Explanation:
Use the excerpt from the poem "Late September" by Amy Lowell to answer the question.
Warmth of earth, and cloudless wind
Tearing off the husky rind,
Blowing feathered seeds to fall
By the sun-baked, sheltering wall.
In three to five sentences, explain how the poet uses figurative language to express meaning in this stanza.
Answer:
The best explanation of the way the poet uses figurative language to express meaning in this stanza is the use of ABAB rhyme scheme and creates an imagery of the destruction of feeble seeds blown apart by cloudless winds.
What is Figurative Language?
This refers to the use of implied meanings to show that there was an extra meaning to a word which is different from its literal meaning.
Here, we can see that the writer makes use of rhyme schemes of ABAB and also he also creates imagery by painting a mental picture of indifferent weather elements destroying seeds and laying them on sun baked walls.

It was in an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle.
Bill Corson was pitching in his buckskin jacket,
Chuck Keller, fat even as a boy, was on first,
His t-shirt riding up over his gut,
Ron O'Neill, Jim, Dennis, were talking it up
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus.
And there I was,
Just off the plane and plopped in the middle
Of Williamsport, Pa. and a neighborhood game,
Unnatural and without any moves,
My notions of baseball and America
Growing fuzzier each time I whiffed.
So it was not impossible that I,
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Would suddenly find myself in the path
Of a ball stung by Joe Barone.
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.
I fell back,
Dazed, clutching my brow,
Groaning, "Oh my shin, oh my shin,"
And everybody peeled away from me
And dropped from laughter, and there we were,
All of us writhing on the ground for one reason
Or another.
Someone said "shin" again,
There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,
A kicking of feet, and the fit
Of laughter overtook me too,
And that was important, as important
As Joe Barone asking me how I was
Through his tears, picking me up
And dusting me off with hands like swatters, And though my head felt heavy,
I played on till dusk
Missing flies and pop-ups and grounders
And calling out in desperation things like
"Yours" and "take it," but doing all right,
Tugging at my cap in just the right way,
Crouching low, my feet set,
"Hum baby" sweetly on my lips.

Read the following excerpt from the article “Icebergs,” which was posted online by the United States Coast Guard. As you read, consider how some common words used in science texts have multiple meanings.
Much has been written about bottle-green icebergs that are sometimes seen in the Antarctic. Several mechanisms have been proposed, but the most likely explanation for the green color is the freezing of organic-rich seawater to the underwater part of the ice shelf from which the iceberg calved. The green ice is exposed after an iceberg breaks free of the shelf and rolls over.
What does the word shelf mean in this excerpt?
Group of answer choices
A)part of glacial ice
B)part of an iceberg
C)a green iceberg
D)part of the ocean
Part of the ocean does the word shelf mean in this excerpt. Hence, option D is correct.
What is meant by Icebergs?The word iceberg is derived from the Dutch word ijsberg, which means "ice mountain" and is linked to the German Eisberg, the Low Saxon Iesbarg, and the Swedish isberg.
Icebergs are icebergs that have broken off from glaciers or shelf ice and are currently drifting in open water. Growlers are the colloquial term for little icebergs that only show a small portion above the surface. These icebergs have vast surfaces and can grow to heights of more than 200 feet.
According to Condron, big icebergs can be used to provide water to cities and alleviate drought conditions.
Thus, option D is correct.

Explanation:
How does Eleanor’s mother, Rebecca, feel about the likelihood that Germany will invade Poland? Use three pieces of evidence from the passage to support your answer.
Summers in Warsaw are relatively mild: a bit humid, not too warm. That summer, 1939,
Eleanor’s family had spent all of July and August visiting her grandparents, who lived on a farm
in the country. She and her older sister Mary had spent the month hiking all around their
grandparents’ property and the surrounding farms, collecting leaves and flowers to dry and
keep in their scrapbooks. Each evening, they would carefully hang the day’s treasures up on a
nail in the loft where they slept. Their grandfather helped them label the plants with a piece of
cloth that they tied to the nail. By the end of the month, they had quite a collection—the loft
was fragrant with the smell of dried flowers and grass, and the shadows of the plants were
stiff and looked like winter.
