HAIKU
Five dead leaves falling
upward onto the branches
of a bare oak tree

THE END OF WINTER
As I approached, I startled a group of sparrows that had been feeding in the grass, and they flew up to the safety of an old oak tree. It was still early enough in the year that the branches of the tree were bare. But the bird songs and the warm sun made me feel certain that winter was ending. As I watched, the sparrows dropped from their high perches and settled again in the grass to hunt for food. Like winter, I was just an interruption.

What part of the story does the poem focus on?

A.
The fact that it still looks like winter
B.
The ways you can see that spring is coming
C.
What the trees look like before they get their leaves
D.
What the sparrows look like flying up into the oak tree

Many things that we use every day, like televisions, computers, refrigerators, and microwaves, require energy in order to work. We also rely on energy to make a car run and to heat water. All of the energy that we need to use must first be produced. Some sources of energy, such as gas and oil, can be harmful to the environment. Burning gas and oil can pollute the air. Also, gas and oil are limited, and we are using up the small amount that is left on the planet. This is why people should use alternative energy sources, which do not pollute the environment and are plentiful. Solar and wind energy are clean energy sources that should be used more often to reduce the pollution on Earth.

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes, —
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

Millicent was bold, brave, and no longer bothered by initiations. Upon reflection, Millicent realized that initiations didn’t really bother her. Thereafter, Millicent said yes to each initiation task without question. Millicent’s tense posture evaporated, and a smile curled on her lips.

Answers

The revision of this sentence that best uses direct characterization is:  Millicent was bold, brave, and no longer bothered by initiations.

Direct characterization is the way an author directly tells the audience what a character is like. He leaves nothing to the imagination about the character's attitudes and personality.

The use of words like bold, and brave, directly tells us that Milicent was not scared or bothered by the initiations.

. In what ways do you think that today’s ""Christmas spirit"" may be different from the Christmas spirit of Dickens’s time? How has the tone of Christmas changed?

Answers

The ways in which I think that today’s ""Christmas spirit"" may be different from the Christmas spirit of Dickens’s time is that:

While Dickens believe that the Christmas time was a period when people were more charitable and open to being more expressive, in today's Christmas spirit, there is much competition among peers and envy.

With this in mind. we can see that the way the spirit of Christmas has changed from Dickens time in A Christmas Carol was that Dickens believed that Christmas time was a period of giving, loving, forgiving and being more open with each other, there  is a slight difference today as people seem to be in competition with each other and are more envious.

1. On our … we were greeted by the head of the department. (ARRIVE)

Answers

We are supposed to use the word in parentheses to form a new word and fill in the blank. We can do it as follows:

1. On our arrival, we were greeted by the head of the department.

The word in parentheses, "arrive", is a verb. However, what the sentence needs is not a verb, but a noun.

The noun we must come up with needs to be derived from the verb "arrive". It must mean the action of arriving somewhere.

The only possible option is "arrival". It is formed by adding the suffix -al to "arrive" to transform it into a noun. Another example of using the suffix to make a noun out of a verb is "renew -renewal."

With that in mind, we can correctly complete the sentence as: On our arrival, we were greeted by the head of the department.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy
smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: It was a hobbit hole, and that moans

It had a perfect round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The
door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and
floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats - the hobbit was
fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill - The Hill, as all
the people for many miles round called it - and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on
another, No going upstairs for the hobbit: bedrooms, bathrooms, cellars, pantries (lots of these), wardrobes (he had
whole rooms devoted to clothes), kitchens, dining-rooms, all were on the same floor, and indeed on the same
