Which reason would best refute the counterclaim? Only die-hard fans and the uninformed would argue that Bob Dylan's lyrics are literature. It is impossible to separate song lyrics from the music that accompanies them. Song lyrics are no better than childish nonsense without the music that accompanies them. Dylan has written many enduring songs and received many awards for his musical achievements.

Lea's Load
by B. K. McSwain

"Lea! Did you eat the last apple I was going to use to make us a pie? Don't you know there's a war going on?" her mother shouted out the window.
Lea, sitting below on the apartment stoop, tossed an apple core into the bushes; yes, she knew there was a war going on. Ever since that German guy decided to invade Poland, there had been a war going on turning her life in Rome, Italy, inside out and upside down until she couldn't even eat an apple in peace. Lea grabbed the bucket and trudged to the custodian's closet for a mop with little consolation that her work efforts helped pay the rent while papa was away in the war. Fear inched up her spine as she opened the door to the dark, dank, and dusty closet. She steeled herself to run in and run out when a movement in the corner caught her attention.
Sunlight streamed in, shining a beacon on blonde hair that stuck up like thatch from a young man's head as he crouched, clothed in a tattered German uniform, with his arms wrapped around his knees, shaking and muttering.

from "Was it a Dream?"
by Guy de Maupassant

On turning round I saw that all the graves were open, that all the dead bodies had emerged from them, and that all had effaced the lies inscribed—engraved or written on the gravestones by their relations, substituting the truth instead.

And I saw that all had been the tormentors of their neighbors—malicious, dishonest, hypocrites, liars, rogues, calumniators, envious; that they had stolen, deceived, performed every disgraceful, every abominable action, these good fathers, these faithful wives, these devoted sons, these chaste daughters, these honest tradesmen, these men and women who were called irreproachable. They were all writing at the same time, on the threshold of their eternal abode, the truth, the terrible and the holy truth of which everybody was ignorant, or pretended to be ignorant, while they were alive.

I thought that SHE also must have written something on her tombstone, and now running without any fear among the half-open coffins, among the corpses and skeletons, I went toward her, sure that I should find her immediately. I recognized her at once, without seeing her face, which was covered by the winding-sheet, and on the marble cross, where shortly before I had read:

"She loved, was loved, and died."

I now saw:

"Having gone out in the rain one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold and died."

* * * * * * *

It appears that they found me at daybreak, lying on the grave unconscious.

Read this passage from the Gettysburg Address. What does Lincoln mean by the phrase unfinished work?

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

A. The dead soldiers had not completed their missions in an honorable way.

B. The citizens of America will never be free from slavery.

C. The dead soldiers did not live to see the outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg.

D. The task of preserving the Union has not yet been accomplished.

What are some effects of the holocaust? She walked along the river until a policeman stopped her. It was one o'clock, he said. Not the best time to be walking alone by the side of a half-frozen river. He smiled at her, then offered to walk her home. It was the first day of the new year, 1946, eight and a half months after the British tanks had rumbled into Bergen-Belsen.

That February, my mother turned twenty-six. It was difficult for strangers to believe that she had ever been a concentration camp inmate. Her face was smooth and round. She wore lipstick and applied mascara to her large dark eyes. She dressed fashionably. But when she looked into the mirror in the mornings before leaving for work, my mother saw a shell, a mannequin who moved and spoke but who bore only a superficial resemblance to her real self. The people closest to her had vanished. She had no proof that they were truly dead. No eyewitnesses had survived to vouch for her husband's death. There was no one living to see her parents die. The lack of confirmation haunted her. At night before she went to sleep and during the day as she stood pinning dresses she wondered if, by some chance, her parents had gotten past the Germans or had crawled out of the mass grave into which they had been shot and were living, old and helpless, somewhere in Poland. What if only one of them had died? What if they had survived and had died of cold or hunger after she had been liberated, while she was in Celle dancing with British officers?

She did not talk to anyone about these things. No one, she thought, wanted to hear them. She woke up in the mornings, went to work, bought groceries, went to the Jewish Community Center and to the housing office like a robot.

Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:


(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.


Now we are engaged in a great civil war … testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated … can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.


(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate … we cannot consecrate … we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

Bold: it can never forget what they did here.

What does President Lincoln clearly state by the line in bold?


The world will never think about what happened.

The world will always remember what happened.

The world will always ignore what happened.

The world will likely reject what happened.

Which sentence slows down the pace to create mystery in the passage?
(6) Usually, at the beginning of school, there was a great uproar which could be heard in tthe street, desks opening and
closing, lessons repeated aloud in unison, with our ears stuffed in order to learn quicker, and the teacher's stout [shout]:
(7) "A little more quiet!"
(8) I counted on all this noise to reach my bench unnoticed, but as it happened, that day everything was quiet, like a Sunday
morning. Through the open window I saw my comrades already in their places, and Monsieur Hamel walking back and
forth.... I had to open the door and enter, in the midst of that perfect silence. You can imagine whether I blushed and
whether I was afraid!
(9) But no! Monsieur Hamel looked at me with no sign of anger and said very gently:
(10) "Go at once to your seat, my little Frantz; we were going to begin without you."
(11) I stepped over the bench and sat down at once at my desk. Not until then, when I had partly recovered from my fright.
did I notice that our teacher had on his handsome blue coat, his plaited ruff, and the black embroidered breeches, which
he wore on days of inspection or of distribution of prizes. Moreover, there was something extraordinary, something solemn
about the whole class

Read the following paragraph from Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience and then answer the question that follows:

I HEARTILY ACCEPT the motto,—"That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe,—"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perve rted before the people can act through it. Witness the present Mexican war, the work of comparatively a few individuals using the standing government as their tool; for, in the outset, the people would not have consented to this measure.


What meaning does the author's diction provide in the line in bold?

Government is a practical necessity.
Many governments are impractical.
Governments are supposed to be large.
Some governments are perfect systems.

What is the most likely subtext of the reading?

O The detective thinks Ms. Wickham is lying and is giving her a chance to change her story.
O The detective needs new glasses and is checking to make sure he read the statement correctly.
