25 read the excerpt below from chapter 1 and answer questions 2 - 5:
1 jonas was careful about language. not like his friend, asher, who talked too fast and mixed things up, scrambling words and phrases until they were barely recognizable and often very funny.
2 jonas grinned, remembering the morning that asher had dashed into the classroom, late as usual, arriving breathlessly in the middle of the chanting of the morning anthem. when the class took their seats at the conclusion of the patriotic hymn, asher remained standing to make his public apology as was required.
3 âi apologize for inconveniencing my learning community.â asher ran through the standard apology phrase rapidly, still catching his breath. the students had all been grinning, because they had listened to asherâs explanations so many times before.
4 âi left home at the correct time but when i was riding along near the hatchery, the crew was separating some salmon. i guess i just got distraught, watching them.
5 âi apologize to my classmates,â asher concluded. he smoothed his rumpled tunic and sat down.
6 âwe accept your apology, asher.â the class recited the standard response in unison. many of the students were biting their lips to keep from laughing.
7 âi accept your apology, asher,â the instructor said. he was smiling. âand i you, because once again you have provided an opportunity for a lesson in language. âdistraughtâ is too strong an adjective to describe salmon-viewing.â
8 he turned and wrote âdistraughtâ on the instructional board. beside it he wrote âdistracted.â
9 jonas, nearing his home now, smiled at the recollection. thinking, still, as he wheeled his bike into its narrow port beside the door, he realized that frightened was the wrong word to describe his feelings, now that december was almost here. it was too strong an adjective.

Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 1, of julius caesar. servant. thus, brutus, did my master bid me kneel. thus did mark antony bid me fall down, and, being prostrate, thus he bade me say. "brutus is noble, wise, valiant, and honest. caesar was mighty, bold, royal, and loving. say i love brutus, and i honour him. say i feared caesar, honoured him, and loved him. if brutus will vouchsafe that antony may safely come to him and be resolved how caesar hath deserved to lie in death, mark antony shall not love caesar dead so well as brutus living, but will follow the fortunes and affairs of noble brutus thorough the hazards of this untrod state with all true faith.â so says my master antony
