[SCENE: A room furnished comfortably and tastefully, but not extravagantly. At the back, a door to the right leads to the entrance-hall, another to the left leads to Helmer's study. Between the doors stands a piano. In the middle of the left-hand wall is a door, and beyond it a window. Near the window are a round table, arm-chairs and a small sofa. In the right-hand wall, at the farther end, another door; and on the same side, nearer the footlights, a stove, two easy chairs and a rocking-chair; between the stove and the door, a small table. Engravings on the walls; a cabinet with china and other small objects; a small book-case with well-bound books. The floors are carpeted, and a fire burns in the stove.
It is winter. A bell rings in the hall; shortly afterwards the door is heard to open. Enter NORA, humming a tune and in high spirits. She is in outdoor dress and carries a number of parcels; these she lays on the table to the right. She leaves the outer door open after her, and through it is seen a porter who is carrying a Christmas Tree and a basket, which he gives to the maid who has opened the door.]
Nora: Hide the Christmas Tree carefully, Helen. Be sure the children do not see it until this evening, when it is dressed. [To the porter, taking out her purse.] How much?

What is the central idea of the passage?
War by William Graham Sumner
The Monroe Doctrine is an exercise of authority by the United States over a controversy between two foreign states, if one of them is in America, combined with a refusal of the United States to accept any responsibility in connection with the controversy. That is a position which is sure to bring us into collision with other States, especially because it will touch their vanity, or what they call their honor — or it will touch our vanity, or what we call our honor, if we should ever find ourselves called upon to "back down" from it. Therefore it is very true that we must expect to need a big navy if we adhere to the doctrine. What can be more contrary to sound statesmanship and common sense than to put forth an abstract assertion which has no definite relation to any interest of ours now at stake, but which has in it any number of possibilities of producing complications which we cannot foresee, but which are sure to be embarrassing when they arise! What has just been said suggests a consideration of the popular saying, "In time of peace prepare for war." If you prepare a big army and navy and are all ready for war, it will be easy to go to war; the military and naval men will have a lot of new machines and they will be eager to see what they can do with them. There is no such thing nowadays as a state of readiness for war. It is a chimera, and the nations which pursue it are falling into an abyss of wasted energy and wealth. When the army is supplied with the latest and best rifles, someone invents a new field gun; then the artillery must be provided with that before we are ready. By the time we get the new gun, somebody has invented a new rifle and our rival nation is getting that; therefore we must have it, or one a little better. It takes two or three years and several millions to do that. In the meantime somebody proposes a more effective organization which must be introduced; signals, balloons, dogs, bicycles, and every other device and invention must be added, and men must be trained to use them all. There is no state of readiness for war; the notion calls for never-ending sacrifices. It is a fallacy. It is evident that to pursue such a notion with any idea of realizing it would absorb all the resources and activity of the state; this the great European states are now proving by experiment.
A.) A nation cannot expect peace by making preparations for war
B.) A state of peace will always lead to a state of war
C.) War is essential for the advancement of human society
D.) War is beneficial only to arms and weapons manufacturers
E.) Mankind is driven by its primal nature to engage in conflict

Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen
The invitation was accepted of course, and at a proper hour they joined the party in Lady Catherine's drawing room. Her ladyship received them civilly, but it was plain that their company was not exactly wanted; she was, in fact, almost engrossed by her nephews, Fitzwilliam and Darcy, speaking to them, especially to Darcy, much more than to any other person in the room. Colonel Fitzwilliam seemed really glad to see them; anything was a welcome relief to him at his aunt's; and Elizabeth Bennet had moreover caught his fancy very much. He now seated himself by her, and talked so agreeably of Kent and Hertfordshire, of traveling and staying at home, of new books and music, that Elizabeth had never been half so well entertained in that room before; and they conversed with so much spirit, as to draw the attention of Lady Catherine herself, as well as of Mr. Darcy. His eyes had been soon and repeatedly turned toward them with a 100k Of curiosity; and that her ladyship, after a while, shared the feeling, was more openly acknowledged, for she did not hesitate to call out: "What is that you are saying, Fitzwilliam? What is it you are talking of? What are you telling Miss Bennet? Let me hear what it is." "We are speaking of music, madam," said he, when no longer able to avoid a reply. "Of music! Then pray speak aloud. It is of all subjects my delight. I must have my share in the conversation if you are speaking of music. There are few people in England, I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great musician.... "l often tell young ladies that no excellence in music is to be acquired without constant practice. I have told Miss Bennet several times, that she will never play really well unless she practices more; and though Mrs. Collins has no instrument, she is very welcome, as I have often told her, to come here every day and play on the piano. She would be in nobody's way, you know, in that part of the house." Mr. Darcy looked a little ashamed of his aunt's ill breeding.

