Bureau of Reclamation (excerpt)
Millions of years of weather[ing] [had] eroded the canyon walls [where the Hoover Dam was to be built]. Water [had] frozen in cracks and crevices, splitting the rock. Before construction could begin on the dam, this loose rock had to be removed. Special men were required for the job, men called "high-scalers."
Their job was to climb down the canyon walls on ropes. Here they worked with jackhammers and dynamite to strip away the loose rock. The men who chose to do this work came from many backgrounds. Some were former sailors, some circus acrobats, some were American Indians. All of them were agile men, unafraid to swing out over empty space on slender ropes.
It was hard and dangerous work, perhaps the most physically demanding work on the entire project. Laden with tools and water bags, the men would descend the canyon walls. Jackhammer drills were lowered to them, and powder holes were drilled into the rock. The jackhammers weighed 44 [pounds] and had to be maneuvered into position by hand. Once the holes had been drilled into the rock, they were loaded with dynamite. After the shot, broken rocks sometimes had to be levered free using crowbars.
Moving about on the cliffs was difficult and dangerous. Live air hoses, electrical lines, bundles of drill steel festooned the cliffs. The scalers had to carefully pick their way through the resulting maze. The danger from falling rocks and dropped tools was extreme.

Which of the following is an example of an emotional appeal?
A. Many organizations have offered recommendations.
B. It will have global impact in the near future.
C. It will be the greatest environmental tragedy.
D. More than 90 percent of the scientists agreed that it is probable.
The correct answer is C. It will be the greatest environmental tragedy.
Explanation:
When a speaker uses an emotional appeal he/she focuses on using words that will have an emotional impact on the audience or referring to situations that are related to emotions either positive or negative ones. This appeal can be seen in "It will be the greatest environmental tragedy" because it is likely the use of the words "greatest... tragedy" has an emotional impact on the audience considering these words are related to negative feelings such as regret, fear, and apprehension. As a result, this phrase causes the audience to feel in a certain way and believe the words of the speaker.

Question 1:
Franklin Roosevelt's "State of the Union Address, 1941," excerpt
"That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception-the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear."
Roosevelt lists four essential human freedoms in his speech and asserts that these freedoms constitute the moral order and help create and maintain a good society.
According to his speech, what will this "good society" be able to defend itself against?

Franklin Roosevelt's "State of the Union Address, 1941," excerpt
"A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my Budget Message I shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation.
If the Congress maintains these principles, the voters, putting patriotism ahead of pocketbooks, will give you their applause."

Which sentence below shows correct use of an em dash?
a. He didn't hear the doorbell broken - since last week when - the delivery person arrived. b. He didn't hear the door-bell broken since last-week when the delivery-person arrived. c. He didn't hear the doorbell-broken since last week-when the delivery person arrived. d. He didn't hear the door-bell broken since last week - when the delivery person arrived
Final answer:
The correct em dash usage is when it sets off an abrupt change or additional thought within a sentence. None of the given options use the em dash correctly. Commas should be used to separate independent clauses, after introductory elements, and in lists.
Explanation:
The correct use of an em dash in the given options is none of the above. The em dash should be used without spaces on either side to set off a part of the sentence that is an abrupt change in thought or as an additional thought, not to replace missing words or to connect hyphenated words that aren't compound modifiers. An example of correct usage would be: 'He didn't hear the doorbell—since it was broken—when the delivery person arrived.' In this sentence, the em dashes are used correctly to add additional information within the sentence.
Now, regarding the review questions, here is how you correctly use commas within them:
I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time. (Comma before the conjunction 'and' that connects two independent clauses.)
Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet. (No comma needed because there is no independent clause following 'and.')
Taking the elevator to the roof, we hoped we could see the skyline and the bay. (Comma after the introductory phrase and no comma before 'and' since it connects two objects of the sentence.)
Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway and bought ice cream, pizza, and candy. (Comma after the dependent introductory clause and commas in the series.)
I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police. (No comma is needed as the clause 'because she said hers was tapped by the police' is essential to the meaning of the sentence.)
Which option is an example of expository writing?
The correct answer is B. A nonfiction book about the Africanized honeybee
Explanation:
Expository writing is a type of writing that aims at explaining some issue, subject or topic, because of this, expository texts are educational and include mainly facts rather than personal opinions or stories. Also, these texts are usually nonfictional and contain a lot of information that is well organized to help readers understand the main topic. Considering this, the one that is an example of expository writing is "A nonfiction book about the Africanized honeybee" because this is a nonfiction text that seems to be an educational text that provides information about Africanized honeybee or to explain this topic, which is the purpose of expository texts.
What was Titania's role in William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night Dream?
Final answer:
Titania is the fairy queen in Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' involved in a conflict over a changeling and enchanted to fall in love with Nick Bottom. Her role accentuates the themes of love's irrationality and the power of enchantment, and her portrayals have evolved with changing theatrical norms and attitudes towards gender and performance.
Explanation:
In William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Titania is the queen of the fairies and one of the central characters of the play. Her role is pivotal as it intersects with several plot lines, including her quarrel with Oberon, the king of the fairies, over a changeling boy, her enchantment by Oberon and subsequent infatuation with Nick Bottom (who has been transformed to have a donkey's head), and finally her reconciliation with Oberon which helps to resolve the chaos in the fairy and human worlds.
Titania's enchantment and the comedic elements of her romance with Bottom exhibit Shakespeare's masterful use of language and characterize the overall whimsical and fantastical tone of the play. Her character also adds depth to the theme of love, exploring its irrational nature and alterability under magical influences.
Titania's portrayal by various actresses over the centuries reflects the evolving attitudes towards gender and performance in the theatrical arts, from the passionate performances in Shakespeare's time to a more dignified portrayal in the 18th century. Yet, her role remains an essential component in understanding Shakespeare's depiction of love, magic, and reconciliation within the play.
Why did Shakespeare's noble characters speak in iambic pentameter while commoners spoke mainly in blank verse or prose?
In "From Blossoms" what is Li-young Lee saying about the act of eating peaches
Final answer:
In "From Blossoms," Li-young Lee portrays the act of eating peaches as an immersive, sensory experience that symbolizes the appreciation of life's transient pleasures, aligned with Asian philosophical themes.
Explanation:
In "From Blossoms" by Li-young Lee, the act of eating peaches transcends the mere consumption of fruit and becomes a symbol of being fully present in the moment and savoring the fleeting pleasures of life. Drawing from South and East Asian philosophy, the poem reflects a deep appreciation for life's ephemeral beauty, akin to the perspective of ukiyo, the Japanese concept of the 'floating world' which embraces joy in the transient. Lee's poetic imagery conjures a vivid sensory experience, similar to historical artistic expressions such as the Roman wall painting in "Still Life with Peaches and Water Jar" which showcased the simple yet profound pleasure found in nature's gifts. Through the act of eating peaches, Lee suggests an embrace of life's immediacy, an experience that is both sensual and spiritual.

