Read the following sentence and summarize the descriptive words in sequence.
On the third finger of my left hand is the pre-engagement ring given to me last year by my sister Doris. The 14-carat gold band, a bit tarnished by time and neglect, circles my finger and twists together at the top to encase a small white diamond. The diamond itself is tiny and dull, like a sliver of glass found on the kitchen floor after a dishwashing accident. The ring is neither very attractive nor valuable, but I treasure it as a gift from my older sister, a gift that I will pass along to my younger sister when I receive my own engagement ring this Christmas.

The main goal of Junior Achievement is to...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.

—“The Man in the Arena,”
Theodore Roosevelt

Read this excerpt from “Drummer Man.” It turned out to be a good thing that I signed on again. It wasn’t long into my second year when our regiment fought at the Siege of Corinth. In the heat of the fight we made a desperate charge across a ravine and Captain Williamson was wounded. So the call came in for a quick retreat, but unfortunately the captain was left there between the lines. Somebody had to rescue him, and it was one of two times during the war that I was happy for being small. I took off in a stooping run, unseen by the enemy, and somehow found the strength to drag Williamson back to the stretcher bearers and out of harm’s way. The second time I was glad for my slight height occurred when I was caught behind the enemy lines. All I can guess is that those rebels who surrounded me mistook me for a child. They took their guns down from their shoulders, looked me in the eye, and told me to run on out of there as fast as I could. Indeed I did without so much as one glance back. Which line best illustrates the narrator’s bravery? Indeed I did without so much as one glance back. It turned out to be a good thing that I signed on again. [A]nd somehow found the strength to drag Williamson back . . . It wasn’t long into my second year when our regiment fought . . .

Which Details from "Baucis and Philemon" best develops the theme "What goes around comes around"?

Paragraph 2: Until 1828, few people knew how to ignite anthracite and use it for fuel. That was because anthracite was so compact that no ordinary flame could make it burn. Then, a Scotsman named James Neilson invented the hot blast furnace. The air produced in the first chamber of the furnace was blown over anthracite located in the second chamber. That hot air caused the surface of the anthracite to ignite. Because anthracite was so dense, it could produce enough heat to melt iron ore. It was also plentiful, and a little went a long way, which lowered the cost of iron production. Once the hot blast technique was perfected, anthracite was in demand all over the world. In the United States, anthracite was found exclusively in Pennsylvania. As a result, Pennsylvania's mining industry boomed during the nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, when newer fuels replaced anthracite, the black gold rush ended and most anthracite mines were abandoned.

According to the information in paragraph 2, why is anthracite able to produce a significant amount of heat?
A. because it is easily ignited

B. because it is dense and compact

C. because it is a plentiful type of coal

D. because it is a cheap source of energy

On page 65, Salva stated that he felt like Marial and Uncle left him something to help him in his journey. Explain.

Read the excerpt below and then answer the question that follows:



It all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot spark—only it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and cried—not real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mind—and then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.

When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was natural—rather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.

Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes.

"Oh, yes—it's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."

Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"

The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscope—then he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye.

"Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes."

"You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."

The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.

But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"

The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.

"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."

It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.

So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.

And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.

"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."

And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.
