Read the following excerpt from Sonnet XLIII, "What lips my lips have kissed,
and where, and why" by Edna St. Vincent Millay
What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply,
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.

Passage 1: "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Passage 2: "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle

[1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me,
so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be.
Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch!
Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such."

[5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice,
but he would not heed the caution in my voice.
I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose,
for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose."

[9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite;
after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite.
His daughter wept for her poor starving dad,
so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad.

[13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became,
and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame.
Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret,
then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret.

How does the poem show the theme greed can have negative consequences differently than the myth?

a By allowing Bacchus to refuse Midas's wish
b By changing what Midas wishes for
c By resolving Midas's conflict sooner
d By showing what happens to Midas's daughter

Give one example of each type of conflict.

The restaurant opens for business at seven o’clock, and for the next hour or so, Elisa and the manager hold
down the fort, handling all the orders. As the place starts to get busy, other employees arrive. Elisa works behind
the counter. She takes orders and hands food to customers from breakfast through lunch. When she finally
walks home, after seven hours of standing at a cash register, her feet hurt. She's wiped out. She comes through

What is the authors’ claim in this passage?

Select the correct text in the passage. A writer is using the following text to write a paper about men’s fashion: adapted excerpt from House Decoration by Oscar Wilde And how shall men dress? Men say that they do not particularly care how they dress, and this it is little matter. I am bound to reply that I agree: I can observe that you do not give much thought to your fashion. In all my journeys through the country, the only well-dressed men that I saw — and in saying this, I truthfully do mean to criticize the trendy men of Fifth Avenue — were the Western miners. Their wide-brimmed hats, which shaded their faces from the sun and protected them from the rain, and their cloaks, which are the most beautiful pieces of drapery ever invented, are worthy of being admired. Their high boots, too, were sensible and practical. They wore only what was comfortable, and therefore beautiful. Which sentence in the writer’s paper should the writer revise to include an in-text citation? Men’s fashion isn’t discussed as often as women’s fashion is, but perhaps it should be. Most men wear simple outfits consisting of basic pants and shirts. However, there are actually many options available to men, despite the fact that they might not be familiar with certain historical and contemporary fashions. In fact, the nineteenth-century Western miners’ exquisite cloaks, large hats, and practical boots are excellent examples of high-quality men’s fashion.

Read the excerpt from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Which sentence In this excerpt highlights the story's setting?
We were brought up together; there was not quite a year difference in our ages. I need not say that we were strangers to any species of disunion
or dispute. Harmony was the soul of our companionship, and the diversity and contrast that subsisted in our characters drew us nearer
together. Elizabeth was of a calmer and more concentrated disposition; but, with all my ardour, I was capable of a more Intense application and
was more deeply smitten with the thirst for knowledge. She busled herself with following the aerlal creations of the poets; and in the majestic
and wondrous scenes which surrounded our Swiss home -the sublime shapes of the mountains, the changes of the seasons, tempest and
calm, the silence of winter, and the life and turbulence of our Alpine summers-she found ample scope for admiration and delight. While my
companion contemplated with a serlous and satisfied spirit the magnificent appearances of things, I dellghted in investigating their causes. The
world was to me a secret which I desired to divine. Curlosity, earnest research to learn the hidden laws of nature, gladness akin to rapture, as
they were unfolded to me, are among the earllest sensations I can remember.
On the birth of second son, my junlor by seven years, my parents gave up entirely their wandering life and fixed themselves in their native
country. We possessed a house in Geneva, and a campagne on Belrive, the eastern shore of the lake, at the distance of rather more than a
league from the city. We resided principally in the latter, and the lives of my parents were passed in considerable seclusion. It was my temper to
avold a crowd and to attach myself fervently to a few. was Indifferent, therefore, to my school-fellows in general; but I united myself in the
bonds of the closest friendship to one among them. Henry Clerval was the son of a merchant of Geneva. He was a boy of singular talent and
fancy. He loved enterprise, hardship, and even danger for Its own sake. He was deeply read In books of chivalry and romance. He composed
herolc songs and began to write many a tale of enchantment and knightly adventure.
He tried to make us act plays and to enter Into
masquerades, In which the characters were drawn from the heroes of Roncesvalles, of the Round Table of King Arthur, and the chivalrous train
who shed their blood to redeem the holy sepulchre from the hands of the Infidels.
