Read the passage from Hans Christian Andersen's "The Princess and the Pea."
Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it should be. So he came home again and was sad, for he would have liked very much to have a real princess.
One evening a terrible storm came on; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was heard at the city gate, and the old king went to open it.
It was a princess standing out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! What a sight the rain and the wind had made her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. And yet she said that she was a real princess.
"Well, we'll soon find that out," thought the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and laid a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses and laid them on the pea, and then twenty eider-down beds on top of the mattresses.

"Thank you kindly, wolf."

"To my grandmother's."
"What have you got in your apron?"

-"The Royal House of Thebes"
When the Roman soldiers burst in upon them, they found the great queen dead, with her daughters in her arms.

-"The Story of a Warrior Queen"

the tragic heroine
Read the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes."
Some hours later, Creon in the palace was startled by a shout, "Against your orders Polyneices has been buried." He hurried out to be confronted with the guards he had set on the dead body and with Antigone. "This girl buried him," they cried. "We saw her. A thick dust-storm gave her her chance. When it cleared, the body had been buried and the girl was making an offering to the dead." "You knew my edict?" Creon asked. "Yes," Antigone replied. "And you transgressed the law?" "Your law, but not the law of Justice who dwells with the gods," Antigone said. "The unwritten laws of heaven are not of today nor yesterday, but from all time."
Which universal theme is best represented in the excerpt?
Morality outweighs human laws.
There were seven champions to attack the seven gates of Thebes, and seven others within as bold to defend them. Eteocles defended the gate which Polyneices attacked, and Antigone and Ismene within the palace waited to hear which had killed the other. But before any decisive combat had taken place, a youth in Thebes not yet grown to manhood had died for his country and in his death had shown himself the noblest of all. This was Creon's younger son, Menoeceus.
How does the archetype presented in the excerpt support the universal theme of loyalty to one's country?
Eteocles defends Thebes against his own brother, proving his loyalty.
Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen."
When Boadicea saw that all hope was gone, she called her daughters to her. "My children," she said sadly, as she took them by the hand and drew them towards her, "my children, it has not pleased the gods of battle to deliver us from the power of the Romans. But there is yet one way of escape." Tears were in her blue eyes as she kissed her daughters. She was no longer a queen of fury but a loving mother.
Which archetype does Boadicea, the queen of the Britons, best represent?
At last the Roman leader was so downcast with his many defeats that he went himself to the British camp, bearing in his hand a green branch as a sign of peace. When Boadicea was told that an ambassador from the Romans wished to speak to her, she replied proudly, "My sword alone shall speak to the Romans." And when the Roman leader asked for peace, she answered, "You shall have peace, peace, but no submission. A British heart will choose death rather than lose liberty. There can be peace only if you promise to leave the country."
Which action best supports the idea that Boadicea is a warrior?
Boadicea tells the Roman leader that she will speak with her sword.
Read the excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes" and "The Story of a Warrior Queen."
Antigone and Ismene heard with horror what Creon had decided. To Ismene, shocking as it was, overwhelming her with anguish for the pitiful dead body and the lonely, homeless soul, it seemed, nevertheless, that nothing could be done except to acquiesce [to accept without protest]. She and Antigone were utterly alone. All Thebes was exulting that the man who had brought war upon them should be thus terribly punished. "We are women," she told her sister. "We must obey. We have no strength to defy the State." "Choose your own part," Antigone said. "I go to bury the brother I love."
"Is it not better to be poor and free than to have great wealth and be slaves?" she [Boadicea] asked. "And the Romans take not only our freedom but our wealth. They want to make us both slaves and beggars. Let us rise. O brothers and sisters, let us rise, and drive these robbers out of our land! Let us kill them every one! Let us teach them that they are no better than hares and foxes, and no match for greyhounds! We will fight, and if we cannot conquer, then let us die—yes, every one of us—die rather than submit."
How do the archetypes in these passages support the universal theme that one's values are worth risking one's life for?
Both Antigone and Boadicea are heroines who choose their values over their lives, knowing they may die in the process.
"We are women," she told her sister. "We must obey. We have no strength to defy the State." "Choose your own part," Antigone said. "I go to bury the brother I love." "You are not strong enough," Ismene cried. "Why, then when my strength fails," Antigone answered, "I will give up." She left her sister; Ismene dared not follow her.
Again and again the Romans were defeated, till it almost seemed as if the Britons really would succeed in driving them out of the country. Boadicea herself led the soldiers, encouraging them with her brave words. "It is better to die with honor than to live in slavery," she said. "I am a woman, but I would rather die than yield. Will you follow me, men?" and of course the men followed her gladly.
How are the themes presented in these two passages similar?
They both express the theme that women are as capable as men.
As she was led away to death, she spoke to the bystanders:—
. . . Behold me, what I sufferBecause I have upheld that which is high.
How does the archetype of tragic heroine reveal the universal theme?
Antigone sacrifices herself for her beliefs, but will not sacrifice her sister as well. This reveals the universal theme of taking responsibility for one's actions.
Antigone and Ismene heard with horror what Creon had decided. To Ismene, shocking as it was, overwhelming her with anguish for the pitiful dead body and the lonely, homeless soul, it seemed, nevertheless, that nothing could be done except to acquiesce [to accept without protest].

