Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Doctor Pascal by Emile Zola In the heat of the glowing July afternoon, the room, with blinds carefully closed, was full of a great calm. From the three windows, through the cracks of the old wooden shutters, came only a few scattered sunbeams which, in the midst of the obscurity, made a soft brightness that bathed surrounding objects in a diffused and tender light. It was cool here in comparison with the overpowering heat that was felt outside, under the fierce rays of the sun that blazed upon the front of the house. Standing before the press which faced the windows, Dr. Pascal was looking for a paper that he had come in search of. With doors wide open, this immense press of carved oak, adorned with strong and handsome mountings of metal, dating from the last century, displayed within its capacious depths an extraordinary collection of papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing. For more than thirty years the doctor had thrown into it every page he wrote, from brief notes to the complete texts of his great works on heredity. Thus it was that his searches here were not always easy. He rummaged patiently among the papers, and when he at last found the one he was looking for, he smiled. For an instant longer he remained near the bookcase, reading the note by a golden sunbeam that came to him from the middle window. He himself, in this dawnlike light, appeared, with his snow-white hair and beard, strong and vigorous; although he was near sixty, his color was so fresh, his features were so finely cut, his eyes were still so clear, and he had so youthful an air that one might have taken him, in his close-fitting, maroon velvet jacket, for a young man with powdered hair. (few questions below based on this)
2nd one is correct
^^^
The use of the phrase "great works on heredity" serves which of these purposes in the passage? It deepens the physical description of the room. It foreshadows a problem Dr. Pascal will face. It provides a clear indication about Dr. Pascal's career.<--- It establishes a somber but serious tone for the story.
Which of these words from the passage helps to clarify the description of the setting provided in the first paragraph? Overflowing Dawnlike<---- Vigorous Youthful
Which word, if substituted for "capacious" in the second paragraph, would best retain the meaning of the passage? Murky Roomy<---- Unfathomable Comprehensible
Which of these phrases from the passage most directly reveals something about Dr. Pascal's character? "cool here in comparison" "in the midst of the obscurity" "extraordinary collection of papers " <---- "reading the note by a golden sunbeam"
"Which word, if substituted for "capacious" in the second paragraph, would best retain the meaning of the passage?" This is correct
Ill put those for now...Only a few left if you guys can help :D Its very much appreciated :D
"Which of these words from the passage helps to clarify the description of the setting provided in the first paragraph?" This is also correct.. "dawnlike" explains the setting(location) of the story.
"The use of the phrase "great works on heredity" serves which of these purposes in the passage?" This looks correct, the rest of the options don't really make any sense.
Which of these is the purpose of the first paragraph? To foreshadow the action that follows To set the mood for the scene that follows<---- To provide a physical contrast to the nature of the characters To introduce a metaphor that applies to the rest of the passage
"Which of these phrases from the passage most directly reveals something about Dr. Pascal's character?" This one also looks correct..
The passage implies that Dr. Pascal is which kind of character? A well-disguised villain A scatterbrained and angry genius A patient and scholarly man<--- A nervous and unsure person
"Which of these is the purpose of the first paragraph?" This looks correct, he explains the setting which gives the mood.
The passage implies that Dr. Pascal is which kind of character? Correct, it explains about his papers, his great works, etc.
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." What is the best summary of the events described in the speech's first two sentences? A massive battle was fought on the site of the speech, and many thousands of soldiers died. Many years ago people came together to form a nation, and now a war takes place there.<---- The founders of the nation could not agree on how to best organize it, so war began. The speaker and listeners have decided to gather on this site to honor the memory of others. "It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." What is the best summary of the line in bold? Citizens must support their government in times of war no matter what. Many thousands of soldiers have died unnecessarily in this civil war. We must support this cause in the name of those who have died for it. Without blind patriotism and love of country, freedom cannot thrive.
"It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." What is the best summary of the line in bold?

"What is the best summary of the events described in the speech's first two sentences?" Looks good, the rest don't summarize it correctly.
"It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." What is the best summary of the line in bold? Citizens must support their government in times of war no matter what. Many thousands of soldiers have died unnecessarily in this civil war. We must support this cause in the name of those who have died for it. Without blind patriotism and love of country, freedom cannot thrive. You didn't put your choice down here :P
I updated it x.x "It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced." What is the best summary of the line in bold? Citizens must support their government in times of war no matter what. Many thousands of soldiers have died unnecessarily in this civil war.

Yep, that's correct.
LOL I see xD
Just a few more if you don't mind?
Sure
Marc Antony's Speech from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it. Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest— For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men— Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts, And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.
"If it were so, it was a grievous fault," What is the meaning of the word grievous in line 7 of this speech? Difficult Political Severe<---- Sorrowful
"Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:" What is the meaning of the word sterner in line 20 of this speech? Angrier Easier Gloomier Sturdier<----
Which statement best summarizes Antony's main claim? Antony is the best man to assume leadership. Romans deserved a better leader than Caesar. Caesar was a dedicated and unambitious Roman.<--- Brutus was right to murder Caesar.
