1. Read the following paragraph from "From Behind the Veil."
When she reached her room Siham could barely stop herself from laughing out loud. She picked up
her veil and danced with glee, then stopped in the middle of the room and began to whisper to the
veil: "You black shroud, you know how I despise you and make use of you to keep him apart from
me! I don't care about you and I feel nothing for you. I defy you. But I love you too. These poor girls
take refuge behind you in order to preserve their virginity, and their honour, and good morals. If
they were more truthful they would say that they love you because you hide faults and scandals. I
love you because you help me to enjoy my life in a way that only those who wear the veil can
appreciate. I pity those wretched unveiled women. I scorn them.
After reading this paragraph, what can the reader most likely conclude about how Siham feels about her veil?
(1 point)
(0 pts) She resents the veil because it separates her from the man to whom she is attracted.
(0 pts) She is indifferent toward the veil because it does not really help her to maintain her virtues.
(0 pts) She dislikes the veil because it represents strict rules and the oppression of women in her
culture.
(1 pt) She appreciates the veil because of its ability to hide the truth of her rebellious nature from
society.

2. Read the following paragraph from "Wanted: A Town Without a Crazy."
So to enter the town with the honor and glory befitting a loony, I had to start with my clothes. First, I
went and had an extra long, bright red topcoat made. I smeared it with mud to make it look old and
ripped holes in it left and right. Then I went to the flea market and bought piles of worthless old
money and bizarre medals. These I pinned here and there on the coat. Around my waist I bound a
thick belt and hung a frying pan to one end on a cord. The frying pan was to be my guitar. I hung
things all around my belt: a ladle, wooden spoons, a potty, an old electric clock, a women's
umbrella, a cast-iron stove lid. Clanging and rattling all over, I boarded a bus. The people on the
minibus broke into laughter, so I stood up, and using my frying pan as a guitar, sang all the songs I
knew. Laughing and clapping, they were so light-hearted it was indescribable. Some threw oranges
for me to eat, others gave me candy, and some money. Not only that, the bus driver not only failed
to ask me for fare but invited me to his home: ”Where have you been all this time? Come every day,
the food and drinks are on me.”

(0 pts) The loony impressed the people on the bus by using a frying pan for a guitar and singing songs

coursed in her veins.
