The next summer, I wanted something better than
standing in a crowd every morning hoping for a day’s work.
My opportunity came when the hiring boss announced one
morning that the Pepsi plant in Long Island City was looking
for porters to clean the floors, full-time for the summer. I
raised my hand. I was the only one who did.
The porters at the Pepsi plant were all black. The workers
on the bottling machines were all white. I didn’t care. I just
wanted work for the summer, and I worked hard, mopping up
syrup and soda that had spilled from overturned pallets.
At summer’s end, the boss told me he was pleased with my
work and asked if I wanted to come back. “Yes,” I answered,
“but not as a porter.” He agreed, and next summer I worked
on the bottling machine and as a pallet stacker, a more
prestigious and higher-paying job. It wasn’t exactly the Selma
March, but I integrated a bottling machine crew.
What does this story reveal about Powell as a person?
He liked working for Pepsi more than he liked working for Coke.
He learned that if he worked hard, people would be surprised.
He was a hard worker and overcame some racial boundaries.
He told people what he should be doing to get what he wanted.

Isaw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which ! had escaped. another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more and the death just avoided was of that very character which i had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the inquisition. to the victims of its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors. i had been reserved for the latter. by long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until i trembled at the sound of my own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me. which torture does the passage above reference? a. being eaten alive by rats b. being sliced open by a giant blade c. being killed by falling into a hole d. being burned alive

Araby every morning i lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door. the blind was pulled down to within an inch of the sash so that i could not be seen. when she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. i ran to the hall, seized my books and followed her. i kept her brown figure always in my eye and, when we came near the point at which our ways diverged, i quickened my pace and passed her. this happened morning after morning. i had never spoken to her, except for a few casual words, and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood. what is the general tone of the passage? a. courageous b. comical c. passionate d. fearful
