Answer:

Explanation:

Both "To Roosevelt" and The Squatter and the Don address the theme that with power comes a responsibility to be careful and aware.In "To Roosevelt," Darío calls out the United States for being careless with power. Using personification, he says that when the United States" shakes itself there is a deep temblor/through the enormous vertebrae of the Andes." This figure of speech shows how small actions by the United States have a big impact in Latin America. Developing the theme further, he criticizes the United States for believing it can create progress through destruction: "You think . . . that progress is eruption," he says, bringing to mind an exploding volcano.In The Squatter and the Don, the carelessness of US power is represented by William Darrell, a prosperous settler who unknowingly stakes a claim on Don Mariano's land. Although he had promised his wife he would not squat on a Californio’s land, he is tricked into doing so by unscrupulous business associates, represented by Gasbang: "’This is what I call business,’ said Gasbang,. . . ‘and all inside of the law. That is the beauty of it—all perfectly lawful.’" Gasbang’s dialogue reveals that taking the Don’s land may be legal. But the narration of subsequent plot events suggests that Darrell’s claim is not ethical:The stakes having been placed, Darrell felt satisfied. . . . All would be done "according to law," in in this easy way more land was taken from its legitimate owner.Both writers suggest that the United States and its citizens should be more responsible with the power they wield, within US borders and beyond.

Excerpt from "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain" by Langston Hughes

...And so the word white comes to be unconsciously a symbol of all virtues. It holds for the children beauty, morality, and money. The whisper of "I want to be white" runs silently through their minds. This young poet's home is, I believe, a fairly typical home of the colored middle class. One sees immediately how difficult it would be for an artist born in such a home to interest himself in interpreting the beauty of his own people. He is never taught to see that beauty. He is taught rather not to see it, or if he does, to be ashamed of it when it is not according to Caucasian patterns."

Read this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer."

The disease was first detected in England in 1986, though some scientists think the very first cases started at least ten years before. Cows usually eat only grass and other plants, but farmers had been feeding them a meat and bone mixture that made the cows plumper. But somehow, at least one batch of the mixture had become contaminated with what was then an unknown killer: a prion.

By 1993, British farmers were reporting up to one thousand new cases of BSE a week. Governments all around the world reacted by increasing testing for the disease and not allowing any cows to be eaten if they were at risk of having the disease. As sheep can also get a prion disease called scrapie, they were tested as well. Farmers were angry that they were losing their livestock, and nobody knew how to protect cows and people from the disease.

Consumers were also in a panic when they learned about BSE, and for a very good reason: prions are infectious. If you eat a prion from a “mad cow” or sheep, you are at risk for developing a human version of BSE. The public felt betrayed that their governments had underreacted to the problem or covered it up.

Eventually, in 1997, governments began to ban farmers from feeding their livestock high-risk meat and bone mixtures. With that ban, the epidemic quickly peaked, and by 2010 had largely disappeared. Over the years, half a million cows and two hundred people had been killed by prions.

DIRECTIONS Read the paragraph below. Then use what you have learned about paragraph structure to answer the questions below.

Paragraph 9
Let’s set the stage. You are in your school’s drama club, but you are not an actor or an actress. Your job is to build the stage set for the school’s fall play. You have no experience? That’s fine. Your drama teacher will guide you and the other members of the club through each part of the process.
Your teacher has already designed the set and built a small model. Picture this model as a room with only three walls. If you were seated in the audience, you would see that the left wall has a window, the back wall has a door, and the right wall is solid. From this model, you will be able to begin planning. A good plan should take into account the time, supplies, tools, and people needed to complete the work.
Time is a critical element of any plan. Let’s say that it is the third week of September and that the play will be performed in the second week of November. That means you have seven weeks to plan and build the stage set. Their need reduces the amount of time you have to five weeks. Now, let’s say that the performers will need two weeks to rehearse on the actual set.
The next part of your plan involves figuring out what supplies you will need. You must make a list of the materials and tools necessary to build and decorate the set. For example, if the walls will be made out of large pieces of cardboard, you would add cardboard to your list, making sure to note the size of each wall. Similarly, if the door on the back wall opens, you would add a saw to your list. Then, you would add items to complete construction of the left and right walls. Finally, to complete your list, you would make note of any additional supplies and tools needed to decorate the set when it is built—paint, markers, stencils, paintbrushes, and dropcloths.

Write three transitional words found in the final paragraph.
