge of mighty resolve poured though his veins. He borrowed a horse, galloped to the palace, gathered his advisors for a last-minute conference, put on his armor, rode into battle at the head of forty thousand troops, and drove every last Gnarltree off the continent. "But I didn't have my ring!" he exclaimed in bewilderment. "Louie, Louie, Louie," his mother clucked, "who cares about a ring? The power is in you. The ring was just a trick of your fantastic mommy's to help you find your own worth." Louis became more admired than ever, and from then on he ruled kindly over his people. The Gnarltrees were gone from the land, except Annabella, whom Louis could not let go, because he loved her more helplessly than ever. And they lived happily ever after, or at least he did. Her opinion has not been recorded. How does the story "Prince Louie" show the influence of the biblical story of Samson? The basic plot premise—a young hero gains super strength and his wife, spying for his enemies, learns it—is the same. Both stories are about strong young men who give up a superpower that was given to them, but who learn that it was part of their character all along. In both narratives, the Philistines try to defeat the Israelites through trickery, but after an initial victory, they cannot. Samson and Louie are both young men who feel unsuited to the powerful social role in which they have been placed, but who finally accept it.

Read the passage. Ida Tarbell's exposé of the John D. Rockefeller oil company revealed that the company had been rigging oil prices and using illegal business practices to cripple competition. Tarbell's work sparked public outrage and gave birth to "muckraking" (journalists who investigated and attacked leaders and institutions that appeared to be corrupt). excerpt from The History of the Standard Oil Company by Ida Tarbell At the beginning of the work of absorption—1874—there were between twenty-two and thirty refineries in the town. As we have seen, Lockhart and Frew sold to the Standard Oil Company of Cleveland some time in 1874. In the fall of that year a new company was formed in Pittsburgh, called the Standard Oil Company of Pittsburgh. Its president was Charles Lockhart; its directors William Frew, David Bushnell, H. M. Flagler, and W.G. Warden—all members of the Standard Oil Company and four of them stockholders in the South Improvement Company. This company at once began to lease or buy refineries. Many of the Pittsburgh refiners made a valiant fight to get rates on their oil which would enable them to run independently. To save expense they tried to bring oil from the oil fields by barge; the pipelines in the pool refused to run oil to barges, the railroad to accept oil brought down by barge. An independent pipeline attempted to bring it to Pittsburgh, but to reach the works the pipeline must run under a branch of the Pennsylvania railroad. It refused to permit this, and for months the oil from the line was hauled in wagons from the point where it had been held up, over the railroad track, and there re-piped and carried to Pittsburgh. At every point they met interference until finally one by one they gave in. According to Mr. Frew, who in 1879 was examined as to the condition of things in Pittsburgh, the company began to "acquire refiners" in 1875. In 1877 they bought their last one; and at the time Mr. Frew was under examination he could not remember but one refinery in operation in Pittsburgh not controlled by his company In the last paragraph of this excerpt, how does the author's use of language affect the tone? The clause "At every point they met interference" conveys a bragging tone. The phrases "'acquire refiners'" and "He could not remember but one" convey a tone of mocking disapproval. The phrases "finally one by one" and "gave in" convey a tone of weary relief. The clause "he could not remember" conveys a trustworthy tone.

