Which two sentences in the excerpt suggest that Policles loved quality music?
The Contest
by Arthur Conan Doyle (adapted excerpt)
The blue-clad player struck several chords upon his lyre, and then burst suddenly out into the "Ode of Niobe," and Policles sat straight up on his
bench and gazed at the stage in amazement. The tune demanded a rapid transition from a low note to a high, and had been purposely chosen
for this reason. The low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog. Then suddenly the singer threw
up his face, straightened his figure, rose upon his tiptoes, and with wagging head and scarlet cheeks emitted a howl. All the while the lyre
twanged and thrummed, sometimes in front of and sometimes behind the voice of the singer. But what amazed Policles most of all was the
effect of this performance upon the audience. Every Greek was a trained critic, and as unsparing in his hisses as he was lavish in his applause.
Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven from the platform, but now, as the man stopped and wiped the abundant sweat
from his face, the whole assembly burst into a delirium of appreciation. The shepherd held his hands to his bursting head and felt that his
reason must be leaving him, for it was surely a dreadful musical nightmare, and he would wake soon and laugh at the remembrance. But no, the
figures were real, the faces were those of his neighbours, and the cheers which resounded in his ears were indeed from an audience which filled
the theatre of Olympia. The whole chorus was in full blast, the hummers humming, the shouters bellowing the tappers hard at work upon the
benches, while every now and then came a musical cyclone of "Incomparable! Divine!" from the trained phalanx who intoned their applause.
their united voices sweeping over the tumult as the drone of the wind dominates the roar of the sea. It was madness-Insufferable madness! If
this were allowed to pass, there was an end of all musical justice in Greece. Policles' conscience would not permit him to be still. Standing upon
his bench with waving hands and up-raised voice, he protested with all the strength of his lungs against the mad judgment of the audience.

Which statement best describes the author’s likely purpose for proposing questions in paragraph 1

A. to show that money is the most important factor in happiness

B. to prompt readers to consider how money affects their happiness

C. to prompt readers to imagine what they would do with extra cash

D. to show that experts are unsure how money affects one’s happiness



People often have conflicting ideas about whether or not money can buy happiness. Some believe that the

lifestyle that money can offer is equivalent to happiness, while others fear that money can lead to

greediness that can never be satisfied. In this study, psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus

Deaton seek the answer to this question. As you read, take notes on the different definitions of happiness

that exist and how they are affected by money.

How much money do you think it would take to

make you happy? Would an extra $10,000 a year

do it or would it take a $100,000 salary bump to

improve your mood?

A new study from Princeton economist Angus

Deaton and psychologist Daniel Kahneman

suggests that number depends on how you

define happiness. The authors draw a distinction1

between emotional well-being, “the quality of a

person’s everyday experience such as joy,

fascination, anxiety, sadness, anger, and

affection,” and life evaluation, “a person’s

thoughts about his or her life (on a longer time

scale).”

Their study of data from the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index found that while “life evaluations rise

steadily with income,” emotional well-being drops off at about $75,000 a year.

Beyond $75,000, money is important for life evaluation but does nothing for happiness, enjoyment,

sadness, or stress. Both factors are important; it is good to have high emotional well-being, but it is

also good to think your life is going well.

According to the most recent census2

data, the median U.S. household income was $52,000 in 2008,

with about a third of households making above $75,000.

Coming Soon to a Neighborhood to You
The most interesting do-it-yourself-trend in recent years may be that of keeping
chickens as pets—not in an agricultural or rural setting, but rather in a typical suburban
neighborhood, in the backyard. It’s not as hard as you may think, and start-up costs are
surprisingly low.
The first thing you need to become a suburban chicken farmer is a coop, a solid
enclosed structure where the hens can sleep safely away from predators, and where
they can lay their eggs during daytime hours. A simple chicken coop can be made
cheaply using cast-off plywood or old wooden pallets, for which there are an abundance
of free blueprints available online.
The next challenge is finding a feed store—where most of the supplies you’ll need can
be found. Feed stores generally offer a cheap bedding material such as pine shavings
as well as prepared food to supplement the plants and bugs that chickens can find in a
reasonably healthy backyard. Then there are the chickens themselves, which range in
price from a couple bucks for a chick to ten or fifteen dollars for a mature, feathered-out
bird. (Most seasoned backyard farmers recommend starting with mature hens.) Of
course, it you want to raise your hens from chicks, you’ll need a warming light as well as
some other equipment.
Chickens are surprisingly entertaining family pets. They’re friendly and amusing to
watch, and not especially noisy unless you have a rooster, which aren’t usually allowed
in urban or suburban zoned areas. Unless you live in a really cold climate, your
chickens will thrive outdoors even during the winter, and there are breeds that are
particularly cold hardy. Some hens will complain loudly when the temperatures dip near
freezing for the first time. If you started putting them in their coop at sunset, though,
they’ll weather the winter just fine.
When spring arrives, you will be the happy recipient of a daily bounty of eggs. But there
are many more advantages to backyard chicken farming. Chickens can be a real asset
to an organic vegetable garden—both because they eat bugs and because they provide
free fertilizer. They’re also willing consumers of food that’s just past its prime, like
apples that are shriveled and mealy, bread kept in the pantry past its freshness date, or
berries that are just a little too ripe.
Finally, urban chicken farming can do a great deal to bring neighbors together. Sharing
information about coops, chicken varieties, and tips for raising a happy and healthy flock
can help you build a supportive network of like-minded friends in your community. Even
if you don’t have neighbors with coops of their own, they’re likely to appreciate an
occasional gift of what your hens produce, especially since some breeds are known for
laying eggs in soft shades of blue and green.

In the last paragraph, what mistake in reasoning does the author make when she includes the claim that chicken farming "can do a great deal to bring neighbors together"? Is that claim supported by the rest of the article?

Passage 1
Passage 2
This brief essay by author and college professor Charles
Augustus Eggert was published in California in 1913 as part
of the collection Why I Am Opposed to Socialism: Original
Papers by Leading Men and Women. Socialism' was a
popular and controversial theory at that time, four years
before the Russian Revolution. No government had yet tried
to put the theory of socialism into practice.
Why I Am Opposed to Socialism
by Charles Augustus Eggert
I am opposed to Socialism, first, because it is
not an inductively obtained system, but an
"ism that postulates qualities in the
individuality of a nation which no nation, or
community even, has yet developed to a
sufficiently high state to make this ism" fit to
be seriously tried.
