ead the excerpt from "The Willow-Wren and the Bear.”

When the time came for the war to begin, the willow-wren sent out spies to discover who was the enemy's commander-in-chief. The gnat, who was the most crafty, flew into the forest where the enemy was assembled, and hid herself beneath a leaf of the tree where the password was to be announced. There stood the bear, and he called the fox before him and said: 'Fox, you are the most cunning of all animals, you shall be general and lead us.' 'Good,' said the fox, 'but what signal shall we agree upon?' No one knew that, so the fox said: 'I have a fine long bushy tail, which almost looks like a plume of red feathers. When I lift my tail up quite high, all is going well, and you must charge; but if I let it hang down, run away as fast as you can.' When the gnat had heard that, she flew away again, and revealed everything, down to the minutest detail, to the willow-wren. When day broke, and the battle was to begin, all the four-footed animals came running up with such a noise that the earth trembled. The willow-wren with his army also came flying through the air with such a humming, and whirring, and swarming that every one was uneasy and afraid, and on both sides they advanced against each other. But the willow-wren sent down the hornet, with orders to settle beneath the fox's tail, and sting with all his might. When the fox felt the first string, he started so that he lifted one leg, from pain, but he bore it, and still kept his tail high in the air; at the second sting, he was forced to put it down for a moment; at the third, he could hold out no longer, screamed, and put his tail between his legs. When the animals saw that, they thought all was lost, and began to flee, each into his hole, and the birds had won the battle.

Which evidence best supports the conclusion that this story was written for children?

The story is set in a forest.
The battle was won by a trick.

Read the following selection from Act III of Romeo and Juliet. What conflict does the line in caps most closely represent?

JULIET
Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband?
Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name,
When I, thy three-hours wife, have mangled it?
But, wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin?
That villain cousin would have kill'd my husband:
Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring;
Your tributary drops belong to woe,
Which you, mistaking, offer up to joy.
My husband lives, that Tybalt would have slain;
And Ty dead, that would have slain my husband:
ALL THIS IS COMFORT; WHEREFORE WEEP I THEN?
Some word there was, worser than Tybalt's death,
That murder'd me: I would forget it fain;
But, O, it presses to my memory,
Like guilty deeds to sinners' minds:
'Tybalt is d3ad, and Romeo—banished;'
That 'banished,' that one word 'banished,'
Hath slain ten thousand Tybalts. Tybalt's d3ath
Was woe enough, if it had ended there:
Or, if sour woe delights in fellowship
And needly will be rank'd with other griefs,
Why follow'd not, when she said 'Tybalt's dead,'
Thy father, or thy mother, nay, or both,
Which modern lamentations might have moved?
But with a rear-ward following Tybalt's d3ath,
'Romeo is banished,' to speak that word,
Is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet,
All slain, all dea'Romeo is banished!'
There is no end, no limit, measure, bound,
In that word's d3ath; no words can that woe sound.
Where is my father, and my mother, nurse?

Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of Julius Caesar.

[BRUTUS.] Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar,
I have not known when his affections swayed
More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend. So Caesar may.
Then lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel
Will bear no colour for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
Would run to these and these extremities;
And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg
Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous,
And kill him in the shell.

Which quotations support the central idea that Brutus thinks Caesar is dangerous and needs to be killed before he becomes even more dangerous? Select three options.

“Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented, / Would run to these and these extremities;”
“But 'tis a common proof / That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder”
“Th’ abuse of greatness is when it disjoins / Remorse from power.”
“And since the quarrel / Will bear no colour for the thing he is”
“And therefore think him as a serpent’s egg / Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous, / And kill him in the shell.”

Read the excerpt from Jahiem’s argumentative essay.

It is imperative that elementary school students have their nap times revoked. Children under ten do not have enough responsibility to require an established rest time. In contrast, teenagers participate in extracurricular activities that require their full focus and energy. Sure, both ages are growing rapidly, but which group really needs more sleep? High schools should implement built-in rest time for teenagers to ensure that they are successful in their endeavors. Schools must choose between having rested children or rested teenagers.

Which reason does Jahiem give for presenting the false dilemma in the excerpt?

Children under ten have less stressful responsibilities than teenagers.
Elementary schools should stop giving younger children naptime.
Teenagers have activities that require focus and energy.
Elementary school children are not growing like teenagers.
