Read the excerpt adapted from Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce:

The wide playgrounds were swarming with boys playing football. All were shouting and the captains urged them on with strong cries. The evening air was pale and chilly, and the greasy leather ball flew like a heavy bird through the grey light. He kept on the edge of his line, out of sight of his captain, out of the reach of the rude feet, pretending to run now and then. His body felt small and he did his best to hide in plain sight.

This is a key event in The Call of the Wild. That winter, at Dawson, Buck performed another exploit, not so heroic, perhaps, but one that put his name many notches higher on the totem-pole of Alaskan fame. This exploit was particularly gratifying to the three men; for they stood in need of the outfit which it furnished, and were enabled to make a long-desired trip into the virgin East, where miners had not yet appeared. It was brought about by a conversation in the Eldorado Saloon, in which men waxed boastful of their favorite dogs.

Q.1) Read this short passage and answer the question below:


Cruising into a Driverless Future

By Chloe Reichel


Eerie as it may seem to drive alongside a car with no one behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles are poised to hit the roads in the next few years. A lawsuit between Uber and Waymo, Google’s self-driving car project, settled in February 2018 illustrates the fierce battle to develop driverless car technology. Many cars already employ semi-autonomous technology, such as parking assistance and lane monitoring. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests that automated vehicles could promote safety on the road. According to NHTSA’s Federal Automated Vehicles Policy, 94 percent of car accidents are linked to human choice or error. Automated vehicles, the NHTSA writes, could reduce the frequency of crashes by eliminating some human error on the roads. The policy indicates positive features of automated vehicles beyond safety, including potential environmental benefits and increased mobility for those otherwise unable to drive. The cutting-edge technology, however, presents ethical questions and other concerns. Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either.


The author organizes this passage by—

A) comparing and contrasting different findings on autonomous vehicles

B) explaining the best way to research the safety of autonomous vehicles

C) presenting in chronological order the progress of autonomous vehicles

D) describing the outcome of extensive research on autonomous vehicles

Q.2) Which quotation challenges the idea that automated vehicles are a welcomed commodity?
A) “Automated vehicles, the NHTSA writes, could reduce the frequency of crashes by eliminating some human error on the roads.”
B) “Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either. “
C) “Eerie as it may seem to drive alongside a car with no one behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles are poised to hit the roads in the next few years.”
D) “Many cars already employ semi-autonomous technology, such as parking assistance and lane monitoring.”

Read this passage from “The Monkey’s Paw” to determine the answers to the follow-up questions.
“To look at,” said the sergeant-major, fumbling in his pocket, “it's just an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy.”

He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously.

“And what is there special about it?” inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table.

“It had a spell put on it by an old fakir,” said the sergeant-major, “a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it.”

His manner was so impressive that his hearers were conscious that their light laughter jarred somewhat.

“Well, why don't you have three, sir?” said Herbert White, cleverly.

The soldier regarded him in the way that middle age is wont to regard presumptuous youth. “I have,” he said, quietly, and his blotchy face whitened.

“And did you really have the three wishes granted?” asked Mrs. White.

“I did,” said the sergeant-major, and his glass tapped against his strong teeth.

“And has anybody else wished?” persisted the old lady.

“The first man had his three wishes. Yes,” was the reply; “I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw.”

His tones were so grave that a hush fell upon the group.

“If you've had your three wishes, it's no good to you now, then, Morris,” said the old man at last. “What do you keep it for?”

The soldier shook his head. “Fancy, I suppose,” he said, slowly. “I did have some idea of selling it, but I don't think I will. It has caused enough mischief already. Besides, people won't buy. They think it's a fairy tale; some of them, and those who do think anything of it want to try it first and pay me afterward.

Part A
Which of the following states an important idea that may be the theme of the selection?

A.Do not be greedy when making a wish.

B.People have no power over the directions their lives take.

C.It is important to think carefully before you wish for anything.

D.Fate rules people's lives, and those who interfere with it do so to their sorrow.

Part B
Which sentences or phrases from the passage best supports your answer?

A.“They think it's a fairy tale; some of them, and those who do think anything of it want to try it first and pay me afterward.”

B.“If you've had your three wishes, it's no good to you now, then, Morris," said the old man at last. "What do you keep it for?”