We have no strength to defy the State."
Which archetype does Ismene best represent?

The result was a wider distribution of folk tales, which were collected in books.

Read the excerpt from an essay about fairy tales.
The Grimms' fairy tales address the experiences of people who are living in difficult situations. For example, there is the story of Rapunzel. There is also the story of Hansel and Gretel, who had to escape their house in order to find food and were locked out.
Which revision would best help the author support the thesis more effectively?
The author should explain how Rapunzel's story fits into the thesis.
Read the excerpt from "How the Grimm Brothers Saved the Fairy Tale."
Though it is impossible to clarify fully why certain tales were deleted or placed in footnotes in later editions, we do know that "Death and the Goose Boy" was omitted because of its baroque literary features; "The Strange Feast," because of its close resemblance to "Godfather Death"; "The Stepmother," because of its fragmentary nature and cruelty; and "The Faithful Animals," because it came from the Siddhi-Kür, a collection of Mongolian tales. From the first edition in 1812/1815 to the final one in 1857, the Grimms received numerous versions of tales already in their collection and new tales from strangers, friends, and colleagues, and they often decided to replace one tale with another version, to delete some of the tales, or to include variants in their footnotes.
Which key details best support the main idea in this paragraph? Select three options.
-"...'Death and the Goose Boy' was omitted because of its baroque literary features;"
-"'The Stepmother' [was omitted] because of its fragmentary nature and cruelty;"
-"...'The Faithful Animals' [was omitted] because it came from the Siddhi-Kür...."
Turning to the tales of the first edition, a reader might notice that many of the stories such as "The Hand with the Knife," "How Some Children Played at Slaughtering," and "The Children of Famine," have nothing to do with fairies or happy endings. Instead, these are stark narratives about brutal living conditions in the nineteenth century. For instance, "The Children of Famine" begins this way:
Once upon a time there was a woman with two daughters, and they had become so poor that they no longer had even a piece of bread to put in their mouths. Their hunger became so great that their mother became unhinged and desperate. Indeed, she said to her children, "I've got to kill you so that I can get something to eat."
How does the author support the main idea in this paragraph?
with an example that shows a specific brutal living condition
When a text encourages the reader to believe or do something, the author's purpose is
to persuade.
In contrast to the final 1857 edition, most of the tales in the first edition are shorter and sparser. They have a rawness that was later to be refined. For example, "Rapunzel" is embellished a great deal in the final edition:
Once upon a time there lived a husband and wife who had been wishing for a child for many years, but it had all been in vain. Finally, the woman became pregnant.
Now, in the back of their house the couple had a small window that overlooked a fairy's garden filled with all kinds of flowers and herbs. But nobody ever dared to enter it.
Seventh Edition
Once upon a time there was a husband and wife who for quite some time had been wishing in vain for a child. Finally, the dear Lord gave the wife a sign of hope that their wish would be fulfilled. Now, in the back of their house the couple had a small window that overlooked a splendid garden filled with the most beautiful flowers and herbs. The garden, however, was surrounded by a high wall, and nobody dared enter it because it belonged to a sorceress, who was very powerful and feared by all.
Which idea does the author develop with the text example cited in the excerpt?
The Grimms embellished stories with more details in their final editions.
Between 1812 and 1857, seven editions of their tales appeared, each one different from the last, until the final, best-known version barely resembled the first. Given that the first edition has recently been honored in bicentenary celebrations throughout the world, it is perhaps a good time to reexamine what we think we know about the original tales of the Brothers Grimm.
What is the author's purpose in writing this paragraph?
to inform the reader that the text will take a second look at the Grimms' original tales
When Jacob (b. 1785) and Wilhelm (b. 1786) began collecting folk tales and songs at the beginning of the nineteenth century, they were precocious students at the University of Marburg, still in their teens. They grew up quite fast, plagued by money problems and caring for their siblings—their father died in 1796, leaving the once middle-class family in poverty. Their situation was further aggravated by the rampant Napoleonic Wars. Jacob interrupted his studies to serve the Hessian War Commission, although Wilhelm passed his law exams and found work as a low-paid librarian in the royal library. In 1807, Jacob lost his position with the War Commission, when the French occupied Kassel, but he was then hired as a librarian for the new King Jérome, Napoleon's brother, who now ruled Westphalia. Amidst all the upheavals, their mother died in 1808, and Jacob and Wilhelm became fully responsible for their three younger brothers and sister.
Which structure is used in this excerpt?
All of the tales in the first edition bear the marks of their diverse storytellers who believed in the magic, superstitions, and miraculous transformations of the tales. It may be difficult for us to understand why this is the case, but for the storytellers and writers of these tales, the stories contained truths about the living conditions of their times. The tales in the first edition were collected not from peasants, as is commonly believed, but mainly from literate people whom the Grimms came to know quite well. Evidence shows that these people often obtained their tales from illiterate or anonymous informants. Even if they did not know their informants, the Grimms came to trust almost everyone who contributed to their collection. It is this mutual trust that marks the tales as something special and endows them with a certain humanity, what Germans call Menschlichkeit, and it is this mutual trust among folklorists in the nineteenth century that marks it as the golden age of folk and fairy tales. The tales in the first edition set a certain standard that collectors began to follow and still follow even today.
What is the central idea of this excerpt?
The Grimms collected stories about real living conditions from people they trusted.

