Manuel was ready for the big day. He was going to make history by competing in the prestigious race of Speed Extraordinaire.
Nobody from his small town had ever made it to even the pre-qualifying stage. The day before, he ate the healthiest meals his mother
prepared for him and relaxed with his family between practices. They all wished him luck and waited eagerly for the next day.
Manuel was ready for tomorrow. He had done everything right the day before, and he went to bed feeling great. He set his alarm to
go off at five and closed his eyes. Manuel felt so much at ease than when he tried to shut his mind for the day, it refused. The battle
between his desire to sleep and his mind to stay in a relaxed but awake state was too strong. Before Manuel knew it, minutes turned
into hours, and the clock struck four.
The irony in this piece is that
O A.
Manuel tries so hard to relax that he cannot fall asleep.
ОВ.
Oc.
Manuel sets his alarm to go off, but he does not need it.
Manuel does everything he is supposed to, but he fails.
Manuel is going to make history despite the lack of rest.

2. Money Mark was born rich. He never had to work a day in his life and he got everything handed to
him on a silver platter. When he was six, Money Mark wanted to go to a basketball game. His father
paid the starting five of the Bulls and Celtics to play a private game of Nerf-ball in Money Mark's
bedroom. When Money Mark turned thirteen, he wanted to start a band. His father hired the Rolling
Stones to play with him every Saturday at the family's private concert hall, though his family was never
there. By the time he was twenty-one, Money Mark was bored with life. He was surrounded by a bunch
of possessions that he didn't appreciate and Money Mark could find nothing new or exciting in his life.
Despite his vast wealth, Money Mark never found happiness. Penny Petal was born poor. Her family
hardly had anything to eat, but they loved each other. Penny Petal appreciated every thing she got.
When she was six, her father walked her around the United Center before the Bulls played the Celtics.
She was excited by the crazy fans and feeling in the air. She looked forward to the day that she could
see a real game. When she was thirteen, she learned to play the buckets. She was an extremely talented
musician, a natural percussionist, and everyone on the block loved the rhythms that poured from her
palms. By the time she was twenty-one, Penny was a successful businesswoman. Now she had
everything that she had ever dreamed of and she truly loved to share her wealth and happiness with her
family who supported her through all of the hard times.

A Home Away from Home
When summer finally arrived and eighth grade ended, my thoughts turned to Grandma Rose and her small farm in South Carolina. I couldn't wait to sit with her on the porch and listen to her tell old family stories. Every summer, my parents, my younger brother and sisters, and I drove down to the farm from our apartment in Baltimore. Aunts, uncles, and cousins from other parts of the country joined us there. We all came to spend time together, share memories, and celebrate Grandma Rose's birthday.
I was named Caroline Rose after my Grandma Rose because we shared the same birthday. Grandma Rose referred to us as the "birthday gals," and we had our photograph taken together every year. This year, I was turning 15 and Grandma Rose was turning 84. In addition to having the same name and birthday, we shared other traits as well. "Caroline Rose, you're just as strong-willed as your Grandma Rose," Mama used to say to me in exasperation. I loved Grandma Rose and I wanted to be like her, so I didn't mind.
Daddy called the 12-hour drive to the farm "our pilgrimage," because it was a journey we made every summer to a place we held sacred. Our preparations felt just as sacred as our destination. The morning before the trip, my younger siblings and I pulled open closets and dresser drawers searching for shorts, bathing suits, and matching flip flops, which we packed in garbage bags. "Easier to fit a bunch of squishy garbage bags in the car than four bulky suitcases," Mama reasoned.
In the late afternoon we ate a supper of odds and ends—whatever was in the fridge that needed to be eaten before we left for two weeks: cold ham and macaroni salad, peanut butter and jelly on toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. It was always a surprise to see what Mama came up with for our pre-trip dinner.
Before an extra early bedtime, we fixed up the car so my brother and sisters and I would be comfortable during the long drive. We spread quilts on the seats and packed novels, coloring books, comic books, chewing gum, playing cards, and craft projects to keep ourselves busy. Then we went to bed with our clothes on. When our parents woke us up at three a.m., we shuffled into the car with our bed pillows and fell back asleep as Daddy began the long drive south.
Twelve hours later, we pulled up in front of Grandma Rose's old white house and burst out of the car. Many relatives had already arrived. Aunts and uncles squeezed the children, but we cousins greeted each other shyly.
It was my private custom to walk through the house and make sure everything was just as I remembered it—same pictures of birds and flowers hanging on the dining room wall, same green-and-yellow striped armchairs in the living room, same squeaky screened door leading out to the porch. In the kitchen, I'd stop to breathe in the house's familiar smells. Being back in this house made me feel like a long-lost book that had finally been returned to its owner and put back on the shelf where it belonged.
For the cousins, the annual visit was a way of measuring our growth, both physical and emotional. How much taller were we this summer? Which barn shelf could we reach? What would we be allowed to do this summer, now that we were a year older? The group of older cousins, which included me, talked about who had boyfriends or girlfriends. Last year, I'd turned bright red when this topic came up. This summer I did too, but now I had my boyfriend, Cash, to talk about.
I didn't realize then that the grown-ups were measuring themselves, too, but they used different standards: Who had new babies, grandbabies, or children starting high school or college? Who was ready to retire? How bad was the arthritis?
After dinner that first night, Grandma Rose and I sat down together on the porch to look through our birthday book—the little book that held our birthday photos. There were plenty of empty pages, and I wanted Grandma Rose and me to fill them up with years and years of birthday pictures. It was another kind of measuring stick.
Grandma Rose and I sat quietly for a while, just the two of us, just as I'd hoped we would. I was so grateful to be back on the farm—a place full of people I'd known and loved my whole life, with Grandma Rose at the center of our family universe.

i got confused on this one​

1. Reread the following text to view Marguerite’s response to this visit with Mrs. Flowers. I was liked, and what a difference it made. I was respected not as Mrs. Henderson’s grandchild or Bailey’s sister but just for being Marguerite Johnson. What is the story’s central idea?

Question options:

All people need mentorship in literature
All people must look out for themselves first.
All people long to feel respected and accepted
No central idea is present.

2. When the author describes Momma's store, she says, "Until we became familiar enough to belong to the Store and it to us, we were locked up in a Fun House of Things where the attendant had gone home for life." What does the sentence mean?

Question options:

The children will inherit the store after Momma dies.
The children are frightened of various items in their grandmother’s store.
Marguerite and Bailey are free to explore a place that is full of wonderful things.

The sound of empty cotton sacks dragging over the floor and the murmurs of waking people were sliced by the cash register as we rang up five-cent sales.
Brought back to the store, the pickers would step out of the backs of trucks and fold down, dirt disappointed, to the ground.
Their wages wouldn’t even get them out of debt to my grandmother, not to mention the staggering bill that waited on them at the white commissary downtown.
One man was going to pick two hundred pounds of cotton, and another three hundred.