At the end of August, they packed up their big trunk in preparation for returning to the
city. Eleanor was sitting in the kitchen helping her mother and grandmother pack sandwiches
and apples for the train trip.
“Are you sure you want to go back?” Eleanor’s grandmother asked her mother.
“What else could we do?” her mother said. She shrugged. When Eleanor’s mother
shrugged like that, it meant that Eleanor’s father had probably made the decision.
“Stay here, Rebecca. Stay with the children.”
Eleanor’s mother shook her head. “Joseph has already decided,” she said. “We’re going
to wait it out.”
Eleanor’s grandmother shook her head. “This is a bad idea,” she said.
Eleanor’s mother did not respond. They finished packing the lunches in silence.
That night in bed, Eleanor couldn’t sleep. They would have to leave the farm very early
the next morning, but Eleanor’s mind was busy—as her mother would say, it was whirring and
stirring, mostly with questions. Why would it be a bad idea to go home? Why wouldn’t her
mother want to go back? Her father was there, had been working all summer in the dental
office he owned with his brother. She poked Mary to see if she was awake, but Mary just
groaned and turned over in bed.
Eleanor stared at the wooden ceiling of the loft. For some reason, she felt scared.
Maybe it was the way her grandmother’s voice sounded. Or the strange cryptic warning she
had given her mother. At eleven years old, Eleanor knew some things about the world, but not
much. She was just beginning to get a feel for the ways people spoke and the hidden messages
in their words. Either way, Eleanor was not sure she wanted the summer to end.
The next morning, Eleanor’s mother woke them up gently. It was still dark out, and
Eleanor’s grandparents were asleep. Mary carried the basket full of food, their mother carried their trunk with a sling, and Eleanor held her little brother Alfred’s hand as they walked a mile
in the woods to the train station. On the train, all three children fell asleep. Eleanor woke up at
one point to see her mother staring out the window, her arms crossed over her chest, her
eyebrows furrowed low over her eyes.
When they reached Warsaw, their father was at the train station with Uncle Abraham.
Eleanor was excited to see her father, and she ran into his arms when he held them out for a
hug. He picked her up easily, and she felt immediately safe—all of her worries and fears from
the night before melted away as he welcomed the rest of the family and they walked back to
their home.
At the house, Mary went to her room to read and Alfred took a nap. Eleanor sat on the
floor of the front room listening to the radio behind the couch as her parents talked. Eleanor
was sure they didn’t realize she was there.
“I’m worried, Joseph,” her mother said.
“I have very good sources who say that it’s going to be fine. Hitler signed a
nonaggression pact with us… He can’t flout international law and opinion so easily.”
“Look what happened to Austria last year! And Czechoslovakia. Did you not hear about
this Eichmann person in Prague? Jews had to pay damages when their homes and businesses
were vandalized! Do you not get the news in Warsaw?”
Eleanor turned the volume of the radio down and inched closer to the back of the
couch. Maybe this is what her grandmother was worried about… This Eichmann person.
“Rebecca, please be realistic and calm. Has your mother put hysterical notions in your
head?”
“This isn’t about my mother. This is about what’s happening in Poland.” Eleanor’s
mother sounded furious. She stood abruptly and left the room.
Eleanor’s father sighed and leaned back into the couch so it creaked. He looked over the
back of the couch and saw Eleanor lying on the floor.
“You little sneak,” he said, and smiled. “Don’t listen to your mother. Poland is a civilized
country, just like any other.”
Through many of the early chapters of Little Women, the March girls make reference to the allegorical Pilgrim’s Progress. Explain how one of the girls, or the family as a whole, relates to the characters and themes in Pilgrim’s Progress. Include details that indicate comparisons that Louisa May Alcott makes between Little Women and Pilgrim’s Progress.
Answer:
This book is prefaced by the novel The Pilgrim's Progress that is a symbol of how to live as a Christian. In this preface it is included the females character of the book, MERCY, no its male character, so it is a sign that this book is a guide for young girls, it is a guide to get the salvation and the self-improvement.