Read the passage. Dickens's novel deals with the events surrounding the French Revolution (1789-1794), including the period known as the Reign of Terror, during which thousands were executed or imprisoned as real and imagined enemies of the revolution. The Cross mentioned in the text is the symbol of Christianity. excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens The new era began; the king was tried, doomed, and beheaded; the Republic of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or Death, declared for victory or death against the world in arms; the black flag waved night and day from the great towers of Notre Dame.... There was no pause, no pity, no peace, no interval of relenting rest, no measurement of time. Though days and nights circled as regularly as when time was young, and the evening and morning were the first day, other count of time there was none. Hold of it was lost in the raging fever of a nation, as it is in the fever of one patient. Now, breaking the unnatural silence of a whole city, the executioner showed the people the head of the king—and now, it seemed almost in the same breath, the head of his fair wife which had had eight weary months of imprisoned widowhood and misery, to turn it grey.... A revolutionary tribunal in the capital, and forty or fifty thousand revolutionary committees all over the land; a law of the Suspected, which struck away all security for liberty or life, and delivered over any good and innocent person to any bad and guilty one; prisons gorged with people who had committed no offence, and could obtain no hearing; these things became the established order and nature of appointed things, and seemed to be ancient usage before they were many weeks old. Above all, one hideous figure grew as familiar as if it had been before the general gaze from the foundations of the world—the figure of the sharp female called La Guillotine. It was the popular theme for jests; it was the best cure for headache, it infallibly prevented the hair from turning grey, it imparted a peculiar delicacy to the complexion, it was the National Razor which shaved close: who kissed La Guillotine, looked through the little window and sneezed into the sack. It was the sign of the regeneration of the human race. It superseded the Cross. Models of it were worn on breasts from which the Cross was discarded, and it was bowed down to and believed in where the Cross was denied. How do the historical conditions of this period affect this excerpt from the novel? The fact that there is terror in all periods of history is revealed in the description of the Reign of Terror continuing night and day without a pause. The relentless violent horror of the Reign of Terror expresses itself in the long, gruesomely detailed descriptions. Dickens's lack of understanding of the revolution's horror is shown in his comical description of the guillotine. The rightness of the cause of the revolution is proven by the description of the thousands of revolutionary committees that sprang up.

Read the passage. March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom courtesy of the National Park Service It was the largest gathering for civil rights of its time. An estimated 250,000 people attended the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, arriving in Washington, D.C. by planes, trains, cars, and buses from all over the country. March on Washington Intro The event focused on employment discrimination, civil rights abuses against African Americans, Latinos, and other disenfranchised groups, and support for the Civil Rights Act that the Kennedy Administration was attempting to pass through Congress. This momentous display of civic activism took place on the National Mall, "America's Front Yard" and was the culmination of an idea born more than 20 years before. While the March was a collaborative effort, sponsored by leaders of various student, civil rights, and labor organizations, the original idea came from A. Philip Randolph, a labor organizer and founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Negro American Labor Council (NALC). His vision for a march on the Nation's Capital dated to the 1940s when he twice proposed large-scale marches to protest segregation and discrimination in the U.S. military and the U.S. defense industry and to pressure the White House to take action. The pressure worked. President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802 (Prohibition of Discrimination in the Defense Industry, 1941) and President Truman signed Executive Order 9981 (Desegregation of the Armed Forces, 1948), and Randolph cancelled the marches. Organizing the March By the 1960s, a public expression of dissatisfaction with the status quo was considered necessary and a march was planned for 1963, with Randolph as the titular head. Joining Randolph in sponsoring the March were the leaders of the five major civil rights groups: Roy Wilkins of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Whitney Young of the National Urban League (NUL), Martin Luther King, Jr. of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), James Farmer of Congress On Racial Equality, and John Lewis of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). These "Big Six," as they were called, expanded to include Walter Reuther of the United Auto Workers (UAW), Joachim Prinz of the American Jewish Congress (AJC), Eugene Carson Blake of the Commission on Religion and Race of the National Council of Churches, and Matthew Ahmann of the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice. In addition, Dorothy Height of the National Council of Negro Women participated in the