from Life on the Mississippi
I still keep in mind a certain wonderful sunset which I witnessed when steamboating was new to me. A broad expanse of the river was
turned to blood; in the middle distance the red hue brightened into gold, through which a solitary log came floating black and conspicuous; in one
place a long, slanting mark lay sparkling upon the water, in another the surface was broken by boiling, tumbling rings, that were as many-tinted as
an opal, where the ruddy flush was faintest, was a smooth spot that was covered with graceful circles and radiating lines, ever so delicately traced;
the shore on our left was densely wooded, and the sombre shadow that fell from this forest was broken in one place by a long ruffled trail that
shone like silver, and high above the forest wall a clean-stemmed dead tree waved a single leafy bough that glowed like a flame in the unobstructed
splendor that was flowing from the sun.....
The world was new to me, and I had never seen anything like this at home. But as I have said, a day came when I began to cease from noting
the glories and the charms which the moon and the sun and the twilight wrought upon the river's face, another day came when I ceased altogether
to note them. Then, if that sunset scene had been repeated, I should have looked upon it without rapture, and should have commented upon it,
inwardly, after this fashion. This sun means that we are going to have wind to-morrow, that floating log means that the river is rising small thanks
to it that starting mark on the water refers to a bluff reef which is going to kill somebody's steamboat che of these nights, if it keeps on stretching
out like that, those tumbling "bolls" show a dissolving bar and a changing channel there, the lines and circles in the slick water over yonder are a
warring that the troublesome place is shoaling up dangerously,
Which statement best conveys how the author's viewpoint changes in the passage?
1. His fear of nature intensifies as he comes to accept that a river is more dangerous than it is beautiful.
O2. His ability to describe the river with precise language improves as he gains more skills in steamboating
3. His way of seeing the river shifts from mysterious wonder to objective analysis as he becomes a steamboating expert
4. His enjoyment of the river comes at first as the result of acute observations and later as the result of proven instincts.

Which
sentence should be deleted from this body
paragraph?


wexler uses juxtaposition to create support for a new
way of teaching civics. She criticizes "action civics,"
which she thinks can "entrench (students) in their
preexisting perspective." Instead, Wexler suggests
journalism as a way to teach students to see different
perspectives. Wexler proposes that civics teachers
encourage their students to attend city council and
school board meetings to report on local political
matters. This allows students to "[perform) a public
service-and gain an understanding of how
government works." She does note that our deeply
flawed approach to writing instruction has left many
teenagers unable to express themselves well in
writing." By juxtaposing flawed teaching methods and
new ways of teaching civics, Wexler effectively
supports the claim that reform in civics education is
needed.

(A)Wexler uses juxtaposition to create support for a

Define Courtly Love.

America’s space program does not get the attention it once did. It certainly doesn’t generate the same excitement. From the 1950s through the 1970s, astronauts were national heroes. Children dreamed of traveling through space. Adults looked to the moon with the sense of national pride. Those days could—and should—return again.
If average Americans search their brain, it is not hard to find arguments against space travel. It costs money. It’s dangerous. We have enough problems on our own planet. If the same Americans search their hearts, however, the results are different. Deep within us, we all have similar desires. Space exploration fulfills all these desires.
Let’s begin with curiosity. We all have it. From the time we are small children we long to know what is in the next room, down the street, or in the next town. We are nomads, wanting to explore. We are detectives, trying to solve a mystery. We are students of life, seeking answers. The space program gives us a chance to be all those things and more. Even if we don’t travel ourselves, the excitement of new discoveries would again feed our thirst for something new.
Another benefit of returning to space is the inspiration it provides. In the early days of space travel, America had a goal. We wanted to reach space safely and quickly. The country responded spectacularly. Teamwork and creativity reached all-time highs. Students delved deeper into science and math hoping to contribute. Heroes stepped up to bravely accept challenges. We were attempting the impossible and determined to succeed. Think of the amazing things Americans would accomplish if that inspiration returned.
Perhaps the largest thing lost with a shrinking space program is perspective. Exploring space reminds us how small and fragile our planet truly is. It encourages collaboration with other countries which helps cultural differences disappear. It can reveal the effects of abusing natural resources. Looking at our Earth from a great distance gives us a unique view of our world and the effect we have upon it.
Plans for America’s space program should clearly be revisited. Exploration of our solar system should continue not for science or power or money, but for the benefit of mankind. It gives us an outlet for our curiosity. It provides inspiration for our souls. It offers a perspective to help understand our place in the universe. The benefits are as vast as space itself.
