Read the excerpt titled "Dogs vs Cats" by Sam Brown.
Canines are vastly superior to their feline counterparts.
Dogs have instincts ingrained in them to protect their
owners. Unlike cats, canines become attached to their
owners and show them affection Researchers found
that felines have no attachments to their owners and
are inherently independent creatures. Furthermore,
cats only show affection to their owners when they are
hoping to gain something from it. For example, a cat
will rub against its owner not to express loving feelings,
but rather to mark its territory.
Which sentence from the excerpt most signals bias?
Canines are vastly superior to their feline
counterparts.
O Dogs have instincts ingrained in them to protect their
owners.
Researchers found that felines have no attachments
to their owners and are inherently independent
creatures

express loving feelings, but rather, to mark its

Read the first stanza of "Auspex."

My heart, I cannot still it,
Nest that had song-birds in it;
And when the last shall go,
The dreary days to fill it,
Instead of lark or linnet,
Shall whirl dead leaves and snow.

The speaker compares his heart to an empty nest in order to
a. emphasize the fact that his love has left.
b. describe a physical feeling he is experiencing.
c. illustrate the positive qualities of his love.
d. explain the types of birds that he favors.

"That can never be necessary," cry the other side. "All men are privately influenced by women; each has his wife, sister, or female friends, and is too much biased by these relations to fail of representing their interests. And, if this is not enough, let them propose and enforce their wishes with the pen. The beauty of home would be destroyed, the delicacy of the sex be violated, the dignity of halls of legislation degraded, by an attempt to introduce them there. Such duties are inconsistent with those of a mother;" and then we have ludicrous pictures of ladies in hysterics at the polls, and senate-chambers filled with cradles.

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


If any one thing in my experience, more than another, served to deepen my conviction of the infernal character of slavery, and to fill me with unutterable loathing of slaveholders, it was their base ingratitude to my poor old grandmother. She had served my old master faithfully from youth to old age. She had been the source of all his wealth; she had peopled his plantation with slaves; she had become a great-grandmother in his service. She had rocked him in infancy, attended him in childhood, served him through life, and at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat, and closed his eyes forever.


Douglass’s purpose in this excerpt is to

A: praise the kindness and faithfulness of his grandmother.

B: mourn the death of a master who had been kind to him.

C: provide an example of the torment enslaved persons endure.

D: argue that enslaved persons should be set free when their master dies.
