Read the following excerpt from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question. For there lay The Combs--the set of combs, side and back, that Della had worshipped long in a Broadway window. Beautiful combs, pure tortoise shell, with jewelled rims--just the shade to wear in the beautiful vanished hair. They were expensive combs, she knew, and her heart had simply craved and yearned over them without the least hope of possession. And now, they were hers, but the tresses that should have adorned the coveted adornments were gone. But she hugged them to her bosom, and at length she was able to look up with dim eyes and a smile and say: "My hair grows so fast, Jim! And them Della leaped up like a little singed cat and cried, "Oh, oh!" Jim had not yet seen his beautiful present. She held it out to him eagerly upon her open palm. The dull precious metal seemed to flash with a reflection of her bright and ardent spirit."Isn't it a dandy, Jim? I hunted all over town to find it. You'll have to look at the time a hundred times a day now. Give me your watch. I want to see how it looks on it." Instead of obeying, Jim tumbled down on the couch and put his hands under the back of his head and smiled."Della," said he, "let's put our Christmas presents away and keep 'em a while. They're too nice to use just at present. I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs. And now suppose you put the chops on." The magi, as you know, were wise men--wonderfully wise men--who brought gifts to the Babe in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house. But in a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest. O all who give and receive gifts, such as they are wisest. Everywhere they are wisest. They are the magi. Based on the context clues, the underlined word, ardent, most likely means? gloomy calm passionate innocent

For we know that the study of the stars, though undertaken for selfish reasons and pursued in the spirit of charlatanry, led at length to physical science, while the study of dreams has proved as unprofitable as the dreaming of them.

The subject of the significance of dreams, so long ignored, has suddenly become a matter of energetic study and of fiery controversy the world over.

To use Professor Bergson's striking metaphor, our memories are packed away under pressure like steam in a boiler and the dream is their escape valve.

Before the dawn of history mankind was engaged in the study of dreaming.

But the psychologist rarely paid attention to dreams except incidentally in his study of imagery, association and the speed of thought.

What is the effect of the word choice in the phrase “when you are set down at random in that street in the middle of an inky black night” in Paragraph 2 of the passage?

Read the quotation from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." And now he became conscious of a new disturbance. Striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. He wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. Its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. He awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. The intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. With their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. They hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. What he heard was the ticking of his watch. Which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? It suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. It suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. It suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. It suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.

Which phrase in this excerpt from act 1 of Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon suggests that Robert wishes to travel for adventure?
ANDREW: Oh, of course. I know you're going to learn navigation, and all about a ship, so's you can be an officer. That's natural, too. There's fair
pay in it, i expect, when you consider that you've always got a home and grub thrown in; and if you're set on traveling you can go anywhere
you're a mind to without paying fare.
ROBERT: (with a smile that is half sad) It's more than that, Andy.
ANDREW: Sure it is. There's always a chance of a good thing coming your way in some of those foreign ports or other. I've heard there are great
opportunities for a young fellow with his eyes open in some of those new countries that are just being opened up. Jovially I'll bet that's what
you've been turning over in your mind under all your quietness! (He slaps his brother on the back with a laugh) Well, if you get to be a millionaire
all of a sudden, call 'round once in a while and I'll pass the plate to you. We could use a lot of money right here on the farm without hurting it
any.
ROBERT: (forced to laugh) I've never considered that practical side of it for a minute, Andy.
ANDREW: Well, you ought to.
ROBERT: No, I oughtn't. (Pointing to the horizon-dreamily Supposing I was to tell you that it's just Beauty that's calling me, the beauty of the far
off and unknown, the mystery and spell of the East which lures me in the books I've read, the need of the freedom of great wide spaces, the joy

reason for my going?
A to learn navigation
B are great opportunities
C that practical side
D far off and unknown ​
