Read the narrative below and answer the question that follows:

a) “Ladies and g-g-g-gentlemen, thank you all for j-j-j-joining me today.” Mary buried her face in her hands. She had not asked for this. After her father passed away, she had inherited his automotive company. She was not in charge of a company that employed thousands and thousands of people. All of these people livelihoods now rested on her shoulders. All these people were counting on her to lead them, and she could not even provide them with a stutter free sentence.

b) She had one hour before she had to deliver the most important speech of her life. She was worried that if she messed this up, she would ruin the company. She had no idea how right she was. If this speech did not go well many of her employees would not respect her. She would be faced with many of the distract managers feeling that they could do a better job than Mary and attempt to usurp power. This would lead to a decline in productivity, worker strikes, massive layoffs, and the downfall of the company. She had to inspire her workers with this speech, or the company was doomed.

c) “Ladies and g-g-g-g-g-gentlemen….” Mary just wanted to cry. Her stutter always got worse when she was nervous. She never seemed to be able to control it without her dad’s help. She remembered when her dad would try to help her. Her favorite time was fifteen years ago around Christmas time. They were making Christmas cookies and she was having a hard time saying “jingle bells.” When she got frustrated her dad held her in his arms and had her sing “Jingle Bells.” She did not know why, but when the words were set to music she could do it.

d) Mary’s eyes grew wide. That was the answer: Music! She scrambled thought her notes. It was not perfect, but she could set the speech to music in here head. She cleared her throat and bobbed her head like it was a metronome. She took a deep breath, smiled, and said “Ladies and gentleman, thank you for joining me here today.”

I have to tell you—I’ve never won anything in my life. I’ve lost every contest I’ve ever entered. I mean, there was the time I won the school raffle, but that doesn’t count because the prize was so small—only a new book bag. That book bag fell apart right after I used it, so it’s obviously not a good prize. And you can’t count the time I won that quiz on the radio because in that case, there wasn’t even a prize! Just bragging rights! I was the only person listening who knew that Carmelo Anthony owns a camel. And I am not counting the time I won the school spelling bee because I nearly lost it—it was so close, I was two points behind my competitor. So you should believe me when I say I’ve never won a contest, ever, and it’s about time I start.

A

I look at the world
From awakening eyes in a black face —
And this is what I see:
This fenced-off narrow space
Assigned to me.
I look then at the silly walls
Through dark eyes in a dark face —
And this is what I know:
That all these walls oppression builds
Will have to go!
I look at my own body
With eyes no longer blind —
And I see that my own hands can make
The world that's in my mind.
Then let us hurry, comrades,
The road to find.

Read the excerpt from “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving. Having nothing to do at home, and being arrived at that happy age when a man can do nothing with impunity, he took his place once more on the bench, at the inn door, and was reverenced as one of the patriarchs of the village, and a chronicle of the old times “before the war.” It was some time before he could get into the regular track of gossip, or could be made to comprehend the strange events that had taken place during his torpor. How that there had been a revolutionary war—that the country had thrown off the yoke of old England—and that, instead of being a subject of his majesty George the Third he was now a free citizen of the United States. Rip, in fact, was no politician; the changes of states and empires made but little impression on him. But there was one species of despotism under which he had long groaned, and that was—petticoat government. Happily, that was at an end; he had got his neck out of the yoke of matrimony, and could go in and out whenever he pleased, without dreading the tyranny of Dame Van Winkle. Whenever her name was mentioned, however, he shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and cast up his eyes; which might pass either for an expression of resignation to his fate, or joy at his deliverance. How does this scene affect the text? It explains that just as America has gained freedom from the British, Rip has found freedom from his wife. It indicates that Rip’s experience in the mountains changed his attitude and behaviors for the better. It conveys the idea that Rip’s time away from his community has created distance between him and his friends. It provides important details about the causes and effects of the war and its impact on Rip’s community.
