Answer:“Human rights” is a fairly modern concept, and it is one that has been getting a
great deal of attention here in the early years of the twenty-first century. While opinions
differ wildly about what constitutes human rights, most modern world citizens believe
that all people should have at least the most basic rights. In the following essay, I will
briefly examine this concept by discussing what I consider to be basic human rights. To
facilitate my discussion, I will categorize these rights as individual rights, national rights,
and general societal rights, and I will talk about just one right from each category.
As a basic individual right, I believe that I have a right to think anything that I
choose without hindrance or persecution. What I mean by this is that I should have the
freedom to think any way that I wish without someone telling me that I have to think a
certain way. For example, my government or workplace superiors should never tell me
that I must think a certain way, because the thoughts inside my head are none of their
business. Furthermore, I have the right not to tell people how I truly think about
something if I choose to remain silent. For example, I have the right to not say anything
about what I think to a police officer, lawyer, or judge. My right to think my own thoughts
helps me preserve my own identity, and it helps ensure that I will not get myself into
trouble if I am in a bad situation. If this right were taken away from me, I might as well
be locked into prison, because I do not believe that I could be a free individual without
my own thoughts.
One of the basic national rights that I believe that people of all nations should
have is the right to vote for the leaders who run their governments. In other words, all
people should have the right to vote in open, free, fair elections. For example, people of
all nations should choose their country’s president, prime minister, or other government representatives. This is an important national right, because people should be able to
choose their leaders instead of having their leaders chosen for them or having their
leaders decided by birth. In countries in the world where people are not allowed to vote
for their leaders, such as the People’s Republic of China and North Korea among
others, common people have no voice in their governments, and they normally also do
not have other freedoms and rights.
At the macro level of human society as a whole, I believe that all people should
have a right to the basic sustenance of food and water. It is a shame that with the
modern wonders of the twenty-first century, people in many parts of the world regularly
go without food and water for reasons other than those caused by natural disasters. For
example, people in many parts of the world go without food and water because of
warfare. Also, people all over the world go without food and water due to a lack of
money to buy food and water. Food and water are the basic needs of human existence.
People can live without clothing and shelter – let alone automobiles, cellular phones,
and diamond rings – but life can survive only a limited time without food and water.
Actually, there is no recognized basic human right to food and water, but this ideal is at
the top of my list of what I consider to be general rights for all humankind.
In conclusion, I believe that any concept of human rights should include the right
for individuals to think as they choose, the right for people to vote for their national
leaders, and the right for people to have food and water to sustain themselves. Without
these basic rights, I do not believe that it is possible for people to truly be free. However,
with these rights at the top of the list of basic human rights, I believe that it is possible to
achieve a world society in which all people are free and live in peace.

Read the following passage from Heywood Broun’s The Fifty-First Dragon to answer questions 6-10.
OF all the pupils at the knight school Gawaine le Cur-Hardy was among the least promising. He was tall and sturdy, but his instructors soon discovered that he lacked spirit. He would hide in the woods when the jousting class was called, although his companions and members of the faculty sought to appeal to his better nature by shouting to him to come out and break his neck like a man. Even when they told him that the lances were padded, the horses no more than ponies and the field unusually soft for late autumn, Gawaine refused to grow enthusiastic. The Headmaster and the Assistant Professor of Pleasaunce were discussing the case one spring afternoon and the Assistant Professor could see no remedy but expulsion.
“No,” said the Headmaster, as he looked out at the purple hills which ringed the school, “I think I’ll train him to slay dragons.”
“He might be killed,” objected the Assistant Professor.
“So he might,” replied the Headmaster brightly, but he added, more soberly, “we must consider the greater good. We are responsible for the formation of this lad’s character.”
“Are the dragons particularly bad this year?” interrupted the Assistant Professor. This was characteristic. He always seemed restive when the head of the school began to talk ethics and the ideals of the institution.
“I’ve never known them worse,” replied the Headmaster. “Up in the hills to the south last week they killed a number of peasants, two cows and a prize pig. And if this dry spell holds there’s no telling when they may start a forest fire simply by breathing around indiscriminately.”
“Would any refund on the tuition fee be necessary in case of an accident to young Cur-Hardy?”
“No,” the principal answered, judicially, “that’s all covered in the contract. But as a matter of fact he won’t be killed. Before I send him up in the hills I’m going to give him a magic word.”
“That’s a good idea,” said the Professor. “Sometimes they work wonders.”
6. What is this passage about?
The problems that may arise from fighting dragons
How the educators would change Gawaine’s course of study
The way the Professor and the Headmaster taught about dragons
Giving Gawaine a magic word to help him fight dragons

