The junky car bobbed behind Libby's tow truck as she confidently swung both vehicles into her garage. Her young passenger in the shredded jean jacket seemed a little less secure, however. For the whole trip to the garage, Rick had been whirling around to look through the rear window to check on the car he'd just bought at the salvage yard. Obviously, Rick thought there was a treasure buried among all those dents and rust patches.
In the office, Libby told Rick she thought it might be tough to find the alternator he needed. If he could do without the car for a week or two, she'd do her best.
“That's okay, I guess,” Rick shrugged. He tucked a long strand of hair behind one ear. “It'd take me at least that long to pay you. I start a new job tomorrow, and it always takes a few weeks to get the first check.”
Libby smiled. “Tell you what. You keep that check. If I find the alternator, it's on me. Just bring your car here for all your repairs after that.” She patted the hood of his car, and a small piece of rust floated down to the floor. “I hate to tell you, but you're going to be back quite a bit.”
“Cool.” Rick bobbed his head. “Thanks, dude! Catch you later.”
A man in a suit walked in just after Rick rambled out. Libby immediately mistrusted him. It was the briefcase. “If you've got a car for me, you should just pull it in,” she said flatly.
The man smiled and shook his head. “No, I'm actually hoping to help you out. I'm with Midtown Money Merchants. We're contacting small businesses in the area that need a little spark to grow. A line of credit might be just the spark you need to increase your profits.”
Libby gritted her teeth. She felt the garage growing cold.
It was that winter day again. Libby was nine. She looked through the front window of her family's apartment as a man in coveralls was hooking her family's car up to a tow truck. Another man was at their apartment door, holding an open briefcase and shoving a paper into her father's face.
“Just another couple of months,” her father was insisting. “I'll pay extra then. I will!”
“Sir, you haven't even been paying what was expected of you. We have been patient enough.” The man snapped his briefcase closed. “Now it's time to return what you bought with our company's money.” He looked over at Libby for a moment. Then he coughed, turned, and went down the stairwell. The window's glass fogged with the heat of Libby's face.
Now walking across the floor of the garage she owned, Libby approached Mr. Midtown Money Merchant. “No loans,” she said through gritted teeth. “My business has done just fine without them.”
The man escorted himself backward through the door, banging his briefcase against the door as he practically jumped through it.
Libby suddenly smiled. “Come back when you need a radiator rebuilt, now, you hear?” Then she slammed the door

Which of the following best describes Libby's feelings when Rick says he can't pay her immediately?

-She mistrusts him immediately.
-She is angry and unsympathetic.
-She is understanding and forgiving.
-She worries his car will be taken away.

Answer:

she mistrustes him imediatly

Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Select two key details that could be included in a summary of the myth.

A. Bacchus sent Midas to the river to wash away his golden touch.
B. Bacchus sometimes found his teacher Silenus missing.
C. Midas could not eat because of the wish Bacchus granted.
D. Midas entertained Silenus in his kingdom for ten days.
E. Silenus was found by peasants and carried to Midas.

The Reefs
By Marcella Morris

She clutched her lab work to her side and walked briskly towards school. The snow fell in typical New York flurries, and the ground was still icy from last night’s freeze. Careful not to slip, she climbed the steps and crossed the campus toward the science building.

"What am I doing?" she murmured. Sophie’s worst habit was talking to herself in public. "I have been warned."

"You are just a high-school kid, Sophie," they warned. "What makes you think you are capable of solving this crucial environmental issue? Stop wasting your time." The professors would not give her laboratory time to complete research nor would they share their expertise with her.

But, she could not stop.

After a snorkeling trip she took with her aunt to the coral reefs, she felt that something had shifted inside her. The snorkeling guide made one fact very clear: these colonies of tiny organisms would not last. In fact, we’d be lucky if they lasted five more years. She cared about the safety of these coral reefs more than she has cared about anything for a long, long time. She had to do something for the fragile, endangered habitat with its fish, mollusks, worms, crustaceans, and many more.

She used her money to create a lab at her aunt’s house. She worked tirelessly—endlessly—sleeping only when she had to.

"It’s what Mom and Dad would have done," she thought.

Sophie's best friend, Sam, would hang out with her every day—eating pizza, fries, and whatever else he could get his hands on, keeping her company with his humor while she worked on her experiments. And now, she has a biological solution in her hands.

She hesitated at the door to the labs. Nervously, she shifted her lab report from one hand to the other.

"I know that I have an innovative approach to solving the coral reef issue and I know I can help," she said to no one.

The image of being ridiculed by these professors, delayed her entry. She stood outside the door, wanting to run back—wanting to hide—glued to the icy spot.

"Hey, Sophie!" She turned at the unexpected sound of Sam’s voice.

"I’ve been…trying to catch up with you," he panted, out of breath. "Let’s go in and…show them…what you’ve got."

Sophie tilted her head, smiled at Sam and opened the door. She walked confidently to the front, laid out her research on the podium and began her presentation. When her presentation ended, it was to the enthusiastic sound of the scientists’ applause.

Which of the following quotations by Huck’s father in chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an example of irony? "Starchy clothes—very. You think you're a good deal of a big-bug, DON'T you?" “You're educated, too, they say—can read and write. You think you're better'n your father, now, don't you, because he can’t?” “And looky here—you drop that school, you hear? I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father and let on to be better'n what HE is.” "All right. I'll ask him; and I'll make him pungle, too, or I'll know the reason why.

There are two elements that go to the composition of friendship, each so sovereign, that I can detect no superiority in either, no reason why either should be first named. One is Truth. A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness, with which one chemical atom meets another. Sincerity is the luxury allowed, but diadems and authority, only to the highest rank, that being permitted to speak truth as having none above it to court or conform unto. Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds. I knew a man who, under a certain religious frenzy, cast off this drapery, and omitting all compliments and commonplace, spoke to the conscience of every person he encountered, and that with great insight and beauty.

What is a central idea of the passage?

A.
Sacrifice and support are important to preserve true friendships.
B.
Mutual admiration and loyalty form the bond of real friendships.
C.
Integrity and compliments form trust required in real friendships.
D.
Honesty and authenticity are the foundation for true friendships.