Because the workplace can be fast-paced and stressful, it can be easy to forget the people around you “. But use your own words , and thank you so much.
Answer:
Beginning a job, especially in a new and foreign area, can put a load of unnecessary pressure on you.

With everything going on around you all at once, you tend to lose track of how you communicate with people.
Explanation:
Q 6. “A Learning Experience with My Daughter”: My oldest daughter, Tania, who was about nine at that time, and I were driving to see her grandmother. I remember thinking that with Tania, building an Emotional Bank Account was a key. So, I thought, “What can I do in the thirty minutes we have together to make deposits in her bank account?” You know, this took a bit of courage. I’m not much of a chatterer when we travel. Mostly I drive in silence. So, I was a bit nervous suggesting the game I came up with. As we started, I said, “Tania, why don’t we play a game. What we want to do is say in turn ‘I feel good about you because …’ or ‘I liked what you did because …’ The ‘because’ is important because then we know why the other person likes us. Okay? I’ll start.” So, I started. I said something about her. Then she paused and said something about me. After about three or four things, I had to start thinking. I love my child so much, but I was having difficulty thinking of specific actions that I loved about her. I was searching for things to say. Tania found it easier. After about five or six, I could tell she was looking at my life and seeing me and what I did. She was grateful for what I did, the walks to the park, the basketball in the driveway, the fixing of bicycle punctures, the way I woke her up in the mornings. She could see all of me. I was still struggling. Then, as I looked at this little girl’s life, really looked at her and what she did every day in our family, I started to see. I saw her hugs, her little words, her thank-yous. I saw how well she was doing at school and how polite she was. I told her I loved it when I came home, and she gave me a big hug. When we started digging and looking, we couldn’t stop. This was only a thirty-minute trip. We got to twenty-two, twenty-three items and then I had to call it off. I couldn’t think of anything else. Frankly, I was stunned by the game. I felt good on one hand but discouraged on the other. Good that Tania could see so much (she wanted to continue the game), discouraged that I couldn’t find more. The rest of the trip we spent chattering to each other. I think the game started a dialogue that I hadn’t had with her before. When we arrived, Tania jumped out of the car and raced into the house and that’s when my heart almost broke. “Nani, Nani Jan” she shouted. “Baba knows so many good things about me. I didn’t know he knew so many good things about me.” Answer the following questions: (8) A. How the author is trying to make deposits in his Emotional Bank Account with his young daughter? B. What habit/s out of “The Seven Habits” other than the Emotional Bank Account is demonstrated here and how?
Answer:
A. The author is making deposits showing kindness and gratitude for things his daughter does.
B. The habits shown in this case are: Begin with the end in mind, Seek first to understand, then to be understood and Think win-win
Explanation:
The emotional bank account works like a regular bank account, but it aims to show how a relationship is being managed and whether it is a healthy relationship where good things are kept, leaving a positive balance, or if the relationship is toxic and leaving the account with a negative balance.
To make deposits in this account, individuals have to practice positive habits with people, thus generating healthy and happy relationships. In the complexion shown above, the author tries to be kind by showing how his daughter does good things that make him grateful and happy. This is an example of a deposit.
The author also asks his daughter to say what he does that makes her happy, so they can understand each other and realize that they are understood. The author did this with an objective in mind that was to allow deposits to be made in each one's emotional bank account, in addition, it allows for a pleasant activity where the two win.
The following question is based on your reading of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” What is your reaction to the book’s conclusion? Explain.
Answer:
This question requires an answer based on personal opinion. Below I will write what I think of the book so that you have help and in case you want to add or change information you can do so.
Explanation:
This book shows how a person cannot intervene with nature.
Dr Jekyll believed that the soul of every human being was divided in two, being able to separate good from evil. And he began to experiment with this, succeeding. In this way he gave life to his "bad half": Hyde.
Going against nature and what is moral, made him lose everything in his life. He lost his friends, he lost his reason and control of his life. He even ended up killing himself in order to free himself from this evil when he no longer had control over it.
We can say that there are things that are better to let happen naturally, and that in life everything has to have a balance. No person should release all their bad side or all their good side.

