"A twenty-two," [Rainsford] remarked. "That's odd. It must have been a fairly large animal too. The hunter had his nerve with him to tackle it with a light gun. It's clear that the brute put up a fight. I suppose the first three shots I heard was when the hunter flushed his quarry and wounded it. The last shot was when he trailed it here and finished it."

He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find – the print of hunting boots. They pointed along the cliff in the direction he had been going. Eagerly he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose stone, but making headway; night was beginning to settle down on the island.

—"The Most Dangerous Game,"
Richard Connell

Read this excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass:

She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these excellent qualities, and her home of its early happiness. Conscience cannot stand much violence. Once thoroughly broken down, who is he that can repair the damage? It may be broken toward the slave, on Sunday, and toward the master on Monday. It cannot endure such shocks. It must stand entire, or it does not stand at all. If my condition waxed bad, that of the family waxed not better. The first step, in the wrong direction, was the violence done to nature and to conscience, in arresting the benevolence that would have enlightened my young mind.

Which of the following sentences best describes Douglass’s opinion about slavery?

A.
Slavery relies on the conscience to maintain itself.
B.
Slavery impacts only those that demonstrate little generosity toward others.
C.
Slavery is a degrading institution to all those involved.
D.
Slavery impacts people’s views of charity more than anything else.

[The exhilaration] was usually followed by more of the same hot walking, with the mud sucking at our boots and the sun thudding against our helmets while an invisible enemy shot at us from distant tree lines. . . .

What strategy does the author of the essay "Reading Shakespeare" suggest will help you understand difficult lines in Shakespeare's plays?

Read the following quote from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds."

The priest stared down at his scuffed brown loafers and the worn hem of his cassock. "For a Christian burial it was necessary."

His voice was distant, and Leon thought that his blue eyes looked tired.

"It's O.K., Father, we just want him to have plenty of water."

The priest sank down into the green chair and picked up a glossy missionary magazine. He turned the colored pages full of lepers and pagans without looking at them.

"You know I can't do that, Leon. There should have been the Last Rites and a funeral Mass at the very least."

Based on this excerpt, what can be inferred about Father Paul’s feelings?
He secretly feels frustrated that Leon and the Pueblo people hold on to their traditional beliefs.
He hopes to convince the Pueblo people to convert from their traditional beliefs to Christianity.
He is upset because he is unable to stand up to Leon’s demands and manipulations.
He is discouraged because Leon does not view the holy water as a holy symbol.

Clothing is not only a means of keeping warm and decently covered; it’s also a means of communication. We affect other’s perceptions of us by the way we dress. If we are trying to establish ourselves as part of a group, we adopt the dress style of that group. That’s the reason an applicant for an executive position shows up for the interview dressed in a dark suit, conservative shoes, and subdued jewelry – typical executive attire.

Consider these versions of The War of the Worlds.

Excerpt 1, from H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds:

The common round the sand pits was dotted with people, standing like myself in a half-fascinated terror, staring at these creatures, or rather at the heaped gravel at the edge of the pit in which they lay. And then, with a renewed horror, I saw a round, black object bobbing up and down on the edge of the pit. It was the head of the shopman who had fallen in, but showing as a little black object against the hot western sun. Now he got his shoulder and knee up, and again he seemed to slip back until only his head was visible. Suddenly he vanished, and I could have fancied a faint shriek had reached me.

Excerpt 2, from Howard E. Koch's script for Orson Welles's radio adaptation:

PHILLIPS: Ladies and gentlemen, you've just heard Mr. Wilmuth, owner of the farm where this thing has fallen. I wish I could convey the atmosphere . . . the background of this . . . fantastic scene. Hundreds of cars are parked in a field in back of us. Police are trying to rope off the roadway leading to the farm. But it's no use. They're breaking right through. Cars' headlights throw an enormous spot on the pit where the object's half buried. Some of the more daring souls are now venturing near the edge. Their silhouettes stand out against the metal sheen.

Which statement best describes the similarity between these versions?
