Read these lines from the passage.

The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.

How does the alliteration of the “s” sound affect the meaning?


It reinforces that the person is slipping toward death.


It creates a sense of desperation.


It simulates the voice of an elderly person.


It emphasizes that these lines are about the sixth stage.

<3

The following passage from the Counterpoint essay (paragraph 16)
mainly shows that ...
Skinner defined motivation in terms of such reinforcement, explaining
that behavior that receives reinforcement will recur, and behavior that
receives punishment will cease to occur. Reinforcement may be positive,
as in the addition of something pleasant such as praise or treats. It may
be negative, as in the removal of something unpleasant when a certain
behavior occurs. Punishment, too, may involve application of something
unfavorable or removal of something favorable.
O There is no direct correlation between incentives and learning
O Although positive reinforcement works, it is relatively ineffective if it isn't
coupled with negative consequences.
O The use of either positive or negative reinforcement is an effective teaching
tool.
when a punishment is used to stop negative behavior, it makes the recipient
feel ashamed and causes them to stop the behavior

Benefits of Frozen Food
In today's fast-paced life, having a freshly cooked meal every day may not be practical. To deal with this problem, people have the option of frozen food. Freezing is a good way to preserve the taste and color of most foods. Freezing stops microbes, which are small microorganisms, from growing on the food, and helps to keep food fresher for a prolonged period.
Frozen foods are also useful because supermarkets can store them for a long time, so one can buy frozen fruits and vegetables all year round, without seasonal boundaries. Furthermore, frozen foods make cooking much easier and quicker, because most frozen foods are already half-cooked, chopped, or cut. These half-cooked frozen foods often contain a lot of preservatives such as salt and sugar, which are bad for health. But, they also help make life simpler for those who do not have the time to cook food from scratch. For example, a frozen apple pie is already put together—all one has to do is bake it.
At home, people can cook a number of dishes when they have the time. In fact, there is no comparison to a delicious, hot meal cooked at home with the freshest ingredients. However, frozen foods can be stored for several weeks or months, making them the best choice if one wants to have meals that are instantly ready for consumption.


Which evidence supports the author's point that frozen food is the best option for a fast-paced life?
A.
Frozen fruits and vegetables are available all year round in supermarkets.
B.
Some frozen foods are already half-cooked, which saves time in cooking.
C.
Frozen foods can be stored for a long time without damage.
D.
Freezing food prevents microbes from growing on it.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich shows that Ivan Ilyich finally understands the cause of his suffering?

Suddenly some force struck him in the chest and side, making it still harder to breathe, and he fell through the hole and there at the bottom was a light. What had happened to him was like the sensation one sometimes experiences in a railway carriage when one thinks one is going backwards while one is really going forwards and suddenly becomes aware of the real direction.


"Yes, it was not the right thing," he said to himself, "but that's no matter. It can be done. But what is the right thing? he asked himself, and suddenly grew quiet.


This occurred at the end of the third day, two hours before his death. Just then his schoolboy son had crept softly in and gone up to the bedside. The dying man was still screaming desperately and waving his arms. His hand fell on the boy's head, and the boy caught it, pressed it to his lips, and began to cry.


At that very moment Ivan Ilyich fell through and caught sight of the light, and it was revealed to him that though his life had not been what it should have been, this could still be rectified. He asked himself, "What is the right thing?" and grew still, listening. Then he felt that someone was kissing his hand. He opened his eyes, looked at his son, and felt sorry for him. His wife camp up to him and he glanced at her. She was gazing at him open-mouthed, with undried tears on her nose and cheek and a despairing look on her face. He felt sorry for her too.


"Yes, I am making them wretched," he thought. "They are sorry, but it will be better for them when I die." He wished to say this but had not the strength to utter it. "Besides, why speak? I must act," he thought. with a look at his wife he indicated his son and said: "Take him away...sorry for him. ..sorry for you too. ..." He tried to add, "Forgive me," but said "Forego" and waved his hand, knowing that He whose understanding mattered would understand.
