Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered.

He then began to curse me, shouting terrible words and saying that I was a traitor, that I would get a terrible punishment. He kept on cursing uncontrollably. I remained standing as tall as I could, not reacting at all to his words. The more he shouted, the more nervous he became. He began to pace from wall to wall. Suddenly, he spun on his heel and said, "What shall I do with you?" At that moment, I began to feel that I was getting a little more control of the situation. I felt as though I'd grown a little in height. He studied me. I could hear him thinking, Here are two people standing across from each other who are from one country, from one city. One hunts Jews and the other protects them. He quieted down a bit; his face became more human.

For all men in general this observation may be made: they are ungrateful, fickle, and deceitful, eager to avoid dangers, and avid for gain, and while you are useful to them they are all with you, but when it [danger] approaches they turn on you. Any prince, trusting only in their works and having no other preparations made, will fall to ruin, for friendships that are bought at a price and not by greatness and nobility of soul are paid for indeed, but they are not owned and cannot be called upon in time of need. Men have less hesitation in offending a man who is loved than one who is feared, for love is held by a bond of obligation which, as men are wicked, is broken whenever personal advantage suggests it, but fear is accompanied by the dread of punishment, which never relaxes. 1. What type of ruler must the prince be, and why is it necessary for him to rule in this manner

In England in the 1800s, there was often a very clear social divide between the upper class and servants.
Which quote from paragraph 12 of Passage 1 illustrates this divide?

An author claims that "Athletes caught using performance-enhancing drugs should be sentenced to prison." The author provides the following reason as support: In 2013, the TV show Sport-Zone surveyed 2,000 athletes. 73 percent admitted knowing a teammate who took performance-enhancing drugs. Huang Kroll, spokesperson for the International Olympic Committee, was interviewed during the program. "Using illegal substances to gain an advantage is a huge issue," he explained. "Unless stronger laws are passed—laws that result in prison rather than suspension from competition—the problem will continue to grow." Which choice best describes the reason the author provides? It is effective. It supports the claim clearly and logically. It is irrelevant. It discusses a fact that is off topic and does not support the claim. It is unreliable. It does not give any details to prove that the source can be trusted. It is unverified. It does not cite a source to show where the information was located.

Read the poem
I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed — and gazed — but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.
