Read this excerpt from “O Captain! My Captain!” by Walt Whitman. What is the rhyme scheme?

Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the question that follows.

Smiley ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'klated to edercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.

What tone is created by Twain's use of dialect?

suspense

humor

happiness

conflict

Read the following excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass, by Fredrick Douglass and answer the question that follows.

The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the little white boys whom I met in the street. As many of these as I could, I converted into teachers. With their kindly aid, obtained at different times and in different places, I finally succeeded in learning to read. When I was sent of errands, I always took my book with me, and by doing one part of my errand quickly, I found time to get a lesson before my return. I used also to carry bread with me, enough of which was always in the house, and to which I was always welcome; for I was much better off in this regard than many of the poor white children in our neighborhood. This bread I used to bestow upon the hungry little urchins, who, in return, would give me that more valuable bread of knowledge. I am strongly tempted to give the names of two or three of those little boys, as a testimonial of the gratitude and affection I bear them; but prudence forbids;—not that it would injure me, but it might embarrass them; for it is almost an unpardonable offence to teach slaves to read in this Christian country.

Which of the following best summarizes the passages?

It was against the rules to teach slaves to read in white Christian country.

Frederick Douglass was wealthy while the white boys were poor.

Frederick Douglass couldn’t go to school because he had too many errands to do.

The white boys in his neighborhood taught him to read in exchange for pieces of bread.

What is the most accurate summary of "Minerva and Arachne"?
A.When Arachne weaves, forest nymphs show up to watch. One day, a nymph is watching Arachne weave and says,
"You must have learned from Minerva." Arachne becomes angry
with the nymph. All of the nymphs gasp in shock when Arachne screams that she has
taught herself to weave.
B.Arachne boasts that she is a better weaver than the Roman goddess Minerva. Minerva dresses as an old woman, intent on scolding Arachne for being so disrespectful to a goddess. Realizing Arachne is, indeed, a superior weaver, the furious Minerva turns the girl into the first spider.
C.Arachne is an excellent weaver. To trick her, Minerva comes to Arachne by walking with a cane. When she and Minerva have a weaving contest, they sit facing each other. Minerva weaves scenes of gods and goddesses. Then, she rips Arachne's cloth. Arachne becomes a spider for all eternity.
Arachne thinks that she weaves better than the Roman goddess Minerva. Arachne and
Minerva weave to see who is more skilled! When Minerva sees that Arachne's skills are
greater, she angrily turns Arachne into a spider. Arachne is very foolish to disrespect or challenge a powerful goddess.

Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

After the valuation, then came the division. I have no language to express the high excitement and deep anxiety which were felt among us poor slaves during this time. Our fate for life was now to be decided. We had no more voice in that decision than the brutes among whom we were ranked. A single word from the white men was enough--against all our wishes, prayers, and entreaties--to sunder forever the dearest friends, dearest kindred, and strongest ties known to human beings.

Douglass’s purpose in this excerpt is to

entertain the reader with a suspenseful story.
explain the difference between “valuation” and “division.”
argue that no one else can understand his pain.
inform the reader about the cruelty of slavery.
