Passage A—An excerpt from Katherine Johnson's autobiography
I remember it like it was yesterday. Everyone was so nervous. John Glenn and his crew would be the first American Astronauts to orbit the Earth, and it was up to me to make sure they were safe. The computer was supposed to calculate the numbers. I was supposed to be watching the launch in my living room with the rest of the country, but not everything goes as planned. The computers were new, and not everybody, especially Mr. Glenn trusted them.
I got the call to check the numbers right before the launch. I was honored but terrified that Mr. Glenn asked for me personally. The country, although they didn't know it, was counting on me. I took a deep breath and did the work I did every day. I computed the numbers. Luckily, the numbers matched and with my assurance John Glenn and his crew launched up into space. The rest was history.
Passage B—Katherine Johnson's story took too many years to be told. Very few people realize that her genius can be thanked for modern space exploration. In fact, John Glenn refused to launch his historic 1962 orbital mission without her telling him it was safe. The computer was just invented, and it was the first time it was used to calculate something so important. Before the computer, the math was done by NASA employees, many of them women. John Glenn trusted Katherine before any computer. Even when everyone else assured him that the math was correct and he would be safe, he refused to put himself and his men in danger without Katherine checking the work. Because of her, and many of the hidden figures like her, the United States began to lead the space race.
Which statement best describes how the reader knows if Passage A is a firsthand account or a secondhand account?
A. The reader learns facts that Katherine might not know.
B. The reader learns what Katherine was feeling.
C. The reader knows that John Glenn trusted Katherine.
D. The reader knows that Katherine was a genius.

the laws of nature
(Sec. 3). This appeals to
Montaigne's argument that benefiting at the expense of others is actually according to the laws of nature appeals to the law of the jungle.
How to explain the informationThis law states that in nature, there is a constant struggle for survival and that the strong will always prey on the weak. Montaigne argues that this same law applies to human society, and that those who are able to benefit at the expense of others are simply following the natural order of things.
Montaigne's argument is controversial, and there are many who would argue that it is morally wrong to benefit at the expense of others. However, Montaigne's argument is also thought-provoking, and it forces us to consider the nature of human society and the role of competition in our lives.
In addition to the law of the jungle, Montaigne's argument may also appeal to the survival of the fittest.

I remember when the world broke in,
To rip apart my soul,
For years after that one event,
I thought myself not whole,
My hours were spent with trying,
To fix it up with tape and glue,
Until one day I discovered,
Everyone else was broken too,
Here we were with pieces,
Of ourselves in both our hands,
So fragile and so open,
That I began to understand,
Maybe I'd been greedy,
To want my soul all to myself,
When it could be a lot more helpful,
In the palms of someone else,
Now every time I go somewhere,
I leave part of me behind,
And collect all of the pieces,
Of others' souls that I can find,
So when I'm meeting someone new, It's not just me they get,
But also tiny fragments,
Of all the others that I've met,
And my life's become much bigger,
Now that it's home to things so small, And if this is what "broken" means,
I do not mind at all.

4. Synthesize Review the third and fourth stanzas. How
do Booker T. and W.E.B.'s views of the fight for civil rights
differ? Use evidence from the poem in your answer.
The views of Booker T. and W.E.B. on civil rights differ from how blacks should pursue these rights.
We can arrive at this answer because:
W.E.B believed that civil rights alone would be achieved through the direct claim of these rights.He argued that for this to happen, blacks should strive to receive a formal education, which would allow them to understand their political and social roles, become intellectual, ready to debate white society and claim their political and civil rights.Booker T. rebuked such thinking and did not believe it would do black people any good, but it would promote more racism.Booker T. stated that blacks should maintain their inferior roles in relation to whites, not face them and not seek to claim rights.For him, blacks should strive to have economic independence and take care of each other.He claimed that economic independence and material growth would allow civil rights to come naturally and keep blacks safe.You have not shown the text this question refers to, but I hope this information can help you.

Read the passage. The Ornithopter Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine. In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be "a beastly madness. " He preferred to make things of beauty. Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. "I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense," he wrote. Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideasâ€"he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway. Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word "ornithopter" comes from two words meaning "bird" and "wings. " And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor li.
