Question 5 Worth 10 points)
(MC) Which question relates to finding the theme of a text?

Answer:

D. What lesson did I learn from this story?

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

In a story, the theme is actually known to be the underlying message the author is trying to convey. It is seen to be the central idea of the story. From the theme of the story, the reader can catch the lesson the writer is trying to convey.  From that theme, the lesson the person learns actually connects to the theme.

When a reader actually knows the theme of a story, it enables that reader to know what is on the author's mind while writing the story.

Read the excerpt from "Freedom Walkers” by Russell Freedman.

In October 1955, several months after Claudette [Colvin] was convicted, Mary Louise Smith, an eighteen-year-old black girl, was arrested when she refused to move to the back of the bus so a white woman could take her seat. "[The driver] asked me to move three times,” Smith recalled. "And I refused. I told him, ‘I am not going to move out of my seat. I am not going to move anywhere. I got the privilege to sit here like anybody else does.’”

Smith’s case did not create the furor that the Colvin case did, because Smith chose to plead guilty. She was fined five dollars. Once again, Nixon decided that Smith, like Colvin, wasn’t the right person to inspire a battle against bus segregation.

What key detail develops the idea that Smith "wasn’t the right person to inspire a battle against bus segregation”?

She was arrested “several months after Claudette [Colvin] was convicted.”
She was “an eighteen-year-old black girl.”
“Smith chose to plead guilty.”
“She was fined five dollars.”

Read this excerpt from Act III, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.

Benvolio: Here comes the furious Tybalt back again.

Romeo: Alive! in triumph! and Mercutio slain!
Away to heaven, respective lenity,
And fire-ey’d fury be my conduct now! 90
Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again
That late thou gav’st me; for Mercutio’s soul
Is but a little way above our heads,
Staying for thine to keep him company:
Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him. 95

Tybalt: Thou wretched boy, that didst consort him here,
Shalt with him hence.

Romeo: This shall determine that. [They fight: TYBALT falls.]
How does this complication contribute to the central conflict of the play?

When Romeo kills Tybalt, he increases the friction with Juliet’s family.
When Romeo kills Tybalt, he impresses friends with his bravery.
When Romeo avenges Mercutio’s death, the prince is grateful.
When Romeo avenges Mercutio’s death, Romeo is injured.

Read this description of Phippsburg from Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

So [Turner] went on toward the sea. He passed the yellow-shuttered house, half wishing that Mrs. Hurd were on the porch. He passed the picket fence of Mrs. Cobb's, steering as clear of it as if it were the wall of Jericho about to fall. He kept his face to the sea breeze as the line of white houses at the end of Parker Head sputtered, revived in a solid row, and finally gave out and let the road twist by itself up into cedars.

Turner held himself to a slow walk, his hands politely out of his pockets. (Who knew if Mrs. Cobb might still be watching him from some murky spot where dark things lurked?) But as he climbed into the thicket of trees and the air grew cooler, and as the road thinned to a path, and as the cedars gave way to birches, then aspens, then pines, Turner felt as though he were taking off the black robes that enveloped his father.

What aspect of Phippsburg contributes to Turner’s internal conflict at this point in the story?

The town is very small, and everybody can observe and comment on what Turner is doing.
The town is built by the sea, and Turner is afraid of one day being unexpectedly swept away by the high waves of the ocean.
The town is occupied mainly by women who remind Turner of characters and places from the Bible.
The town’s houses are all white and look the same, which makes the town seem boring, which makes Turner want to leave.

Voluntourism: An Opportunity Too Good to be True

A Speech to the Student Body of Evergreen High

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

How does the speaker's rhetorical question in paragraph 2 support the purpose of the speech?

It emphasizes the need for willing and wealthy volunteers to bring help to those less fortunate.
It highlights how unfair life can be for certain groups of people throughout the world.
It reinforces the idea that voluntourism can harm the people and communities it is meant to help.
It reminds the audience that there are some who fight the injustice associated with voluntourism.

Apollo 13, by Jim Lovell and Jeffery Kluger:
“Houston, we’ve had a problem,” Lovell repeated. “We’ve had a main B bus undervolt.”
Which of the sentences below most correctly and effectively incorporates this source material? (Either APA or MLA style citations are acceptable.)

Apollo 13 (1994) describes Lovell’s famous call to Mission Control: “Houston,” he said calmly, “we’ve had a problem” (p. 103). He went on to add, “We’ve had a main B bus undervolt” (p. 103).

In their 1994 book, Apollo 13, astronaut Jim Lovell and his co-writer Jeffery Kluger write on page 103: “Houston, we’ve had a problem,” Lovell repeated. “We’ve had a main B bus undervolt.”

After the explosion, Lovell (1994) radioed Mission Control to say “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” What a cool response to disaster! (103)

Apollo 13 reveals that Lovell’s famously calm radio call to Mission Control, “Houston, we’ve had a problem,” is often misquoted, but that doesn’t diminish his cool response to disaster (103).

from "Was it a Dream?"
by Guy de Maupassant

On turning round I saw that all the graves were open, that all the dead bodies had emerged from them, and that all had effaced the lies inscribed—engraved or written on the gravestones by their relations, substituting the truth instead.

And I saw that all had been the tormentors of their neighbors—malicious, dishonest, hypocrites, liars, rogues, calumniators, envious; that they had stolen, deceived, performed every disgraceful, every abominable action, these good fathers, these faithful wives, these devoted sons, these chaste daughters, these honest tradesmen, these men and women who were called irreproachable. They were all writing at the same time, on the threshold of their eternal abode, the truth, the terrible and the holy truth of which everybody was ignorant, or pretended to be ignorant, while they were alive.

I thought that SHE also must have written something on her tombstone, and now running without any fear among the half-open coffins, among the corpses and skeletons, I went toward her, sure that I should find her immediately. I recognized her at once, without seeing her face, which was covered by the winding-sheet, and on the marble cross, where shortly before I had read:

"She loved, was loved, and died."

I now saw:

"Having gone out in the rain one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold and died."

* * * * * * *

It appears that they found me at daybreak, lying on the grave unconscious.

It surprises both the narrator and the reader by revealing the dead woman's character.
It supports a claim made by the narrator at the beginning of the story.

How would you rewrite the following sentence to make it correct?

(1) The nation's energy use is largely dependent on fossil fuels. (2) These fuels are nonrenewable resources, and they cause pollution. (3) We cannot continue our reliance on a fuel that will eventually run out. (4) Thus, we must find other ways to sustain our energy demands. (5) Pursuing alternative fuel sources is the key to solving our energy crisis. (6) Through different technologies, such as solar cells, scientists have learned to use the sun's radiation to create electricity. (7) Currently, about 1 percent of energy in the United States is produced by the sun, and solar energy has the potential to become a more widely used energy source. (8) Solar energy is both inexhaustible and clean. (9) The major limit to this alternative source is that equipment is expensive. (10) Developing a cost-effective way to harness the power of the sun will be a significant development in solving our energy crisis.
