Alonzo is presenting this speech to his class. What is the purpose of the speech?

My Ántonia, one of Willa Cather's most famous and beloved novels, published in 1918, is a tale of immigrant families in Nebraska. The heroine, Ántonia, a free-spirited and courageous young woman, is the eldest daughter of one of the families. Her many challenges and experiences form the heart of the book. Aside from being a compelling story of the American frontier, My Ántonia is also a social document of the times. It describes the hard life of immigrants who settled on the prairie. In particular, Cather's book focuses on how hard frontier life was for women and how tough they had to be to survive. The story clearly shows the author's support of women's rights. At the same time, it continues to entertain readers as a romantic and exciting tale of the American prairie. It’s a story that’s hard to put down.
1. to motivate his classmates to learn more about women’s rights
2.to inform his classmates about a novel written by Willa Cather
3.to entertain his classmates with a story about life on the frontier
4. to persuade his classmates to read more novels about frontier life

Answer: 2

Explanation:

Alonzo’s speech highlights important facets of the book, but does not provide any of his own opinions on it until the very end when he comments that it is “hard to put down.” Therefore, the best choice is 2 because Alonzo is speaking informatively, rather than persuasively or for the sake of entertainment.

Read the excerpt from the story Penguin Parade: An Antarctic Adventure:

We boarded a flight from Orlando, Florida to Buenos Aires in Argentina. We would board a ship that would take us from Argentina to the remote Snow Hill Island in the Weddell Sea. Mom slept for the whole plane ride, but I stayed awake and researched penguins that live in Antarctica on my phone. I didn't realize how many penguins didn't live in cold areas like Antarctica. Apparently, I wasn't the only one on the plane interested in reading about animals. The boy sitting across the aisle from me was reading a book about sharks, which was pretty neat.

"Hey," I whispered to the boy so I wouldn't wake up my mom. "Where are you heading?" He said nothing at first and gave me a funny look.

"Argentina, obviously," he said sarcastically as he turned the page in his book. I felt a bit awkward and glanced back at my phone. He didn't seem very friendly. After a while, he closed his book and turned towards me.

"Hey, I'm Steven. What's your name?" he asked. He smiled at me. "Sorry. I can be weird around new people."

"I'm Sally. We're heading to Argentina, too, but only so that we can get on a ship to Antarctica, we are going to see the emperor penguins and their chicks."

What does the reader learn about the trip to Antarctica, since it is told from Sally's point of view? (2 points)
Sally has always wanted to travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Sally and her mom are going to see emperor penguins and their chicks.
Sally and her mom are going to see sharks, which is neat.

Read this stanza from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe.

But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking “Nevermore.”

How does the symbol of the raven in these lines reflect the meaning of the poem?

It suggests the sorrow and finality of death.

It shows that death conquers love.

It hints that true love can never really die.

It provides hope that there is an afterlife.
