Passage 2: "Columbus"
Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the Gates of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of shores;
Before him only shoreless seas.
5 The good mate said: "Now must we pray,
For lo! the very stars are gone.
Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"
"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'"
"My men grow mutinous day by day;
10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."
The stout mate thought of home; a spray
Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.
"What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say,
If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"
15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:
'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"
They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said:
"Why, now not even God would know
20 Should I and all my men fall dead.
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-
He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"
25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:
"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.
He curls his lip, he lies in wait,
He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!
Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word:
30 What shall we do when hope is gone?"
The words leapt like a leaping sword:
"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"
Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,
And peered through darkness. Ah, that night
35 Of all dark nights! And then a speck-
A light! A light! At last a light!
It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!
It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.
He gained a world; he gave that world
40 Its grandest lesson: "On! sail on!"
Answer:
B)The admiral tells the crew to keep sailing although they only see ocean.
Explanation:
The passage states "Sail on! sail on! and on!'" Multiple times when the sailors doubt they will reach land because all they see it ocean.
Passage 1: Excerpt from Will Yellow School Buses Soon Become Rolling Ads?
1 Tight school budgets could soon translate into Missouri school districts’ selling ad space on yellow school buses.
2 Missouri state Rep. T.J. Berry, R-Kearney, says his bill—HB 224—isn’t a cure-all by any stretch. But legalizing ads inside and outside the buses would give school districts one additional way to raise money in these tough times.
3 “Every single school district has had to deal with budget concerns,” Berry said last week. “And generally speaking, the way they have had to deal with those has been cuts or tax increases.”
4 The school bus is something that is already out there and paid for, he said. His bill would permit districts to generate a modest stream of income from their buses.
5 Few question the need for finding additional funds when it comes to educating children, but at least two groups think the school bus exteriors should remain ad-free.
6 “There is no such thing as free money,” said Josh Golin, associate director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. “There are real costs to this: the price of selling out your students to advertisers.”
7 Students don’t need the first and last message they receive from their schools each day to be advertisements, Golin said. Students boarding a bus are certainly a captive audience.
8 The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services opposes advertising on safety grounds. Obscuring the recognizable school-bus yellow exterior with ads and distracting other drivers “present a safety problem around school buses that cannot be ignored,” the group said in its position paper.
9 National studies have shown that anything that diverts a driver’s attention from the road can pose a hazard, opponents say.
10 “And a big yellow bus doesn’t distract?” Berry asked.
11 Several years ago in Indiana, a Department of Education lawyer suggested that allowing advertisements on buses would invite First Amendment challenges by spurned advertisers, the group noted.
12 Berry said the bill would limit the types of advertising that would be allowed.
13 The regulations would prohibit ads that contain obscene or sexual material, or messages associated with gambling, tobacco products, alcohol, and political campaigns or causes. The ads could not promote drug use or “any illegal activity or antisocial behavior.” They can’t contain “harmful, discriminatory, false, misleading or deceptive” messages.
14 “There are a lot of safeguards being built in,” he said.
15 Berry emphasized that the space reserved for the ads would be “very limited,” meaning toward the back of the bus.
16 By 2012, nine states—Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utah—permitted advertising on the exterior of school buses, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Several, including Missouri, considered it last year.
17 The bill made it out of the Missouri House last year but did not clear the Senate, Berry said. He acknowledged that the idea was “very controversial.”
(questions)
In Passage 1, how does the author compare the issues of tax increases and advertising on buses?
A)They are both actions that require safeguards.
B)They are both issues of controversy in school districts.
C)They are both possible approaches to dealing with budgetary concerns.
D)They are both present problems that cannot be ignored by state representatives.

Aibileen had first thought Miss Leefolt had ______ _______ _________.
Answer: anger toward her daughter
Explanation:
adapted from Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë My footsteps were the first to press the firm, unbroken sands. Nothing before had trampled them since last night's flowing tide had obliterated the deepest marks of yesterday. The sand was fair and even, except where the subsiding water had left behind it the traces of dimpled pools and little running streams. Refreshed, delighted, invigorated, I walked along, forgetting all my cares, feeling as if I had wings to my feet. I could go at least forty miles without fatigue and experience a sense of exhilaration to which I had been an entire stranger since the days of early youth. About half-past six, however, the grooms began to come down to air their masters' horses. First one, and then another, till there were some dozen horses and five or six riders. But, that did not trouble me, for they would not come as far as the low rocks which I was now approaching. When I had reached these, and walked over the moist, slippery sea-weed (at the risk of slipping into one of the numerous pools of clear, salt water that lay between them), to a little mossy mound with the sea splashing round it, I looked back again to see who next was stirring. Still, there were only the early grooms with their horses, and one gentleman with a little dark speck of a dog running before him, and one water-cart coming out of the town to get water for the baths. 5 Select the correct answer.

Through many of the early chapters of Little Women, the March girls make reference to the allegorical Pilgrim’s Progress. Explain how one of the girls, or the family as a whole, relates to the characters and themes in Pilgrim’s Progress. Include details that indicate comparisons that Louisa May Alcott makes between Little Women and Pilgrim’s Progress.
Answer:
This book is prefaced by the novel The Pilgrim's Progress that is a symbol of how to live as a Christian. In this preface it is included the females character of the book, MERCY, no its male character, so it is a sign that this book is a guide for young girls, it is a guide to get the salvation and the self-improvement.
Alcott wants to emphasize that religion is more important that everyday details of life. The four March sisters have to follow saintly feet and have a spiritual journey through their lives, in spite their situation as "little tripping maids".
"Tell them of Mercy; she is one
Who early hath her pilgrimage begun.
Yea, let young damsels learn of her to prize
The world which is to come, and so be wise;
For little tripping maids may follow God
Along the ways which saintly feet have trod."

