Five dead leaves falling
upward onto the branches
of a bare oak tree

THE END OF WINTER
As I approached, I startled a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass, and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree. It was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare. But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending. As I watched, the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food. Like winter, I was just an interruption.

What part of the story does the poem focus on?

A.
The fact that it still looks like winter
B.
The ways you can see that spring is coming
C.

What the sparrows look like flying up into the oak tree

Read the excerpt from "A Defence of Poetry.”

There is this difference between a story and a poem, that a story is a catalogue of detached facts, which have no other connexion than time, place, circumstance, cause and effect; the other is the creation of actions according to the unchangeable forms of human nature, as existing in the mind of the Creator, which is itself the image of all other minds. The one is partial, and applies only to a definite period of time, and a certain combination of events which can never again recur; the other is universal, and contains within itself the germ of a relation to whatever motives or actions have place in the possible varieties of human nature.

In this excerpt, Shelley conveys the central idea that poetry

exists only in one’s mind.
contains a wealth of facts.
expresses a universal truth.
describes a specific event.

1) As we scroll through our social media feeds each day, most people enjoy videos of adorable animals or stunning photos of natural landscapes. (2) Far from simply brightening our day, engagement with the natural world through social media may actually be helping to save our planet.

(3) Both individuals and organizations increasingly use social media to raise awareness of environmental issues and support conservation research. (4) A research article, news report, or photograph that “goes viral” can reach a global audience in a matter of minutes, connecting interested people with each other and allowing for a nearly immediate exchange of ideas. (5) In 2012, for example, a high school student posted a picture of an unusual lizard he saw in a local park to a nature-focused social network, where other members identified the lizard and noted how far it was from its known habitat. (6) This in turn became useful data for researchers studying these lizards and their changing ecosystem.

(7) The global audience provided by social media can also have a considerable economic impact for environmental causes. (8) Consumer pressure following the viral circulation of photos of turtles and other marine life injured by plastic drinking straws, for example, has led major corporations to seek more environmentally sustainable options. (9) Partly because viral content often makes people get all weepy, social media has also provided powerful fund-raising opportunities. (10) After a video recently circulated showing a rescued chimpanzee who enjoys playing with dolls, online donations to the rescue organization began pouring in. (11) Many social media platforms allow users to set up a donation campaign for an organization they support without any real effort on the part of the organization itself, increasing the benefit of even small donations.

(12) While some may argue that “hashtag activism” and online discussion have little real-world impact on individual behavior or public policy, social media is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool to draw attention—and resources—to conservation efforts. The writer wants to support the main argument of the second paragraph (sentences 3-6) by adding information from another reliable source.

Each of the following sources would achieve this purpose EXCEPT

A
a report from a major wildlife conservation organization that shows a significant increase in the number of its social media followers who engaged with the organization’s online content

B
a blog post on a university environmental club’s Web site about how the club used social media to organize an awareness event with partners in eleven countries

C
an article published in a scholarly journal that details how a research team used social media to recruit volunteers to assist with data collection on bird habitats

D
a newspaper article about a community garden club that distributed several thousand pollinator-friendly seed packets after a video of the club members singing about bees went viral

E
a video from a marketing research firm that promotes services offered to environmental groups, such as developing brand images that will increase their social media presence
