Explanation:

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, and then answer the question.

But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be admitted to the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which became the nation's chief immigrant processing center in 1892. There they would be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass all the exams would be detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great anxiety. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as "Heartbreak Island."

What best paraphrases the central idea of the excerpt?

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids.

Giuseppe and I held tightly to Stepfather's hands, while Liberta and Helvetia clung to Mother. Passengers all about us were crowding against the rail. Jabbered conversations, sharp cries, laughs and cheers -- a steadily rising din filled the air. Mothers and fathers lifted up babies so that they too could see, off to the left, the Statue of Liberty.

What best paraphrases the central idea of the excerpt?

It was noisy on the ship sailing to America. Immigrant parents and children made a lot of noise, especially when they got to the Statue of Liberty.
Immigrant families sailing to America were excited when they finally made it to the New York harbor. Everyone on board made happy noise as they reached the United States.
Everyone on board the ship was fighting to see the Statue of Liberty. Babies and mothers and fathers all cried because they couldn’t see it, because it was off to the left.
Immigrant children had to hold tightly to their parents’ hands. There was so much crowding and jostling on board the ship. If they didn’t stay close to their parents, they would fall off the boat.

How did Malala react to the doctors telling her not to cry? What does her reaction reveal about her character?

02.02 The Great North American Circus

There was great excitement in Smyrna, especially among the boys. Barlow's Great American Circus in its triumphal progress from state to state was close at hand, and immense yellow posters announcing its arrival were liberally displayed on fences and barns, while smaller bills were put up in the post office, the hotel, and the principal stores, and distributed from house to house.
It was the largest circus that had ever visited Smyrna. At least a dozen elephants marched with ponderous steps in its preliminary procession, while clowns, acrobats, giants, dwarfs, fat women, cannibals, and hairy savages from Tibet and Madagascar were among the strange wonders that were to be seen at each performance for the small sum of fifty cents, children half price.
For weeks the young people had been looking forward to the advent of this marvelous world of curiosities, and the country papers from farther east had given glowing accounts of the great show, which was pronounced greater and more gorgeous than in any previous year. But it may be as well to reproduce, in part, the description given in the posters:
BARLOW'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN CIRCUS.
Now in its triumphal march across the continent, will
give two grand performances,
AT SMYRNA
on the afternoon and evening of May 18th.
Never in all its history has this
unparalleled show embraced a greater variety of attractions,
or included a larger number of world-famous
acrobats, clowns, bare back riders, rope walkers, trapeze
artists, and star performers,
in addition to a colossal menagerie, comprising
elephants, tigers, lions, leopards,
and other wild animals in great variety.
All this and far more, including a hundred
DARING ACTS,
can be seen for the trifling sum of fifty cents;
children half price.
COME ONE! COME ALL!
Two boys paused to read this notice, pasted with pictures of elephants and circus performers on the high board fence near Stoddard's grocery store. They were Dan Clark and Christopher Watson, called Kit for short.

1 The day of Josephine and Cora's campout had finally arrived. The two friends had been planning the campout for more than two weeks. They picked out a spot for the tent in Josephine's backyard. They chose the games they wanted to play. Now they were at the store with Josephine's dad buying camping food. "This campout is going to be perfect," Cora said as she dropped a bag of marshmallows into the cart. "We have the perfect tent, the perfect games, and the perfect food!"

2 Just then a loud clap of thunder sounded outside. The wind whipped as a bright flash filled the dark sky.

3 "But not the perfect weather," Cora moaned.

4 "That was thunder and that means rain. Rain means no camping," Josephine groaned.

5 "I guess we can stop shopping!" Cora snapped. She began taking food out of the cart.

6 As Josephine's father placed the food back in the cart, he told the girls not to give up on their campout. They paid for the food and went back to Josephine's house to wait out the storm.

7 At dinnertime the sky remained dark gray as the rain continued to pour down outside. The girls sat in silence while they ate. Cora looked out the window and said sadly, "I can't believe it's still raining. Our campout was supposed to be perfect."

8 Josephine nodded as she looked from her plate to the window. Josephine's father told the girls that just because something seems impossible doesn't mean it can't happen. He told them to finish eating, go upstairs, and get ready for the campout.

