Item 4
Read this excerpt from Chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies, in which Simon first encounters the severed pig's head.

The pile of guts was a black blob of flies that buzzed like a saw. After a while these flies found Simon. Gorged, they alighted by his runnels of sweat and drank. They tickled under his nostrils and played leapfrog on his thighs. They were black and iridescent green and without number; and in front of Simon, the Lord of the Flies hung on his stick and grinned. At last Simon gave up and looked back; saw the white teeth and dim eyes, the blood—and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable recognition. In Simon’s right temple, a pulse began to beat on the brain.

What does author William Golding allude to by naming the pig's head the Lord of the Flies?

A. He references a Greek myth in which two men fly using wings made of wax and feathers.

B. He references the Bible's Old Testament, which uses that same name for the devil.

C. He references a 1958 film called The Fly in which a man is physically merged with a fly.

D. He references a Greek myth in which a being named Myiagros chases away flies.

Answers

Answer 1

He references the Bible's Old Testament, which uses that same name for the devil. Thus, option B is the correct option.

What does author William Golding allude to by naming the pig's head the Lord of the Flies?

Simon imagines that the pig's head on the stick is speaking to him as he is having an epileptic seizure. Here, Golding makes it obvious that the pig's head is a representation of the beast, which stands for evil and is also known as the Lord of the Flies, another name for the Devil. During his hallucination, Simon understands that the beast is not something that can be killed because it exists inside humans.

Simon observes the horde of flies encircling the head of the pig that the hunters have mounted on a pole. Simon loves to hide in the clearing where the pig's head is. The Lord of the Flies, an allusion to Beelzebub, is used for the first time to describe the pig's head in this passage.

Reread Lilian Moore's "Until I Saw the Sea" and Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud."
Until I saw the sea
I did not know
that wind
could wrinkle water so.


I never knew
that sun
could splinter a whole sea of blue.


Nor
did I know before
a sea breathes in and out
upon a shore.






I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,—
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.


Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I, at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.


The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company;
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.



For oft, when on my couch I lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

D
It decreased the number of people who moved from North America to
South America.

Answers

Answer: С . It cut down the travel time of cargo ships moving between the Atlantic and  Pacific Oceans.

Explanation:

Before the Panama canal was built, ships in the western hemisphere trying to get to the Pacific ocean either had to go around Argentina or South Africa, the latter of which would see them having to go through the Indian Ocean first.

The Panama canal changed all that by cutting a path across Panama in central America to the Pacific. This allowed for ships to be able to get to the Pacific faster and vice versa thereby cutting down the travel time for cargo ships moving between both oceans.

According to Holling, why is being a Presbyterian now a disaster? *

Answers

Answer:

Holling Hoodhood has to spend his Wednesday afternoons with Mrs. Baker, because he is not allowed to go to where the other students in his school have to go. Holling attends a school that is a mixture of Catholic and Jewish students. Holling is neither. On Wednesdays, the Jewish students go to Hebrew school and the Catholic students go to catechism.

"So being a Presbyterian was now a disaster. Especially on Wednesday afternoons when, at 1:45 sharp, half of my class went to Hebrew School at Temple Beth-El, and, at 1:55, the other half went to Catechism at Saint Adelbert's. This left behind just the Presbyterians. Of which there had been three, and now there was one.

Me."

Because Holling can't go with the Catholic students or the Jewish students, he has to spend the rest of the afternoon with Mrs. Baker. Holling and Mrs. Baker are not happy with the arrangement. For the first month or so Mrs. Baker makes Holling do menial tasks such as cleaning chalk erasers. Eventually she decides to teach Holling Shakespeare, and that begins a strong and long lasting bond between the two of them.
