I took the quiz :)

The excerpt from “Rip Van Winkle” that best shows that Washington Irving finds humor in the Van Winkles’ relationship is - “A termagant wife may, therefore, in some respects, be considered a tolerable blessing; and if so, Rip Van Winkle was thrice blessed.” Therefore option D  is the correct response.

Washington Irving was an early 19th-century American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat. Rip Van Winkle and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, both of which may be found in his book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent, are his two best-known short stories.

Despite drawing inspiration from European authors, particularly German mythology and tales, he developed a distinctively American accent that was both lofty and sarcastic. He made use of pictures to give his readers a sense of the Hudson Valley's scenery.

When Irving was 19 years old, he started writing as a journalist under the alias Jonathan Oldstyle. He covered Aaron Burr's treason trial as a reporter for his brother Peter's newspaper The Morning Chronicle. From 1804 to 1806, Irving had a "great tour" of Europe, which his family funded him.

Passage: (1) Our school needs more active student participation. If we want to keep enjoying great programs and activities, more students need to get involved.

(2) Last year, the student government sponsored one school-wide event each month. More than 50 percent of the students in our school attended at least four of these events. In addition, programs such as the peer tutoring program (“Study Buddies”) and the summer intern bulletin board are organized by student government committees and supported by student government fundraisers. At least 40 percent of the school’s students take advantage of one of these programs as well. Yet, only 10 percent of the school’s students are active in student government or serve on committees.

(3) Effective student government requires the involvement of as many students as possible. We can’t keep these programs going without your help. So if you aren’t already involved in student government, think about joining.
