Read the passage and answer the question.
[1]Nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the
tree yuccas.Tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that
triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the Sierras and coastwise hills. The
yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old
[5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. After its death, which is
slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even
the moonlight fearful. But it isn't always this way. Before the yucca has come to flower, while
yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of
sugary sap, the Indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their
[10] own delectation.
Why does the author use the word "prize" to describe the bloom of the yucca tree (line 9)?
To communicate how rare it is to find the bloom
To emphasize the deliciousness of the bloom
To highlight the color and shape of the bloom
To show how to prepare the bloom for eating

Answer:
He is ashamed because his parents behave very selfishly with the arrival of Mr. Dussel.
Explanation:
"Diary of Anne Frank" is a play that seeks to reproduce the moments lived by Anne Frank's family while they were hiding to avoid being taken to the Nazi concentration camps. Anne Frank's family was Jewish and is hiding in a very small place together with the Van Daan family, who was also a Jewish family.
The two families live with little space and small amounts of food, however, Mr. Frank, decided to help yet another Jew to hide, Mr. Dussel. However, the Van Daan family did not like this idea and they behaved in a very bad manner when Mr. Dussel arrives in hiding. Mr and Mrs Van Daan are concerned about the amount of food now that they will have to feed one more person. This makes their son, Peter, very ashamed.
Peter is also embarrassed when everyone in hiding finds out that Mr Van Daan is stealing the food.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain (adapted excerpt)
Judge Thatcher hoped to see Tom a great lawyer or a great soldier some day. He said he meant to look to it that Tom should be admitted to the National Military Academy and afterward trained in the best law school in the country, in order that he might be ready for either career or both.
Huck Finn's wealth and the fact that he was now under the Widow Douglas' protection introduced him into society—no, dragged him into it, hurled him into it—and his sufferings were almost more than he could bear. The widow's servants kept him clean and neat, combed and brushed, and they bedded him nightly in unsympathetic sheets that had not one little spot or stain which he could press to his heart and know for a friend. He had to eat with a knife and fork; he had to use napkin, cup, and plate; he had to learn; he had to talk so properly that speech was become insipid in his mouth; the bars and shackles of civilization shut him in and bound him hand and foot.
What theme does the excerpt most clearly reflect?
A.
It reflects the theme of conflict between individual freedom and social expectations.
B.
It reflects the theme of isolation and lack of social connections.
C.
It reflects the theme of childhood expectations and their impact on future choices.
D.
It reflects the theme of innocence and the joys of being a child.
Answer:
A). It reflects the theme of conflict between individual freedom and social expectations.
Explanation:
The theme or central concern in the given excerpt is 'the clash between the individual liberty and the expectations of the society.' Judge Thatcher's belief that Tom would become a wonderful either a soldier or lawyer and even both symbolizes society's expectations while his struggle to attain his individual liberty is reflected through the description ('his sufferings were almost more than he could bear'). The extreme level of societal expectations compelled him to eat, learn, talk, and live as per their norms and didn't allow him to do things the way he wishes to do. These margins snatched his liberty completely and thus, there is a disagreement between his individual will and the way society wants him to be. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Read the following paragraph from a speech:
You, graduates, are among the luckiest citizens of the
world. You were born into a noble and civilized race of
people - and, moreover, a generous one, which seeks to
spread the knowledge and enlightenment it enjoys in this
place to other lands, where bands of savages have never
yet heard of or benefitted from the advantages we have to
share with them.
Which statement most strongly describes an implication of the paragraph?
O A. The speaker believes his country's presence is welcomed
overseas.
O B. The speaker believes that young citizens of his country are
cowardly.
O C. The speaker believes that his nation brings enlightenment to other
countries.
O D. The speaker believes his nation is better than most others.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The problem is that there is more than one choice that can be defended.
I don't think there is any statement that shows he believes the youth are cowardly. Not B
He doesn't imply that other nations welcome the youth being addressed. It's really not A.
D is really hard to get rid of. It is not stated directly, but I think it is implied. If you were writing an essay, you could easily argue that the speaker is implying that he believes that most countries are not as good as his.
I'd pick C, but don't be surprised if it is D.

HEY CAN ANYONE WRITE THE DEFINITION OF Socialism AND Dictatorship IN 2-3 SENTENCES IN UR OWN WORDS !!
Answer:
I. Socialism can be defined as an economic, social and political theory which asserts that the method of exchange, distribution, as well as the means of production of goods and services and ownership of properties should be controlled or regulated by the public (government) rather than the private sector.
II. Dictatorship can be defined as a type of government in which an individual who is a sole administrator is responsible for controlling, managing and directing the affairs of the particular country.
Explanation:
Socialism can be defined as an economic, social and political theory which asserts that the method of exchange, distribution, as well as the means of production of goods and services and ownership of properties should be controlled or regulated by the public (government) rather than the private sector. Thus, everyone living in the society has an equal share of the means of production used in producing the goods and services. Some examples of socialist countries are Vietnam, Cuba, China,
An authoritarian government is also known as dictatorship and it can be defined as a type of government in which an individual who is a sole administrator is responsible for controlling, managing and directing the affairs of the particular country. Therefore, they do not listen to anyone else but rather are saddled with the decision-making responsibilities without consulting any other government official.
Generally, it is characterized by a single leader (dictator) having absolute power and as such he or she makes all the rules, policies and decisions without consulting or taking suggestions from anyone else. Some examples of authoritarian government around the world are the government of Idi Amin of Uganda, Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union etc.