Alcott wants to emphasize that religion is more important that everyday details of life. The four March sisters have to follow saintly feet and have a spiritual journey through their lives, in spite their situation as "little tripping maids".
"Tell them of Mercy; she is one
Who early hath her pilgrimage begun.
Yea, let young damsels learn of her to prize
The world which is to come, and so be wise;
For little tripping maids may follow God
Along the ways which saintly feet have trod."

First Passage: The Northern Red Oak
The northern red oak is a grand-looking tree. It can grow as high as 75 feet tall. The fall season brings shorter days and cooler temperatures. Fall also brings changes to the leaves of the northern red oak. Leaves turn from green to shades of yellow, orange, and red, which is an amazing sight. It makes the northern red oak an eye-catching stand out among other trees in the oak family.
In summer, the gray rough branches of the northern red oak grow long and wide. This is the season when branches can become overly long and heavy. The weight of the branches' leaves adds even more pounds. If the growth of the tree is not managed, the entire appearance of the tree can be changed. Early trimming helps groom the tree and keeps it from looking like a rounded triangle by summer's end.
Both the size and the shape of the northern red oak's leaves are especially interesting. It is easy to find leaves that are larger than a man's hand. They often have 8 or more pointed fingers. That makes northern red oak leaves look like large, flattened evergreen trees.
Residents in the Midwest especially enjoy the beauty of their northern red oaks in October. A common sight is to see people walking or relaxing under them. They gaze up, watching the colored leaves dance in the cool fall breeze, knowing that winter will soon come to take the leaves away.
Second Passage: The Hardy Live Oak
The live oak tree is one of the toughest trees found in the United States. It is not a tall tree. It grows only 30 to 40 feet high. But its branches are broad and strong. The branches make up for the tree's rather short height. How? The branches stretch out from the trunk like thick arms on a giant. The leaves on the branches are simple. They are oval in shape. They glisten in the sun. Most importantly, live oak leaves are always there. Live oaks stay green all year round.
The live oak is also a fast growing tree. It is often planted in the lawns of new houses. This lets people living in the house have shade in just a few years. However, the owner of the tree needs to keep the lower branches trimmed. If the lower branches are not trimmed, over time the lower tree limbs will grow downward toward the ground. These branches will seem to almost slither like a snake. In time, they will be only inches above the ground. They will also spread out over the lawn for up to 25 feet from the trunk of the tree.
The live oak tree is popular for a very important reason. It can live in very hot weather. Strong sunlight does not kill it. People in the southern United States see so many live oaks that they no longer really notice them. Live oak trees just blend into the landscape. Yet, live oaks contribute to the landscape in many ways. They provide shade in the summer heat. They also provide food for many animals. Each live oak tree can produce thousands of acorns. Squirrels are just one type of animal that scurries to feast on the little brown nuts. Live oaks are certainly a treasure in hot places with harsh sunny weather.

Read the passage below. Then, answer the question that follows.
Science Mysteries: Why Do People Yawn?
Science has given humans many amazing devices and useful bits of knowledge. We know so much about our bodies and how to stay healthy, for example. We also know how to make machines and devices that make life easy for us. Scientists dedicate their lives to knowledge, but even with a lifetime commitment, sometimes scientists fail to find all the answers. One mystery that still remains unsolved is why we yawn—what makes us yawn and what purpose it serves.
Recent studies suggest that we yawn when we get tired as a way to encourage our brains. The theory is that yawning helps cool the brain, allowing it to work more efficiently. According to WebMD's article about these studies, when you yawn, your jaw muscles get stretched, increasing blood flow to your neck, face, and head. Also a deep breath during the yawn forces spinal fluid and blood down from the brain. The cool air then cools down these fluids.
Other scientists believe, however, that yawning is a form of communication. This theory attempts to explain why yawning seems to spread from person to person. This kind of behavior is called "contagious yawning" and carries with it a possible social message. Scientists are not yet sure what exactly the message is, but they believe people who have more social empathy are more likely to start yawning when they see someone else yawning.