planning, but she operated in the background of this male dominated, leadership group. The March was organized in less than 3 months. Randolph handed the day-to-day planning to his partner in the March on Washington Movement, Bayard Rustin, a pioneer of the 1947 Journey of Reconciliation and a brilliant strategist of nonviolent direct action protests. Rustin planned everything, from training "marshals" for crowd control using nonviolent techniques to the sound system and setup of porta-potties. There was also an Organizing Manual that laid out a statement of purpose, specific talking points, and logistics. Rustin saw that to maintain order over such a large crowd, there needed to be a highly organized support structure. Rustin coordinated a staff of over 200 civil rights activists and organizers to assist in publicizing the march and recruiting marchers, organizing churches to raise money, coordinating buses and trains, and administering all of the other logistical details. In many ways, the March defied expectations. The number of people that attended exceeded the initial estimates made by the organizers. Rustin had indicated that they expected over 100,000 people to attend - the final estimate was 250,000, 190,000 blacks and 60,000 whites. A Powerful, Peaceful Protest With that many people converging on the city, there were concerns about violence. The Washington, D.C. police force mobilized 5,900 officers for the march and the government mustered 6,000 soldiers and National Guardsmen as additional protection. President Kennedy thought that if there were any problems, the negative perceptions could undo the civil rights bill making its way through Congress. In the end, the crowds were calm and there were no incidents reported by police. While the March was a peaceful occasion, the words spoken that day at the Lincoln Memorial were not just uplifting and inspirational such as Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, they were also penetrating and pointed. There was a list of "Ten Demands" from the sponsors, insisting on a fair living wage, fair employment policies, and desegregation of school districts. John Lewis in his speech said that "we do not want our freedom gradually but we want to be free now" and that Congress needed to pass "meaningful legislation" or people would march through the South. Although the SNCC chairman had toned down his remarks at the request of white liberals and moderate black allies, he still managed to criticize both political parties for moving too slowly on civil rights. Others such as Whitney Young and Joachim Prinz spoke of the need for justice, for equal opportunity, for full access to the American Dream promised with the Declaration of Independence and reaffirmed with the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. They spoke of jobs, and of a life free from the indifference of lawmakers to people's plights. In the end, after all of the musical performances, speeches, and politics, it was the people that truly made the March on Washington a success. They brought box lunches, having spent all they could spare to get to Washington; some dressed as if attending a church service while others wore overalls and boots; veterans of the Civil Rights Movement and individuals new to the issues locked arms, clapped and sang and walked. Many began without their leaders, who were making their way to them from meetings on Capitol Hill. They could no longer be patient and they could no longer be held back, and so they started to march - Black, White, Latino, American Indian, Jewish, Christian, men, women, famous, anonymous, but ultimately all Americans, all marching for their civil rights. How do the headings in the passage help to develop the author's ideas? They highlight the contributions of different groups participating in the March and evaluate their impact in the community. They present sections that each explain how the March affected progress in the areas of voting rights, job opportunities, and desegregation. They summarize the central causes that participants were marching for and the progress made in areas as a result of the March. They introduce sections that discuss why the March came to be, how it was put together, and what outcomes occurred.

Read the passage. APA Stylistics: Avoiding Bias Avoid Gendered Pronouns When writing, it is important that gender differences are clear and obvious. However, you should not use gender terms unnecessarily. For example, writers should not use "he," "his" or "men" as generic terms that apply to both sexes. The style guide does not recommend replacing "he" with "he or she," "she or he," "he/she." Alternating between the two are inappropriate and may distract the reader from the main idea of the text. In addition, the reader may think of a specific gender in which the writer may not have intended. To avoid bias of using gendered pronouns: Use plural nouns or plural pronouns—for the opportunity to use "they" or "their" Use an article rather than a pronoun—instead of "his" use "the" Eliminate the pronoun—Omitting "his" is fine for many sentences. Replace the pronoun with a noun such as "child" "person", "physician," "researcher," etc. Which revision of the first sentence follows the style guide and best retains the clarity of the original? We conducted a survey of every notary public in the immediate area and asked which type of notary stamp he or she liked best. Everyone but Sara and Jonah chose a pre-inked stamp. Her preference was an embosser and his was an integrated ink pad. We conducted a survey of all notaries public in the immediate area and asked which type of notary stamp he/she liked best.