Read this quote from Zimmermann in The Code Book.
In the past, if the government wanted to violate the privacy of ordinary citizens, it had to expend a certain amount of effort to intercept and steam open and read paper mail, or listen to and possibly transcribe spoken telephone conversations. This is analogous to catching fish with a hook and a line, one fish at a time. Fortunately for freedom and democracy, this kind of labor-intensive monitoring is not practical on a large scale. Today, electronic mail is gradually replacing conventional paper mail, and is soon to be the norm for everyone, not the novelty it is today. Unlike paper mail, e-mail messages are just too easy to intercept and scan for interesting keywords. This can be done easily, routinely, automatically, and undetectably on a grand scale. This is analogous to driftnet fishing—making a quantitative and qualitative Orwellian difference to the health of democracy.
What is the purpose of the quote from Zimmermann?
It explains how much faster e-mail travels than ordinary mail.
It shows how easily digital mail can be monitored by outsiders.
It states exactly how many people use e-mail instead of regular mail.
It proves that e-mail is better for the health of democracy than regular mail.

A. Realism
B. Universal
C. Symbolic
D. Science fiction
The correct answer is D. Science fiction is considered a genre of fictional literature. It is fictional literature based on imagined future scientific or technological advances or major social change.
Realism is literary device that shows how things really are. It doesn't use elaborate imagery or figurative language, like metaphors or similes. Symbolism is a technique used in literature when some things are not taken literally by using metaphors. Universal doesn't seem to be a type of literary device, but it is defined as something that is done by all people in the world or in a particular group.
An author's use of foreshadowing helps the reader form _____ about the story.
inferences
predictions
references
theories
The correct answer is: predictions
Foreshadowing refers to a literary device used to give the reader an advance hint of what is going to happen later in the story. It is found, most of times, at the beginning of the story, or of a chapter helping the reader to develop expectations about the events coming. This device is udeful in creating an atmosphere of suspense, oncreasing the reader's interest. In a mystery novel the author can use foreshadowing to give a clue about a murder that will take place.
In that way we know that the reader forms predictions about the story as several clues are given to him to catch his attention.
Which excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis” most foreshadows that the narrator will feel regret for something he has done to Doodle? But sometimes (like right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor, the grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes is ground away—and I remember Doodle. Doodle was my brother and he was going to cling to me forever, no matter what I did, so I dragged him across the burning cotton field to share with him the only beauty I knew, Old Woman Swamp. There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction, and at times I was mean to Doodle. Once I had succeeded in teaching Doodle to walk, I began to believe in my own infallibility and I prepared a terrific development program for him, unknown to Mama and Daddy, of course.
The most foreshadowing excerpt is There is within me (and with sadness, I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction, and at times I was mean to Doodle.
This statement implies that the narrator is aware of his own cruelty and that he has occasionally acted on it on Doodle.
The term "knot of cruelty" is especially relevant since it implies that the narrator's cruelty is deep-seated and impossible to control. The phrase "stream of love" also implies that the narrator's brutality is prompted by his love for Doodle, a complicated and often destructive emotion.
Hence, the first extract is the most blatant in anticipating remorse because it openly discusses the narrator's brutality and his previous acts toward Doodle.