Scientists will continue to investigate the mystery of the yawn. Is it a leftover behavior from before humans had language? Was it a "Hey, I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep" message? Or is it really just a way to keep our brains cool? While this behavior still is largely a mystery, one thing is certain: you are probably fighting the urge to yawn right about now.
Which line shows the central idea of the bolded paragraph?
People who have more social empathy are more likely to start yawning.
Scientists are not yet sure what exactly the message is.
Yawning is a form of communication.
Yawning seems to spread from person to person.

A.Teens Having Trouble Hearing Consonants
B.Hearing Loss Affects Mathew Brady's Life
C.Teens Using Music Devices in Greater Numbers
D.Hearing Loss On the Rise Among Teens
BOSTON, Massachusetts. A recent study revealed that one in five teenagers has at least some hearing loss. The rate of hearing loss among young people has grown significantly since about 1990. Now, experts are urging kids to turn down the volume on their digital music players. These experts suggest that listening to loud music through earbuds may be responsible for the increase.
For the study, researchers compared data from two nationwide health surveys of hearing loss in 12- to 19-year-olds. The first study was done between 1988 and 1994. The second was done between 2005 and 2006. In the first study, about 15 percent of teens were found to have at least some hearing loss. In the more recent study, 19.5 percent of teens had at least some hearing loss. This means that about 6.5 million young people have at least some difficulty hearing.
Most of the hearing loss in the teens was "slight." Researchers defined "slight" as an inability to hear at 16 to 24 decibels. A teen with slight hearing loss might not be able to hear sounds such as leaves rustling or someone whispering. Dr. Gary Curhan was the study's senior author. According to Curhan, people with slight hearing loss can hear vowel sounds clearly. However, they might miss sounds from some consonants, such as t, k, and s. Experts warn that this minor loss of hearing is sufficient to cause problems in school. It also sets the stage for hearing aids later in life.
"Although speech will be detectable, it might not be fully intelligible," Curhan said. Researchers lack final evidence that listening to iPods and other music devices is to blame for hearing loss in teens. However, researchers did note a significant increase in high-frequency hearing loss. This particular type of hearing loss, researchers said, indicates that noise may be to blame. Researchers cited a 2010 Australian study. The study linked the use of personal listening devices with a 70 percent increased risk of hearing loss in young people.
"I think the evidence is out there that prolonged exposure to loud noise is likely to be harmful to hearing, but that doesn't mean kids can't listen to MP3 players," Curhan said. "Our hope is we can encourage people to be careful."
Loud music isn't anything new, of course. Each recent generation of teens has found a new technology to blast music. Teens listened to bulky headphones in the 1960s and used the handheld Sony Walkmans in the 1980s. Today's teens, however, spend more time than ever listening to music. In fact, according to audiologist Brian Fligor, young people spend more than twice as much time listening to music than previous generations.
One of Fligor's patients is 17-year-old Matthew Brady of Foxborough, Massachusetts. Matthew has a mild hearing loss. He has trouble hearing his friends in the school cafeteria. He has admitted to occasionally faking comprehension. Matthew used to listen to an iPod turned up too loud and for too long. Fligor believes this caused Matthew's muffled hearing.
Matthew used to crank up the volume on his favorites—Daughtry, Bon Jovi, and U2—while walking on a treadmill. He did this at least four days a week for 30-minute stretches at a time. One day last summer, he got off the treadmill and couldn't hear anything with his left ear. His hearing gradually returned, but it was never the same.
Matthew's fondness for listening to loud music in not uncommon. During a study of college students, Fligor found that more than half of those tested listened to music at 85 decibels or louder. That's about as loud as a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner. According to Fligor, regular listening at those levels can turn microscopic hair cells in the inner ear into scar tissue. Fligor believes that some people, such as Matthew, may be more likely to experience damage than others.
These days, Matthew still listens to his digital music player. But now he listens at lower volumes.
"Do not [blast] your iPod," Matthew cautions other teens. "It's only going to hurt your hearing. I learned this the hard way."
