Our constitution does not copy the laws of neighbouring states; we are rather a pattern to others than imitators ourselves. Its administration favours the many instead of the few; this is why it is called a democracy. If we look to the laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differences; if no social standing, advancement in public life falls to reputation for capacity, class considerations not being allowed to interfere with merit; nor again does poverty bar the way, if a man is able to serve the state, he is not hindered by the obscurity of his condition. The freedom which we enjoy in our government extends also to our ordinary life. There, far from exercising a jealous surveillance over each other, we do not feel called upon to be angry with our neighbour for doing what he likes, or even to indulge in those injurious looks which cannot fail to be offensive, although they inflict no positive penalty. But all this ease in our private relations does not make us lawless as citizens.

–Funeral Oration,
Pericles

An Ancient Veggie
By Martha Black

Onions have been around for a long time. In fact, scientists agree that onions were likely a staple in the prehistoric diet.
Onions are known to have existed in Egypt in 3500 BC. To the ancient Egyptians, onions symbolized eternity, and many pharaohs were buried alongside onions.
The ancient Greeks also believed in the power of onions. In fact, in the first century AD, a Greek physician convinced several Greek athletes that onions had a medicinal property that would make them stronger. As a result, the majority of athletes who participated in the first Olympic Games ate several pounds of onions, drank onion juice, and rubbed onions over their bodies.
In the Middle Ages, onions were prescribed to alleviate headaches and to prevent hair loss. They were also acceptable forms of payment for goods and services. They were even commonly given as wedding gifts!
Today, onions are primarily used to add flavor to our foods. Furthermore,all evidence indicates that they will continue to exist far into the future.

A student is writing an informational essay about how change can impact a friendship positively and negatively.

A.
Change should not negatively impact friendships. There are many reasons that explain this. Friendship is an important part of life, so people should be more aware of this to keep their friends.
B.
Negative change impacts friendships because people are not aware of the impact change has. People need friends. Positive change also impacts friends.
C.
Change impacts friendships in many ways. However, change does not have to have a negative effect. People who are aware of this are better prepared to weather the storms change can bring about.
D.
Friendships can be affected by change. People should understand how change may affect their friendships. Even positive changes can damage a friendship.

Who is Amy Tan in conflict with in this passage?

Which of these phrases from the passage shows the narrator’s point of view about Stormalong?

Stormalong Story:
Stormalong Disobeys an Order

1 Have you ever heard of Old Stormalong, the greatest sailor of all time? He was so strong that he could win an arm wrestling contest with an octopus with one arm tied behind his back. He was so tall that he used the ship’s mast for a hat rack. And whenever the wind died down and becalmed the ship, Stormalong would take a seat at the stern and start whistling. With just one tune, he would puff out enough air to keep the ship sailing until the breeze picked up again. As you can imagine, ship captains loved having Stormalong aboard, even if it did require an extra supply room just to keep him fed.



2 There are a lot of good yarns about Stormalong. One about his teenage years has Stormy and his friends doing “cannonballs” from a diving raft. On Stormy’s first turn, he leaped out over the water, hugged his knees to his chest, and curled his body into a ball. His splash was HUGE! In fact, the spray created the Great Lakes. The ripples formed the currents that still circle through the oceans today.



3 When he was 18, Stormalong decided to become a sailor and set off for the nearest seaport. The captain saw him coming from two states away and signed him up before he even arrived. Though some in the crew were doubtful about his lack of experience, Stormalong promptly proved his worth.



4 Before the Panama Canal was built, ships traveling between the Atlantic and the Pacific had to sail around the tip of South America. On his very first voyage, Stormalong had lookout duty. He spotted a huge storm near the Falkland Islands. Going through the storm would mean certain disaster for the ship. However, the first mate refused to tell the captain, who was asleep in his cabin. “You can’t see the Falklands from here,” he scoffed. “Get back to your post.”



5 What could Stormalong do? Disobeying orders was a serious offense. He’d likely be severely punished. Even worse, he’d probably never get hired on a ship again. If he did obey the order, his shipmates might perish. Stormalong made his decision. He jumped overboard, picked up the vessel, hoisted it over Panama, and dropped it into the Pacific. The splash woke the captain. He was not angry at all about Stormalong taking matters into his own hands. In fact, he fired the first mate and offered Stormalong the job. (He also began promoting the idea of a canal across Panama.) Saving that ship made Stormalong an instant legend!

Passage:

adapted from Hide and Seek
by Fyodor Sologub

Everything in Lelechka's nursery was bright, pretty, and cheerful. Lelechka was a delightful child, and her sweet voice charmed her mother. Lelechka's eyes were dark and large, her cheeks were rosy, and her lips were made for laughter, but it was not these charms in Lelechka that gave her mother the keenest joy. Lelechka was her mother's only child and that is why every movement of Lelechka's enchanted her mother. It was great bliss to hold Lelechka on her knees and to feel the little girl in her arms—a thing as lively and as bright as a little bird.
"Mamochka, let's play priatki (hide and seek)," cried Lelechka
Her charming inability to speak correctly always made Serafima, her mother, smile with tender rapture. Lelechka then ran away, stamping with her plump little legs over the carpets, and hid herself behind the curtains near her bed.
"Where is my baby girl?" the mother asked, as she looked for Lelechka and made her believe that she did not see her, and Lelechka poured out her rippling laughter in her hiding place. Then she came out a little farther, and her mother, as though she had only just caught sight of her, seized her by her little shoulders and exclaimed joyously, "Here she is, my Lelechka!"

Question:

How does the point of view affect the plot of the passage?
A. The reader knows only what the narrator thinks and sees.
B. The reader knows what some characters think and see.
C. The reader knows what Lelechka feels about Serafima.
D. The reader knows only what Serafima sees and believes.