1 The day of Josephine and Cora's campout had finally arrived. The two friends had been planning the campout for more than two weeks. They picked out a spot for the tent in Josephine's backyard. They chose the games they wanted to play. Now they were at the store with Josephine's dad buying camping food. "This campout is going to be perfect," Cora said as she dropped a bag of marshmallows into the cart. "We have the perfect tent, the perfect games, and the perfect food!"
2 Just then a loud clap of thunder sounded outside. The wind whipped as a bright flash filled the dark sky.
3 "But not the perfect weather," Cora moaned.
4 "That was thunder and that means rain. Rain means no camping," Josephine groaned.
5 "I guess we can stop shopping!" Cora snapped. She began taking food out of the cart.
6 As Josephine's father placed the food back in the cart, he told the girls not to give up on their campout. They paid for the food and went back to Josephine's house to wait out the storm.
7 At dinnertime the sky remained dark gray as the rain continued to pour down outside. The girls sat in silence while they ate. Cora looked out the window and said sadly, "I can't believe it's still raining. Our campout was supposed to be perfect."
8 Josephine nodded as she looked from her plate to the window. Josephine's father told the girls that just because something seems impossible doesn't mean it can't happen. He told them to finish eating, go upstairs, and get ready for the campout.
9 They looked out the window and wondered how they could still have a campout. How would they stay dry? How would Josephine's father build a fire with wet wood? It was not possible that they could camp in the backyard. Josephine and Cora gathered their sleeping bags and games anyway. They walked slowly down the stairs.
10 When the girls got to the bottom of the steps, they smiled. Josephine's living room looked like a forest. The chairs and tables were gone, and potted plants took their place. A fire crackled in the fireplace. Strings of tiny lights glittered like fireflies on the walls. Best of all, the tent was set up in the middle of the room. Josephine and Cora were going to camp after all!
11 Josephine and Cora learned that the rain didn't have to spoil their fun. They didn't need to be outside to camp. They didn't need a real campfire to cook hot dogs or marshmallows. Josephine and Cora's indoor campout was perfect because they didn't give up on it.

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.
League women came and went, usually at a run. Some were "ladies,” like Mary Dreier, others were worker-members, like Rose Schneiderman, a former cap maker, and Leonora O’Reilly, who had started work in a collar factory at the age of eleven. Another League member, Rose Pastor Stokes, known as the red Yiddish Cinderella, used to work in a cigar factory. When she became engaged to the son of a millionaire — they had met at a settlement house — front page headlines in the New York Times announced J. G. Phelps Stokes to Wed Young Jewess. At strike headquarters Mrs. Stokes delivered fiery speeches about freeing workers from the shackles of the bosses.
What conclusion can be drawn by connecting knowledge of the historical time period with information in the text?
The women of the league were wealthy women who had little-to-no experience working in a garment factory.
The support of wealthy league women contributed to the successful outcome of the female garment workers' strike.
Women who worked in garment factories were often married, so it was not critical that they receive equal pay.
Women who did not need to work were not interested in or aware of the difficulties faced by garment factory workers.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn¹ from a laughing fellow-rover²,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

Answer:
According to the Scriptures, God's purpose for the human family included a plan for the redemption of mankind. This plan was in place from the foundation of the world, before the creation of Adam and Eve (Rev. 13:8).
Explanation:
Adam and Eve chose to obey God's law or not to obey God's command.
God's Plan of redemption was written to educate both young adults and inexperienced Christians about what God has done to redeem fallen people and enable the restoration of fellowship. More experienced Christians and those who are more on their spiritual path will also find this book useful. Without a plan of salvation, we would all die and go to hell, so God needed to make a plan of salvation. Now that we have a plan of salvation, we have a chance to go to heaven with Jesus.Learn more :

When the Rosetta Stone was discovered nobody knew how to read the hieroglyphs or ancient Egyptian demotic. The stone was also written in ancient Greek. Since the inscriptions said the same thing in three different languages the Rosetta Sone became a very valuable piece of information. Through the work of many people, it took more than two months to uncover what the Rosetta Stone said. The Rosetta Stone is a rock that was written on by Egyptian priests for the honor of an Egyptian Pharaoh named Ptolemy V Epiphanes.
Even though the Rosetta Stone is in three different languages archeologists and scholars were able to translate it and read the inscriptions in a modern understanding. Jean-Francois Champollion was the first to crack the code of the Rosetta Stone. Napoleon Bonaparte's a french soldier was the first to find the Rosetta Stone with the writing near the town of Rashid. While digging the additions of a foundation for a fort near the town or Rashid in the Nile Delta the Stone was found.
The Damage on the Rosetta Stone made the three texts incomplete. The Egyptian hieroglyphics had suffered the most damage out of the three texts. Some of the text is incomplete due to cracks and missing pieces from the stone, but scholars and archeologists were still able to translate what it said. The Egyptian priests had craved the Rosetta Stone 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty. The stone was made of a material called Granodiorite.
