José had looked forward to his first day of high school for as long as he could remember. Not only would he get to experience interesting classes and a stimulating social life, but he would also be able to enlist in the Student Activities Coordination Committee, which his older sister had been raving about for years.
On the first day of day of school, José spied a banner for the Student Activities Coordination Club and rushed over to investigate. He found a sign-up sheet for the group and scrawled his name on the list, pondering which activities he wished to plan.
At the committee’s annual inaugural meeting, the president and committee officers introduced themselves and detailed their plans for many of the committee’s regular activities. Then the president announced that she wanted to create a new activity this year, something to get the group more involved with volunteering and with the community. José inquisitively listened to the president’s request.
The president asked the members to think of a few ideas to tell at another meeting later in the week. José departed from the meeting pondering how his group could positively affect the community. José and his family had volunteered many times in the past. His parents had always instilled in him the idea that volunteering is invaluable because it makes the community a better place.
José tried to draw on his volunteering experiences to help him think of an activity for the committee. José reminisced about the time he doled out piping hot meals at a soup kitchen. He contemplated the time he and his dad had planted lush, green trees in the park. Suddenly, José recalled another volunteering experience. A number of years ago, he and his family had volunteered at the Bristol County Animal Shelter. While volunteering there, José had prepared food, washed animals, and cleaned the cages. He remembered that it was one of his favorite volunteering experiences.
José realized that the shelter had meager operating funds and that it relied on the generosity of the public to survive. This gave José a wonderful idea. He decided to suggest that the committee commence a walk-a-thon to raise money for the animal shelter!
At the committee meeting, members presented their ideas to the group. José wasn’t certain that his idea would be chosen because there were so many worthy causes mentioned by other students. When José had his chance to speak, he relayed his experiences volunteering at the shelter and gave a brief overview of his idea for the walk-a-thon; everyone adored his idea.
Upon hearing the news of the committee’s plans, the animal shelter workers were overjoyed. They asked if they could attend the event with some of the animals from the shelter. Over the next weeks and months, José led a team of his peers in planning and developing the plans for the walk-a-thon. They designed posters to advertise their cause and displayed them in local establishments all over town. They enlisted the help of their fellow students, friends, and family to find volunteers to walk and sponsors to donate money. They even solicited food and beverage donations so that all participants would have refreshments to enjoy.
On the day of the event, hundreds of people—and a few animals—arrived at the school’s track field to complete the walk. The turnout alone almost took José’s breath away, not to mention the enormous sum of money raised for the animal shelter; the event was a huge success. At the end of day, José gazed at the scene before him and smiled with pleasure, wondering if anything to come during the rest of his high school career could possibly provide him with a more valuable experience.

What is the theme of the poem “Spring and Fall” by Gerard Manley Hopkins?
Margaret, are you grieving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
Leaves like the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
Ah! as the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you wíll weep and know why.
Now no matter, child, the name:
Sorrow’s spríngs are the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
It is the blight man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.
A. Nature outlasts man.
B. Everything has a meaning.
C. All things must pass away.
D. Children are close to nature.

adapted from White Fang
by Jack London

And then she found the thing for which she sought. It was a few miles up a small stream that in the summer time flowed into the Mackenzie, but that then was frozen over and frozen down to its rocky bottom—a stream of solid white from source to mouth. The she-wolf was trotting wearily along when she came upon the overhanging, high clay-bank. . . The wear and tear of spring storms and melting snows had under-washed the bank and in one place had made a small cave out of a narrow fissure.
She paused at the mouth of the cave and looked the wall over carefully. Then, on one side and the other, she ran along the base of the wall to where its abrupt bulk merged from the softer-lined landscape. Returning to the cave, she entered its narrow mouth. . . It was dry and cozy. She inspected it with painstaking care, while her companion, who had returned, stood in the entrance and patiently watched her. She dropped her head, with her nose to the ground and directed toward a point near to her closely bunched feet, and around this point she circled several times; then, with a tired sigh that was almost a grunt, she curled her body in, relaxed her legs, and dropped down, her head toward the entrance. . . Her own ears laid their sharp points backward and down against the head for a moment, while her mouth opened and her tongue lolled peaceably out, and in this way she expressed that she was pleased and satisfied.


Which is the best summary of the passage?
A.
The stream is frozen over and frozen down to its rocky bottom. This allows the wolf to cross over where she finds a hidden cave to rest.
B.
The wolf, needing a place to rest, comes upon a cave hidden near a stream. After careful inspection of the cave, the wolf relaxes, and lays down to face the entrance of the cave.
C.
The wolf, traveling upstream, comes to the source of the river. The river is covered in snow. The wolf finds a hidden place to rest.
D.
The cave is hidden near the mouth of the stream. The wolf inspects the wall of the cave and decides that the cave is exactly what she was searching for.

what was Socrates's speech "apology" about

Very epic cool person if help very,

Read the excerpt from "We Are All Bound Up Together” by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper.

In advocating the cause of the colored man, since the Dred Scott decision, I have sometimes said I thought the nation had touched bottom. But let me tell you there is a depth of infamy lower than that. It is when the nation, standing upon the threshold of a great peril, reached out its hands to a feebler race, and asked that race to help it, and when the peril was over, said, You are good enough for soldiers, but not good enough for citizens.

What is emphasized by Harper’s word choice and syntax in the underlined portion of this excerpt?

the danger faced by Black soldiers
the bravery of the Black soldiers
the unfairness of the way Black Americans are treated
the anger of Black Americans after they return from war

And it's likely they'd have killed him had not Casey raised his hand.
