What is ironic about discussing whether or not to include Cicero in the conspiracy? Select two options.

Casca firmly reverses his position about including
Cicero, as if he hadn't been the one to suggest it in the
first place.

Metellus thinks having gray hair is a sign of weakness
and poor decision-making, but they also have gray
hair.

Casca thinks he is making important decisions when
Brutus is really the one leading the way.

Brutus believes Cicero should included as one of the
conspirators while Cassius disagrees.

Cassius agrees with Metellus that Cicero, but Casca's
wise argument sways their opinions.

Pot O’ Gold by Kathryn Fitzgerald

We came here in search of food

across a tumultuous sea

We came here for a life that’s good;

We'd have stayed home if we could

Máthair cried after we arrived

Each day in the filth she would toil

Athair’d search each day for a wage that was good

to buy food, to buy shoes, to buy wood

They fought long and hard, became loyal and true

To forge a life from something brand new

This immigrants legacy would be seen through

Pulsing through my heart is emerald blood

My grandfather's father’s will, in me

They came here for a life that’s good

I stay here because I could.

Mrs. Olney stood abashed a moment. “Well, my dear,” she said deliberately, “what would you like to take up?”

“I got ideas how to make America better, only I don’t know how to say it out. Ain’t there a place I can learn?”

A startled woman stared at me. For a moment not a word came. Then she proceeded with the same kind smile. “It’s nice of you to want to help America, but I think the best way would be for you to learn a trade. That’s what this school is for, to help girls find themselves, and the best way to do is to learn something useful.”

“Ain’t thoughts useful? Does America want only the work from my body, my hands? Ain’t it thoughts that turn over the world?”

“Ah! But we don’t want to turn over the world.” Her voice cooled. “My child, thought requires leisure. The time will come for that. First you must learn to earn a good living.”

“Did I come to America for a living?”

“What did you come for?”

“I came to give out all the fine things that was choked in me in Russia. I came to help America make the new world. . . . They said, in America I could open up my heart and fly free in the air—to sing—to dance—to live—to love . . . Here I got all those grand things in me, and America won’t let me give nothing.”

"You are not helping," Alicia shrieked.

Ron was driving the boat, and he clearly knew what he was doing. He had been running boats, working crab traps since Alicia was old enough to notice such things. Still, she wasn't sure she trusted him to tell her the truth about things. She was younger, and he liked to tease. She often found herself soaking wet from a dunk, or the loser in a game he'd "forgotten" to explain the rules for. She loved him nonetheless. He brought her treasures from his traps. He told her stories of strange creatures he'd seen in the salt marshes.

"Seriously," Ron continued, slowing the boat down, "they can't really hurt you. It's just a bivalve."

"Bivalve means 'two valves,'" Alicia said, "but that doesn't tell me anything about how hard they bite." Spray from the waves speckled Alicia's back and shoulder. She had turned to talk to Ron, but she also was enjoying a break from getting the spray in her face. It was a warm sunny day, but Alicia knew if the wind picked up she could get chilled.

"Look, it's not going to hurt if you get bitten," Ron said, taking her seriously now. "If you just pick them up from the back you won't have any trouble. Shoot, you pick up crabs all the time and they have a much more painful pinch than a scallop."

"Well, there's a bigger place to put my hand on a crab. Scallops are petite."

"And squirty," Ron added. "You know they move by pushing water through their shell? But seriously, sis, they move slowly. They will be snuggled down in the sea grass when you see them and won't go far if they do move. You'll be fine. Now climb up on the bow, look out in the shallows, and see if you can see any."

Ron had slowed the boat to an almost idle speed. Up ahead Alicia could see many boats anchored on the shallow flats. People walking around the boats would bend every now and then to pick something up from the water. It looked like a small city on the water, with people milling about waiting for a movie to start or a party to begin.

