Which detall Identifies the point where the pacing speeds up in this excerpt?

In Greek tragedy, hubris is excessive pride or vanity that causes characters to overstep their boundaries and then fall in vain. In Antigone, Creon displays hubris when he takes matters of life and death into his own hands rather than leave those decisions to the gods. Which of these excerpts from Antigone demonstrates Creon’s hubris?
CREON:
Our storm-tossed ship of state, now safe in port.
But you by special summons I convened
As my most trusted councilors; first, because
I knew you loyal to Laius of old;
Again, when Oedipus restored our State,
Both while he ruled and when his rule was o'er,…

. . .

CREON:
If I perceive some mischievous design
To sap the State, I will not hold my tongue;
Nor would I reckon as my private friend
A public foe, well knowing that the State
Is the good ship that holds our fortunes all:
Farewell to friendship, if she suffers wreck.

. . .

CREON:
I have proclaimed an edict as concerns
The sons of Oedipus; Eteocles
Who in his country's battle fought and fell,
The foremost champion—duly bury him
With all observances and ceremonies.

. . .

CREON:
For Polyneices 'tis ordained that none
Shall give him burial or make mourn for him,
But leave his corpse unburied, to be meat
For dogs and carrion crows, a ghastly sight.
So am I purposed; never by my will.

But anguish lies ahead; the god who thunders on the land prepares it, not to be shaken from your track, implacable, in rancor for the son whose eye you blinded. one narrow strait may take you through his blows: denial of yourself, restraint of shipmates. when you make landfall on thrinakia first and quit the violet sea, dark on the land you'll find the grazing herds of helios by whom all things are seen, all speech is known. avoid those kine, hold fast to your intent, and hard seafaring brings you all to ithaka. but if you raid the beeves, i see destruction for ship and crew. which theme is reflected in the passage? it is important to take responsibility for your actions. long-term goals are more important than short-term gains. the true measure of wisdom is overcoming your pride. the advantage of travel is that it teaches you to value home.

Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.

but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they
butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.

Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen
Keller and then answer the question that follows.

The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.

Which of the following best summarizes the excerpt?
Helen's teacher taught her to finger spell doll so she knew how to tell her teacher what toy she wanted to play with.
Helen was excited to learn that everything had a name so that she could talk with her teacher.
Helen liked to touch all the objects in the house so she knew which ones she wanted to play with.
Helen's teacher taught her all objects have a name opening the world of language.

I will tell you a story that is only half true. I first went out of the country when I was about 20 years old. Some friends and I went to Hawaii on a vacation. During our trip, we spent most of the time lying around the beach.
One night, we went on a moonlight cruise. The boat we went on had a glass bottom, so we could see all the beautiful sea life floating underneath us. The moonlight would hit the glass just so, causing shadows to appear and the sea creatures to seem almost mythological. I think it’s one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. So enraptured with nature were we that we didn’t see the boat approaching ours.
Imagine my surprise when our boat tour was boarded by pirates. We were literally scared speechless. Luckily, they didn’t speak a language we could understand anyway. Everyone had to surrender all of their valuable items. I lost my camera with all of my pictures from our trip, the diamond studs I had received as a high school graduation present, and my favorite watch. But thank goodness that was all I lost. And the story I lived to tell was more than worth it.

were trimmed with tassels and gold epaulettes
and red sashes, pinned with his medals,
crisscrossing his chest. How he costumed himself
in dress uniforms and ceremonial hats and white
gloves-all of this in a tropical country where
men wore guayaberas in lieu of suit jackets,
short-sleeved shirts worn untucked so the body

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

The end of slavery was a great step for human rights. But what did it mean on the sugar plantations—which had depended on extremely cheap labor to keep up with the twenty-four-hour cycle from harvest to mill? In 1836, the same John Gladstone whose sugar estate had exhibited the chained body of the slave leader Quamina wrote to a shipping company. Gladstone asked it to provide a hundred workers (the slang name was "coolies") from India to labor on his plantations. Gladstone's first ships, the Whitby, carrying 249 passengers, and the Hesperus, carrying 244, sailed for Demerara in 1838.

What evidence do the authors include to support the central idea that the sugar plantations' cheap labor source changed from enslaved people to indentured Indians?

The sugar plantations depended on cheap labor.
The sugar plantations had a 24-hour cycle.
Gladstone asked the shipping company to provide workers.
Gladstone exhibited the chained body of Quamina.
