These are the first 4 questions I'm not able to copy the text of the questions so
read the following passage found in from emperor to citizen.
when i was ten, my grandmother and mother started to come and visit me on the
orders of the high consorts, and they brought my brother pu chieh and my first
sister to play with me for a few days. their first visit started off very drearily: i and
my grandmother sat on the kang, and she watched me playing dominoes while my
brother and sister stood below us very properly, gazing at me with a fixed stare like
attendants on duty in a yamen. later it occurred to me to take them along to the part
of the palace in which i lived, where i asked pu chieh, "what games do you play at
"pu chieh can play hide-and-seek," said my brother, who was a year younger than i,
in a very respectful way.
"so you play hide-and-seek too? it's a jolly good game." i was very excited. i had
played it with the eunuchs but never with children younger than myself. so we
started to play hide-and-seek, and in the excitement of the game, my brother and
sister forgot their inhibitions. we deliberately let down the blinds to make the room
very dark. my sister, who was two years younger than i, was at the same time
enraptured and terrified, and as my brother and i kept giving her frights, we got so
carried away that we were laughing and shouting.
a) after reading these paragraphs, the reader can most likely conclude that p 'u yi
does not enjoy playing dominoes by himself.
b) regards his brother and sister as subjects and not siblings.
c) is grateful for having children his own age to entertain him.
d) does not often have the opportunity for uninhibited playtime.
2. read the following paragraphs from "the women's baths."
in my grandmother's opinion the market baths had a delicious ambience about them
which we, who had never experienced it, could not appreciate.
for our part we were afraid that the old lady might slip on the wet floor of the baths
this has often happened to people who go there—and break her leg, as her seventy
years had made her bones dry and stiff; or she might catch a severe chill coming
outside from the warm air of the baths and contract a fatal illness as a result. but
how could we convince this stubborn old lady of the cogency of these arguments?
it was quite out of the question that she should give up a custom to which she had
adhered for seventy years, and she had done so without ever once having been
stricken with the mishaps we feared. grandmother had made up her mind that she
would keep up this custom as long as she was able to walk on her own two feet, and
her tenacity in clinging to her point of view only increased the more my mother tried
to reason with her.
after reading these paragraphs, which of the following can the reader most likely conclude
about the situation?
a) the family is unjustifiably concerned about the safety of its matriarch.
b) the grandmother enjoys taking a position that puts her at odds with her daughter-in-law.
c) the grandmother is angry that her family insists she give up her monthly visits to the baths.
d) the family regards its grandmother's visits to the baths as a worrisome inconvenience.
3. all of the following lines from "eve to her daughters" support the poem's theme of
acceptance except
a) "where adam went i was fairly contented to go. "
b) "i adapted myself to the punishment: it was my life."
c) "so he set to work. the earth must be made a new eden. "
d) "you are submissive, following adam even beyond existence. "
4. read the following passage from "cranes."
the northern village at the border of the thirty-eighth parallel was snugly settled
under the high, bright autumn sky.
one white gourd lay against another on the dirt floor of an empty farmhouse. the
occasional village elders first put out their bamboo pipes before passing by, and the
children, too, turned aside some distance off. their faces were ridden with fear.
the village as a whole showed few traces of destruction from the war, but it did not
seem like the same village song-sam had known as a boy.
an important theme in this passage is the
a) strain of war on a country.
b) panic associated with conflict.
c) plight of children caught in battle.
d) relationships between generations.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.
