I know one place in the northern part of the state where I camped a while in the summer, and I went to the school and talked to the
teachers. They are using school books which have been passed down from one child to another. They have practically no books outside of
the textbooks. The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you
could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the
country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to help these schools in the education of the children, and, even more,
to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds.
We are doing a tremendous amount through the home economics colleges to help people to learn how to live in their homes, to better their
standards of material living. We have got to think in exactly the same way about helping them to live mentally and to attain better
standards, and we can do it only through the children. We can do ground work with the children; we must begin with them, but we have got
to do a tremendous amount with the older people.

I know one place in the northern part of the state where I camped for a while in the summer, and I went to the school and talked to the teachers. They are using school books which have been passed down from one child to another. They have practically no books outside of the textbooks. The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to the whole community to learn to live through their minds.

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.

What inference can the reader make about Jim’s feelings based on his actions at the end of the passage?

Jim feels contentment with knowing that, although their gifts are useless, their love for each other is strong.
Jim feels helpless to provide a better life for Della.
Jim feels indifference about the outcome since his gift was not costly.
Jim feels frustration because of the ruined gift.

Read the passage from The Odyssey - Amphimedon The swineherd led him to the manor later in rags like a foul beggar, old and broken, propped on a stick. These tatters that he wore hid him so well that none of us could know him when he turned up, not even the older men. We jeered at him, took potshots at him, cursed him. Daylight and evening in his own great hall he bore it, patient as a stone. The two similes in the passage present an image of Odysseus as: The Answers:
