Passage:
In order to address the growing issue of medical absences in the sixth grade at Grover Middle School, I recommend a two-part plan. First, we should hire a professional deep-cleaning service to scrub down the sixth-grade classrooms. Then, we should have an assembly for the sixth graders where the school nurse talks about basic strategies for not spreading germs. I know these are drastic measures, but the numbers don't lie, and the sooner we put this plan into action, the sooner we'll finally have sixth-grade classrooms full of healthy kids ready to learn.

Read the following excerpt from a speech about preserving historic buildings. Then, answer the question that follows.

Steeple Lofts, an apartment building, was originally a church built in 1868, and was once the tallest structure in South Philadelphia, a landmark to ships on the Delaware River. It has now been made into fancy apartments, preserving the original details of the building. If the church had been torn down instead, it would have ruined the entire neighborhood and led to all other historic buildings being torn down. That's why it's important to preserve historic buildings.

Which type of figurative language is used as a rhetorical device in the bolded passage?

Allusion, because the Steeple Lofts apartment building is located near a river
Hyperbole, because failing to preserve the building would not literally ruin the entire neighborhood
Metaphor, because apartments are being compared to ships on the Delaware River
Personification, because the ships are described as having emotions and opinions

What is the verb in the sentence. Medicine Hat is the name of a town in Canada.

Read the excerpt from “Harriet Tubman: A Life of Toil and Triumph.”

After Harriet journeyed to the safety of Philadelphia, she met with members of the Anti-Slavery Society. She wanted to learn more about the special railroad that had helped her become free, and then she wanted to help. Without taking any time to enjoy her newfound freedom, she signed on as a conductor. Soon she was headed back to Maryland to guide others safely north.

Then in 1850, the United States passed the Fugitive Slave Act. This forced citizens of the Northern states to return escaped enslaved persons to the South. Remarkably, Harriet did not become discouraged. Instead, she conducted her passengers all the way to Canada—a trip of an extra three hundred miles! In all, she made that trip nineteen times, freeing her family and three hundred additional enslaved persons in the process.

What inference can be made about Harriet Tubman’s character?

She was tireless in bringing others to freedom.
She felt entitled to freedom and an easy life.
She was too busy to enjoy her new freedom.
She worked as a conductor to free her family.

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered 'Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow, he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, 'Nevermore.'

excerpt from a Native American folktale:

When Raven saw the Sun, Moon and stars, and freshwater hanging on the sides of Eagle's lodge, he knew what he should do. He watched for his chance to seize them when no one was looking. He stole all of them, and a brand of fire also, and flew out of the longhouse through the smoke hole. As soon as Raven got outside he hung the Sun up in the sky. It made so much light that he was able to fly far out to an island in the middle of the ocean. When the Sun set, he fastened the Moon up in the sky and hung the stars around in different places.

This war was fought between America and Great Britain which started in the year 1812. It was in this war, that the American expansionist attempts to the north would be halted. The war was a huge loss to the American Indians who sought to fight and keep them on their land but would loose and their land was taken (Housman, Reginald). It is ironic, however, that this war ended in a stalemate having not benefited the parties that were taking in it. America did not occupy Canada as it hoped and neither did Great Britain, the colonial master of Canada acquire America.

Before the war of 1812, the British were engaged in the Napoleonic war against Napoleon of France in the Napoleonic wars. America sought to be neutral on the issue and its involvement at the time became only through trade. The British, however, instituted blockades and trade restrictions preventing American sailors from trading with the enemies of British i.e. French. This was an unfair move and was deemed to be an attack on the sovereignty of America and international laws(Reginald, 2017). The British would also force the American ships to first dock in the British ports and get a license before trading with any European nation. They made the American sailors join the British army, a move met with a lot of criticism and protest by the Americans against the British. The British were impressing the sailors were looking for British nationals who were avoiding the army by boarding American ships.

The War of 1812 pitted the young United States in a war against Great Britain, from whom the American colonies had won their independence in 1783. Press gangs, though ostensibly targeting British subjects for naval service, also swept up 6,000 to 9,000 Americans into the crews of British ships between 1803 and 1812. Andrew Jackson defeats the Creek Indians in the battle of Horseshoe Bend (Mississippi Territory). The British plan a three-part invasion of US: Chesapeake Bay, Lake Champlain, & the mouth of Mississippi River. The British are turned back at Baltimore harbor. The British burn the White House in Washington, D.C. War of 1812, (June 18, 1812–February 17, 1815), conflict fought between the United States and Great Britain over British violations of U.S. maritime rights. It ended with the exchange of ratifications of the Treaty of Ghent. Causes of the War of 1812 Maritime Issues. Impressment was the most volatile issue between the United States and Britain. Expansionism. The division of land after the Revolution did not leave everyone satisfied.

Political. Who won War of 1812? British ,The British won, despite what Americans may think. The British kept Canada, as well as the maritime policies that Americans say were the reason for the war. Why was the war of 1812 significant to the United States? Although often treated as a minor footnote to the bloody European war between France and Britain, the War of 1812 was crucial for the United States. Second, the war allowed the United States to rewrite its boundaries with Spain and solidify control over the lower Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico.

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

HERE IS THE WHATS FOR LUNCH ARTICLE

What’s for Lunch?
Marcia Amidon Lusted

Zachary Maxwell was tired of trying to explain to his parents why he wanted to bring lunch to school instead of eating hot lunch. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to eat the gourmet food described on the school’s online menu, which sounded both nutritious and interesting. Zachary just couldn’t convince them that the food wasn’t as great as it sounded. So in the fall of 2011, he began sneaking a small video camera into the cafeteria at his school, to show his parents what the lunches were really like. Six months and 75 school lunches later, Zachary made a documentary film about his lunch called Yuck: A 4th Grader’s Short Documentary About School Lunch.

Truth in Advertising?
"The city’s Department of Education says that it’s committed to providing ‘delicious and nutritious meals’ through their food service program. But the lunch being served at my school was nothing like what they were advertising on their web site," Zachary, now 11, says in the documentary’s trailer. "I told [my parents] that’s not what they were actually serving me," he said. "But I don’t think they believed me." For example, an "oven-baked pizza bagel with tricolor salad" was really nothing more than a slice of pizza and a wisp of lettuce. Sometimes there was no connection between the menu and what Zachary actually got. "Cheesy lasagna rolls with tomato basil sauce, roasted spinach with garlic and herbs" was, in reality, just a plastic-wrapped grilled cheese sandwich, all alone on a foam plate.
"When I came back home and showed them the footage, they were like, ugh!" Zachary said. His dad, an amateur filmmaker, started helping Zachary transform his video footage into a film. It won several awards, and Zachary also made appearances on television shows like Good Morning America.

Not Perfect, But Better
Let’s face it: many times school lunches just aren’t going to taste as good as they sound. Students also complain that with lunches that follow the new school lunch guidelines, there just isn’t enough food. Smaller portions, more fruits and veggies, and fewer calories leave some kids, especially teenagers, still hungry after eating their lunch. A group of students in Kansas even wrote a music video called "We Are Hungry," where they sing about their stomachs growling after lunch and how they’re collapsing on the sports field because they haven’t eaten enough.
However, the new federal lunch guidelines do mandate meals that are better for students, with less sodium, more whole grains, fewer calories, and more fruits and vegetables, as well as skim or 1 percent milk. These are a definite improvement over school lunches of not that many years ago, which once stuck with fare like burgers, French fries, and chicken nuggets. Some schools even allowed fast food outlets like McDonald’s and Pizza Hut to operate mini-restaurants in their cafeterias, or supply their products for students. Many schools have also reconsidered vending machines filled with sugary sodas, candy, and chips, replacing them with water and healthy snacks.

The Lunch Forecast
The new school lunches are designed to help students eat better, and combat health problems like obesity in kids. Ideally, a healthy school lunch should also taste good ... or at least as good as the description on the menu. It should also keep students from taking a trip to the vending machine or a nearby convenience store as soon as lunch is over, because they’re still hungry. But will the lunches served in your cafeteria ever taste as good as a fast food burger or a gourmet meal cooked at home? You be the judge.

Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888 by Ernest Lawrence Thayer Poetry, 1888

Introduction

Ernest Thayer (1863–1940) was an American poet who published the poem “Casey at the Bat” in The San Francisco Examiner under the pseudonym “Phin.” The poem’s anonymity and association with DeWolf Hopper, who recited it 10,000 times on the vaudeville stage, led to many false claims about its authorship, and only reluctantly did Thayer eventually step forward to claim the poem as his own. By then, it had become firmly imprinted on the American imagination as the quintessential baseball poem, full of hope, drama, bravado, defeat, and humor. Though some readers may be unfamiliar with at bats and innings, everyone can relate to the final sentiment: “there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.”
