Read the passage.

It might not be well known, but there is a desert in North America. It spans along the western side of the continent, from southern Oregon to northern Mexico. It is mostly contained in the arid area between the Rocky Mountains to the east and the fertile coast of the Pacific Ocean to the west. Researchers estimate that the desert is between 500,000 and 730,000 square miles.

Differences of latitude, elevation, climate, topography, vegetation, soil, and human use have divided the desert into a cold region and a hot region. The cold region of the desert is known as the Great Basin Desert. This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states. South of this basin is the Mojave Desert, which is the hot region of the North American Desert. This area covers much of California, southern Nevada, and some of Mexico.

As a desert, the area is arid because of high evaporation, extreme temperatures, high winds, localized storms, and sun-beaten land. Life in the desert is a struggle for humans. People do live in this desert, but the pockets of people are dispersed and isolated. Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region. Despite the harsh conditions, a surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home. In fact, some species can only be found in the desert.

What evidence does the author use to support the idea that there are people who live in the desert?

This area covers almost all of Nevada, western Utah, and sections of the neighboring states.
Native Americans and European settlers have added to the population of the region.
A surprising number of plants, animals, and reptiles make the desert their home.

Nor things recounted done of old.

No Candle e'er shall shine in Thee,

Nor bridegroom's voice e'er heard shall be.

In silence ever shalt thou lie,

Adieu, Adieu, all's vanity.

Then straight I 'gin my heart to chide,

And did thy wealth on earth abide?

Didst fix thy hope on mould'ring dust?

The arm of flesh didst make thy trust?

Raise up thy thoughts above

the sky

That dunghill mists away may fly.

Thou hast a house on high erect

I

Framed by that mighty Architect,

With glory richly furnished,

Stands permanent though this be fled.

It's purchased and paid for too

By Him who hath enough to do.

A price so vast as is unknown,

Yet by His gift is made thine own;

There's wealth enough, I need no more,

Farewell, my pelf, farewell, my store.

The world no longer let me love,

My hope and treasure lies above.

Question 5 (10 points)
Read the following poem and answer the question that follows.
"O Captain my Captain by Walt Whitman
O Captain my Captaint our fearful trip is done
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring
But heart heart heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captaint my Captaint rise up and hear the bells
Rise up for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths for you the shores a crowding
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning
Here Captain dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead,
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will:
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object wong
Exult, Oshores, and ring O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

Acting on the doctor's advice, we went immediately to Washington to see Dr. Bell, my father with a sad heart and many misgivings, I wholly unconscious of his anguish, finding pleasure in the excitement of moving from place to place. Child as I was, I at once felt the tenderness and sympathy which endeared Dr. Bell to so many hearts, as his wonderful achievements enlist their admiration. He held me on his knee while I examined his watch, and he made it strike for me. He understood my signs, and I knew it and loved him at once.

Decide whether each statement is an example of plagiarism.
Helen Keller expressed admiration for Alexander Graham Bell in her autobiography (Keller 12).
I at once felt the tenderness and sympathy which endeared Dr. Bell to so many hearts (Keller 12).
Alexander Graham Bell was in favor of teaching deaf people to speak, rather than sign.

We were taught to believe that the Great Spirit sees and hears everything, and that he never forgets; that hereafter he will give every man a spirit-home according to his deserts: if he has been a good man, he will have a good home; if he has been a bad man, he will have a bad home. What central idea of the speech is illustrated by this excerpt? Man should act cautiously because the Great Spirit is not very forgiving. The way a man chooses to live his life directly affects the quality of his life. A man will have a much more lavish home if he is good to those around him. Only those who are good to others will eventually receive a spirit-home.

When driven with his mates to the new owners' camp, Buck saw a slipshod and slovenly affair, tent half stretched, dishes unwashed, everything in disorder; also, he saw a woman. "Mercedes" the men called her. She was Charles's wife and Hal's sister – a nice family party. Buck watched them apprehensively as they proceeded to take down the tent and load the sled. There was a great deal of effort about their manner, but no businesslike method. . . . Three men from a neighboring tent came out and looked on, grinning and winking at one another. —The Call of the Wild, Jack London Why is Buck concerned about being with Hal, Charles, and Mercedes? He is worried that they will attack. He fears they will not be able to take care of him and the other dogs. He thinks they will sell him to someone who is worse than his previous owners. He is afraid that they will strip him of his role as lead dog.
