we want an adjective phrase this time, so which one is describing a noun?

Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of the story.

Read this excerpt from "After Twenty Years" by O. Henry.

“Bless my heart!” exclaimed the new arrival, grasping both the other’s hands with his own. “It’s Bob, sure as fate. I was certain I’d find you here if you were still in existence. Well, well, well!—twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant’s gone, Bob; I wish it had lasted, so we could have had another dinner there. How has the West treated you, old man?”

Which statement best describes how the pacing of the passage affects the story?


A. It creates tension by slowing down the narrative and having the new character make some key mistakes that reveal that he is not Jimmy Wells.

B. It creates a sense of disappointment by slowing down the text to introduce a new character who will not be able to resolve the conflict Bob faces.

C. It creates humor by moving very quickly through the new character's greeting without having him identify himself to Bob.

D. It creates a sense of surprise by having the newly arrived character speak with short phrases and exclamations.

Answer 61

any ideas? as a hint pay attention to the speech patterns

Answer 62

B

Answer 63

hm not quite, notice how the new arrival is actually talking pretty quickly in short bursts which leads us away from choices A and B

so between C and D which do you think is more prevalent in the passage? surprise or humor?

Answer 64

SURPRISE

Answer 65

good so I believe D is the best choice here

Answer 75

let's move on

Answer 76

Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this poem.

In "Daystar" by Rita Dove, how does the image of the woman lugging a chair behind the garage "to sit out the children's naps" affect the poem?


A. It highlights the great loneliness the woman feels.

B. It helps convey the woman's utter exhaustion.

C. It indicates that the woman has no place to sit inside.

D. It suggests the woman's desire to protect her children.

Answer 77

She wanted a little room for thinking:
but she saw diapers steaming
on the line,

A doll slumped behind the door.
So she lugged a chair behind
the garage to sit out the
children's naps


Sometimes there were things to watch--
the pinched armor of a vanished cricket,
a floating maple leaf.


Other days she stared until she
was assured when she closed
her eyes she'd only see her own
vivid blood.


She had an hour, at best,
before Liza appeared pouting from
the top of the stairs.


And just what was mother doing
out back with the field mice?
Why, building a palace.


Later that night when Thomas
rolled over and lurched into her,


She would open her eyes
and think of the place that was hers
for an hour--where she was nothing,
pure nothing, in the middle of the day

Answer 78

well thankfully this one is pretty short. this is the section you should pay attention to

A doll slumped behind the door.
So she lugged a chair behind
the garage to sit out the
children's naps

Answer 79

which one is this ?

Answer 80

the daystar poem. which choice do you think is the best?

as a hint: lugged means to carry something with great effort

Answer 81

D

Answer 82

note - there's nothing in the poem about the mother wanting to protect her children

hint: if she is "lugging" a couch around, she is expending a lot of effort so she must be very tired

which choice best captures this idea?

Answer 83

OH I'M SORRY A

Answer 84

hm, not loneliness, "exhaustion" is a better word for being tired

so B is the best choice

Answer 85

How do the hands of the speaker's father serve as a symbol in "My Father's Song" by Simon Ortiz?


A. They represent the deep and lasting connection that the speaker feels to his father.

B. They represent the strength that the speaker must develop if he is to survive and grow.

C. They represent the loving protection that the older generation should offer to the younger generation.

D. They represent the constant struggle that takes a toll on people as they grow old.

Answer 86

here is the full text

Wanting to say things,
I miss my father tonight.
His voice, the slight catch,
the depth from his thin chest,
the tremble of emotion
in something he has just said
to his son, his song:

We planted corn one Spring at Acu—
we planted several times
But this one particular time
I remember the soft damp sand
in my hand.

My father had stopped at one point
to show me an overturned furrow;
the plowshare had unearthed
the burrow nest of a mouse
in the soft moist sand.

Very gently, he scooped tiny pink animals
into the palm of his hand
and told me to touch them.
We took them to the edge
of the field and put them in the shade
of a sand moist clod.

I remember the very softness
of cool and warm sand and tiny alive mice
and my father saying things...

Answer 87

here is the part you should pay attention to:

Very gently, he scooped tiny pink animals
into the palm of his hand
and told me to touch them.
We took them to the edge
of the field and put them in the shade
of a sand moist clod.

any ideas based on this?

Answer 88

C.

Answer 89

hm. maybe that was a little misleading. perhaps we should think about them in the context of the whole poem which is more about the interactions/fond memories the son has w/ his father which leads us more towards A

Answer 90

THE ANSWER IS A

Answer 91

let's make a new question, it's too much questions

Answer 92

yeah, now that I think of it there's nothing really specific about raising a new generation, just being kind/caring for people/animals in general

Answer 93

sure, feel free to close this
