Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job.

No one would have blamed Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks if they had decided to keep quiet about civil rights following the bombing of their friend's home. But Audrey's parents weren't intimidated. The very next day, her father and about fifteen other blacks sat down in the front section of a bus, where only whites were permitted. When the driver demanded they move to the back, Audrey's father politely refused, saying "We [are] comfortable where we are sitting." As a result, Mr. Hendricks was arrested and spent six nights in jail. When he was released, he volunteered to guard the Shuttlesworths’ home.

Why do Mr. Hendricks and others sit in a section of the bus where they are not permitted?

to figure out who is responsible for the previous night’s violence
to show they will keep fighting even though their friend’s home was destroyed
to rally other people in the area to join their fight against segregation laws
to experience the comfort and convenience of the front of the bus

Read the excerpts from "opening statements from John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon First Televised Debate."

Kennedy: This is a great country, but I think it could be a greater country; and this is a powerful country, but I think it could be a more powerful country. I'm not satisfied to have fifty percent of our steel-mill capacity unused. I'm not satisfied when the United States had last year the lowest rate of economic growth of any major industrialized society in the world.

Nixon: Let's put it in terms that all of us can understand. We often hear gross national product discussed and in that respect may I say that when we compare the growth in this Administration with that of the previous Administration that then there was a total growth of eleven percent over seven years; in this Administration there has been a total growth of nineteen per cent over seven years. That shows that there's been more growth in this Administration than in its predecessor.

Which best analyzes a difference in the evidence used by each speaker to reach his conclusion?


Kennedy uses facts to compare U.S. economic growth with other industrialized nations, which show the U.S. is lagging; Nixon uses facts to compare the economic growth during this presidency to that during the previous one, which shows that the economy is improving.


Kennedy makes a common assertion about how he will improve the U.S. steel industry; Nixon uses facts to demonstrate that the steel industry, while not perfect, has come a long way in the past seven years.


Kennedy uses specific statistics to argue that economic growth in the U.S. is lagging behind other nations; Nixon relies on common assertions and opinions, rather than facts, to show that the U.S.'s economic growth is forging ahead.


Kennedy compares U.S. steel production to that of other countries to show that the U.S. is lagging; Nixon compares steel production now to steel production during the Truman presidency to show that it is forging ahead.

from "Was it a Dream?"
by Guy de Maupassant


On turning round I saw that all the graves were open, that all the dead bodies had emerged from them, and that all had effaced the lies inscribed-engraved or written on the gravestones by their relations, substituting the truth instead.

And I saw that all had been the tormentors of their neighbors-malicious, dishonest, hypocrites, liars, rogues, calumniators, envious; that they had stolen, deceived, performed every disgraceful, every abominable action, these good fathers, these faithful wives, these devoted sons, these chaste daughters, these honest tradesmen, these men and women who were called irreproachable. They were all writing at the same time, on the threshold of their eternal abode, the truth, the terrible and the holy truth of which everybody was ignorant, or pretended to be ignorant, while they were alive.

I thought that SHE also must have written something on her tombstone, and now running without any fear among the half-open coffins, among the corpses and skeletons, I went toward her, sure that I should find her immediately. I recognized her at once, without seeing her face, which was covered by the winding-sheet, and on the marble cross, where shortly before I had read:

"She loved, was loved, and died."

I now saw:

"Having gone out in the rain one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold and died."

Why does the author choose to present the events of the story in an episodic style? (5 points)


Group of answer choices

Presenting the events in order keeps the reader from learning too much at the beginning.

The events of the story are too complex to be told using a different structure.

Using an episodic style emphasizes the dream-like nature of the narrator's story.

Telling the story using a linear style most closely shows how the narrator experienced it.
