Read the passage from "What It Takes to Prepare for the Iditarod."


In earty winter, mushers begin accumulating the food and equipment that will be shipped ahead to each checkpoint of the race. Each musher ships a total about 3,000 pounds of food and supples. All of this comes at a price. Estimates of the cost for a musher to enter a team in the Iditarod range upwards of $50,000 for a winning team. In order to pay for this, most mushers solicit sponsors. It is probably the musher's least favorite job. "You can end up feeling like you're seling your soul for money," cited one competitor.

First question: Which best describes the tone of this passage?

- The tone is frustrated, because It is very expensive to race in the Iditarod.

- The tone is disappointed, because the mushers do not always get the money they need to race in the Iditarod.

- The tone is boring, because the information is not important for racing in the Iditarod.

- The tone is encouraging, because the mushers can rely on others to pay the costs of the Iditarod.


Second question: How does the idiom selling your soul contribute to the meaning of this passage?

-It shows that the mushers don't like having to rely on sponsors so they can race in the Iditarod

-It shows how time-consuming it is for the mushers to work with sponsors when they race in the Iditarod.

-It shows that the mushers work harder on finding sponsors, than on training to race in the Iditarod.

-it shows how difficult it is for the mushers to find sponsors to cover the costs of the racing in the Iditarod

The answer choice that best describes the tone of this passage is A. The tone is frustrated because It is very expensive to race in the Iditarod.

This refers to the author's outlook in a book that shows and sets the mood of the text.

Hence, we can see that the way the idiom selling your soul contributes to the meaning of this passage is that it shows that the mushers don't like having to rely on sponsors so they can race in the Iditarod

"Consumers are fickle, so companies will go to great lengths to keep their interest and attract new customers. One example is the recent trend of “rebranding,” or corporations changing their name or look in an attempt to seem new and interesting. This is an expensive gamble. Do it right and a company gets positive buzz and a bump in the bottom line. Do it wrong, and a company becomes a laughingstock with a lot of former customers looking elsewhere.
"One example of rebranding is Dunkin’ Donuts changing its name to Dunkin’. Marketing experts think this is likely to go over well. It retains most of the familiar name, while shifting focus to the company’s most profitable product, coffee. It feels customer friendly. As the CEO says, 'Friends use first names.'
"In contrast, Weight Watchers’ decision to rename itself WW seems destined for disaster. What is WW supposed to mean, anyway? Something about wellness apparently, but it’s not very catchy and may just remind people of the World Wars. Marketers also note that WW is awkward to say out loud which will make it harder to promote."

Read these lines from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi:
This ["cub"-engineer] had money, too, and hair oil. . . . If ever a youth was cordially admired and hated by his comrades, this one was. No girl could withstand his charms. He "cut out" every boy in the village. When his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. But when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of Providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism.
What is one effect of the irony in this passage?

A.
It makes fun of the notion that the "cub"-engineer held a popular job but was popular only because of the accident.

B.
It pokes fun at the unexpected outcome of the accident: The "cub"-engineer is now even more desirable.

C.
It exaggerates the appeal of the "cub"-engineer and the effect he has on girls and boys in the village.

D.
It creates humor in that God's favor seems unpredictable and unexplainable to the young boys.

Read the excerpt from "The Lady Maid's Bell."

But that wasn't the only queer thing in the house. The very next day I found out that Mrs. Brympton had no
nurse; and then I asked Agnes about the woman I had seen in the passage the afternoon before. Agnes said
she had seen no one, and I saw that she thought I was dreaming. To be sure, it was dusk when we went down
the passage, and she had excused herself for not bringing a light; but I had seen the woman plain enough to
know her again if we should meet. I decided that she must have been a friend of the cook's, or of one of the
other women servants: perhaps she had come down from town for a night's visit, and the servants wanted it
kept secret. Some ladies are very stiff about having their servants' friends in the house overnight. At any rate,
I made up my mind to ask no more questions.

How does this excerpt support the idea that the story is told by an unreliable narrator?

A. The narrator tries to justify having seen a woman.
B. The narrator does not trust what Agnes tells her.
C. The narrator wants to meet the servants' visiting friends.
D. The narrator wants to know who Mrs. Brympton's nurse is.
