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

I was eager to hear any one speak of slavery. I was a ready listener. Every little while, I could hear something about the abolitionists. It was some time before I found what the word meant. It was always used in such connections as to make it an interesting word to me. If a slave ran away and succeeded in getting clear, or if a slave killed his master, set fire to a barn, or did any thing very wrong in the mind of a slaveholder, it was spoken of as the fruit of abolition. Hearing the word in this connexion very often, I set about learning what it meant. The dictionary afforded me little or no help. I found it was "the act of abolishing;" but then I did not know what was to be abolished. Here I was perplexed.

Read the excerpt from "Pakistan's Malala." But what do you do when you're 11? You go to the playground and you play, so that's what they did. Some of the girls said they thought everything would work out. They'd be back, they said. Malala wanted to be hopeful, too. But before she left, she turned around and took one long look at the building. Malala was right about the edict and what it meant. After January 2009, she was forced to stay at home and read books, Ellick said. Eventually she was moved around the country where she attended ad-hoc schools. How did the setting of Malala's education change after the Taliban took over Swat Valley? She had to read at home or attend school in secret locations. She joined other children at the playground to read and study. She stopped trying to pursue an education in any way. She continued to attend the same school she had before.

Which four parts of this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" describe the narrator's opinion of the sea as a hostile entity?


A singular disadvantage of the sea lles in the fact that after successfully surmounting thing wave you discover that there is another behind it just
as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats. In a ten-foot dinghy one can get an idea of
the resources of the sea in the line of waves that is not probable to the average experience, which is never at sea in a dinghy. As each slaty wall
of water approached, it shut all else from the view of the men in the boat, and it was not difficult to imagine that this particular wave was the
final outburst of the ocean, the last effort of the grim water.

At this moment Quartermaster George Thomas Rowe was standing watch on the after bridge. For him too, it had been an uneventful night – just the sea, the stars, the biting cold. As he paced the deck, he noticed what he and his mates called ‘whiskers ’round the light’ – tiny splinters of ice in the air, fine as dust, that gave off myriads of bright colours whenever caught in the glow of the deck lights.

Then suddenly he felt a curious motion break the steady rhythm of the engines. It was a little like coming alongside a dock wall rather heavily. He glanced forward – and stared again. A windjammer, sails set, seemed to be passing along the starboard side. Then he realized it was an iceberg, towering perhaps a hundred feet above the water. The next instant it was gone, drifting astern into the dark.
