Question 1
What inference can be made from the text "R.M.S. Titanic"?

Most of the people who fell overboard died instantly.

Larger lifeboats would have been able to save more people following the collision.

The wreck was located so far from other ships that rescuers could not arrive in time.

A lack of preparation and adequate safety measures caused chaos following the collision.
Question 2
Which evidence from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

"The women hang back; they want no boat ride on an ice-strewn sea; the Titanic is unsinkable. The men encourage them, explain that this is just a precautionary measure..."

"One of the collapsible boats, which had floated off the top of the officers’ quarters when the Titanic sank, was an icy haven for thirty or forty men."

"The boats were swung out—slowly, for the deckhands were late in reaching their stations; there had been no boat drill, and many of the crew did not know to what boats they were assigned."

"The foredeck is under water; the fo’c’sle head almost awash; the great stern is lifted high toward the bright stars; and still the band plays."

Answer:

Explanation:

From the text of "R.M.S. Titanic", it can be seen and inferred that the chaos that occurred on the Titanic in the aftermath of the collision was mainly down to a lack of preparedness on the part of the ship's staff.

This was evidenced by the part of the text shown in the answer where the deckhands had been late to their stations and had gone through no boat drills which are very necessary things when a boat is on the high seas as the threat of sinking is never truly far off.

Answer: 1A lack of preparation and adequate safety measures caused chaos following the collision.-part 2 for a"The boats were swung out—slowly, for the deckhands were late in reaching their stations; there had been no boat drill, and many of the crew did not know to what boats they were assigned."

Read this excerpt from “Upon Receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1950” by William Faulkner.

He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed—love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands.

Which viewpoint does Faulkner convey in the excerpt?

He is weary of reading stories that are poorly written and that have no conflict to overcome.

He thinks that writers who are fearful are cursed and will not achieve success in their careers.

He thinks that most writers write stories that have nothing important to say and will be forgotten.

He believes that writers must overcome their fears and write from the heart about global human truths.

Read the excerpt from “George W. Harkins to the American People.” We were hedged in by two evils, and we chose that which we thought the least. Yet we could not recognize the right that the state of Mississippi had assumed, to legislate for us.—Although the legislature of the state were qualified to make laws for their own citizens, that did not qualify them to become law makers to a people that were so dissimilar in manners and customs as the Choctaws are to the Mississippians. Admitting that they understood the people, could they remove that mountain of prejudice that has ever obstructed the streams of justice, and prevent their salutary influence from reaching my devoted countrymen. We as Choctaws rather chose to suffer and be free, than live under the degrading influence of laws, which our voice could not be heard in their formation. The Tenth Amendment states The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. Which option most accurately describes how Harkins applies the Tenth Amendment to strengthen his argument that the government has failed the Choctaw people?
He conveys the idea that the Choctaws should not have to conform to the legislation established by the state of Mississippi.

He expresses his concern that the state of Mississippi was not authorized to make any laws because it should have relied on the federal government to create all legislation.

He highlights the idea that the state of Mississippi was not competent to legislate for the Choctaws because of the differences between Choctaws and Mississippians.

He explains the issue that the Choctaw people are loyal citizens and should follow the same laws as everyone else.
