adapted from Lincoln the Great

by Wilfred W. McClay

We too will have our own Lincoln, or Lincolns, and there is good reason to believe that ours will be as partial as anyone else’s. But we should not be content with such easy relativism1. Out of respect to the man, we should at least try to recover a sense of both the grandeur and the contingency2 of the history that he lived through and helped to shape. To see a statesman in full, and thereby learn something about the nature of statesmanship, one needs to see him not only in the overly clear light of retrospection, but in the shadowy and inconclusive light of the conditions he faced as they were unfolding. “I claim not to have controlled events,” Lincoln mused during the course of his presidency, “but confess plainly that events have controlled me.”

Answer:

A

Explanation:

I hope this helps

The reason this is the best answer is found at the very end of the passage. Lincoln said that, events have controlled me." If he had been "master of his own fate," that would mean that he would have believed he could control the events in his life. But he believed the opposite, that events had controlled him. Therefore (A) is the best answer.

Read the passage carefully and then answer the question.

Two doors from one corner, on the left hand going east the line was broken by the entry of a court; and just at that point a certain sinister block of building thrust forward its gable on the street. It was two storeys high; showed no window, nothing but a door on the lower storey and a blind forehead of discoloured wall on the upper; and bore in every feature, the marks of prolonged and sordid negligence. The door, which was equipped with neither bell nor knocker, was blistered and distained. Tramps slouched into the recess and struck matches on the panels; children kept shop upon the steps; the schoolboy had tried his knife on the mouldings; and for close on a generation, no one had appeared to drive away these random visitors or to repair their ravages.

Mr. Enfield and the lawyer were on the other side of the by-street; but when they came abreast of the entry, the former lifted up his cane and pointed.

"Did you ever remark that door?" he asked; and when his companion had replied in the affirmative. "It is connected in my mind," added he, "with a very odd story."

"Indeed?" said Mr. Utterson, with a slight change of voice, "and what was that?"

The word in bold is an example of what kind of tone?

A. uninviting.

B. confusing.

C. exciting.

D. thrilling.

Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.

Philadelphia is a city known for many things. It is where the Declaration of
Independence was signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States.
But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known: it is home to nearly 3,000 murals
painted on the sides of homes and buildings around the city. In fact, it is said that
Philadelphia has more murals than any other city in the world, with the exception of
Rome. How did this come to be?
More than 20 years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program
pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city.
From this small project, something magical happened. The young people involved
helped to create magnificent pieces of art, but there were other, perhaps more important
benefits. The young people learned to collaborate and get along with many different
kinds of people during the various steps required to paint and design a mural. They
learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the
murals were completed. They also learned to take pride in their community. It is hard for
any resident to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.
Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia,
neighborhoods full of broken windows and littered front steps, and you will find beautiful
works of art on the sides and fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor
neighborhoods, but more affluent ones as well.
Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which
range from huge portraits of historical heroes, to cityscapes, to scenes depicting the
diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.
As a result of its success, the mural program created by Jane Golden has now
become the nation’s largest public art program and a model for other cities throughout the
country seeking to help troubled youth.
