Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo.

They have sheep here that have no ears, nor even ear-holes; but in the place where ears ought to be they have little horns. They are small creatures and very pretty. And here is something else that may strike you as marvelous: their domestic animals—sheep, oxen, camels, and little ponies—are fed on fish. They are reduced to this diet because in all this country and in all the surrounding regions there is no grass; but it is the driest place in the world. The fish on which these animals feed are very small and are caught in March, April, and May in quantities that are truly amazing. They are then dried and stored in the houses and given to the animals as food throughout the year. I can tell you further that the animals also eat them alive, as soon as they are drawn out of the water.

Why does the author include information about the dry climate?

to explain why the sheep have horns but no ears
to explain why the sheep in the region are so small
to explain why people in the region have to feed their animals fish
to explain why there are such large quantities of fish available

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar and answer the question that follows.

Brutus
It must be by his death, and for my part
I know no personal cause to spurn at him
But for the general. He would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there's the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder
And that craves wary walking. Crown him that,
And then I grant we put a sting in him
That at his will he may do danger with.
Th' abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
Remorse from power. And, to speak truth of Caesar,
I have not known when his affections swayed
More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber upward turns his face.
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend. So Caesar may.
Then, lest he may, prevent. And since the quarrel
Will bear no color for the thing he is,
Fashion it thus: that what he is, augmented,
Would run to these and these extremities.
And therefore think him as a serpent's egg—
Which, hatched, would as his kind grow mischievous—
And kill him in the shell.

Which of these lines from the play indicates that Brutus fears giving Caesar power will make him dangerous? (5 points)

"And, to speak truth of Caesar/I have not known when his affections swayed/More than his reason."

excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms Speech
On January 6, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to Congress about the potential effect that World War II might have on the United
States and its policies. His address has since become popularly known as the Four Freedoms Speech
Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men within our
gates, so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations, large and small. And
the justice of morality must and will win in the end. Our national policy is this:
First, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to all-inclusive national defense.
Second, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to full support of all thoseosolute
peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war away from our Hemisphere. By this support, we express our
determination that the democratic cause shall prevail; and we strengthen the defense and the security of our own nation.
Third, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to the proposition that principles of
morality and considerations for our own security will never permit us to acquiesce in a peace dictated by aggressors and sponsored by
appeasers. We know that enduring peace cannot be bought at the cost of other people's freedom.

Read the passage from "The Goatherd and the Wild Goats."

A goatherd, driving his flock from their pasture at eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled among them, and shut them up together with his own for the night.

The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold.

He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own.

When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains.

The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd.

One of them, turning about, said to him: "That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves.”

Which statement accurately explains the theme most exemplified in this passage?

Good leaders treat everyone the same.
Kindness inspires others to be kind.
Strangers cannot always be trusted.
Ingratitude leads to unhappiness
