DEAR FRIEND THE DOCTOR,... I wish you were here, to spend the summer with us. We are perched on a hill-top that overlooks a little world of green valleys, shining rivers, sumptuous forests and billowy uplands velled in the haze of distance. We have no neighbors. It is the quietest of all quiet places, and we are hermits that eschew caves and live in the sun. (from Mark Twain's Letters by Mark Twain) 1 eschew avoid How do the underlined hyperboles affect the description of Twain's summer residence?

The underlined hyperboles affect the description of Twain's summer residence by evoking an oasis that seems private, peaceful, and isolated from the world. Option 3 is the correct answer. Twain's description of the location as a "little world of green valleys, shining rivers, sumptuous forests, and billowy uplands veiled in the haze of distance" creates a picturesque and idyllic image of the place. The use of hyperboles such as "quietest of all quiet places" and "hermits that eschew caves and live in the sun" further emphasizes the idea of seclusion and tranquility. Option 1 is incorrect because although the description is lush, it is not similar to Dr. Brown's Edinburgh. Option 2 is incorrect because it implies a location that is strange or uninhabitable, which is not the case here. Option 4 is incorrect because there is no mention of wild weather or rugged terrain in the excerpt.

Select the correct text in the passage. which detail best supports the writer’s idea that "statesmanship is not an abstract skill, but a contextual one"? adapted from lincoln the great by wilfred w. mcclay which brings us to the question of lincoln’s halfway measures, whose fuller context we need to remember. he rose to prominence as a politician who was antislavery but also anti-abolitionist. the strategy he preferred would have contained the spread of slavery, then gradually eliminated it—as opposed to overturning the institution in one grand liberatory1 gesture. such a position perhaps seems incoherent now, and it [lincoln’s strategy] failed in the end, since the south concluded that it could not trust president lincoln, who received not a single electoral vote from the south, to protect its "peculiar institution." but it was a position predicated on lincoln’s belief that the maintenance of the union was the key to all other political goods. we find it harder to swallow lincoln’s frank disbelief in racial equality and his support for african colonization schemes. that such positions were common, even mildly progressive, in his day does not count for much with us. but what should count for us is the fact that, in the maelstrom of war, lincoln overcame his disinclinations2 to see that the union could only be preserved if it sought to achieve something greater than its own survival. statesmanship is not an abstract skill, but a contextual one, highly specific to the circumstances it finds. it is irresistible to wonder what kind of leader lincoln would have been had there been no secession attempt after his election, or had he lived to be a postwar president. that the question is almost impossible to answer intelligently, though, tells us a great deal. lincoln was above all a war president. like it or not, that condition of history defined him. he was not elected to be such a president. he might have been no more effective in peacetime than andrew johnson was. and he might well have found out, as winston churc

Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:
President George W. Bush's speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue
to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken
unprecedented measures to defend the homeland- and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike
The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the side. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken
our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory
