The Golden Spike
Emily had never seen so many grown-ups in one place. There must have been thousands of people! They were standing shoulder-to-shoulder all the way down the railroad tracks, and the crowd must have been at least 50 people deep. It was as if every person in Box Elder County had shown up and brought three friends, and a horse to boot.
Emily's family and her friend Jeb's family had made the two-hour trip to Promontory in order to witness a national event. For the past six years—half of Emily's life—a new railroad line that would connect the entire country had been under construction. After building 1,800 miles of track, there was only one last spike to drive into one last piece of wood.
What excited Emily about this project was the tremendous difference it would make for travelers. She knew that yesterday, a trip from New York City to San Francisco would have taken six months. But starting today, with the new railroad, it would take only one week! Travel couldn't possibly get any faster than that, Emily figured. Railroads were truly the transportation of the future.
Grabbing Jeb's coverall strap, Emily followed him as they wove their way through a forest of dusty pants and dirty boots. She could barely see Jeb at all. Only the steady tug coming from the other end of the strap and his excited shouting told her he was there.
Several mouthfuls of dirty coattails and a few disapproving looks later, Emily and Jeb emerged at the edge of the tracks. Emily's heart leapt. “Wow!” was all she could say. Two beautiful locomotives, one pointing west and one pointing east, were stopped just a few feet from each other. Emily wished she could buy a ticket and hop on board that very moment.
Three men stood between the trains, at the center of everyone's attention. Emily knew by their clean, fancy clothing that they weren't from around here. And unless work clothes were different where they lived, they didn't look much accustomed to hard work. The man in the middle was struggling to raise a big sledgehammer above his head.
Jeb hollered, “This is it!” Emily took in a breath and watched as the man swung—and missed. The hammer clanged loudly on the metal rail instead.
The crowd let out a collective, “Awwwww.” A few men laughed. One of the train engineers blew his steam whistle. Despite sweating in the heat, the audience was having a good time.
The man mopped his brow with a handkerchief and gave it another swing. That time, he hit the spike straight on, and it sunk into place. As the crowd cheered, Emily's thoughts wandered. She was imagining herself traveling quickly to someplace far, far away.
In “The Golden Spike,” one way in which the man with the sledgehammer is different from the crowd is that the man.
A is sweating.
B is rich.
C doesn't have a job.
D has clean clothes.

Based on this passage, what is James Cross Giblin's attitude toward Kircher? Use the drop-down menu to complete the sentence.
But Kircher's ideas about the hieroglyphs themselves were even farther off the mark than those of Horapollo. Looking at a certain group of symbols – which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh – Kircher let his imagination run wild. Without any evidence to support him, he said that the hieroglyphs meant "The blessings of the god Osiris are to be procured by means of sacred ceremonies, in order that the benefits of the river Nile may be obtained."

From 1650 onward, Kircher produced several volumes of such nonsense. It earned him a reputation for being an expert on the hieroglyphs – a reputation that lasted, unfortunately, long after his death in 1680.

Which sentence from this excerpt of Jefferson Davis’s Inaugural Address indicates that secession was the Confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers?
An agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . . There can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the Northeastern States of the American Union. It must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. If, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those States, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. We have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. Through many years of controversy with our late associates, the Northern States, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. As a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the Confederacy which we have formed. If a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. But, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of Providence on a just cause . . .

Which excerpt from "The Masque of the Red Death" best shows Prince Prospero's self-centeredness?
It was in the eastern or blue chamber in which stood the Prince Prospero as he uttered these words. They rang
throughout the seven rooms loudly and clearly, for the prince was a bold and robust man, and the music had become
hushed at the waving of his hand.
O It was then, however, that the Prince Prospero, maddening with rage and the shame of his own momentary
cowardice, rushed hurriedly through the six chambers, while none followed him on account of a deadly terror that had
seized upon all.
O When the eyes of the Prince Prospero fell upon this spectral image (which, with a slow and solemn movement, as if
more fully to sustain its role, stalked to and from among the waltzers) he was seen to be convulsed, in the first
moment with a strong shudder either of terror or distaste; but, in the next, his brow reddened with rage.
O But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he
summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court,
and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys.