Answer:
We see that both of these books show a person or people being told that they can't do it, that they are nothing and will never be nothing. These characters are told that they can't do certain things which puts them down and possibly chips some pieces off their self esteem, but just as we see in "the right words at the right time" there will always be someone to tell yo to ignore those comments because they know that you can. You can do anything as long as you try and most importantly ignore those comments that are thrown towards you telling you the opposite. In "building Bridges" we see that it "is a call to action for Maryland's industry, education, and government to expand existing educational assets, create new assets, and simplify pathways to careers." Same thing happens. There are many people who will not want this to happen and will create obstacles to get someone away from something they are trying to accomplish. Both storylines show how no matter what obstacles come towards you there will always be a way to overcome them.
The story "Hans in Luck" by the Brothers Grimm revolves around the main character's personality. The character Hans easily believes what others tell him. That means Hans is a gullible person. Which line in this excerpt from the story supports the idea that Hans is gullible?
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. The excerpt is as follows:
Seven long years he had worked hard for his master. At last he said, "Master, my time is up; I must go home and see my poor mother once
more: so pray pay me my wages and let me go." And the master said, "You have been a faithful and good servant, Hans, so your pay shall be handsome." Then he gave him a lump of silver as big as his head.
Hans took out his pocket-handkerchief, put the piece of silver into it, threw it over his shoulder, and jogged off on his road homewards. As he went lazily on, dragging one foot after another, a man came in sight, trotting gaily along on a capital horse.
"Ahl" said Hans aloud, "what a fine thing it is to ride on horseback! There he sits as easy and happy as if he was at home, in the chair by his fireside; he trips against no stones, saves shoe-leather, and gets on he hardly knows how."
Hans did not speak so softly but the horseman heard it all, and said, "Well, friend, why do you go on foot then?"
“Ah!" said he. "I have this load to carry: to be sure it is silver, but it is so heavy that I can't hold up my head, and you must know it hurts my shoulder sadly."
"What do you say of making an exchange?" said the horseman. “I will give you my horse, and you shall give me the silver, which will save you a great deal of trouble in carrying such a heavy load about with you."
"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about with you."
However, the horseman got off, took the silver, helped Hans up, gave him the bridle into one hand and the whip into the other, and said,
"When you want to go very fast, smack your lips loudly together, and cry Jip!"
Answer:
The line that supports the idea that Hans is gullible is:
"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about with you."
Explanation:
A gullible person is someone who can be easily persuaded to believe something. In the excerpt above, we can see that Hans is a gullible man. He does not see through the man's kind words. He does not realize that the man knows very well the silver is much more valuable than the horse. Hans believes in the man's kindness and is even sorry that the man will have to carry such a heavy piece of silver with him after giving Hans his horse. The line that supports that idea is:
"With all my heart," said Hans: "but as you are so kind to me. I must tell you one thing--you will have a weary task to draw that silver about with you."
Being able to determine if something is a want or need is only the first step. How does this knowledge help you manage money? What decisions or actions need to follow this knowledge so you can wisely spend your money? (3 points)
Answer:
Being able to determine if things are wants and needs can help you manage money. If you know what you absolutely need in the moment you can save money instead of running around grabbing things you think you need. Needs are necessary, wants are desired. Being able to control your desire to buy things can help wisely spend money.

Read this sentence from “Miracle on Ice.”
As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was seeded seventh out of twelve teams.
Based on the context of this sentence, what does the word seeded mean?
A ranked
B planted
C helped
D developed
Answer:
A ranked
Explanation:
''As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was seeded seventh out of twelve teams.''
If you replace the word ''seeded'' with developed, helped, planted. It doesn't make sense.
''As the start of the Olympics, the U.S. was RANKED seventh out of twelve teams.''

Amphinomus is preparing to battle Odysseus.
Antinous is about to attack the beggar Odysseus.
Irus is challenging the beggar Odysseus to a fight.
Telemachus is challenging Antinous for throwing a stool at the beggar Odysseus.
Answer:
Is this from the odyssey?
Explanation:
Answer:
Antinous is about to attack the beggar Odysseus.
Explanation:
This statement is said by Antinous, one of the suitors who wants Penelope's hand in marriage. He is at Odysseus' house, while Odysseus is disguised as a beggar. Antinous is a mean-spirited, rude person and he tries to attack the beggar, which is what motivates him to say these words.
The Ocean
By Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Ocean has its silent caves,
Deep, quiet, and alone;
Though there be fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.
The awful spirits of the deep
Hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.
Calmly the wearied seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitudes are blest,
For there is purity.
The earth has guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.
