Which of the following best summarizes the first two parts of "The Monkey's Paw"?

Mr. White uses the monkey's paw to wish for money to pay off his mortgage. When a stranger arrives at the house, the Whites learn their son has died in a work accident. The stranger gives the Whites two hundred dollars and explains that the company does not take responsibility for their son's death.

The White family is given the monkey's paw by an old friend who warns them to be careful when they wish on the paw. After the old friend leaves, Mr. White sees a frightening face in the fireplace flames and decides to ask for money to pay off the mortgage on his house.

The White family entertains a guest who brings the monkey's paw into their home. The guest warns against making wishes on the monkey's paw. Mr. White ignores this advice and wishes for money, which he receives from his son's employer after the son is killed in a work accident.

A visitor brings the monkey's paw into Mr. and Mrs. White's home and warns them not to use it. The Whites' son, Herbert, makes fun of the monkey's paw. When Mr. White finally makes a wish on the paw, Herbert dies. Both Herbert and Mr. White should have listened to the visitor's warning.

The option that best summarizes the first two parts of "The Monkey's Paw" is the third one, "The White family entertains a guest who brings the monkey's paw..."

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.

She returned; with her own hands cleared her knitting
apparatus and a book or two from the table, to make
room for the tray which Leah now brought, and then
herself handed me the refreshments. I felt rather
confused at being the object of more attention than I
had ever before received, and, that too, shown by my
employer and superior; but as she did not herself seem
to consider she was doing anything out of her place, I
thought it better to take her civilities quietly.

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.

men wore guayaberas in lieu of suit jackets,