-distinguishing between key details and minor details
-citing evidence from the text to support the conclusion
-restating the most important points in the text in one's own words
Which element of a text best helps the reader determine the central idea?
Despite difficult personal problems and meager financial support from 1805 to 1812, the brothers proved themselves to be innovative scholars in the new field of German philology by publishing articles and books on medieval literature. In fact, they would be surprised to learn that they are more famous today for their tales than for their superb philological studies, which include pioneering work on German sound shifts, and the founding of the voluminous German Dictionary in 1854. But it was their training in philology and the demands that they placed on themselves as researchers that assisted their collecting and editing the tales.
Which idea does the author introduce first?
the brothers' ability to overcome difficulties to succeed as scholars
The stories the Brothers Grimm first collected are brusque, blunt, absurd, comical, and tragic, and are not, strictly speaking, "fairy tales." In fact, the Grimms never intended the tales to be read by children. The tales are about children and families and how they reacted to the difficult conditions under which they lived. The Grimms thought the stories and their morals emanated naturally from the German people in an oral tradition, and they wanted to preserve them before the tales were lost forever. In gathering the tales, the Grimms made a unique contribution to folklore, and their Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children and Household Tales) is even listed by UNESCO in its Memory of the World Registry. It was in large part their first edition, published in two volumes in 1812 and 1815, that inspired folklorists in Europe and Great Britain to gather tales from their oral traditions to preserve as part of their cultural heritage.
Which details best support the central idea of the excerpt? Select three options.
-The Grimms wanted to preserve German tales before the stories disappeared.
-The stories and their morals come from the oral tradition of the German people.
-The original stories told of the difficult lives of children and families.
How can a writer edit a narrative to include vivid imagery? Select three options.
-use specific, strong verbs in place of general ones
-use descriptive words that appeal to the reader's senses
-use active voice to show instead of tell the reader
Read the excerpt from Abra's narrative.
I fell asleep to the sound of the dog snoring at my feet. The next day, I woke up to discover it had worked its way up the bed to tuck its head under my arm. When my mother put down a dish of food for the dog, it looked at me as if to ask me if I thought it should eat. It became clear to all of us that this new, unexpected addition to the household would become my dog, so I'd have to think up a name for it.
What is the logical structure Abra uses for her narrative?

