Read the excerpt from "Lady Liberty." It was a very good plan given the poor state of repair on Bedloe. Still, Papa and I decided to risk the sagging wooden stairs and climb to the crown. Inside, kerosene lamps were the only light. The air was stale, and it seemed like a place where accidents could happen. Even so, a crowd of people were willing to risk their safety and climb 354 steps for a view of the harbor and city. To me, it seemed as if every stair was a step toward freedom and light.
Which is the best objective summary of this excerpt?
A. The air inside the Statue of Liberty smelled old and stuffy, which made it hard to climb to the top.
B. Climbing up to the top of the Statue of Liberty was worth any risk that may have resulted.
C. There was very little light inside the Statue of Liberty, but people, including the narrator, still climbed to the top.
D. Despite the conditions inside the Statue of Liberty, many people, including the narrator, climbed up to the top.

From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris
Two fifteen-year-old girls stood eyeing one another on first acquaintance. Finally one little girl said, "Which do you like best, people or things?" The other little girl said, "Things." They were friends at once.
I suppose we all go through a phase when we like things best; and not only like them, but want to possess them under our hand. The passion for accumulation is upon us. We make "collections," we fill our rooms, our walls, our tables, our desks, with things, things, things.
Many people never pass out of this phase. They never see a flower without wanting to pick it and put it in a vase, they never enjoy a book without wanting to own it, nor a picture without wanting to hang it on their walls. They keep photographs of all their friends and kodak albums of all the places they visit, they save all their theater programmes and dinner cards, they bring home all their alpenstocks. Their houses are filled with an undigested mass of things, like the terminal moraine where a glacier dumps at length everything it has picked up during its progress through the lands.
But to some of us a day comes when we begin to grow weary of things. We realize that we do not possess them; they possess us. Our books are a burden to us, our pictures have destroyed every restful wall-space, our china is a care, our photographs drive us mad, our programmes and alpenstocks fill us with loathing. We feel stifled with the sense of things, and our problem becomes, not how much we can accumulate, but how much we can do without. We send our books to the village library, and our pictures to the college settlement. Such things as we cannot give away, and have not the courage to destroy, we stack in the garret, where they lie huddled in dim and dusty heaps, removed from our sight, to be sure, yet still faintly importunate.
Then, as we breathe more freely in the clear space that we have made for ourselves, we grow aware that we must not relax our vigilance, or we shall be once more overwhelmed.
For it is an age of things. As I walk through the shops at Christmas time and survey their contents, I find it a most depressing spectacle. All of us have too many things already, and here are more! And everybody is going to send some of them to everybody else! I sympathize with one of my friends, who, at the end of the Christmas festivities, said, "If I see another bit of tissue paper and red ribbon, I shall scream."
It extends to all our doings. For every event there is a "souvenir." We cannot go to luncheon and meet our friends but we must receive a token to carry away. Even our children cannot have a birthday party, and play games, and eat good things, and be happy. The host must receive gifts from every little guest, and provide in return some little remembrance for each to take home. Truly, on all sides we are beset, and we go lumbering along through life like a ship encrusted with barnacles, which can never cut the waves clean and sure and swift until she has been scraped bare again. And there seems little hope for us this side our last port.
And to think that there was a time when folk had not even that hope! When a man’s possessions were burned with him, so that he might, forsooth, have them all about him in the next world! Suffocating thought! To think one could not even then be clear of things, and make at least a fresh start! That must, indeed, have been in the childhood of the race.
One central idea of Morris’s essay is that getting rid of things can be a relief for people. Which two of these details help illustrate that idea?

How does the ballerina’s attitude toward her kickboxing class change? Include examples from the last six stanzas of the poem to support your answer.
from the poem "New Moves"
30 points to whoever answers
Incomplete question.
Answered based on the full poem as found on the Georgia Online Formative Assessment Resource (GOFAR).
Answer:
she later came to develop an interest in her kickboxing class
Explanation:
For example, we notice in the earlier stanzas, Ballerina has a complacent attitude about her kickboxing class. This was evident when she said,
"My kickboxing class has as much grace as
A herd of stomping elephants.
Stampeding towards a watering hole.
It’s a far cry from warming up on the bar, "
However, a change in her attitude begins to occur in the last six stanzas of the poem. She begins to cooperate with her instructor, made evident when she said, "...But I force myself to bounce on the balls of my feet like he told me. " Furthermore, she finally came to appreciate the kickboxing class that she said,
"...when we finish and step back, the class breaks into applause.
I curtsy, laughing, and shake hands with my teacher,
Who has taught me so much more than I expected."

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which is a frequent source of controversy in public debates, says that "a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The controversy stems from the fact that some Americans feel that the Second Amendment guarantees all citizens the absolute right to own firearms, while others believe that some restrictions on gun ownership are consistent with the Second Amendment.
Which of the following sentences best describes the author’s message in this passage?
The Second Amendment addresses the topic of gun control, which is a current issue.
Americans have found that the Second Amendment can be interpreted in different ways.
The US Constitution contains many examples of amendments that people debate today.
There is no need to debate the issue of gun control when the Second Amendment is so clear.
Answer:
B) Americans have found that the Second Amendment can be interpreted in different ways.
Explanation:
The passage says that some Americans think the Second Amendment means all citizens have absolute rights to firearms, while others say access to firearms should have restrictions. These two types of people think the same text means two different things, aka they interpret the text differently.

Explanation:
if given a chance to be the overall in charge of the national security council of the country, what will be your (3) top priority security programs for your countrymen? explain.
Answer:
If I were the head of the National Security Council of my country, I would take the following measures regarding the security of the citizens of my country:
1) Implement a border surveillance system to prevent the intrusion of eventual drug traffickers, terrorists or illegal immigrants that could cause harm to citizens or the economy of the nation.
2) It would carry out a program of renovation of military equipment, both for the army, the navy and the air force, with the aim of reducing old or obsolete parts, and replacing them with last generation materials.
3) It would carry out military cooperation treaties with foreign allied powers, with the aim of having greater protection in the event of an attack by a foreign nation.
My top priority security programs for my country as the boss of the National Security Council will include the following:
1. Identifying and tackling the root of security threats
2. Intensifying security training for personnel by re-orienting mindsets
3. Conducting pre-operational surveillance through active involvement in communities.
These programs are based on the understanding that most security problems in my country emanate internally. Even those threats hatched abroad require the cooperation of internal partners (citizens or non-citizens) to be effective.
Moreover, the active involvement of well-trained personnel who operate undercover will eliminate most security threats. This area of security priority should only be done with proper training and national re-orientation of personnel.
The intelligence personnel should be involved in all societal institutions and may not necessarily live in the barracks or move about with their uniforms.
Thus, grassroots security architecture achieves the best outcomes for any nation that wants to secure their borders against internal and external aggression.
