Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay

Read the following passage from Bulfinch’s Mythology: In cultured garden, free uncultured flows, The flavor sweeter and the hue more fair Than e'er was fostered by the hand of care.

The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe
#5 Why is flung a more effective word for the author to use than open? Select two options.
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Passage:

Sometimes factors that are outside of our control can shape our experiences for better or for worse. Think about your favorite and least favorite subjects in school this year. Then consider your personal opinion of everything about each of those two classes except the material you're learning: the teacher, the textbooks, the classroom, the time of day, the person you sit next to, etc. Write an essay that weighs these factors against one another and that comes to a conclusion about how much these factors influence your strong positive and negative feelings about these two school subjects.

Read this excerpt from "Mars: Landscape of the Red Planet."

In addition to its volcanic landscape, Mars also has an amazing system of canyons known as the Valles Marineris. Scientist have ruled out water as the reason for the formation of these canyons. Instead, they theorize that the canyons were formed from the splitting of the Martian crust due to the cooling of the planet. Valles Marineris runs 2,500 miles long at a depth of 4 miles, dwarfing the Grand Canyon back on Earth, which is only 500 miles long and 1 mile deep.

Canyons on Mars appear to have been formed by the splitting of the Martian crust. However, canyons on Earth were most likely formed by

the impact of asteroids causing damage to the surface.
water flowing through rivers over long periods of time.
earthquakes causing parts of Earth’s crust to rise up.
the rising of hot magma from deep inside Earth’s core.

Read the excerpt from "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" by Patrick Henry.

Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain.

How does Henry’s use of the words "bind” and "chains” support his purpose in this excerpt?

They emphasize that the colonists feel like they are imprisoned under British rule.
They explain why the British are planning to go to war with the colonists.
They show that the colonists have been negotiating with the British for a long time.
They reveal that the colonists are unwilling to compromise with the British.

Supporting Biliteracy
There are many good reasons to learn a second language. A second language can improve your understanding of your native language, open the door to new job opportunities, and help you learn about other cultures. Yet American students are less likely than European students to study foreign languages in school. To address this gap, several states have begun doing more to encourage biliteracy—the ability to read and write in two languages. California, New York, and Illinois are among the states that have passed laws establishing a state "Seal of Biliteracy." A Seal of Biliteracy shows that a student has achieved proficiency in a second language. Supporters of the seals say that they honor the importance of second-language learning. The seals also provide colleges and future employers with evidence of students' abilities.

What is the main idea of the passage?

Although second-language learning is important, students in the United States are less likely than those in Europe to learn a second language.

Fewer American students than European students learn a second language, so some states are promoting the study of foreign languages.

But no one can ignore the damage being wrought by all this bad eating. More than one out of three adults in the United States -- 37.5 percent -- are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some of the leading causes of death -- heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes -- are directly linked to obesity. And childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years. With more than a third of kids between 6 and 19 considered obese, the CDC reports, they are at substantially more risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone and joint conditions, and cancer.

Which statement best describes the author's argument in this part of the article?

Eating a poor diet can have harmful effects on people's health.
Eating healthier foods is not as easy as some might think.
Children should be required to maintain a healthy diet.
Eating habits have changed significantly in recent years.

Identify main idea of each paragraph of Gilrays Flower Pot
I charge Gilray's unreasonableness to his ignoble1
passion for cigarettes; and the story of his flower-pot
has therefore an obvious moral. The want of dignity he
displayed about that flower-pot, on his return to
London, would have made any one sorry for him. I had
my own work to look after, and really could not be
tending his chrysanthemum2 all day. After he came
back, however, there was no reasoning with him, and I
admit that I never did water his plant, though always
intending to do so.

The great mistake was in not leaving the flower-pot in
charge of William John. No doubt I readily promised to
attend to it, but Gilray deceived me by speaking as if
the watering of a plant was the merest pastime. He had
to leave London for a short provincial tour, and, as I
see now, took advantage of my good nature.

As Gilray had owned his flower-pot for several
months, during which time (I take him at his word) he
had watered it daily, he must have known he was
misleading me. He said that you got into the way of
watering a flower-pot regularly just as you wind up
your watch. That certainly is not the case. I always
wind up my watch, and I never watered the flower-pot.
Of course, if I had been living in Gilray's rooms with
the thing always before my eyes I might have done so.
I proposed to take it into my chambers at the time, but
he would not hear of that. Why? How Gilray came by
this chrysanthemum I do not inquire; but whether, in
the circumstances, he should not have made a clean
breast of it to me is another matter. Undoubtedly it was
an unusual thing to put a man to the trouble of watering
a chrysanthemum daily without giving him its history.
My own belief has always been that he got it in
exchange for a pair of boots and his old dressing-gown.
He hints that it was a present; but, as one who knows
him well, I may say that he is the last person a lady
would be likely to give a chrysanthemum to. Besides, if
he was so proud of the plant he should have stayed at
home and watered it himself.

He says that I never meant to water it, which is not
only a mistake, but unkind. My plan was to run
downstairs immediately after dinner every evening and
give it a thorough watering. One thing or another,
however, came in the way. I often remembered about
the chrysanthemum while I was in the office; but even
Gilray could hardly have expected me to ask leave of
absence merely to run home and water his plant. You
must draw the line somewhere, even in a government
office.