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I struck another match. "Aunt Mary, I'm just trying to get the stove started. Calm down. The starter is broken again, and I just have to light the gas."

-The dialogue shows that Kaydee is a calm person.
Read the excerpt from Rachel's narrative.
(1) I sat anxiously yet still in my chair, waiting for the large door to swing open and the dentist's assistant to shout, "Rachel, Rachel, you're next!" (2) I was a bundle of nerves and could even hear the rhythmic ticking of the shiny clock above the receptionist's window. (3) I wondered what the new dentist would be like and hoped he would be as nice as Dr. Jackson. (4) Finally, the door swung open and an unfamiliar man rushed into the waiting room with a brown clipboard, yelling, "Rachel? Rachel, you're next!" (5) Here we go, I thought as I was herded into the small, yellow-walled examination room and into the large, cushioned reclining chair. (6) Finally, after a few minutes, Dr. Perez casually strolled in and I was pleasantly surprised to be instantly relaxed and comforted by her presence.
(7) After a long check-up, Dr. Perez dismissed my unwarranted fears that I might have several deep, cavernous cavities. (8) The walk home was a slow, relaxing, and pleasant conclusion to a long, stressful day.
Which sentence, if added after sentence 6, would bestcreate a strong, descriptive image that helps to explain why Rachel feels comforted?
She was young yet carried herself with great confidence, and her clear eyes locked onto mine and oozed kindness.

Read the sentence from "The Crab That Played with the Sea."
Now, while the two were talking together, Pau Amma the Crab, who was next in the game, scuttled off sideways and stepped into the sea, saying to himself, 'I will play my play alone in the deep waters, and I will never be obedient to this son of Adam.'
The underlined words are an example of
Then the little girl-daughter put up her little soft brown arms with the beautiful white shell bracelets and said, 'O Eldest Magician! when my father here talked to you at the Very Beginning, and I leaned upon his shoulder while the beasts were being taught their plays, one beast went away naughtily into the Sea before you had taught him his play.
And the Eldest Magician said, 'How wise are little children who see and are silent! What was the beast like?'
And the little girl-daughter said, 'He was round and he was flat; and his eyes grew upon stalks; and he walked sideways like this; and he was covered with strong armour upon his back.'
And the Eldest Magician said, 'How wise are little children who speak truth! Now I know where Pau Amma went. Give me the paddle!'
So he took the paddle; but there was no need to paddle, for the water flowed steadily past all the islands till they came to the place called Pusat Tasek—the Heart of the Sea—where the great hollow is that leads down to the heart of the world, and in that hollow grows the Wonderful Tree, Pauh Janggi, that bears the magic twin nuts. Then the Eldest Magician slid his arm up to the shoulder through the deep warm water, and under the roots of the Wonderful Tree he touched the broad back of Pau Amma the Crab. And Pau Amma settled down at the touch, and all the Sea rose up as water rises in a basin when you put your hand into it.
Which group of sentences from the excerpt bestdemonstrates the author's reason for writing?
"And the Eldest Magician said, 'How wise are little children who see and are silent! What was the beast like?' And the little girl-daughter said, 'He was round and he was flat; and his eyes grew upon stalks; and he walked sideways like this; and he was covered with strong armour upon his back.'" "And the Eldest Magician said, 'How wise are little children who speak truth! Now I know where Pau Amma went. Give me the paddle!'"
Before the High and Far-Off Times, O my Best Beloved, came the Time of the Very Beginnings; and that was in the days when the Eldest Magician was getting Things ready. First he got the Earth ready; then he got the Sea ready; and then he told all the Animals that they could come out and play. And the Animals said, 'O Eldest Magician, what shall we play at?' and he said, 'I will show you. He took the Elephant—All-the-Elephant-there-was—and said, 'Play at being an Elephant,' and All-the-Elephant-there-was played. He took the Beaver—All-the-Beaver-there-was—and said, 'Play at being a Beaver,' and All-the Beaver-there-was played. He took the Cow—All-the-Cow-there-was—and said, 'Play at being a Cow,' and All-the-Cow-there-was played. He took the Turtle—All-the-Turtle-there-was—and said, 'Play at being a Turtle,' and All-the-Turtle-there-was played. One by one he took all the beasts and birds and fishes and told them what to play at.
Based on the details in the excerpt, what is its primary purpose?
to entertain
"'You are lazy,' said the Eldest Magician. 'So your children shall be lazy. They shall be the laziest people in the world.

