I tried again and again. I kicked twice as madly as they did, and failed. Half a dozen would be around. We would all leap on our boards in front of a good breaker. Away our feet would churn like the sternwheels of river steamboats, and away the little rascals would scoot while I remained in disgrace behind.” Summarize the passage.

Explanation:

Cody liked the freedom that came with his first summer job. He worked at Mitchell's Farm, where people could come and pick their own corn, berries, and tomatoes out in the fields. Then they'd bring their produce to the checkout stand, where Cody would weigh it and charge the appropriate price. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell were usually busy somewhere else, so Cody was trusted to manage the stand by himself.
For the most part, Cody enforced the Mitchells' rules. When someone asked for a discount or a sample, Cody said no. But he did sometimes bend the rules for friends, much to their delight.
"Go ahead, taste a few berries before I weigh 'em," he'd say when it was someone he knew. It was against the rules to eat something before you bought it, but everyone wanted to.
One day, a man came to the stand with a bushel of corn he had picked. Cody weighed the ears of corn and told the man how much it cost. The man looked confused.
"But I was here yesterday, and you told someone that for every five ears you buy, you get one free," he said.
Cody remembered. He had indeed offered that deal to the Thomases, who happened to be his neighbors. Now he regretted it. He saw Mrs. Mitchell baling hay close by. How was Cody going to explain that he had given a deal to those he knew while he made everyone else pay full price?
The man saw that Cody was looking at Mrs. Mitchell. "Is that the owner? May I speak to her?" he asked.
Cody thought about offering the man the same discount, but there were people in line behind him, and they were carrying corn, too. Cory hung his head and walked over to see Mrs. Mitchell.

I looked down at Mitchell and stopped, knowing that despite our understanding, he was itching for a fight with me. Now, I don’t know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing I did. Maybe I was feeling guilty that because I was my daddy’s son, I could ride Ghost Wind. Maybe it was that, but it wasn’t out of fear I said what I said. I no longer was afraid of Mitchell. “You want to ride him?” I asked.


Mitchell took a step backward. It was obvious he hadn’t expected me to say that. “You know I can’t ride him,” he said. “Your white daddy’d kill me.”


“You want to ride him?” I asked again.


Mitchell looked at the stallion, then at me. “So, what if I do?”

In
this excerpt from Anita Desai's short story "Games at Twilight," which three sentences suggest that the children had completely forgotten
about Ravi?
With a whimper he burst through the crack, fell on his
knees, got up, and stumbled on stiff, benumbed legs across the shadowy yard, crying
heartily by the time he reached the veranda so that when he flung himself at the white pillar and bawled, "Den! Den! Den!" his voice broke with
rage and pity at the disgrace of it all, and he felt himself flooded with tears and misery.
Out on the lawn, the children stopped chanting. They all turned to stare at him in amazement. Their faces were pale and triangular in the dusk.
The trees and bushes around them stood inky and sepulchral, spilling long shadows across them. They stared, wondering at his reappearance,
his passion, his wild animal howling. Their mother rose from her basket chair and came toward him, worried, annoyed, saying, "Stop it, stop it,
Ravi. Don't be baby. Have you hurt yourself?* Seeing him attended to, the children went back to clasping their hands and chanting, "The grass tc
iS green, the rose is red.
But
Ravi would not let them. He tore himself out of his mother's grasp and pounded across the lawn into their midst, charging at them with his
head lowered so that they scattered in surprise. "1 won, I won, I won," he bawled, shaking his head so that the big tears flew. "Raghu didn't find
me. I won, I won-
It took them a minute to grasp what he was saying, even who he was. They had quite forgotten him. Raghu had found all the others long ago.
There had been a fight about who was to be It next. It had been so fierce that their mother had emerged from her bath and made them change
to another game. Then they had played another and another. Broken mulberries from the tree and eaten them. Helped the driver wash the car
when their father returned from work. Helped the gardener water the beds till he roared at them and swore he would complain to their parents.
The parents had come out, taken up their positions on the cane chairs. They had begun to play again, sing and chant. All this time no one had
remembered Ravi. Having disappeared from the scene, he had disappeared from their minds. Clean.

You might think that after 200 years, the scientists who find, name, and describe
Earth's species would be close to finished. But taxonomists, as organized as they may
be, have no idea how many species Earth has. Nor can they even provide an
educated guess. Although reporting over 16,000 new species every year,
taxonomists still cannot predict how many more are undiscovered.
In total, taxonomists have categorized and listed 1.2 million species on Earth. At this
point, you would think scientists should be able to use the information they have
gathered to make good predictions about how many species an ecosystem can
support. This would help them make better predictions about how many species are
left to identify. So far, however, the guesses seem to vary so greatly that it seems
there is no good theory for making a prediction.
One of the main problems is that most of the places that seem to have a lot of
diverse species are in places that are hard to get to. One such place is the ocean,
where scientists believe some 80 percent of Earth's creatures are hiding at depths
too deep for us to study. In addition, many of the planet's most diverse areas are in
remote places with few taxonomists.
Despite all the unknowns, scientists have agreed that there are between five and 15
million species left to discover on Earth. This is a huge range, but whether it's five or
15, taxonomists clearly still have a lot of work to do. And who knows, there may yet
be a dragon or a Loch Ness monster left to discover.
Which word from the second paragraph explains what taxonomists do? (1 point)
1) Categorized
2) Ecosystem
3) Support
4) Prediction

I turned back to the sun. It was going. The sun was going, and the world was wrong. The grasses were wrong; they were platinum. Their every detail of stem, head, and blade shone lightless and artificially distinct as an art photographer’s platinum print. This color has never been seen on Earth. The hues were metallic; their finish was matte. The hillside was a 19th-century tinted photograph from which the tints had faded. All the people you see in the photograph, distinct and detailed as their faces look, are now dead. The sky was navy blue. My hands were silver. All the distant hills’ grasses were finespun metal which the wind laid down. I was watching a faded color print of a movie filmed in the Middle Ages; I was standing in it, by some mistake. I was standing in a movie of hillside grasses filmed in the Middle Ages. I missed my own century, the people I knew, and the real light of day.

Read this excerpt from “L’Allegro” by John Milton. Which two lines are written in iambic pentameter?
Hence loathed Melancholy, Of Cerberus, and blackest Midnight born,
In Stygian cave forlorn,
'Mongst horrid shapes, and shrieks, and sights unholy;
Find out some uncouth cell,
Where brooding Darkness spreads his jealous wings,
And the night-raven sings;
