Which sentence best demonstrates the use of a logical appeal in the excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's "First Inaugural Address"?
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money, it lies in the joy of achievement in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral
stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days will be worth all they cost us if they
teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered unto but to minister to ourselves and to our fellow men.
Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of the false belief that public
office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profit. And there must be an end to a
conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing. Small wonder that
confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection, on unselfish
performance; without them it cannot live. Restoration calls, however, not for changes in ethics alone. This Nation asks for action, and action now.
Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be
accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same
time, through this employment, accomplishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our natural resources.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!”
He took his vorpal sword in hand;
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
He chortled in his joy.
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Select the correct answer.

Michael is researching how small businesses help create jobs. He found the following study published by the Small Business Administration (SBA) in 2010.

Most small firms start small, stay small, and close just a few years after opening. This typical life cycle is often used as evidence that small firms do not have a significant impact on employment. However, the Census Bureau’s Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS) show that firms created 70.5 million jobs in their first year of existence between 1977 and 2000; 57 million jobs remained by the time those firms reached their fifth birthday.

Michael wants to use exact words from this study in his writing. In which option can Michael use the exact words from the study, but also avoid plagiarism?

A.
Small business firms can create employment, as the Census Bureau’s Business Dynamics Statistics show that firms created 70.5 million jobs in their first year of existence between 1977 and 2000, and by the time the firms were five years old they still retained 57 million jobs.
B.
Evidence shows that, despite the belief that small business firms have short life spans, they can have a significant impact on employment with the Census Bureau’s statistics showing that between 1977 and 2000, small firms created 70.5 million jobs in their first year of existence.
C.
Despite having short life spans, small business firms create and sustain employment. A study by the Census Bureau’s Business Dynamics Statistics states that small firms “created 70.5 million jobs in their first year of existence between 1977 and 2000; 57 million jobs remained by the time those firms reached their fifth birthday. ” (p.7).
D.
“The typical life cycle of small firms promotes the idea that they close a few years after opening, but evidence gathered by the Census Bureau’s Business Dynamics Statistics (BDS) shows that firms created 70.5 million jobs in their first year of existence between 1977 and 2000, with 57 million jobs still in existence by the time the firms reached their fifth birthday. ”

Excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass

1 I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember to have ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvest time, cherry-time, spring-time, or fall-time. A want of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages. I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquiries of my master concerning it. He deemed all such inquiries on the part of a slave improper and impertinent, and evidence of a restless spirit. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old.

Excerpt from Building Green
Elizabeth Kibler



Reducing the amount of fresh water used in building is another green trend. Some green buildings reduce the amount of water they use by installing gray water systems. Gray water is the term used to describe any waste water not from a toilet. This water is treated and used most often for irrigation. Gray water systems let people use less fresh water and keep waste water from taxing water treatment centers.

Not only can green buildings reuse water, they can also reduce the amount of water they need. Low-flow toilets, sinks, and shower heads that use less water can save millions of gallons of water from being wasted every year. Also, some buildings and developments are reducing the amount of fresh water they use with xeriscaping methods. Xeriscaping, which is a form of landscaping, uses plants that require very little water.
If xer- means dry and -scape is related to landscape, which of these words means a type of landscaping that uses plants that require less water?
A) cityscape
B) xenograft
C) xeriscape
D) xenophobia
