Captivity can save endangered animals from extinction. And yet, animals’ quality of life in zoos or as pets is often worse than in the wild.

As you read, consider: Does saving wild animals from extinction justify keeping them in zoos or as pets? Write an essay arguing your position, using evidence from the texts for support.

Answer:

A zoo is an establishment that displays animals typically for recreation and education. Extensive collections of animals that were maintained in antiquity cannot be considered as zoos. Such ancient collections were not held for exhibition in public parks or maintained for purposes of education and recreation. For example, the Romans kept collections of wild animals for ancient games. After the conquest of Dacia, Emperor Trajan held 123 days of games in celebration, during which thousands of animals were slaughtered, including elephants, lions, rhinoceroses, tigers, giraffes, crocodiles, bulls, hippopotami and stags. Major cities often had arenas and animals in stock for the games. In the fifth century, France had 26 such arenas, and the tradition held on until at least the 8th century. Large animal collections were also kept as a sign of power. The first modern zoos were established in the 18th century in Madrid, Vienna, and Paris. The cities of Berlin and London later founded zoos in the nineteenth century. The first American zoos were established in the 1970s in the cities of Cincinnati and Philadelphia. Today there are hundreds of zoos in the US that are visited by millions of people every year.

Read the excerpt from Loom and Spindle.

My mother's boarders were many of them young men, and usually farmers' sons. They were almost invariably of good character and behavior, and it was a continual pleasure for me and my brothers to associate with them. I was treated like a little sister, never hearing a word or seeing a look to remind me that I was not of the same sex as my brothers. I played checkers with them, sometimes "beating," and took part in their conversation, and it never came into my mind that they were not the same as so many "girls."

Which statement best reflects the narrator’s perspective in the excerpt?

Select the correct answer.
Read the excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. What can you conclude from this passage?

He felt that it was tall and stately when it came beside him, and that its mysterious presence filled him with a solemn dread. He knew no more, for the Spirit neither spoke nor moved.

"I am in the presence of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come?" said Scrooge.

The Spirit answered not, but pointed onward with its hand.

"You are about to show me shadows of the things that have not happened, but will happen in the time before us," Scrooge pursued.

"Is that so, Spirit?"

The upper portion of the garment was contracted for an instant in its folds, as if the Spirit had inclined its head. That was the only answer he received.

Although well used to ghostly company by this time, Scrooge feared the silent shape so much that his legs trembled beneath him, and he found that he could hardly stand when he prepared to follow it. The Spirit paused a moment, as observing his condition, and giving him time to recover.

But Scrooge was all the worse for this. It thrilled him with a vague uncertain horror, to know that behind the dusky shroud, there were ghostly eyes intently fixed upon him, while he, though he stretched his own to the utmost, could see nothing but a spectral hand and one great heap of black.

A.
Scrooge has learned from the visits of the other ghosts that he is powerless, so he must submit to this one.
B.
This ghost is able to communicate more effectively than the previous ghosts, even without talking.
C.
This ghost is willing to let Scrooge die without undergoing redemption by changing his way of living.
D.
Scrooge is more profoundly disturbed by this ghost than by the others because it is so mysterious.
E.
Scrooge is able to interpret what the ghost is thinking despite its mysterious, silent way of being.

Read the following passage from Heywood Broun’s The Fifty-First Dragon to answer questions 6-10.
OF all the pupils at the knight school Gawaine le Cur-Hardy was among the least promising. He was tall and sturdy, but his instructors soon discovered that he lacked spirit. He would hide in the woods when the jousting class was called, although his companions and members of the faculty sought to appeal to his better nature by shouting to him to come out and break his neck like a man. Even when they told him that the lances were padded, the horses no more than ponies and the field unusually soft for late autumn, Gawaine refused to grow enthusiastic. The Headmaster and the Assistant Professor of Pleasaunce were discussing the case one spring afternoon and the Assistant Professor could see no remedy but expulsion.

“No,” said the Headmaster, as he looked out at the purple hills which ringed the school, “I think I’ll train him to slay dragons.”

“He might be killed,” objected the Assistant Professor.

“So he might,” replied the Headmaster brightly, but he added, more soberly, “we must consider the greater good. We are responsible for the formation of this lad’s character.”

“Are the dragons particularly bad this year?” interrupted the Assistant Professor. This was characteristic. He always seemed restive when the head of the school began to talk ethics and the ideals of the institution.

“I’ve never known them worse,” replied the Headmaster. “Up in the hills to the south last week they killed a number of peasants, two cows and a prize pig. And if this dry spell holds there’s no telling when they may start a forest fire simply by breathing around indiscriminately.”

“Would any refund on the tuition fee be necessary in case of an accident to young Cur-Hardy?”

“No,” the principal answered, judicially, “that’s all covered in the contract. But as a matter of fact he won’t be killed. Before I send him up in the hills I’m going to give him a magic word.”

“That’s a good idea,” said the Professor. “Sometimes they work wonders.”

6. What is this passage about?
The problems that may arise from fighting dragons
How the educators would change Gawaine’s course of study
The way the Professor and the Headmaster taught about dragons
Giving Gawaine a magic word to help him fight dragons

help how do I explain ‍♀️ the story is basically about a old couple and a storyteller gives them a mill, the mill will give u whatever u want it to give u. For example, If u say the command, and say what u want, it will give it to u. But, if u want it to stop, u have to command it to stop. So one day the old couple went out and never locks their door, and their neighbors next door are ungrateful because the old couple have nice clothes and they eat good food while the neighbors next door, don’t. The neighbors heard the old man say the command to the mill and the neighbors saw the mill give the old man what he wanted, so the neighbors decided to steal the mill. The neighbors then leave to somewhere nobody knows them and the neighbors wanted salt so they said the command, but they don’t know the command to stop it. Salt then spills everywhere and they decide to throw it in the sea. yeah that’s basically the whole story.
