Select the correct answer. Read the excerpt from “Federigo’s Falcon” by Giovanni Boccaccio. What is the tone of Monna’s speech to Federigo? The lady and her companion rose, went to the table together with Federigo, who waited upon them with the greatest devotion, and they ate the good falcon without knowing what it was they were eating. And having left the table and spent some time in pleasant conversation, the lady thought it time now to say what she had come to say, and so she spoke these kind words to Federigo: “Federigo, if you recall your past life and my virtue, which you perhaps mistook for harshness and cruelty, I do not doubt at all that you will be amazed by my presumption when you hear what my main reason for coming here is; but if you had children, through whom you might have experienced the power of parental love, it seems certain to me that you would, at least in part, forgive me. But, just as you have no child, I do have one, and I cannot escape the common laws of other mothers; the force of such laws compels me to follow them, against my own will and against good manners and duty, and to ask of you a gift which I know is most precious to you; and it is naturally so, since your extreme condition has left you no other delight, no other pleasure, no other consolation; and this gift is your falcon, which my son is so taken by that if I do not bring it to him, I fear his sickness will grow so much worse that I may lose him. And therefore I beg you, not because of the love that you bear for me, which does not oblige you in the least, but because of your own nobility, which you have shown to be greater than that of all others in practicing courtliness, that you be pleased to give it to me, so that I may say that I have saved the life of my son by means of this gift, and because of it I have placed him in your debt forever.” A. casual B. friendly C. formal D. gracious please give me the right answer quick I have a test

Read the following passage from "Resistance to Civil Government" by Henry
David Thoreau:

Yet this government never of itself furthered any
enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its
way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle

the American people has done all that has been
accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if
the government had not sometimes got in its way.

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of
the paragraph?
Read this paragraph from.chapter 5 of The Prince.
There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans.
The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing
there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The
Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and
Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They
wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it
free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to
hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in
the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain
them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who
becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and
does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for
in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its
ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time
nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever
you may do or provide against, they never forget that
name or their privileges unless they are disunited or

From "A Nocturnal Reverie" by Anne Finch When a sedate content the spirit feels, And no fierce light disturbs, whilst it reveals;
But silent musings urge the mind to seek Something, too high for syllables to speak; Till the free soul to a composedness charmed,
Finding the elements of rage disarmed, O'er all below a solemn quiet grown, Joys in the inferior world, and thinks it like her own:

Despite being reintroduced in the 1600s by idle, muddle-headed aristocrats in order to be slaughtered for fun, all the wild boars that were brought to Australia from the continent eventually died out.


For the next 300 years there were no boars in Australia, but in the 1980s farmers saw a chance to diversify and began to import and farm them. Some of these beautiful, intelligent animals escaped and established herds of their own, once again living wild and purely natural lives.


While their ideal home is in woodland, boars are hardy and are able to live in multiple habitats.

INSTRUCTIONS In this assignment, you will revise the story below to create your own story an improved final draft. You will also submit a reflection paragraph.

PARAGRAPH:On March 15, 2014, the residents of New York City buried a time capsule. Their hope was that on March 15, 2114, it would be opened and the future residents of NYC would see what life was like 100 years in the past. Locked away in the titanium cylinder were important artifacts from the present day. The objects were chosen by citizens from all walks of life and professions: librarians, teens, computer programmers, medical professionals, research scientists, gardeners, biologists, and more. Etched onto the surface of the time capsule were the words of a famous author, William Faulkner: "I believe that man will not merely endure. He will prevail….because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance." The capsule was buried with much hope for the future. Sadly, things didn’t turn out as they had hoped. By March 15, 2514, New York had become a desperate place. Something big had changed. The city was in near ruins. Citizens were terrified. Two teens – or kidz, as they were called now – were on their way home from a secret meeting. As they walked in the shadows to avoid detection, they tripped on a huge titanium cylinder. Etched into the surface were a series of scratched-out words. The only words they could make out were, "He will prevail." The kidz dragged the heavy cylinder into a hidden alleyway and twisted it open. The glow from their flashlights revealed what was inside. With gasps of relief, they looked at each other with hope in their eyes for the first time in years.