How does repetition affect the narrator's tone?
Repetition of the word lazy makes the tone humorous.
Read the excerpt from "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe.
But these other apartments were densely crowded, and in them beat feverishly the heart of life. And the revel went whirlingly on, until at length there commenced the sounding of midnight upon the clock. And then the music ceased, as I have told; and the evolutions of the waltzers were quieted; and there was an uneasy cessation of all things as before. But now there were twelve strokes to be sounded by the bell of the clock; and thus it happened, perhaps, that more of thought crept, with more of time, into the meditations of the thoughtful among those who reveled. And thus, too, it happened, perhaps, that before the last echoes of the last chime had utterly sunk into silence, there were many individuals in the crowd who had found leisure to become aware of the presence of a masked figure which had arrested the attention of no single individual before. And the rumor of this new presence having spread itself whisperingly around, there arose at length from the whole company a buzz, or murmur, expressive of disapprobation and surprise—then, finally, of terror, of horror, and of disgust.
Based on the details in the excerpt, what is the primary purpose of this passage?
to thrill
Which aspects of a story best help the reader understand the author's purpose? Select three options.

Then Pau Amma thought a little and said, 'I have made my choice. I will take all the gifts.'
Then the Eldest Magician made a Magic with the right hand, with all five fingers of his right hand, and lo and behold, Best Beloved, Pau Amma grew smaller and smaller and smaller, till at last there was only a little green crab swimming in the water alongside the canoe, crying in a very small voice, 'Give me the scissors!'
And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand, and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors, and he waved them in his little arms, and opened them and shut them and snapped them, and said, 'I can eat nuts. I can crack shells. I can dig holes. I can climb trees. I can breathe in the dry air, and I can find a safe Pusat Tasek under every stone. I did not know I was so important. Kun?' (Is this right?)
Which sentence from the excerpt best demonstrates the author's reason for writing?
"And the girl-daughter picked him up on the palm of her little brown hand, and sat him in the bottom of the canoe and gave him her scissors, and he waved them in his little arms, and opened them and shut them and snapped them, and said, 'I can eat nuts.'"
Which details from the excerpt best support the conclusion that the narrator is speaking directly to a child? Select two options.
-the expression "Best Beloved"
-the clause "you can look them out on the map"
And Pau Amma? You can see when you go to the beach, how all Pau Amma's babies make little Pusat Taseks for themselves under every stone and bunch of weed on the sands; you can see them waving their little scissors; and in some parts of the world they truly live on the dry land and run up the palm trees and eat cocoa-nuts, exactly as the girl-daughter promised. But once a year all Pau Ammas must shake off their hard armour and be soft—to remind them of what the Eldest Magician could do. And so it isn't fair to kill or hunt Pau Amma's babies just because old Pau Amma was stupidly rude a very long time ago.
Oh yes! And Pau Amma's babies hate being taken out of their little Pusat Taseks and brought home in pickle-bottles. That is why they nip you with their scissors, and it serves you right!
Which evidence best supports the conclusion that the narrator is telling this story with a particular child in mind?
"Pau Amma's babies hate being taken out of their little Pusat Taseks and brought home in pickle-bottles. That is why they nip you with their scissors, and it serves you right!"
Read the passage from The Arabian Nights Entertainments.
Sire, there was once upon a time a fisherman so old and so poor that he could scarcely manage to support his wife and three children. He went every day to fish very early, and each day he made a rule not to throw his nets more than four times. He started out one morning by moonlight and came to the sea-shore. He undressed and threw his nets, and as he was drawing them towards the bank he felt a great weight. He thought he had caught a large fish, and he felt very pleased. But a moment afterwards, seeing that instead of a fish he only had in his nets the carcase of an ass, he was much disappointed.
Vexed with having such a bad haul, when he had mended his nets, which the carcase of the ass had broken in several places, he threw them a second time. In drawing them in he again felt a great weight, so that he thought they were full of fish. But he only found a large basket full of rubbish. He was much annoyed.
"O Fortune," he cried, "do not trifle thus with me, a poor fisherman, who can hardly support his family!"
So saying, he threw away the rubbish, and after having washed his nets clean of the dirt, he threw them for the third time. But he only drew in stones, shells, and mud. He was almost in despair.
The main character's motivation is to
support his wife and three children

