institutions looking for intelligent, hardworking high school graduates who make positive contributions to their communities.

places of higher education. These schools can offer a meaningful educational experience and exceptional preparation for the
professional world.

A)
colored
B)
famous
C)
larger
D)
older

Answer: B)  famous

Explanation:

His sails too weak to bear the blast,

"Jabberwocky" is a nonsense poem. It is essentially meaningless, and many of the words in the poem are made up. However, by taking away the actual meaning of the words, a reader can focus on the musicality and sound of those words.

Write your own nonsense poem. Write ten lines using made-up words about a nonsensical subject. As you are writing, focus on the sounds that your made-up words have, and how they affect the feeling of the poem. Your poem does not necessarily need to rhyme, but should have a sense of rhythm.

A Little Princess
by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The change in her life did not come about gradually, but was made all at once.

"She must begin as she is to go on," Miss Minchin said to Miss Amelia. "She must be taught at once what she is to expect."

Mariette had left the house the next morning. The glimpse Sara caught of her sitting room, as she passed its open door, showed her that everything had been changed. Her ornaments and luxuries had been removed, and a bed had been placed in a corner to transform it into a new pupil's bedroom.

When she went down to breakfast she saw that her seat at Miss Minchin's side was occupied by Lavinia, and Miss Minchin spoke to her coldly.

"You will begin your new duties, Sara," she said, "by taking your seat with the younger children at a smaller table. You must keep them quiet, and see that they behave well and do not waste their food. You ought to have been down earlier. Lottie has already upset her tea."
