Read this passage from a rhetorical text that claims
cities should ban the raising of chickens in urban
settings.
To support the claim that cities should ban the raising of
backyard chickens, the writer
bc
Raising backyard chickens puts people and the food
supply at unnecessary risk. For example, in 2017 the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified
1,120 cases of salmonella linked to backyard poultry
farming. Indeed, hundreds of outbreaks of salmonella
every year are associated with backyard poultry.
Backyard birds can also spread diseases that affect
commercial poultry, such as the outbreak of Newcastle
disease in 2002 in California that led to commercial
operators having to euthanize more than 3 million birds.
Why take such risks just so some urban residents can
follow a fad?
O gives examples of unsuccessful poultry operations
both large and small.
0 points out the moral implications of large-scale
commercial poultry farming.
O provides facts and data to show how the practice
can harm the community.
O questions the readers' understanding of the risks of
urban farming

Answer: provides facts and data to show how practice can harm the community

Read the excerpt from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe".

Pyramus had left

a little later than his Thisbe had,
and he could see what surely were the tracks
of a wild beast left clearly on deep dust.
His face grew ashen. And when he had found
the bloodstained shawl, he cried: "Now this same night
will see two lovers lose their lives: she was
the one more worthy of long life: it's I
who bear the guilt for this.

Which statement best describes how the order of events creates tension?

Because Pyramus does not see the beast, readers fear confrontation.

Select the correct text in the passage.

The excerpt is taken from Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech to the Second Virginia Convention in 1775. Which sentence suggests that Patrick Henry believed British rule in the American colonies was tyrannical?

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. {The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country.} {For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery;} and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. {Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country}, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. {We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.} Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? {For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.}

Read the passage from chapter 1 of Animal Farm.

As soon as the light in the bedroom went out there was a stirring and a fluttering all through the farm buildings. Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White boar, had had a strange dream on the previous night and wished to communicate it to the other animals. It had been agreed that they should all meet in the big barn as soon as Mr. Jones was safely out of the way. Old Major (so he was always called, though the name under which he had been exhibited was Willingdon Beauty) was so highly regarded on the farm that everyone was quite ready to lose an hour's sleep in order to hear what he had to say.

At one end of the big barn, on a sort of raised platform, Major was already ensconced on his bed of straw, under a lantern which hung from a beam.

Which detail from the passage best supports the idea that Old Major is wise?

“Word had gone round during the day that old Major, the prize Middle White boar, had had a strange dream on the previous night.”
“Old Major (so he was always called, though the name under which he had been exhibited was Willingdon Beauty) . . .”
