To where the roads on either hand
Lead onward into fairy land,
Where all the children dine at five,
And all the playthings come alive.

O It shows that the author has the ability to see the future.
It emphasizes the dreamlike world of the speaker's imagination,
O It highlights that the speaker has visited many far-off places

Answer:

The answer is; It emphasizes the dreamlike world of the speakers imagination.

There in one view we grasp the mighty whole, Or with new worlds amaze th' unbounded soul. What does the speaker compare imagination to in the poem? A. a soaring bird B. the sky C. a cloud D. a sailing ship

Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative. Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing.

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game by Paul
Janeczko
What topic does Janeczko introduce in this passage?
O the power of Washington, D.C., during the Civil War
O the lives of famous spies during the Civil War
O the most effective methods for crossing enemy lines
O the South's geographical advantage in the Civil War
Most of the war was fought in states south of
Washington, D.C., so Southerners saw the Union army
as an invading force. For the Union soldiers, this meant
they had to fight in unfamiliar and hostile territory. This
matter of geography affected the spies who worked
behind enemy lines. Northern spies could not often
count on much hospitality from Southerners. On the
other hand, since so much of the war was fought in the
South, Confederate spies could usually find a safe
house, or at least a sympathetic soul who was willing to
allow a "good southern boy" to hide in their barn until
the danger had passed

Just last week, I was walking down the street with my mother, and I again found myself conscious of the
English I was using, the English I do use with her. We were talking about the price of new and used furniture
and I heard myself saying this: "Not waste money that way." My husband was with us as well, and he didn't
notice any switch in my English. And then I realized why. It's because over the twenty years we've been
together I've often used that same kind of English with him, and sometimes he even uses it with me. It has
become our language of intimacy, a different sort of English that relates to family talk, the language I grew up
with.

Read this excerpt from the speech. Finally, if the salaries of women are raised, havoc will ensue. Companies cannot take on that extra burden, and many will fold. Or, companies will be forced to enact equality another way; instead of raising women’s salaries, they will decrease men’s. What makes the reasoning in this excerpt fallacious? The excerpt evades the real issue by theorizing how equal pay would affect the economy. The excerpt is told from a male perspective, which calls into question its credibility. The excerpt attacks women personally by implying that women would not mind an increase in their salary at men's expense. The excerpt uses oversimplification by implying change would be instantaneous and have one of two negative effects.
