Reаd the excerpt frоm “Hоw а Flоwer аnd Fish Changed the Niobrara River” by Lusha Tronstad: Historically, native plants like cattails, willows and bull rush grew in the river and the adjacent flood plain. And abundant native fish like brassy minnow and creek chub swam in the river. But two invasive species, yellow iris and northern pike, have changed the Niobrara. To determine these changes, Agate Fossil Beds and University of Wyoming scientists measured the river’s physical characteristics and inventoried its animals from 2010 to 2019. Our unpublished data show that stream depth, width, and flow increased during the last decade. Aquatic invertebrates became more diverse, but we collected fewer sensitive species, suggesting a decrease in water quality. Other studies show that native fish declined. These changes have profound consequences for the river’s other inhabitants. We also investigated a new sampling method for aquatic invertebrates, which are good indicators of river health. Which of the following quotations from the excerpt supports the inference that the introduction of invasive species has negatively impacted native fish populations in the Niobrara River?

Reаd the Preаmble tо the U.S. Cоnstitutiоn: We the People of the United Stаtes, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Which of the following best analyzes the literary significance of this excerpt?
Reаd the excerpt frоm Susаn B. Anthоny’s “On Wоmen’s Right to Vote”: It wаs we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot. Which of the following best identifies the author’s purpose in this excerpt?
Reаd the excerpt frоm The Picture оf Dоriаn Grаy by Oscar Wilde: “The story is simply this,” said the painter after some time. “Two months ago I went to a crush at Lady Brandon’s. You know we poor artists have to show ourselves in society from time to time, just to remind the public that we are not savages. With an evening coat and a white tie, as you told me once, anybody, even a stock-broker, can gain a reputation for being civilized. Well, after I had been in the room about ten minutes, talking to huge overdressed dowagers and tedious academicians, I suddenly became conscious that some one was looking at me. I turned half-way round and saw Dorian Gray for the first time. When our eyes met, I felt that I was growing pale. A curious sensation of terror came over me. I knew that I had come face to face with some one whose mere personality was so fascinating that, if I allowed it to do so, it would absorb my whole nature, my whole soul, my very art itself. I did not want any external influence in my life. You know yourself, Harry, how independent I am by nature. I have always been my own master; had at least always been so, till I met Dorian Gray. Then—but I don’t know how to explain it to you. Something seemed to tell me that I was on the verge of a terrible crisis in my life. I had a strange feeling that fate had in store for me exquisite joys and exquisite sorrows. I grew afraid and turned to quit the room. It was not conscience that made me do so: it was a sort of cowardice. I take no credit to myself for trying to escape.”(1) “Conscience and cowardice are really the same things, Basil. Conscience is the trade-name of the firm. That is all.”(2) “I don’t believe that, Harry, and I don’t believe you do either. However, whatever was my motive—and it may have been pride, for I used to be very proud—I certainly struggled to the door. There, of course, I stumbled against Lady Brandon. ‘You are not going to run away so soon, Mr. Hallward?’ she screamed out. You know her curiously shrill voice?”(3) “Yes; she is a peacock in everything but beauty,” said Lord Henry, pulling the daisy to bits with his long nervous fingers.(4) What is the impact of the author's choice to introduce Dorian Gray through Basil’s perspective?

Reаd the excerpt frоm Jаne Eyre by Chаrlоtte Brоntë: There was no possibility of taking a walk that day. We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating, that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question. I was glad of it: I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed. The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mama in the drawing-room: she lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her (for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy. Me, she had dispensed from joining the group; saying, “She regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation, that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner—something lighter, franker, more natural, as it were—she really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy, little children.” How does the setting of the Reed household affect the characterization of the narrator?
