Read the following passage:

Paul's Paintings

Once, in Switzerland, there lived a boy. His name was Paul Klee, and he lived in a world full of music and color. His father was a music teacher, and his mother enjoyed singing cheerful songs, so he was surrounded by music. But the real magic came from his grandmother, who liked to draw pictures. When she gave Paul colored pencils and taught him to draw, Paul's creativity flowed onto the page in beautiful color.

As Paul grew up, his parents encouraged him to learn music because they wanted him to be a musician like them. At seven, Paul learned to play the violin, and he enjoyed the music that flowed from his fingers, but his thoughts always returned to the colored pencils his grandmother had given him. He though so much about the colors flowing together that he even ended up drawing on his notebooks at school! His teachers didn't always appreciate his creativity, especially when he was supposed to be doing math.

As Paul got older, his love of art stayed with him. He went to school and learned to paint and draw. He was determined to learn the techniques so that he could share his love of art with his own students one day, just like his grandmother had with him.

One day when Paul was thinking about what to paint next, he remembered his grandmother and the drawings they used to create together. Soon his brush was swooping across the canvas, and his childhood drawings became works of art. His playful paintings became famous around the world. Today they hang in museums and art galleries where they inspire children everywhere to find their own style and create the kind of art that is meaningful to them.

Read the passage from "Cruel Tribute.”

Years passed by. Every spring when the roses began to bloom seven youths and seven maidens were put on board of a black-sailed ship and sent to Crete to pay the tribute which King Minos required. In every house in Athens there was sorrow and dread, and the people lifted up their hands to Athena on the hilltop and cried out, "How long, O Queen of the Air, how long shall this thing be?"

In the meanwhile the little child at Troezen on the other side of the sea had grown to be a man. His name, Theseus, was in everybody's mouth, for he had done great deeds of daring; and at last he had come to Athens to find his father, King Aegeus, who had never heard whether he was alive or dead; and when the youth had made himself known, the king had welcomed him to his home and all the people were glad because so noble a prince had come to dwell among them and, in time, to rule over their city.

Look at the excerpt of informational text. Which of the following is a subhead? The Daily Tide Cycle As Earth turns completely around once each day, people on or near the shore observe the rise and fall of the tides as they reach the area of each tidal bulge. The high tides occur about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart in each location. As Earth rotates, easternmost points pass through the area of the tidal bulge before points farther to the west. Therefore, high tide occurs later the farther west you go along a coastline. Spring Tides Twice a month, at the new moon and the full moon, the sun and moon are lined up. Their combined gravitational pull produces the greatest range between high and low tide, called a spring tide. These tides get their name not because they occur during the spring season, but from an Old English word, springen, which means “to jump.” The Daily Tide Cycle springen Spring Tides high tide occurs later the farther west you go along a coastline

Jonas wrote the following sentence in an analysis comparing Act 5, Scene 3 of The Winter's Tale with "Pygmalion and Galatea."
In my opinion, Hermione shouldn't have been so ready to forgive her husband, but in Galatea's case, there was no problem
with the past.
Which revision correctly uses formal style?
OA. I'm sure most readers agree that Hermione lets Leontes off the hook for his past deeds way too easily. Galatea is
another story, though, since she has no past.
OB. I still think that Hermione forgives her husband too easily, but in any case, this detail differs from Ovid's story
because Galatea has no past at all.
OC. Some would argue that Hermione forgives her husband's past cruel actions too easily, but this detail differs from
Ovid's story because Galatea has no past at all.
OD. As a former statue, Galatea has no past at all, but it's even worse for Hermione, who really forgives her husband's
past actions too easily.
