Which sentence from the passage best describes a conflict in this passage?
As soon as Curtis woke up, he knew something was wrong. His face seemed like it was on fire and itched something awful! He jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom and splashed water on his face, but it really didn’t help. He looked closely in the mirror, and the whole right side of his face was red. Alarmed, he yelled for his mother, who rushed into the bathroom. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “Why are you screaming?”
“Look at my face,” Curtis said and turned to her.
His mother put her glasses on and bent down to examine his face. She touched the red area and pushed his hair back. “It itches like crazy,” he said.
She turned his head to one side so the light was better and touched the red area again. “Try not to scratch it,” she said, “that’ll just make it worse.”
“Don’t you have something you can put on it?”
“Come into my bathroom, and I’ll put some lotion on it,” she said.
The lotion helped a little; at least Curtis didn’t feel like he wanted to scratch his face off. “What do you think it is?” he asked his mother.
“Well, it looks like something bit you,” she said, “maybe a spider.”
“In my bed?” he asked and shivered involuntarily.
“Maybe, but weren’t you and Trevor playing in the woods yesterday?” she asked.
“That’s right, we were, but nothing bit me.”
She turned his face to get a better look. “Whether it was in the woods or in your bed, something definitely bit you right there on your cheekbone,” she said. “I can see the mark clearly in this light. We’re going to have to take you to the clinic.”
“But I have school today, and I haven’t missed school all year. Can’t I go to the school nurse? I think the lotion is really working,” he added hurriedly. This last statement was not really true as his face was still hot and itchy, but Curtis was determined to get a perfect attendance award at the awards assembly in May.
“I’d feel better if Dr. Cline looked at it. She can recommend a skin cream that will help you feel better. Go get dressed while I call the clinic. Maybe they can see you first thing and you can go to school a little late.”
A.
"He looked closely in the mirror, and the whole right side of his face was red."
B.
"She touched the red area and pushed his hair back."
C.
"The lotion helped a little; at least Curtis didn't feel like he wanted to scratch his face off."
D.
"She turned his head to one side so the light was better and touched the red area again."
Which statement is an example of a bandwagon fallacy?
All students who do homework hate going to school.
Students who have daily homework are more likely to hate school.
Since 80 percent of students do not want homework, they should not have to do it.
People who support giving homework do not want kids to enjoy their childhood.
My EpiPen
by Matthew Friend
"Matt, do you have your EpiPen?" Those six words have echoed throughout my house each morning ever since I could understand them.
"Matt, do you have your EpiPen?" "Matt, do you have your EpiPen?" "Matt, do you have your EpiPen?" How many times have I heard that? Thousands. Growing up with a food allergy was a huge burden requiring constant vigilance. Vigilance about carrying my EpiPen, where to sit at the school lunch table, who would chaperone the field trip, whose birthday party would my mom or dad have to hang out at, whose house was safe for me to hang out at, vigilance about what foods I eat.
Since enrolling and subsequently graduating from a Stanford food allergy study led by Dr. Kari Nadeau, my anxiety surrounding my allergy has greatly decreased, but my vigilance remains steadfast. The Stanford study has given me safety from cross contamination and a life without fear.
My EpiPen goes with me everywhere – just like my shadow. Everyone with severe allergies should have this shadow with them too. My good friend (who has multiple food allergies) doesn't carry an EpiPen when he is with me. His rationale behind it is, "I'm with you, so I don't need one." I recently met someone who does not carry an EpiPen although she has a diagnosed anaphylactic allergy to tree nuts and peanuts. Her rationale? "I've never had a reaction and I am really careful about what I eat."
I cannot understand when I meet people with food allergies and they do not carry an EpiPen. Sometimes they say, "I just get hives around my mouth." Or "I just get a little itchy on my tongue." Or "I have an EpiPen, it's in my car." CAN YOU BE SERIOUS?
Before entering the allergy study, unfortunately for me I had to use my trusted EpiPen several times. It was very tense, scary and thankfully quick. After a person gets over the paralyzing fear of the needle (which is actually hidden inside the pen), the EpiPen is actually easy to use (once you get the hang of it). The EpiPen works so fast. It actually stops the allergic reaction in its tracks. It is the only life saving medication food allergic people can use to help prevent life threatening reactions.
So yes, under the advice of my doctor, I still carry an EpiPen. In fact, my doctor recommends that anyone with a food allergy carry an EpiPen. Even though I successfully eat a lot (4,000 milligrams each) of all of my allergens daily, (which are wheat, rye, barley and oats), my EpiPen is always by my side -- at camp, tennis, school, or a party. I know the facts of how quickly a reaction can escalate, and I may still have a reaction. I am, after all, a living science experiment.
The words, "Matt, do you have your EpiPen?" are still essential to my life.

