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.

Bacchus granted Midas's wish for a golden touch.
Midas couldn't eat because of the wish Bacchus granted.
Midas entertained Silenus in his kingdom for ten days.
Midas recognized Silenus as Bacchus's teacher.
Silenus was found by peasants and carried to Midas.

Answer:

A and C

Explanation:

A because thats how the story originated the mystical "golden touch"

C because he would have never gotten the golden touch if he didnt bring Silenus.

(I may add that this is not part of my answer but a correction of the story. Bacchus is from Roman Mythology and Midas is from Greek so technically it shouldnt be Bacchus but the Greek Form Dionysus. Anyway thats it!)

Write a summary on the
article below about the rainbow flag, making sure to include only the most important information.

The rainbow flag first arose in the 1970s in San Francisco, California. In that era, many LGBTQ people had adopted the pink triangle as their symbol, but the bright shape had a dark past. In the 1930s and 1940s in Nazi Germany, gay men were persecuted. They were forced to wear a pink triangle badge to identify them. In 1978, Gilbert Baker, an artist and gay rights activist, decided to design a more hopeful symbol.

Baker wanted an emblem that would give people a sense of pride and belonging. Searching his surroundings, he saw something that did exactly that—the American flag. He made up his mind to create an LGBTQ flag, and its stripes were inspired by…nature! A rainbow is a range of different colors that form a harmonious whole. Baker saw it as an appropriate symbol to represent the diversity and unity of the LGBTQ community.

Making the first flags was a huge job. The original design was 30 feet by 60 feet (9.1 meters by 18.3 meters). It featured eight colors: pink, red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, and purple. Baker and a team of volunteers dyed and stitched together the material themselves. The completed flags debuted in San Francisco at a parade on June 25, 1978.

Baker's artistic handiwork made a big impression that day. Afterwards, he wanted his design to spread far and wide, so he put it into mass production. In 1979, the pink stripe was taken out because typical flag fabric wasn't readily available in that color. Turquoise was then removed to make an even number of stripes. The result was the six-color design most often seen today.

One banner year for the rainbow flag was 1994. Twenty-five years earlier, New York City police had raided an LGBTQ club called the Stonewall Inn. That sparked an uprising which became a catalyst for the gay rights movement. Baker honored the milestone by making a flag that was a mile (1.6 kilometers) long. The one-mile wonder has been credited with popularizing the rainbow flag around the world. But in 2003, to mark the 25th anniversary of the flag's creation in 1978, Baker outdid himself once again. He made a rainbow flag that was 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) in length.
Today, the rainbow flag is the most widely recognized international emblem of LGBTQ pride. Its colors are often used to show support for the community. One example was in 2015. After the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage throughout the United States, millions of people tinted their social media profile pictures with rainbow stripes.

Gilbert Baker died in 2017, but the design he dreamed up continues to inspire people in the LGBTQ community. The rainbow flag has passed the test of time…with flying colors.

Sightseers and swimmers walk up and down the boardwalk. On the left, as far as one can see, bright-colored umbrellas dot the white sand. Beyond the sand, the sun sparkles on the waves of the Atlantic breaking on the shore.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.
