Read the poem "Not Waving but Drowning” by Stevie Smith.
Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he’s dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

How does the phrase "much too far out all my life” in the last stanza add a layer of meaning to the poem?

It compares the drowning man’s inescapable fate to the speaker’s feeling of isolation.
It refers to both the speaker’s position on the shore and the drowning man’s death.
It contrasts the drowning man’s increasing hopelessness and the speaker’s determination.
It refers to both the speaker’s inability to help and the drowning man’s position in the water.

Which two details in the passage support the idea that Darcy is also prejudiced against Elizabeth?

from Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen

In this scene, Elizabeth has rejected Darcy’s proposal of marriage has given her opinion of him, and the following is his response to her.

"And this," cried Darcy, as he walked with quick steps across the room, "is your opinion of me! This is the estimation in which you hold me! I thank you for explaining it so fully. My faults, according to this calculation, are heavy indeed! But perhaps," added he, stopping in his walk, and turning towards her, "these offences might have been overlooked, had not your pride been hurt by my honest confession of the scruples that had long prevented my forming any serious design. These bitter accusations might have been suppressed, had I with greater policy concealed my struggles, and flattered you into the belief of my being impelled by unqualified, unalloyed inclination; by reason, by reflection, by every thing. But disguise of every sort is my abhorrence. Nor am I ashamed of the feelings I related. They were natural and just. Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your connections? To congratulate myself on the hope of relations, whose condition in life is so decidedly beneath my own?"

Select the correct text in the passage.
Which sentence from the passage best reflects the author’s claim?
Adopt a Pet

Owning a Pet
Pets are loyal companions and can benefit their owners in a number of ways. Apart from being a companion and playmate, a pet brings joy and relaxation to its owner. Hillary Johnson, a renowned psychologist, in her article "A Pet is the Best Medicine," states that a pet can benefit its owner both emotionally and psychologically. She says that pets have the ability to reduce anxiety and contribute to the overall well-being of their owners.
Animal Shelters and Rescue Organizations
In the United States, thousands of animals, especially dogs and cats, end up in animal shelters every year, and the numbers are increasing every day, because most people prefer buying pets from breeders to adopting from shelters or rescue organizations. Animal shelters are full of pets who are either lost or have been abandoned by their owners. Even though shelters and rescue organizations provide care for animals, the animals crave love and are in desperate need of a home and a family.
Adopting Pets Saves Money and Time
Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is cheaper, or sometimes free, as opposed to buying one from a pet shop. Most animal shelters contain pets that have already been vaccinated and house trained. Pets that have lost their homes in the past are usually aware of the basic commands and do not require extensive training. Moreover, there are organizations like the Shelter Pet Project that focuses mainly on promoting animal adoption and provides pets of various breeds. This gives a person the liberty to adopt a pet of any age, color, or breed.
Supporting Nonprofit Organizations
Many rescue groups and animal shelters are nonprofit organizations. Adopting a pet from such an organization means supporting a good cause. Adopting a pet would create space for other animals that need shelter, and the money that the organizations receive from adoptions could be utilized in taking good care of the animals that are kept in shelters.
Adopting Brings Happiness
Adopting a pet means helping an animal that is in desperate need of a home. The pride and joy that a person gets from adopting a pet is one of a kind. All animals require love and care, and adopted pets are no different. Adopting a pet means saving an animal and gaining a friend.

Which detail best shows how the historical setting influences the narrator’s preparations for the day? "They said it couldn't be done, but they did it," Papa kept repeating, almost like he half believed it himself. We had been hearing about the building of the Great East River Bridge for years, with its deals gone bad, workers with illnesses, and defiance of something called physics. We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother had polished twice. Soon we were out the door as a family, going to walk on a bridge taller than the entire city. There were so many people, but we were determined. Our modest Brooklyn family was going to walk high up in the air on the miracle of a bridge to Manhattan. The sunshine warmed my shoulders as we joined the masses of people walking toward the river. I stretched onto my tiptoes to see the swarm of boats gathering underneath the bridge up ahead. I gasped quietly when I saw the enormous expansion before me. “There it is!” I exclaimed. “Yes, there’s the Great East River Bridge,” Papa said looking down at me.

All of us, our family and the Chinese guests, stopped eating to watch the activities of the Gleasons. I wanted to giggle. Then I caught my mother’s eyes on me.
