Read this excerpt from “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe. Then fill in the blanks in the paragraph that follows.
TRUE! — nervous — very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily — how calmly I can tell you the whole story.
It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture — a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees — very gradually — I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.
In these opening lines, the reader is presented with a narrator who wants to kill "the old man" because of his eye. The author uses the lines to present a conflict. Based on this excerpt, this stage of the plot is most likely to occur in .

Why does Nisha say, “I knew I would remember this forever?”

Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows. Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but was out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people. How is the example of a public protest similar to the family dinner vote? Both require government laws to maintain order and safety. Both show conflict between the rights of individuals and groups. Both explain why the rights of groups always win over individual wants. Both demonstrate the downside of depending on voting to make decisions. Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows. The USS Alabama, built in 1942, is a monster weighing in at 35,000 tons. The ship was built during the Second World War and spent 40 months actively assisting the war effort in the Pacific Ocean.

Read the following passage from "Resistance to Civil Government" by Henry
David Thoreau:

Yet this government never of itself furthered any
enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its
way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle
the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in
the American people has done all that has been
accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if
the government had not sometimes got in its way.

Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below: President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike. The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory. Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you. Which line from the text suggests it is important to let service men and women know their sacrifices are valued? Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide.

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of
the paragraph?
Read this paragraph from.chapter 5 of The Prince.
There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans.
The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing
there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The
Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and
Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They
wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it
free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to
hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in
the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain
them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who
becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and
does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for
in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its
ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time
nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever
you may do or provide against, they never forget that
name or their privileges unless they are disunited or

A.The Spartans and the Romans are alike in how they
retain possession of newly acquired states.

B.The Spartans and the Romans are alike in their
approach to ruling newly acquired states.

C.Observing what happened to the Spartans and the
Romans shows that it is best to destroy a newly
acquired state that is accustomed to freedom.

D. Observing what happened to the Spartans and the
Romans shows that it is best to establish an oligarchy
in a newly acquired state that is accustomed to
freedom

Despite being reintroduced in the 1600s by idle, muddle-headed aristocrats in order to be slaughtered for fun, all the wild boars that were brought to Australia from the continent eventually died out.


For the next 300 years there were no boars in Australia, but in the 1980s farmers saw a chance to diversify and began to import and farm them. Some of these beautiful, intelligent animals escaped and established herds of their own, once again living wild and purely natural lives.


While their ideal home is in woodland, boars are hardy and are able to live in multiple habitats.
