Which lines in this excerpt of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol reflect the theme of compassion versus material gain?

[“But you were always a good man of business, Jacob,” faltered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself.]

[“Business!” cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. “Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, we’re all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!”]

It held up its chain at arms length, as if that were the cause of all its unavailing grief, and flung it heavily upon the ground again.

“At this time of the rolling year,” the spectre said, “I suffer most. Why did I walk through crowds of fellow beings with my eyes turn down, and never raise them to that blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode! Were there are no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me!”

[Scrooge was very much dismayed to hear the spectre going on at this rate, and began to quake exceedingly.]

“Hear me!”cried the Ghost. “My time is nearly gone.”

“I will,” said Scrooge. “But don’t be hard upon me! Don’t be flowery, Jacob! Pray!”

“How it is that I appear before you in a shape that you can see, I may not tell. I have sat invisible beside you many and many a day.”

It was not an agreeable idea. Scrooge shivered, and wiped the perspiration from his brow.

[That is no light part of my penance,” pursued the Ghost. “I am here to-night to warn you, that you have yet a chance and hope of escaping my fate. A chance and hope of my procuring, Ebenezer.”]

“You we’re always a good friend to me,” said Scrooge. “Thank’ee!”

Select the correct text in the passage. In this excerpt from "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, which pair of lines casts doubt on the certainty the speaker felt when choosing one path over the other? Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

How should I start my personal narrative story about quarantine

Read the excerpt from Travels with Charley.

For many years I have traveled in many parts of the world. In America I live in New York, or dip into Chicago or San Francisco. But New York is no more America than Paris is France or London is England. Thus I discovered that I did not know my own country. I, an American writer, writing about America, was working from memory, and the memory is at best a faulty, warpy reservoir. I had not heard the speech of America, smelled the grass and trees and sewage, seen its hills and water, its color and quality of light. I knew the changes only from books and newspapers. But more than this, I had not felt the country for twenty-five years.