Gottlieb Mittelberger was a schoolteacher who left Germany in May of 1750 to make his journey to America. He arrived at the port of Philadelphia in October of that year, and kept a diary detailing his experience on the journey. Read an excerpt from his firsthand account.
After reading the excerpt, briefly compare the man’s account of life on a ship to Avi’s portrayal of it in The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. What are the main differences and similarities between each portrayal? Your response should be about 150 words.
Answer:
When the ships have for the last time weighed their anchors near the city of [Cowes] in Old England, the real misery begins with the long voyage. For from there the ships, unless they have good wind, must often sail 8, 9, 10 to 12 weeks before they reach Philadelphia. But even with the best wind the voyage lasts 7 weeks.
But during the voyage there is on board these ships terrible misery, stench, fumes, horror, vomiting, many kinds of sea-sickness, fever, dysentery, headache, heat, constipation, boils, scurvy, cancer, mouth-rot, and the like all of which come from old and sharply salted food and meat, also from very bad and foul water, so that many die miserably.
Add to this want of provisions, hunger, thirst, frost, heat, dampness, anxiety, want, afflictions and lamentations, together with other trouble, as c. v. the lice abound so frightfully, especially on sick people, that they can be. scraped off the body. The misery reaches the climax when a gale rages for 2 or 3 nights and days, so that every one believes that the ship will go to 'the bottom with all human beings on board. In such a-visitation the people cry and pray most piteously. . . .
I myself had to pass through a severe illness at sea, and I best know how I felt at the time. These poor people often long for consolation, and I often entertained and comforted them with singing, praying and exhorting; and whenever it was possible and the winds and waves permitted it, I kept daily prayer-meetings with them on deck. Besides, I baptized five children in distress, because we had no ordained minister on board. I also held divine service every Sunday by reading sermons to the people; and when the dead were sunk in the water, I commended them and our souls to the mercy of God.
Among the healthy, impatience sometimes grows so great and cruel that one curses the other, or himself and the day of his birth, and sometimes come near killing each other. Misery and malice join each other, so that they cheat and rob one another. One always reproaches the other with having persuaded him to undertake the journey. Frequently children cry out against their parents, husbands against their wives and wives against their husbands, brothers and sisters, friends and acquaintances against each other. But most against the soul-traffickers.
Many sigh and cry: "Oh, that I were at home again, and if I had to lie in my pig-sty!" Or they say: "0 God, if I only had a piece of good bread, or a good fresh drop of water." Many people whimper, sigh and cry piteously for their homes; most of them get home-sick. Many hundred people necessarily die and perish in such misery, and must be cast into the sea, which drives their relatives, or those who persuaded them to undertake the journey, to such despair that it is almost impossible to pacify and console them. In a word, the sighing and crying and lamenting on board the ship continues night and day, so as to cause the hearts even of the most hardened to bleed when they hear it. . . .

