Epigrams
By Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore was born in Calcutta, India into a wealthy family. As a teenager, he attempted to study law in London, but he decided to return to India and instead pursue a career as a writer, philosopher, and educator. He achieved some success by the age of 51 in his native of Calcutta through his poetry, songs, and plays. He returned to England for the first time since leaving in 1878 and decided to begin translating his poetry into English. He encountered an artist friend who he had met back in India, Rothenstein, and with much persuasion shared his poetry. Upon reading his friend's poetry, Rothenstein talked his friend W.B. Yeats into reading the works of Tagore in a hand-written notebook and later that year, Gitanjali was published in a limited edition by the India Society of London. He quickly became an instant sensation among London's literary circles and the world. He had a strong spiritual presence, his words evoked beauty, and his poetry was unheard of. The opportunity to peer into the mysticism of Indian culture through his words was revealed to the West for the first time in history. In less than a year, he would be nominated and would ultimately win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913.

Read the poem and answer the question.
[1]) wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd.
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay.
In such a jocund company.
I gazed-and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Line three signals a tone shift from sadness to
O concern
O curiosity
O humor

Read the excerpt from "Saying 'No' to Homework."

Working on homework late at night can disrupt sleep. Sleep is vital for the brain to work well. Students who don’t get enough sleep have a hard time remembering what they learned. They also have a hard time paying attention in class. They don't have to lose a great deal of sleep to feel the effects. Studies show that losing small amounts of sleep can have an impact.

One study looked at students in grades four and six. The researchers asked the students to change their sleep schedule for three nights. Some students got an extra hour of sleep. The others got one less hour of sleep each night. Then, the researchers tested the students. Students who lost an hour of sleep performed as if they were two grade levels lower than they really were. Other studies have also found that one extra hour of sleep makes a big difference. Giving up sleep to do homework isn't a good trade.

Which sentence is the best example of evidence that shows that sleep is more important than homework?

A.Working on homework late at night can disrupt sleep.
B.Students who don’t get enough sleep have a hard time remembering what they learned.
C.Students who lost an hour of sleep performed as if they were two grades lower than they really were.
D.Giving up sleep to do homework isn’t a good trade.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

At this he gave a mighty sob and rumbled:
'Now comes the weird upon me, spoken of old.
A wizard, grand and wondrous, lived here—Telemus,
a son of Euryinus; great length of days
he had in wizardry among the Cyclopes,
and these things he foretold for time to come:
my great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands.
Always I had in mind some giant, armed
in giant force, would come against me here.
But this, but you—small, pitiful and twiggy—
you put me down with wine, you blinded me.
Come back, Odysseus, and I'll treat you well,
praying the god of earthquake to befriend you—
his son I am, for he by his avowal
fathered me, and if he will, he may
heal me of this black wound—he and no other
of all the happy gods or mortal men.’

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Then,

his chores being all dispatched, he caught
another brace of men to make his breakfast,
and whisked away his great door slab
to let his sheep go through—but he, behind,
reset the stone as one would cap a quiver.

the Cyclops has eaten another bunch of Odysseus’s men.
Odysseus and his men are still trapped inside the cave.
