Picture this: a herd of elephants flies past you at sixty miles per hour, followed by a streak of tigers, a pride of lions, and a bunch of clowns. What do you see? It must be a circus train! One of the first uses of the circus train is credited to W.C. Coup. He partnered with P.T. Barnum in 1871 to expand the reach of their newly combined shows using locomotives. That's another word for train. You see, before trains, moving the circus was hard. They had to lug around all their animals, performers, and equipment with a team of more than 600 horses. Since there were no highways, these voyages were rough and took a long time. Circuses would stop at many small towns between the large venues. Performing at many of these small towns was not very profitable. Because of these limitations, circuses could not grow as large as the imaginations of the operators. After they began using circus trains, Barnum and Coup only brought their show to large cities. These performances were much more profitable and the profits went toward creating an even bigger and better circus. More stages or "rings" were added and the show went on. Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus relied on the train to transport their astounding show until they went defunct in 2017.

These days, fewer and fewer traditional incandescent lightbulbs are being used in homes. This is because lightbulb technology has improved since incandescent bulbs were developed. Incandescent bulbs work by running electricity through a wire inside the bulb. The wire glows, creating light. However, incandescent bulbs waste a lot of electricity by producing heat rather than light. In the past several years, less wasteful LED lights and compact fluorescent bulbs have become increasingly popular for home use.

Which option best evaluates how well the following summary reflects the original passage? Incandescent bulbs are a great form of technology.

A. The summary is weak because it does not accurately convey the meaning of the passage.

B. The summary is strong because it states the main idea of the passage and the most important supporting detail.

C. The summary is strong because it gives a good overview of the passage without getting into minor details.

D. The summary is weak because it focuses on a supporting detail rather than the main idea of the passage.​

Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

Unless you're trying to lose weight, nutritionists like to avoid diets. "We were just laughing about that, like we could sell fairy dust and that's pretty much what a lot of these fad diets are about," said Natalie Castro-Romero, the corporate dietician at Baptist who oversees the company's 15,000 employees. "One very common thing that happens is people feel overwhelmed and they need a starter to get something going, like a detox, but there’s no truth behind that." For some people, small changes can lead to big results.

Which statement best describes the author's argument in this part of the article?

A- Diet plans are helpful only for people who want to make a change.

B- People should not feel pressured to start living a healthier lifestyle.

C- People do not need to take drastic measures to start eating healthier.

D- Diet plans cause much more harm than people think they do.

Read the following excerpt from Alfred Noyes’s narrative poem "The Highwayman." Which three literary elements do these stanzas contain?


The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,

And the highwayman came riding—

Riding—riding—

The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.


He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,

A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.

They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh.

And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,

His pistol butts a-twinkle,

His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.


Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard.

He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred.

He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there

But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,

Bess, the landlord’s daughter,

Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.
