Read the excerpt below of Mr. Bedford’s first meeting with Mr. Cavor. What were your first impressions of the two characters? Take a moment to describe your thoughts about one of these characters in about 150 words. Be sure to use the details provided in the reading to support your conclusions. He had his watch out as I came up to him. He had a chubby, rubicund face with reddish brown eyes—previously I had seen him only against the light. “One moment, sir,” said I as he turned. He stared. “One moment,” he said, “certainly. Or if you wish to speak to me for longer, and it is not asking too much —your moment is up—would it trouble you to accompany me?” “Not in the least,” said I, placing myself beside him. “My habits are regular. My time for intercourse—limited.” “This, I presume, is your time for exercise?” “It is. I come here to enjoy the sunset.” “You don’t.” “Sir?” “You never look at it.” “Never look at it?” “No, I’ve watched you thirteen nights, and not once have you looked at the sunset—not once.”

Answer:

Thoughts about Mr. Bedford when he meets Mr. Cavor at Lympne

Explanation:

As I sit here writing in the shadows of vine-leaves beneath the blue sky of southern Italy, it occurs to me with a sense of awe that my involvement in Mr. Cavor's remarkable exploits was, after all, the result of the most innocent chance. It could've been anyone. I got into these things at a time when I felt I was safe from any potentially distressing encounters. I'd gone to Lympne because I considered it to be the most boring spot on the planet. “At the very least, here,” I declared, “I shall find serenity and a chance to work!”

I believe it is best if Charlie advocates for reducing speeds when there are whales. As said, lowering speeds would make it easier for boats to avoid whales and hopefully make strikes less harmful if they do occur. Given that whales don’t always stay in the same place, it does not matter if we expand our shipping lanes. Because at any time, the same thing could occur.

HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



(MC)
I MET a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Which of the following would be an additional example of situational irony?

(10 points)

A. Learning the traveler did not expect to see a broken statue in the desert

B. Learning the traveler found more ruins

C. Learning the king expected his statue to crumble

D. Learning the king knew he would be forgotten as time passed

Read the two passages.


Passage 1


Its stunning natural scenery makes the Great Barrier Reef a popular tourist destination. About two million people visit the reef each year. Most of those visitors are domestic tourists. This is largely due to the fact that Australia is so far away from most places. There are lots of different ways to experience the Great Barrier Reef. Visitors can go diving, fishing, swimming, and enjoy water sports. Some people choose to tour the reef by airplane or helicopter, and others may tour the reef by boat. Tourists can take in the spectacular scenery from a small dinghy or a grand superyacht. There are even glass-bottomed boats that let passengers view the underwater wildlife and scenery. Adventurous visitors may seek out one of the handful of havens where they can swim with wild dolphins. One of the major appeals of these activities is that most of them do not require special training or expensive equipment. There is no one way for people to experience the reef. Regardless of the activities people choose, they encounter some of the most stunning maritime scenery on the planet.


Passage 2


On our visit to the Great Barrier Reef this last summer, we discovered how stunning this natural wonder is. We weren't alone. Thousands of tourists joined us to take in the wonders that the reef offers. Though we were among thousands, many people, like us, were from Australia. It makes sense I guess, as Australia is quite isolated and harder to travel to. We just felt lucky to experience this amazing reef alongside other Australians and people from all over the world. There were so many activities to choose from. We decided to go snorkeling. We also took a ride in a glass-bottomed boat. We saw so many fish on that boat trip, and we even saw a giant stingray! After a long day at the beach and out on the water, we heard what some other tourists had experienced during the day. There was one thing we agreed on: the Great Barrier Reef offered some of the most incredible underwater scenery any of us had ever seen.


What information does the reader learn from Passage 1 that is not included in Passage 2?

1 The reader learns about a larger variety of activities people can do to experience the reef.

2 The reader learns about a tourist's point of view while visiting the reef and what made it special.

3 The reader learns about how glass-bottomed boats were made and why they are exciting for tourists.

4 The reader learns about which activities were enjoyable for tourists and which should be avoided.

Read the excerpt from "Everest Then and Now."


The first attempt to climb Everest was made by British climbers George Mallory and Guy Bullock in 1921. The pair did not make it to the top of the mountain, nor did the many who made attempts in the several decades that followed. A strange and ambitious quest occurred in 1933. A British millionaire named Lady Houston funded a mission involving a formation of British aircraft that flew over the peak of Everest. Their plan was to drop the British flag on the summit of the mountain. It was the first flight over Everest, but not the first journey to the peak by foot. The first climbers to summit Everest were New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, a local climber from Nepal. A handful of other climbers made a few more successful summits in the decade that followed. On May 1, 1963, Jim Whittaker was the first American to stand atop Everest and look down at the clouds.


How would the information be different if the excerpt were told from a first-person point of view?

1 The author might give his or her feelings about the attempts and might give an opinion about why it was hard for people to reach the summit.

2 The author might give more details about Jim Whittaker's excursion and the challenges he faced while trying to reach the summit.

3 The author might give more details about the type of British aircraft that was used by the millionaire Lady Houston's mission to fly over the summit.

4 The author might give more information about hikers who have reached the summit more recently and what countries they came from.
