There's a condition in combat that occurs when a soldier is completely stressed
out and is "on the verge of a nervous collapse." In World War I it was called 'shell
shock. Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables. Shell shock. It almost
sounds like the guns themselves

...[i]n World War II the same combat condition was called "battle fatigue." Four syllables now; takes a little longer to say. Doesn't seem to hurt as much...
By the... Korean War... the very same condition was being called "operational
exhaustion." The phrase was up to eight syllables now, and any last traces of
humanity had been completely squeezed out of it....
Then... we got into Vietnam, and, thanks to the deceptions surrounding that war,
it's no surprise that the very same condition was referred to as "post-traumatic
stress disorder." Still eight syllables, but we've added a hyphen, and the pain is
completely buried under jargon... I'll bet if they had still been calling it "shell
shock," some of those Vietnam veterans might have received the attention they
needed.

The Cow and the Carabao
Long ago, a farmer had a carabao and a cow. The carabao was bigger but the cow worked just as hard. One day the farmer said, “I can get more from my farm if my carabao works all day and my cow works all night.” This went on for a month ’til finally, the carabao cried, “It is just too hot to work all day!” “Want to go for a swim?” asked the cow. “It will cool you off.” The carabao happily agreed. They went off without the farmer’s consent. Before swimming, they hung their skins on a tree branch. But it wasn’t long till the farmer went looking for them. Upon seeing the farmer, they rushed to put on their skins. In their rush, the carabao had worn the cow’s skin and the cow had worn the carabao’s skin.

Read the two passages and answer the question. Passage 1 [1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation. Passage 2 [1]I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; [5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line [10]Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: [15]A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie [20]In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. Both passages describe a plant. The yucca tree has "foul, greenish blooms" while the daffodil is "golden." What does this word choice reveal about how the two passages view nature? Passage 1 views nature as colorful while Passage 2 views nature as depre