Over the past year, half as many San Diegans stopped searching for work and dropped out of the labor force as those that found employment. Across the nation labor force numbers fell by 806,000 just in April, the largest one month decrease since labor statistics have been kept. The labor force participation rate, number of people available and either employed or seeking employment, has fallen to 62.8 percent, the lowest level since March 1978, and appears headed even lower. Every person dropping out of the labor market is one less taxpayer more likely to be dependent upon government support.

Barrier zone formation was studied in small branches of Ulmus Americana L., Prunus pensylvanica L.f., and Populus balsamifera L. following inoculation with Ophiostoma ulmi (Buism.) Nannf. (the Dutch elm disease pathogen). Barrier zones were continuous in the nonhosts whereas they were generally discontinuous in U. Americana; barrier zone formation also occurred at a later stage of infection in the latter than in the former. Barrier zones were formed of parenchyma cells and fibers in U. Americana, mainly of parenchyma cells in Prunus pensylvanica, and of fibers in Populus balsamifera. Fibers as a principal component of barrier zones are described for the first time. Histochemical tests revealed that the proportion of lignin was higher in barrier zone cell walls than in elements of the noninvaded xylem. Barrier zones contained suberized cells, the number of which was progressively greater in the order U. Americana, Prunus pensylvanica, and Populus balsamifera. However, many fibers of U. Americana occasionally formed a continuous barrier zone and had an internal layer that was slightly suberized. In addition, phenolic compounds were usually detected within barrier zone cells of these species.

DirecTV customers could lose WBNS Monday
Jessie Balmert
DirecTV customers could lose access to the Columbus-area CBS affiliate Monday morning if the two business don't come to an agreement on fees.
Dispatch Media Group, which owns WBNS-CBS in Columbus, is threatening to cut off access to DirecTV viewers in the central Ohio area unless DirecTV pays "a 400 percent mark-up just to receive the same CBS shows that remain available over the air for free," Thomas Tyrer, a DirecTV spokesman, wrote in a company statement.
"We will always work to prevent our customers from enduring any unnecessary interruptions and ask for their patience because it will have a direct impact on their bill," Tyrer said.
A statement on WBNS' website states the company is working hard to reach a fair agreement and avoid any interruption in service.
"Unfortunately, at this time, we have been unable to reach an agreement, and may not be able to do so before Sunday night," WBNS wrote.
At issue is retransmission consent — a 1992 federal law that requires cable and satellite providers, such as DirecTV, to ask broadcasting providers, such as WBNS, for permission to carry their programs, from local news to comedy shows.
The number of blackouts have increased dramatically in recent years — from 12 in 2010 to 127 last year — according to the American Television Alliance, which has petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to change the 1992 rules.
The most recent blackout in Ohio was in April when a dispute between Hearst Television and DISH Network cut service to Cincinnati, among other cities. Dispatch Broadcast's most recent blackout was in September 2012 during a dispute with DISH Network, according to the American Television Alliance.
WBNS service will remain accessible to people with other cable and satellite providers, such as Time Warner Cable, AT&T U-Verse, WOW! and DISH. Programs also will be available online.