Read the passage. (1) Many American men were drafted during World War II. (2) Many other men volunteered to serve. (3) In fact, so many men entered the armed services that professional baseball experienced a shortage of good players. (4) Philip K. Wrigley had an interesting solution to the problem. (5) He started a new league. (6) It was called the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). (7) To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs. (8) They were very popular at that time. (9) The AAGPBL was a hit. (10) In 1948, the year in which the league reached its high point of popularity, more than a million fans came to watch AAGPBL games. (11) The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker. (12) Dorothy Kamenshek was also a fine player. (13) After World War II ended, the AAGPBL declined in popularity. (14) In 1954, the league was disbanded. Which is the most effective way to combine sentences (11) and (12)? The league produced many fine players, and they include Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek. The league produced many fine players, including Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek. The league produced many fine players, Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek also was fine. The league produced many fine players, Mary “Bonnie” Baker and Dorothy Kamenshek.
Answer:
"To find good players, he scouted women’s softball clubs, which were very popular at that time." is the correct answer. The last choice makes it sound like he's only scouting the popular women's softball clubs rather than all of them. The second to last option is not grammatically correct because of the comma between scouted and women's. The second option just replaces the period with a comma and and, which makes it still seem as if the two pieces of information are separate.

So much of our worldview is based on the ideas we are exposed to through the media. Explore the environmental issues/attitudes that you see in media. Briefly tell us about a movie, TV show, advertisement, etc. that has an environmental message. What does the literature and the Bible have to say about this
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I am going to explore the environmental issues/attitudes that I see in the media, taking the case of the film "An Inconvenient Truth," produced by former Democratic candidate to the presidency of the United States, Al Gore.
The film, released in 2006, tries to create conscience about the difficult topic of the damage that humans are inflicting on the environment and how mother Earth tends to react when so much noise, air, and water pollution abounds on the planet. The central topic is global warming, and the film presents testimonials and statistics about the increasing pollution levels in most parts of the earth and the damage industries and means of transportation causes the planet due to carbon dioxide.
Other pieces of literature support these concerns, meanwhile, the Bible warned of the kind of destruction that was created in the past if we sin and do not respect nature as a creation of God.

Which word best describes the narrator based on this excerpt?
A. Self-promoting
B. Social
C. Witty
D. Popular
Answer:
B. Social
Explanation:
In the excerpt from "Exhalation", the narrator describes himself in a manner that suggests that he is social. He talks about 'lingering to enjoy his conversations with friends, sharing the news of the day with each other and sharing the air from newly filled lungs'. He also talked about the solidarity and companionship that springs from the fact that they all share air from the same source.
A social person is one who is disposed to friendship with others. So from the excerpt, we can deduce that the narrator is a social person because he enjoys fellowship with his acquaintances.

Answer:
Option (c) is the correct answer to this question.
Explanation:
Upward:- Upward communication (also often known as vertical communication) becomes information that tends to transfer from low-level workers to high-level staff.
For example:- When employees report to a boss or when team members report to a department manager, upward contact occurs. Products generally relayed upward usually involve weekly updates, progress reports, guesstimates of the budget, frustrations, and people complaining, areas for improvement, and curriculum issues.
A flow of information sometimes provokes some upward reaction, such as when a supervisor requests a suggestion for a replacement part or a predict of when a project is finished.
Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.
