Read the excerpt from "The Phantom Rickshaw."

(10) In my room I sat down and tried calmly to reason out the matter. Here was I, Theobald Jack Pansay, a well-educated Bengal Civilian in the year of grace 1885, presumably sane, certainly healthy, driven in terror from my sweetheart's side by the apparition of a woman who had been dead and buried eight months ago. These were facts that I could not blink. Nothing was further from my thought than any memory of Mrs. Wessington when Kitty and I left Hamilton's shop. Nothing was more utterly commonplace than the stretch of wall opposite Peliti's. It was broad daylight. The road was full of people; and yet here, look you, in defiance of every law of probability, in direct outrage of Nature's ordinance, there had appeared to me a face from the grave.

Which three details in the text work together to build tension in the rising action?
[7] The hour struck for retiring; and the whole household came to escort me to my room.
Why?
[8] They called to me: "Good-night." I entered the apartment, shut the door, and remained
standing, without moving a single step, holding the wax candle in my hand.
[9] I heard laughter and whispering in the corridor. Without doubt they were spying on me.
I cast a glance round the walls, the furniture, the ceiling, the hangings, the floor. I saw
nothing to justify suspicion. I heard persons moving about outside my door. I had no doubt
they were looking through the keyhole....
[10] All the same, there was danger. I was going perhaps to receive a cold shower both
from overhead, or perhaps, the moment I stretched myself out, to find myself sinking to
the floor with my mattress. I searched in my memory for all the practical jokes of which I
ever had experience. And I did not want to be caught. Ah! certainly not! certainly not! Then I
suddenly bethought myself. a precaution which I considered insured safety. I caught hold
of the side of the mattress gingerly, and very slowly drew it toward me. It came away,
followed by the sheet and the rest of the bedclothes. I dragged all these objects into the
very middle of the room, facing the entrance door. I made my bed over again as best I
could at some distance from the suspected bedstead and the corner which had filled me
with such anxiety. Then I extinguished all the candles, and, groping my way, I slipped
under the bed clothes.

2. In "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge' when Farquhar seems to be walking back home after escaping the Union soldiers, Bierce describes what he sees
Overhead, as he looked up through this rift in the wood shone great golden stars looking unfamiliar and grouped in strange constellations. He was sure they were arranged in some order which had a secret and malign significance. The wood
on either side was full of singular noises, among which-once twice, and again-he distinctly heard whispers in an unknown tongue
What does this description tell you about Farquhar's perspective?
He is in too much pain to see things clearly
He is not seeing the kind of reality that living people see
He is dreaming about something that happened in the past
He is too weak and hungry to really see his surroundings

Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine’s work “The Crisis” No. 1.

Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. . . .

. . . Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

The words “slavery,” “devils,” and “murderer” evoke a sense of:

a. anger and injustice.
b. fear and anxiety.
c. confusion and chaos.
d. guilt and shame.

Are diet and regular sodas healthy?
Which option below is the most effective explanatory thesis for the prompt?
Both diet and regular sodas affect your metabolism but the long-term effects of artificial sweeteners are less well-known and
therefore more concerning.
All sodas are fine in moderation but water is healthiest of all.
Studies show over-consumption of both sugar and artificial sweeteners can lead to weight gain and diabetes.
Diet sodas are only bad for your health if you use them to wash down cheeseburgers and fries.

Read this excerpt from Scene 7 of The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams.


TOM: I'm going to the movies.

AMANDA: That's right, now that you've had us make such fools of ourselves. The effort, the preparations, all the expense! The new floor lamp, the rug, the clothes for Laura! all for what? To entertain some other girl's fiancé! Go to the movies, go! Don't think about us, a mother deserted, an unmarried sister who's crippled and has no job! Don't let anything interfere with your selfish pleasure I just go, go, go—to the movies!

TOM: All right, I will! The more you shout about my selfishness to me the quicker I'll go, and I won't go to the movies!

AMANDA: Go, then! Then go to the moon—you selfish dreamer!

[Tom smashes his glass on the floor. He plunges out on the fire-escape, slamming the door. LAURA screams—cut by door.

Dance-hall Music up. TOM goes to the rail and grips it desperately, lifting his face in the chill white moonlight penetrating narrow abyss of the alley.

LEGEND ON SCREEN: ' AND SO GOOD-BYE...'

How does this scene affect the play?

It leads to the conclusion of the play and Tom’s closing speech where he admits that he is finally leaving.

It shows that Tom finally stops caring about what will happen to Laura in the future.

It demonstrates how Tom continues to emotionally detach himself from the situation at the apartment.

It leaves the question unanswered as to whether Tom really goes to the movies or goes drinking.

Aspects of Globalization
Globalized trade is nothing new. Societies in ancient Greece and Rome traded with other societies in Africa, the Middle East, India, and China. Trade expanded further during the Islamic Golden Age and after the rise of the Mongol Empire. The establishment of colonial empires after the voyages of discovery by European countries meant that trade was going on all over the world. In the nineteenth century, the Industrial Revolution led to even more trade of ever-increasing amounts of goods. However, the advance of technology, especially communications, after World War II and the Cold War triggered the explosive acceleration in the process occurring today.
One way to look at the similarities and differences that exist among the economies of different nations is to compare their standards of living. The statistic most commonly used to do this is the domestic process per capita. This is the gross domestic product, or GDP, of a country divided by its population. The table below compares the top 11 countries with the bottom 11 out of the 228 countries listed in the CIA World Factbook.

There are benefits and drawbacks to globalization. Some of the benefits include the exponentially accelerated progress of development, the creation of international awareness and empowerment, and the potential for increased wealth (Abedian 2002). However, experience has shown that countries can also be weakened by globalization. Some critics of globalization worry about the growing influence of enormous international financial and industrial corporations that benefit the most from free trade and unrestricted markets. They fear these corporations can use their vast wealth and resources to control governments to act in their interest rather than that of the local population (Bakan 2004). Indeed, when looking at the countries at the bottom of the list above, we are looking at places where the primary benefactors of mineral exploitation are major corporations and a few key political figures.
Other critics oppose globalization for what they see as negative impacts on the environment and local economies. Rapid industrialization, often a key component of globalization, can lead to widespread economic damage due to the lack of regulatory environment (Speth 2003). Further, as there are often no social institutions in place to protect workers in countries where jobs are scarce, some critics state that globalization leads to weak labor movements (Boswell and Stevis 1997). Finally, critics are concerned that wealthy countries can force economically weaker nations to open their markets while protecting their own local products from competition (Wallerstein 1974). This can be particularly true of agricultural products, which are often one of the main exports of poor and developing countries (Koroma 2007). In a 2007 article for the United Nations, Koroma discusses the difficulties faced by “least developed countries” (LDCs) that seek to participate in globalization efforts. These countries typically lack the infrastructure to be flexible and nimble in their production and trade, and therefore are vulnerable to everything from unfavorable weather conditions to international price volatility. In short, rather than offering them more opportunities, the increased competition and fast pace of a globalized market can make it more challenging than ever for LDCs to move forward (Koroma 2007).
The increasing use of outsourcing of manufacturing and service-industry jobs to developing countries has caused increased unemployment in some developed countries. Countries that do not develop new jobs to replace those that move, and train their labor force to do them, will find support for globalization weakening.
