Read the following excerpt from William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury:

As the scudding day passed overhead the dingy windows glowed and faded in ghostly retrograde. A car passed along the road outside, laboring in the sand, died away.

The author uses the word laboring to emphasize which idea?

A.
the work that the driver had completed that day
B.
the difficulty the car had in moving
C.
the dedication of the driver to the task at hand
D.
the amount of time the car had been in the shop

Answer: I think the answer for this is B

Explanation: I think the answer is B because most times when someone uses the word 'laboring' in a story it has to do with exhaustion, or how hard something is, and the answer is B because the story mentions a car, then sand, and the story doesn't talk about the driver's life or hard work, it talks about the car moving, so because the story is talking about the car and how it moves, it's saying that the car is having a hard time moving. Along with that, the story didn't mention the car in a shop, so the answer is B.

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game by Paul Janeczko, To introduce the topic, Janeczko includes O relevant historical facts. O quotations from military sources statistics from code breakers. surprising personal anecdotes. As a result of the cut cables, Germany lost its most secure long-distance communications system. The Germans now had to rely on radio transmissions from their powerful wireless station at Nauen, a few miles from Berlin. Which was exactly what the British military knew they would have to do. And once the Germans began sending wireless messages, MI8, the British code breakers, began plucking them from the air. Of course, all German correspondence was sent in a complicated cipher system, so that was when the hard work began for the code breakers of M18.​

Reread this excerpt from The Call of the Wild.
An oath from Perrault, the resounding impact of a club
upon a bony frame, and a shrill yelp of pain, heralded the
breaking forth of pandemonium. The camp was
suddenly discovered to be alive with skulking furry
forms,-starving huskies, four or five score of them,
who had scented the camp from some Indian village.
They had crept in while Buck and Spitz were fighting,
and when the two men sprang among them with stout
clubs they showed their teeth and fought back. They
were crazed by the smell of the food. Perrault found one
with head buried in the grub-box.
O Perrault is fighting stray dogs that have invaded the
campsite looking for food.
O Perrault is punishing members of his dogsled team
for their aggressive acts.
Perrault is reprimanding his dogsled team for stealing
scraps of food.
O Perrault is feeding wild dogs and training them for
work on his team.

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas. Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall. The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas. As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization. In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents. The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas. Select a sentence from the body of this article that can be removed without affecting the author's explanation.

Which element of the romantic movement is present in this excerpt from the "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsworth? Will no one tell me what she sings?-- Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again? Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending;-- I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.