The greedy neighbor, hearing of this new piece of good luck, was filled with envy as before, and called on the old man and asked to borrow the wonderful mortar for a short time, pretending that he, too, sorrowed for the death of Shiro, and wished to make cakes for a festival to the dog’s memory.
The old man did not in the least wish to lend it to his cruel neighbor, but he was too kind to refuse. So the envious man carried home the mortar, but he never brought it back.
Several days passed, and Shiro’s master waited in vain for the mortar, so he went to call on the borrower, and asked him to be good enough to return the mortar if he had finished with it. He found him sitting by a big fire made of pieces of wood. On the ground lay what looked very much like pieces of a broken mortar. In answer to the old man’s inquiry, the wicked neighbor answered haughtily:
“Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”
Answer:
An old man's dog, Shiro had recently passed away and he mourned over the death of his dog. He had mortar, which was a piece of good luck. His neighbor came to his door one day and asked if he could borrow the old man's mortar.
The neighbor said that wanted to make cakes in memory of Shiro. The old man wanted to refuse, but he couldn't bring himself to say no. So he lent the mortar to his evil neighbor. Going on with his day, the old man waited until his neighbor would bring it back.
Several days has soon passed, and the old man wondered where his mortar was. He had asked the borrower to bring it back once he was finished but he hadn't. The older man went to look for the neighbor and found him by a big fire with pieces of wood. The old man saw that on the ground, it was broken pieces of mortar. He was in shock as the neighbor spoke to him. “Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”

What does Dickinson ask and tell the reader in the first stanza?
How does a “Somebody” behave like a frog?
What other ideas does the comparison suggest?
Answer:
Point of view: personal
In the first stanza, Dickinson, through the narrator, tells the reader that she’s “Nobody” and asks the reader who he or she is and whether he or she is a “Nobody” like her.
Just as a frog's constant croaking advertises its presence, a “Somebody” will grab attention through speaking and outward behavior. By comparing a “Somebody” to a frog, Dickinson suggests that this type of person does not really have any qualities or skills that make him or her worth noticing—this person is as dull as a croaking frog.
Being a modest and thoughtful “Nobody” is preferable to being a “Somebody” who simply makes a lot of noise to get attention.

excerpt from “Mohandas Gandhi: Truth in Action” by Vanessa Wright
“Thief,” thought Mohandas Gandhi. “I am a thief.”
Fifteen-year-old Mohandas looked at the gold in his hand. He had stolen it from his brother. It was not his first theft: earlier, he had stolen coins from the family’s servants. But now, the gold in his hand burned like a hot coal. He sat down and wrote a letter of confession to his father.
Would his father punish him? Mohandas watched as his father read the note. Tears rolled down his father’s cheeks, wetting the paper. But there was no scolding. Silently, his father tore the letter into pieces. Later, Gandhi realized that, in his father’s response, he had seen the principle of Ahimsa—of nonviolence—in action. He dedicated his life to that principle.
Which statement best describes how the anecdote affects the text?
It shows that Gandhi is untrustworthy.
It reveals that Gandhi learns the importance of nonviolence.
It proves that gold is important to Gandhi.
It demonstrates that as a teen Gandhi has a permissive father.

“Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”
Answer:
I couldn’t believe my neighbor’s luck. Why did good things always happen to him and not me? It wasn’t fair at all. I knew that I had to do something to make things more equal between us. I approached him one day and asked to borrow the mortar. I could see that he was suspicious of me. I lied to him about my intentions, saying that I wanted to make cakes for a feast in memory of his dog. I pretended to be plunged into sorrow at his dog’s death, even though I had secretly killed the dog. I had hoped doing so would make us equal in our misery.
The old man agreed to lend me his mortar, but I think he was just foolishly too weak to say no. I took the mortar home with absolutely no intention of returning it to him.
I immediately tried to make cakes with the mortar. Instead of the wonderful bounty I had heard about, I ended up with something foul smelling. I was enraged. I tried to use the mortar for a few days, but it continued to fail me. Once again, I felt like the victim. Why must I suffer, while my neighbor profited? I broke the mortar into pieces and began burning it in a fire. My neighbor came to my house at that time. He seemed shocked at the sight of his precious mortar burning to ashes. I was consumed by fury and said to him, “Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”