Alicia climbed up to the front of the boat and looked out over the sea grass flats. The water was just a few feet deep, and she could see the dark green blades of sea grass swaying as the waves gently washed across the shallows. The boat moved slowly, and Alicia saw shells scattered here and there and sea urchins with their spiny red orbs. Small translucent fish darted away.

She had only seen pictures of scallops, but when she saw the first brown shell tucked into a clump of sea grass she knew immediately what it was.

"I see one," she yelled, pointing.

"That's great," Ron yelled back. "Wait till you see a lot more than just one. It's not worth stopping for one."

Alicia continued looking, scanning first one side of the boat then the other. She saw a stingray dash away, patches of gleaming white sand here and there, and another few sea urchins. Then suddenly, as if they had passed into a new world, scallops were everywhere. Every few feet on both sides of the boat she saw them. Waving her hand at Ron, she turned and got ready to drop the anchor.

"Here," she said. "Right here is perfect."

Ron cut the motor and Alicia dropped the anchor off the bow. She turned. Ron had already put on his tennis shoes and was putting sunblock on his face. He threw the sunblock in her direction, and threw a leg over the side of the boat.

"Get your shoes on. There's a mesh bag on the seat for you. Use that to collect your scallops. We'll put them in the cooler when the bags get full."

Alicia slipped out of the boat a few minutes after Ron. The ground under her feet was squishy but solid; the sea grass brushed her legs. Spotting a nearby scallop, she walked slowly over, reached down-water up to her elbow-and touched its shell. Sure it would squirt away, she was surprised when nothing happened at all. Reaching behind and underneath it, she lifted the scallop out of the water and up to her face to look more closely. The top shell was dark green, almost brown, with tiny barnacles here and there. The bottom shell was white and smooth.

"Told ya," Ron yelled at her from the other side of the boat. "It's super easy."

Just then the scallop she was holding opened its shell slightly. Alicia saw a row of iridescent blue dots among what looked like frilly whiskers. Was it looking at her?

Suddenly she felt the scallop contract in her hand. Its shell clamped shut, and water squirted out of it. Right into her face.

"Ahhh," she screamed, dropping the scallop and hearing Ron's hoots of laughter behind her.

"And there, dear sister, is the scallop's bite. Do be careful," Ron said, laughing harder.

Alicia had to grin as her brother's laugh grew louder. "I'll take a squirt in the face any day over a bite," she said bending to retrieve the dropped bivalve. It was going to be a good day.

The author spends a lot of time describing what Alicia sees. What do you think is the main purpose of this detail? Be sure to use the text to support your answer. (5 points)

Science Mysteries: Why Do People Yawn?

Science has given humans many amazing devices and useful bits of knowledge. We know so much about our bodies and how to stay healthy, for example. We also know how to make machines and devices that make life easy for us. Scientists dedicate their lives to knowledge, but even with a lifetime commitment, sometimes scientists fail to find all the answers. One mystery that still remains unsolved is why we yawn-what makes us yawn and what purpose it serves.

Recent studies suggest that we yawn when we get tired as a way to encourage our brains. The theory is that yawning helps cool the brain, allowing it to work more efficiently. According to WebMD's article about these studies, when you yawn, your jaw muscles get stretched, increasing blood flow to your neck, face, and head. Also a deep breath during the yawn forces spinal fluid and blood down from the brain. The cool air then cools down these fluids.

Other scientists believe, however, that yawning is a form of communication. This theory attempts to explain why yawning seems to spread from person to person. This kind of behavior is called "contagious yawning" and carries with it a possible social message. Scientists are not yet sure what exactly the message is, but they believe people who have more social empathy are more likely to start yawning when they see someone else yawning.

Scientists will continue to investigate the mystery of the yawn. Is it a leftover behavior from before humans had language? Was it a "Hey, I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep" message? Or is it really just a way to keep our brains cool? While this behavior still is largely a mystery, one thing is certain: you are probably fighting the urge to yawn right about now.

Which word from the text best describes scientists' understanding of the yawn?
