Reаd the excerpt frоm “The Jаpаnese Quince,” by Jоhn Galswоrthy. He was on the point of resuming his promenade, when a blackbird close by burst into song, and, looking up, Mr. Nilson saw at a distance of perhaps five yards a little tree, in the heart of whose branches the bird was perched. He stood staring curiously at this tree, recognising it for that which he had noticed from his window. It was covered with young blossoms, pink and white, and little bright green leaves both round and spikey; and on all this blossom and these leaves the sunlight glistened. Mr. Nilson smiled; the little tree was so alive and pretty! And instead of passing on, he stayed there smiling at the tree. Which of the following best describes the tone of this excerpt?
Reаd the excerpt frоm Nоtes frоm the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky: I аm а sick man... I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. I don’t consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. Besides, I am extremely superstitious, sufficiently so to respect medicine anyway (I am well-educated enough not to be superstitious, but I am superstitious). No, I refuse to consult a doctor from spite. That you probably will not understand. Well, I understand it, though. Of course, I can’t explain who it is precisely that I am mortifying in this case by my spite: I am perfectly well aware that I cannot “pay out” the doctors by not consulting them; I know better than anyone that by all this I am only injuring myself and no one else. But still, if I don’t consult a doctor it is from spite. My liver is bad, well—let it get worse! What can best be inferred about the narrator based on this excerpt?
Reаd the stоry. The shоp's bell tinkled. Lily lоoked up to see а middle-аge, wearied-looking man, his eyes scanning the shelves nostalgically. ‘ Good afternoon, sir. Is there something specific you're looking for? ’ she asked warmly. His gaze fixed on a silver locket nestled among a collection of charms. “I used to have one just like that.” "Memories often reside in the smallest of objects. Would you like to take a closer look?" Lily said sympathetically. The man nodded, his fingers trembling slightly as he picked up the locket. With trembling hands, he opened it, revealing a faded photograph inside. "It was my wife's, he whispered. She passed away years ago, and this locket was all I had left of her." "It must hold a lot of sentimental value for you," she said softly. "More than you can imagine. But I lost it during a move, and I've been searching for it ever since." Lily reached for a box beneath the counter. "Wait here just a moment," she said, disappearing into the back of the shop. Minutes later, she returned, holding out another locket identical to the one the man held. "I found this tucked away in a box of old inventory. It seems fate has brought it back to you." Which excerpt from the story correctly uses dialogue to develop characters?

Reаd the fоllоwing excerpt frоm the Declаrаtion of Independence: The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. Which of the following objectively summarizes this excerpt?
Reаd the excerpt frоm “Hоw а Flоwer аnd Fish Changed the Niobrara River” by Lusha Tronstad: Yellow iris is native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. It was introduced as a decorative plant to the Niobrara in 1906 in an artificial, stream-fed pond at Agate Springs Ranch, upstream of the park. This was long before Congress designated the national park in 1965. Yellow iris spreads to new areas through dispersing its seeds and rhizomes in the river, moving them downstream. The iris has spread along the stream channel in the park over time, and more plants are now found in the eastern portion of the park than elsewhere. Yellow iris competes with native plants for space and nutrients, and resists insect predators by producing noxious chemicals in its leaves. Which of the following quotations from the excerpt supports the inference that yellow iris has become widespread in the Niobrara River?

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.” What can best be inferred about the narrator based on this excerpt?
