Which two sentences in this excerpt from Sir Walter Scott's /vanhoe indicate that the novel is a work of historical fiction?
Thy life, minion?" answered the sibyl;"what would taking thy life pleasure them?--Trust me, thy life is in no peril. Such usage shalt thou have as
was once thought good enough for a noble Saxon maiden. And shall a Jewess, like thee, repine because she hath no better? My father and his
seven sons defended their inheritance from story to story, from chamber to chamber-There was not a room, not
step of the stair, that was
not slippery with their blood. They died -they died every man; and ere their bodies were cold, and ere their blood was dried, I had become the
prey and the scorn of the conqueror!*,
As another Instance of these bitter fruits of conquest, and perhaps the strongest that can be quoted, we may mention, that the Princess Matilda,
though a daughter of the King of Scotland, and afterwards both Queen of England, niece to Edgar Atheling. and mother to the Empress of
Germany, the daughter, the wife, and the mother of monarchs, was obliged, during her early residence for education in England, to assume the
vell
of a nun, as the only means of escaping the licentious pursuit of the Norman nobles. This excuse she stated before a great council of the
clergy of England, as the sole reason for
her having taken the religious habit. The assembled clergy admitted the validity of the plea, and the
notorlety of the circumstances upon which
it was founded; giving thus an indubitable and most remarkable testimony to the existence of that
disgraceful license by which that age was stained. fIt wach matter of public knowledge,
they said, that after the conquest of King Willlam, his
Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered
Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honour of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license, and hence
it was then common for matrons and maidens of noble families to assume the vell, and take shelter in convents, not as called thither by the
vocation of God, but solely to preserve their honour from the unbridled wickadness of man
*Thy language," answered Rowena, "hath in its indifferent bluntness someth. " which cannot be reconciled with the horrors it seems to express.

"

It was a matter of public knowledge, they said, that after the conquest of King William, his Norman followers, elated by so great a victory, acknowledged no law but their own wicked pleasure, and not only despoiled the conquered Saxons of their lands and their goods, but invaded the honor of their wives and of their daughters with the most unbridled license.

Read the poem. A Poison Tree by William Blake I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears Night and morning with my tears, And I sunned it with smiles And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright, And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine,— And into my garden stole When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning, glad, I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree. Question 1 Part A What can be inferred about the cause of the speaker's wrath? He feels distraught over a childhood disagreement. He is jealous over his foe's accomplishments.

Several families, including the Shuttlesworths, decided to participate. Arnetta was eleven years old then, and her father wanted her and her sister Joan to integrate a white school, too.

Read the passage.

Which line is the BEST example of the author creating tension?


Select one:

Then he remembered what followed that evening. It was decided that the young man should spend the years of his captivity under the strictest supervision in one of the lodges in the banker’s garden. It was agreed that for fifteen years he should not be free to cross the threshold of the lodge, to see human beings, to hear the human voice, or to receive letters and newspapers.

What was the object of that bet? What is the good of that man’s losing fifteen years of his life and my throwing away two million? Can it prove that the death penalty is better or worse than imprisonment for life? No, no. It was all nonsensical and meaningless. On my part it was the caprice of a pampered man, and on his part simple greed for money…

He was allowed to have a musical instrument and books, and was allowed to write letters, to drink wine, and to smoke. By the terms of the agreement, the only relations he could have with the outer world were by a little window made purposely for that object.

The agreement provided for every detail and every trifle that would make his imprisonment strictly solitary, and bound the young man to stay there exactly fifteen years, beginning from twelve o’clock of November 14, 1870, and ending at twelve o’clock of November 14, 1885.