9 They looked out the window and wondered how they could still have a campout. How would they stay dry? How would Josephine's father build a fire with wet wood? It was not possible that they could camp in the backyard. Josephine and Cora gathered their sleeping bags and games anyway. They walked slowly down the stairs.

10 When the girls got to the bottom of the steps, they smiled. Josephine's living room looked like a forest. The chairs and tables were gone, and potted plants took their place. A fire crackled in the fireplace. Strings of tiny lights glittered like fireflies on the walls. Best of all, the tent was set up in the middle of the room. Josephine and Cora were going to camp after all!

11 Josephine and Cora learned that the rain didn't have to spoil their fun. They didn't need to be outside to camp. They didn't need a real campfire to cook hot dogs or marshmallows. Josephine and Cora's indoor campout was perfect because they didn't give up on it.

But what did the passages in Egyptian mean? Did they contain exactly the same message as the Greek passage? The last sentence of the Greek text said, "This decree shall be inscribed on a stela [slab] of hard stone in sacred [hieroglyphic] and native [demotic] and Greek characters," so it seemed clear that the inscription was the same in all three languages. That way, the priests' statement could be read by Egyptians who understood Greek, as well as by those who knew only one or both of the Egyptian languages. But the scholars were still far from being able to decipher either the hieroglyphs or the demotic writing.

—The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone,
James Cross Giblin

How did the scholars know that the inscription was the same in all three languages on the Rosetta Stone?

The last sentence explained that the inscription was the same.
They deciphered the hieroglyphs on the stone, which told them the inscription was the same.
The British scholars explained that the inscription was the same.
They deciphered the demotic writing, which told them the inscription was the same.

Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.

Everywhere in the garment district, by the front gates of little shops and big ones, picketers marched and sang. "O Dubinushka," they sang, and "Tortured and Enslaved," and other Russian folk and revolutionary airs. Icy rains poured down on them, some were in danger of frostbite — a winter of record-breaking cold had already begun — but there they were and there they stayed.

The union men were amazed. "There never was anything like it," one ILGWU official declared. "An equal number of men never would hold together under what these girls are enduring.”

How would a careful rereading of this excerpt help a reader understand who made up the ILGWU?

The reader could make a connection between the quote by one ILGWU official and the author’s reference to “union men” just before it.
The reader could make a connection between the quote by one ILGWU official and the reference to “these girls” in the same quote. The reader could make a connection between the quote by one ILGWU official and the author’s description of “other Russian folk” in the first paragraph.
The reader could make a connection between the quote by one ILGWU official and the descriptive phrase “they sang” in the first paragraph.

Passage 2: "Columbus"




Behind him lay the gray Azores,


Behind the Gates of Hercules;


Before him not the ghost of shores;


Before him only shoreless seas.


5 The good mate said: "Now must we pray,


For lo! the very stars are gone.


Brave Adm'r'l, speak; what shall I say?"


"Why, say, 'Sail on! sail on! and on!'" "My men grow mutinous day by day;


10 My men grow ghastly, wan and weak."


The stout mate thought of home; a spray


Of salt wave washed his swarthy cheek.


"What shall I say, brave Adm'r'l, say,


If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"


15 "Why, you shall say at break of day:


'Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!'"


They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,


Until at last the blanched mate said:


"Why, now not even God would know


20 Should I and all my men fall dead.


These very winds forget their way,


For God from these dread seas is gone.

Now speak, brave Adm'r'l, speak and say"-


He said: "Sail on! sail on! and on!"

25 They sailed. They sailed. Then spake the mate:


"This mad sea shows his teeth to-night.


He curls his lip, he lies in wait,


He lifts his teeth, as if to bite!


Brave Adm'r'l, say but one good word:


30 What shall we do when hope is gone?"


The words leapt like a leaping sword:


"Sail on! sail on! sail on! and on!"


Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,


And peered through darkness. Ah, that night


35 Of all dark nights! And then a speck-

A light! A light! At last a light!


It grew, a starlit flag unfurled!


It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.


He gained a world; he gave that world


40 Its grandest lesson: "On! sail on!"




( now the questions )


In Passage 2, there are two main characters speaking: the “brave Adm’r’l” and the “good mate.” Select the line from the poem that best illustrates the central concern of the “good mate.”
