What is the most likely reason an author would write and essay about a little known figure who had a great impact on the history of the United States?

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.

He did not believe, he said, that any of the old suspicions still lingered, but certain changes had been made recently in the routine of the farm which should have the effect of promoting confidence still further. Hitherto the animals on the farm had had a rather foolish custom of addressing one another as "Comrade." This was to be suppressed. There had also been a very strange custom, whose origin was unknown, of marching every Sunday morning past a boar's skull which was nailed to a post in the garden. This, too, would be suppressed, and the skull had already been buried. His visitors might have observed, too, the green flag which flew from the masthead. If so, they would perhaps have noted that the white hoof and horn with which it had previously been marked had now been removed. It would be a plain green flag from now onwards.

Which statement best describes how the passage illustrates a satirical reversal?

It shows how the original principles of Animal Farm have adapted naturally with the times.
It shows how the animals have decided together that their rebellion was misguided.
It shows how angry the animals have become with the way the farm is organized.
It shows how the original principles and rituals of Animal Farm have been completely suppressed.

Read this excerpt from Leah Missbach Day’s foreword to Wheels of Change.

Freedom comes in many forms. For Mary Lewanika, a bicycle provides freedom from social oppression. A bicycle can cultivate independence. In Wheels of Change, Sue Macy quotes Ellen B.

That was true in 1896, and incredibly, it remains true in places around the world today.

Scholars have been able to piece together William Shakespeare’s likely biography from sources like official records, his will, his marriage certificate and his tombstone. Shakespeare was likely born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. He probably attended a free school, where he studied Latin plays. At 18, Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway, and they went on to have three children, one of whom died of black plague. For several years after the birth of his children, Shakespeare disappeared from all records. Scholars call these his “Lost Years.” Records then show that by 1594, Shakespeare was an established actor and writer in London with his popular company, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men. He’d hold these positions for 20 years. Shakespeare is thought to have died on April 23, 1616—his likely birthday—at age 52.

What is the main purpose of this passage?

A
to recount key events in William Shakespeare’s life

B
to provide a theory about what happened during William Shakespeare’s “Lost Years”

C
to explain where William Shakespeare got the ideas for his plays

D
to describe William Shakespeare’s work with The Lord Chamberlain’s Men

We can be more
We can be more than nice packaging on our wasted products
We can more than paper cuts and paper cups
We can be more than a pollution solution
We can be more than plastic bags, tagging flags all over our sea life population
We can more than an idea about a wasted minutia, discussing a future revolution and a future resolution confusion because evolution is just a proven illusion about how our home will soon be ruins.

But we can be more

We can more than trying to ignore the war on waste.

→He's No Beach Bum
In the 1960s, the surf culture was not just a day at the beach, it was a way of life. The Beach Boys were an influential surf rock band, filled with guitars and harmonies. Their leader, Brian Wilson, rose up as one of the most significant, original musicians and composers of 20th-century popular music. In the early 1960s, Brian formed the band the Beach Boys with his brothers Dennis and Carl, his cousin Mike Love, and their school friend, Al Jardine. He wrote many of the band's songs, launching the group into stardom and celebrating the surf culture's fascination with fun in the sun. He was responsible for such hit songs as “Help Me, Rhonda” and “Surfin' USA.” Even though he became deaf in one ear, he continued to arrange and compose most of the Beach Boys' songs, which were flooded with harmonies and interesting chord progressions that weren't normally heard in pop music. Brian Wilson was also admired by the Beatles, though he viewed that band as competition. Wilson was a perfectionist, always wanting his music to be absolutely perfect, which sometimes caused stress in the group. His desire to be perfect led him to become very depressed in the 1970s. He was able to get back up on his feet after receiving counseling, along with the love and support of family and friends. Continuing to write music, he finished projects that were left unfinished and impressed audiences yet again with his unique orchestral songs. In 1988, Brian Wilson overcame difficulties and released a solo album. He also released some music that he had once written for the Beach Boys, but that they never produced. He showed that he hadn't lost his touch as a singer and unbelievably talented songwriter.←

Which of the following best describes Brian Wilson?

A.) He was completely deaf and yet still wrote impressive, harmonious music for audiences.
B.) He was an important songwriter and musician in the band the Beatles.
C.) He was a member of the band the Beach Boys with his brothers Dennis and Carl.
D.)He was very influential in the world of pop music.
