Which two statements from the passage best illustrate the central ideas?

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.

Julie read To Kill a Mockingbird and Romeo and Juliet, the assigned literature for English I, and decided to write a short
narrative with a theme related to parental influence on children's lives.

Schaefer from the narrator's point of view? Click here to read Julie's "To the Beach."

A) "I can hardly wait until the weather reporters try to explain it," Mrs. Schaefer responded animatedly. "Any tropical storm-past,
present, or future-has seldom been known for bringing good luck!"

This is the best conclusion because it point out that, like many parents, Cathy's mom was inclined to add her comments.

B) Mrs. Schaefer was speechless. Then she thought of how Mrs. Greer would howl when she got the news of Debbie's new way of
seeking fame-as a storm!

Because most of what readers learn about Mrs. Schaefer is told through narration, this conclusion is best.

C) Mrs. Schaefer grinned, her expression a familiar one to Debbie. After all, how would the girls have ever gone forward with their plans
for a beach vacation if it weren't for Cathy's mom?

This conclusion is best because it confirms that, In spite of having the trip suggested by the girls, it took adults to help implement
their plans.

D ) "To have the chance to test the elements is one thing." Mrs. Schaefer chortled, "but having your name chosen is definitely a positive
sign. Why not bring a shovel
to dig for treasure in case this becomes a wave of good fortune?

Because Cathy's mom was typically impulsive about repeating herself, this is the best conclusion.​

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.

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

What is most likely the reason Lincoln repeats his declaration that "all persons held as slaves . . . shall be . . . free" in his Emancipation Proclamation?

because time has passed since Lincoln’s initial proposal to emancipate slaves, he must differentiate between the two proposals

because Lincoln wishes to test what he assumes is the rhetorical power of repetition when addressing the nation’s citizens, Lincoln uses it effectively in this declaration

because he knows that the subject is certain to provoke strong public opinion, Lincoln chooses to emphasize the struggle that will result from emancipation of slaves

because Lincoln first offered a deadline for pro-slavery states to return to Union control, he repeats the main points of that order

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction
foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our
laws, giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended
legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial from
