Read the excerpt from Flannery O'Connor's The Life You Save May Be Your Own
Mr. Shiftlet was so shocked that for about a hundred feet he drove along slowly with the door stiff open. A
cloud, the exact color of the boy's hat and shaped like a turnip, had descended over the sun, and another,
worse looking, crouched behind the car. Mr. Shiftlet felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf
him. He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast. “Oh Lord!" he prayed. "Break forth and wash the
slime from this earth!
The turnip continued slowly to descend. After a few minutes there was a guffawing peal of thunder from
behind and fantastic raindrops, like tin-can tops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiftlet's car.
Which is a metaphor?
O The turnip continued slowly to descend
raindrops, like tin-can drops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiflet's car
Mr. Shiftlet felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf him
O He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast

Answer:

raindrops, like tin-can drops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiflet's car

Explanation:

A metaphor is used in comparing two things that are not the same but have some things in common. The comparison is made using words such as 'like' and 'as'. When the drops from heaven were compared to tin-can drops, using the word, 'like', a metaphor was employed. So this comparison between the tin can and raindrops might have been as a result of the sound made by the droplets of rain.

Reread this passage from a speech by Booker T. Washington, in which he explains why he believes he was selected to serve on the Atlanta Exposition's board of jurors.

Suppose that some months before . . . there had been a general demand from the press and public . . . that a Negro be given a place on the opening program, and that a Negro be placed upon the board of jurors. Would any such recognition of the race have taken place? I do not think so. The Atlanta officials went as far as they did because they felt it to be a pleasure, as well as a duty, to reward what they considered merit in the Negro race. Say what we will, there is something in human nature which we cannot blot out, which makes one man, in the end, recognize and reward merit in another, regardless of color or race.

According to Washington, what type of evidence does his invitation to serve on the board represent? What does his inclusion tell him about race relations in the United States at the time?

Juno Reaches Jupiter


adapted from NASA


After an almost five-year journey to the solar system’s largest planet, NASA's Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit during a 35-minute engine burn. Confirmation that the burn had completed was received on Earth at 8:53 p.m. PDT, Monday, July 4, 2016. Juno's principal goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. With its suite of nine science instruments, Juno will investigate the existence of a solid planetary core. It will also map Jupiter's intense magnetic field, measure the amount of water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere, and observe the planet's auroras. The mission also will let us take a giant step forward in our understanding of how giant planets form and the role these titans played in putting together the rest of the solar system. As our primary example of a giant planet, Jupiter also can provide critical knowledge for understanding the planetary systems being discovered around other stars.

Question 10 of 21

Studies support the claim that volunteering on a regular basis actually benefits one’s general physical health. Depending on the needs of an organization, many volunteer opportunities can involve physical movement. Volunteers at a local soup kitchen may, for example, find themselves unloading truckloads of donated supplies. Other research related to volunteering and staying healthy found that volunteers often experienced decreased chronic pain and fewer symptoms of heart disease. Of course, not all volunteer positions involve physical exertion. Tasks involving minimal movement, such as answering phones, filing papers, and/or addressing envelopes, should be combined with some type of physical activity. Using the stairs instead of an elevator or walking to work instead of driving are examples of easy ways to integrate exercise into a daily routine.

Read the excerpt from the General Prolgue to the Canterbury Tales.

When the sweet showers of April have pierced
The drought of March, and pierced it to the root,
And every vein is bathed in that moisture
Whose quickening force will engender the flower;
And when the west wind too with its sweet breath
Has given life in every wood and field
To tender shoots, and when the stripling sun
Has run his half-course in Aries, the Ram

Read the same excerpt from the Middle English version of the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales.

Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne

Which statement best describes the relationship between the Middle English text and the modern English text?

Because the English language has changed so much over time, the Middle English version of the text is unrecognizable to the modern reader. The two texts share no common words, and none of the words are remotely similar.
The English language has changed very little since the time of Chaucer. Consequently, the Middle English version of the text mostly contains words that are used in the modern version as well.
The Middle English version contains many words that are no longer in use. It also contains words that are similar, but they are not similar enough to allow modern readers to understand their meanings