C.“The first man had his three wishes. Yes,” was the reply; “I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw.”

D.“He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it.”

Hi guys can you tell me how I can improve this part of my essay? (I still need more paragraphs but I want to improve it as I go along.) Feel free to edit and change things it would also be nice if you give me advice on how I can make the next few paragraphs (or anything that can help me lol) Oh and word choice is also a thing I need advice on Here is the paragraph below :3 TYSM in advance


Friendship is a wonderful thing where humans interact with one another and develop a bond. It is built on trust dependence and the ability to rely on one another. There is a certain point however, where one so called “friend” oversteps the boundary of dependence and over relies on the other person. In this case, Lennie oversteps this boundary, becoming like a clinging parasite who can’t function while alone. Lennie knows that George dose many good things for him, but he still acts out. George not only has to

sacrifice a lot for Lennie he even pre plans things to do when Lennie gets himself into trouble.

For starters, Lennie acknowledges the fact that George dose so much for him and still refuses to change. His hallucination even stated George is "such a nice fella an' good to you. But you don’t never take no care" (Steinbeck 11). Lennie knows how well treated he is by George but he still can't control himself even for his best bud. Not only did he get himself in trouble once he did it twice. This truly shows the one-sidedness of this relationship. Additionally, His hallucination noted that "when he got a piece of a pie you always got half or more'n half" (Steinbeck 12). This shows how much George cares about Lenie and would go to lengths as even sacrificing a his own pleasure for him. I know for certain that when someone sacrifices there food for you it means that they really care for you or pity you. Even after George graciously gave many things to Lennie to give him pleasure, Lennie refuses to learn or change even though he clearly sees that George is being very kind to him. Moreover, he does all this for you and you just "stew the b'Jesus out of George all the time" (Steinbeck 16) His hallucination said. This proves that Lennie knows that he is not doing anything nice for George while Gorge is doing all these nice things for him. Lennie is intelligent enough to notice that George is supporting him and going out of his way to be kind to Lennie, while Lennie just takes and takes and takes and repays him in screwups and bad actions. As you can tell, Lennie knows that George is doing so much for him and that he is not repaying him fairly. This proves that he is not a good friend but a pericyte.



Additionally, George is not only being kind to Lennie, he is sacrificing a huge chunk of his life for him. For starters, Lennies hallucination retorted, this whole time "he coulda had such a good time if it wasn’t for you. He woulda took his pay an' raised **** in a ware house..." (Steinbeck 15). This shows the pleasurable life George could have had if it wasn't for the clinging weight of his parasitic so called friend Lennie. George could have had fun and lived his life worry free but he had a unnecessary responsibility witch was Lennie, that he was obligated to take care of. Additionally, Gorge even said himself that "If I was alone I could live so easy" (Steinbeck 42). This proves that George realizes what a parasitic burden Lennie is and the grim reality of the situation. This is what have could have possibly led him to killing Lennie. He finally noticed that Lennie could not change and rather than letting him suffer without him he did him a favor by ending his life. It was the last kind thing George did to Lennie. Furthermore, Lennies hallucination exclaimed that whenever there "was any ketchup, why he'd give it all to you" (Steinbeck 12). This is a perfect representation of how much George truly gives to the parasitic person he calls a friend. Lennie continuously gives his all just to get nothing- or worse than nothing- in return. Friendship is a give and take relationship that should be mutually shared between friends but in this instance we can clearly see that Lennie over stepped the boundary and takes more than what he gives. All and all, You can clearly see who is sacrificing more to maintain this toxic one sided friendship.

Write five descriptive phrases from the second paragraph that are especially effective at helping the reader see, taste, or feel the scene in the German Market.

But boredom made me sin. Once, at the
German Market, I stood before a rack of pies, my
sweet tooth gleaming and the juice of guilt wetting
my underarms. I gazed at the nine kinds of pie,
pecan and apple being my favorites, although
cherry looked good, and my dear, fat-faced
chocolate was always a good bet. I nearly wept
trying to decide which to steal and, forgetting the
flowery dust priests give off, the shadow of angels
and the proximity of God howling in the plumbing
underneath the house, sneaked a pie behind my
coffee-lid Frisbee and walked to the door, grinning
to the bald grocer whose forehead shone with a
window of light
