Read the excerpt from E.O. Wilson's "The Environmental Ethic."
Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also
pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or
more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020
unless better efforts are made to save them.... As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the
Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinction
rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot be
balanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.
What message does the author convey in this excerpt?
Answer:
In recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased.
Explanation:
The options you were given are the following:

Manuela is working on visualizing the setting in this excerpt from "Nothing but Net.”
The neighborhood didn’t feel the same, though. The shoebox-sized store on the corner was closed because Mr. Hallas, the owner, had moved to Florida.
Which descriptive language did Manuela most likely connect with to help her visualize the setting?
the neighborhood didn’t
shoebox-sized store
closed because
had moved to
The correct answer is "shoebox-sized store"
Explanation:
The setting includes the place where a story occurs and this is related to the geographical features of the place such as the existence of mountains or a forest, the location of the place, and even the buildings in this place. Moreover, this setting is explained to the reader by using descriptive language that allows the reader to imagine or visualize a location. This is better exemplified in "shoebox-sized store" because this detail refers to the buildings in this place, which is part of the setting, and it allows the reader to imagine the specific store by using words that explain the store is rather small.

Which detail from “Run, Kate Shelley, Run” best supports the idea that people feel Kate should be rewarded for her actions?
A)“And after her death, the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen placed a memorial to their Iowa heroine.”
B)“The same telegraph that had warned Ogden Station to hold the midnight express sent news of Kate’s bravery from city to city.”
C)“Then the people of Iowa awarded her a gold medal, and the railroad gave her one hundred dollars and a lifetime railroad pass.”
D)“While Kate lay in bed recovering from that terrible night, every train passing the farmhouse blew its whistle in her honor.”
Answer:
C)“Then the people of Iowa awarded her a gold medal, and the railroad gave her one hundred dollars and a lifetime railroad pass.”
Explanation:
The detail from “Run, Kate Shelley, Run” that best supports the idea that people feel Kate should be rewarded for her actions is option C.
This is because, the people are awed by what Kate has done and truly believe that she should be fairly compensated and for that they gave her a gold medal, the railroad gave her a hundred dollars and a lifetime pass.
The detail that most adequately backs the idea that people believe Kate must be given reward for her deeds would be:
C). “Then the people of Iowa awarded her a gold medal, and the railroad gave her one hundred dollars and a lifetime railroad pass.”
The quotation "Then...pass" most adequately backs the idea regarding people's opinion that Kate needs to rewarded for her noble actions. The detail about her receiving "gold medal...one hundred dollars...railroad pass" shows that her actions require a better and fair reward. This also shows people owe her a lot and therefore, wants to compensate her for it.

The correct response is - It demonstrates that, like himself, his strategy is uncomplicated, realistic, and doable.
What is colloquial language?Colloquialism is the linguistic approach utilized for informal communication. It is also known as colloquial language, daily language, or general parlance. It is the most prevalent functional speech pattern and the idiom that is typically used in casual settings like a conversation.
Words like "y'all," "going to," and "want to" are examples of informal colloquialisms, as are phrases like "old as the hills" and "graveyard dead," and occasionally a full aphorism like "There's more than one way to skin a cat" and "He needs to step up to the plate."
Expressions and language used informally include slang, casual terms, and phrases. They were employed by authors to engender a sense of society and neighborhood. Often, an author's work will reflect the way they communicate verbally.

Think about the experiences you've had with dramatic texts, including seeing live performances or film adaptations. How does the era in which a play was written affect your ability to enjoy it or understand it? How is it different to read or see a play written more than two millennia ago (such as tragedies and comedies from ancient Greece) compared to a few centuries ago (for example, Shakespeare or others from the Renaissance) or one produced in the last 100 years?
Is there something like a modern sensibility to more recently written dramatic works that helps you connect better to them than to works from past centuries? Are there traits in older forms of drama that engage you because they are NOT modern? Describe the traits of drama that keep you engaged as well as characteristics that make it challenging to do so.
Answer:
1. The era in which a play was written affects the ability of reader’s/spectator’s ability to enjoy it or understand it due to the lack of context, such as social norms (which change with every era), historical events which were the influence or inspiration for the dramatic word.
2. The difference in reading or seeing a play written more than two millennia ago such as tragedies and comedies from ancient Greece compared to a few centuries ago such as Shakespearean ones or one produced in the last 100 years is in the form of drama. Greek and Shakespearean drama are continuation of the same tradition but they have different forms and context. What makes these old dramas popular in modern time is their everlasting themes.
3. There certainly is. Modern sensibility helps you to connect better to the more recently written dramatic works that than to works from past centuries, as the context is much closer and therefore even more personal and understandable. But, that sometimes isn’t the matter, for example with Avant-Garde dramas.
4. Speaking from myself, yes, there are certain traits in older forms of drama that engage me more in older dramas because they don’t have a modern form or sometimes theme. When you engage in an artistic work it is according to your own sensibility.
5. The traits of drama that keep modern people engaged are mostly the context which influences the capability to understand it better and therefore to engage in it. The characteristics that make it challenging to do so are mostly the forms and language which is confusing and most likely failed to deliver what author actually wanted to achieve, like in Avant-Garde and Postmodernism dramas.
