Read the excerpt from The Hot Zone.
There she met Lieutenant Colonel Trotter, a stocky, dark-
haired man whom Nancy had worked with for many
years. They put on their inner gloves and taped their
cuffs. Nancy put a pair of hearing protectors over her
ears. She had started wearing them a while back, when
people had begun to suspect that the roar of air in your
suit might be loud enough to damage your hearing. They
hauled on their space suits and sealed the Ziploc
zippers. They edged around each other as they fiddled
with their suits. People wearing biohazard space suits
tend to step around one another like two wrestlers at the
beginning of a match, watching the other person's every
move, especially watching the hands to make sure they
don't hold a sharp object. This cringing becomes
instinctive.

You’ve learned that an allegory is a fictional narrative in which the literal story has another parallel, deeper meaning. Read the following excerpt from Hawthorne’s short story "Young Goodman Brown." Analyze and explain the allegory used in the story.

And there they stood, the only pair, as it seemed, who were yet hesitating on the verge of wickedness in this dark world. A basin was hollowed, naturally, in the rock. Did it contain water, reddened by the lurid light? or was it blood? or, perchance, a liquid flame? Herein did the shape of evil dip his hand and prepare to lay the mark of baptism upon their foreheads, that they might be partakers of the mystery of sin, more conscious of the secret guilt of others, both in deed and thought, than they could now be of their own. The husband cast one look at his pale wife, and Faith at him. What polluted wretches would the next glance show them to each other, shuddering alike at what they disclosed and what they saw!

"Faith! Faith!" cried the husband, "look up to heaven, and resist the wicked one."

Whether Faith obeyed he knew not. Hardly had he spoken when he found himself amid calm night and solitude, listening to a roar of the wind which died heavily away through the forest. He staggered against the rock, and felt it chill and damp; while a hanging twig, that had been all on fire, besprinkled his cheek with the coldest dew.

Woe’s me, i shall be lonely when i can feel no longer the impatience of their wings! which best describes the effect of the expression "woe’s me"? it heightens the sense of loss in the poem. it creates an artificially dramatic tone. it injects excitement into the work. it gives us a sense of the speaker’s character.

Read the excerpt from Alice in Wonderland by Alice Gerstenberg. Which two descriptions capture the Caterpillar’s character?

(Is a garden of high, very conventional and artificial looking flowers. On a large mushroom sits the Caterpillar smoking a hookah. Alice is whirling about trying to get her equilibrium after her fall. She goes to the mushroom timidly and, conscious of her size, for her chin reaches the top of the mushroom, she gazes at the Caterpillar wonderingly. He looks at her lazily and speaks in a languid voice.)

CATERPILLAR: Who are you?

ALICE: I—I hardly know, sir, just at present. The Queen frightened me so and I’ve had an awfully funny fall down a tunnel or a sort of well. At least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.

CATERPILLAR: What do you mean by that? Explain yourself.

ALICE: I can’t explain myself, I’m afraid, Sir, because I’m not myself, you see. Being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.

CATERPILLAR: You! Who are you?

ALICE: I think you ought to tell me who you are, first.

CATERPILLAR: Why?

(As Alice turns away.)

1. The Caterpillar is humorous.
2. The Caterpillar is very serious.
3. The Caterpillar is rude.
4. The Caterpillar is distracted.
5. The Caterpillar is kind.

Uninsured people are less likely to receive medical care and more likely to have poor health status. The cost of poor health among uninsured people was almost $125 billion in 2004 (Hadley & Holahan, 2004).

The financial burden of uninsurance is also high for uninsured individuals; almost 50% of personal bankruptcy filings are due to medical expenses (Jacoby, et al., 2000). Uninsured individuals report more problems getting care, are diagnosed at later disease stages, and get less therapeutic care.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

Some of these scholars made otherwise significant contributions to the world's knowledge of ancient Egypt. A German priest of the 1600s, Athanasius Kircher, wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of Coptic, the language of Christian Egypt. These books were to prove of great value when the hieroglyphs were eventually deciphered.

But Kircher's ideas about the hieroglyphs themselves were even farther off the mark than those of Horapollo. Looking at a certain group of symbols—which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh—Kircher let his imagination run wild. Without any evidence to support him, he said that the hieroglyphs meant "The blessings of the god Osiris are to be procured by means of sacred ceremonies, in order that the benefits of the river Nile may be obtained."

Which sentence from this excerpt contains evidence that supports the claim?
