Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai and then answer the question.

Eleven eyes. When at last he dared to look up, what he noticed was their eyes. Each pair a different color: green as a stormy sea, blue as the sky, black as night, or brown as his own. One man had only one eye, and that one as gray as a cloudy day. The other eye was covered with a patch.

There did not seem to be any tails, horns, or fangs among them. There were some alarmingly hairy faces and plenty of big noses, though!

Six big noses, in fact: one long and hooked, two long and straight, one squashed and wide, one turned up at the end, and another as big and red as a radish.

Based on this excerpt, what can readers infer about the stories the fishermen were told about the barbarians?



The stories are completely true.
The stories lack detail.
The stories are completely false.
The stories are exaggerations.

Answer:

from Message Regarding Labor
Legislation (March 25, 1908)
by Theodore Roosevelt
I call your attention to certain measures as to which
think there should be action by the Congress before the
close of the present session. There is ample time for
their consideration. As regards most if not all of the
matters, bills have been introduced into one or the other
of the two Houses, and it is not too much to hope that
action will be taken one way or the other on these bills at
the present session. In my message at the opening of the
present session, and, indeed, in various messages to
previous Congresses, I have repeatedly suggested action
on most of these measures.
Child labor should be prohibited throughout the
Nation. At least a model child-labor bill should be passed
for the District of Columbia. It is unfortunate that in the
one place solely dependent upon Congress for its
legislation there should be no law whatever to protect
children by forbidding or regulating their labor.
I renew my recommendation for the immediate
reenactment of an employers' liability law, drawn to
conform to the recent decision of the Supreme Court.
Within the limits indicated by the court, the law should
be made through and comprehensive, and the

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damask’d, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go—
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

—“Sonnet 130,”
William Shakespeare

Which line best supports an interpretation that the poem is sincere and serious?

“If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head”
“But no such roses see I in her cheeks”
“That music hath a far more pleasing sound”
“And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare”

Read the following informational paragraph.
There are several different ways that people can reduce energy consumption at home or at work. Leaving devices like tablets or smartphones plugged in all the time can cause a slow drain on power, as well as affecting the ability of the batteries to keep a
charge. Leaving a television turned on when you're not in a room can also create large amounts of energy consumption over the
course of a year. My older sister leaves her television on all the time while she is at work or school even though she complains about her electricity bills. Another way to save power is to deactivate automatic ice makers that come standard in many
refrigerators and use ice trays instead. Keeping appliances like blenders and microwaves plugged in also causes a steady drain on power, because it automatically keeps the circuit active, even if it's not being used often. Small efforts can add up to big savings and a positive impact on the environment as a whole. Which of the following sentences should be eliminated from the paragraph in order to maintain focus on its central point?
A
Leaving devices like tablets or smartphones plugged in all the time can cause a slow drain on power, as well as affecting the ability of the batteries to keep a charge.
B
