In the following passage from Great Astronomers by Robert Stewall Ball, the author states that he will trace the developments in astronomy
from the time of Ptolemy to the nineteenth century. Based on the content and style of the excerpt, what kind of audience did Ball primarily have
in mind when he was writing this book?
The history of astronomy thus becomes inseparable from the history of the great men to whose labours its development is due. In the
ensuing chapters we have endeavoured to sketch the lives and the work of the great philosophers, by whose labours the science of
astronomy has been created. We shall commence with Ptolemy, who, after the foundations of the science had been laid by Hipparchus,
gave to astronomy the form in which it was taught throughout the Middle Ages. We shall next see the mighty revolution in our conceptions
of the universe which are associated with the name of Copernicus. We then pass to those periods illumined by the genius of Galileo and
Newton, and afterwards we shall trace the careers of other more recent discoverers, by whose Industry and genlus the boundaries of
human knowledge have been so greatly extended. Our history will be brought down late enough to include some of the illustrious
astronomers who laboured in the generation which has just passed away.

read the passage and answer the given question below

The house I grew up in was crowded. I had to share a bedroom with my three brothers and two of my cousins. In total, there were 13 of us in the same house. And that made it feel like I was constantly surrounded.
During the fall, winter, and spring, I would leave the house for an even more crowded school. We had a minimum of 30 students in each class, and two students had to share a locker. Then, I’d catch a bus home with 60 other students. There was hardly a second in a day that I was not in a swarm of people, unfortunately. Being somewhat shy by nature, crowds did not agree with me.
That’s why I loved the summer so much. In summer, I did not have to go to school, and I also did not have to stay home. Instead, I could go out anywhere in the city and find time alone.
My brothers and cousins would usually go someplace to play with 10 or 11 other kids. Not me. My favorite place to go in the summer was the park. It would be crowded, of course, but I could always find a place to sit by myself.
I would enter the park from the west side and make my way as deep into it as I could get. There, in the middle of the park, I could always find a bench isolated from the others. Or a tree that was so shaded as to create a sort of nook for me to hide in. Or even a spot on the grass in the middle of a wide field but hundreds of feet away from the nearest person.
There, in those spots, I would get lost in the pages of a novel or book of poetry. It was in those summers that I first learned to love the written word. And I know that had I not been able to find that solitude in the middle of the bustling crowds, I would not be the man I am today. For I would not have ever discovered the joys of reading, and with them, the joys of writing.
To read is to connect with another person. And yet it is a connection one must make in private and isolation. So without isolation, ironically, for me there would have been no community.

Freedom by Langston Hughes

Freedom will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.
Freedom
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too.
I want my freedom
Just as you.

Read the excerpt from “Birches” by Robert Frost.

When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the line of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy’s been swinging them.
But swinging doesn’t bend them down to stay.
Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them
Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning
After a rain. They click upon themselves
As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.
Soon the sun’s warmth makes them shed crystal shells
Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust—
Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away
You’d think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.

Which lines describe the ice wrapping the tree branches?
As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.

Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them
Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away
You’d think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.
