The Railway Train
Emily Dickinson, 1896
I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step
Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare
To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill
And neigh like Boanerges1;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.
1The name of a thoroughbred race horse famous in North America in the late 19th century

opens on a dark and stormy night as the three members of the White family relax inside their cozy house. Herbert White and his father are playing a game of chess while Mrs. White knits near the fire. After his son wins, Mr. White complains about the terrible weather and nearly deserted road they live near.
A family friend, Sergeant-Major Morris, arrives for a visit. Over whisky, he tells stories of his exploits abroad. Mr. White expresses interest in going to India, but the sergeant-major says he would be better off staying at home. At Mr. and Mrs. Whites’ urging, Sergeant-Major Morris takes a small, mummified paw out of his pocket. He explains that a fakir (a mystic miracle worker) placed a spell on the paw to prove that people’s lives are governed by fate and that it is dangerous to meddle with fate. According to the sergeant-major, three men can wish on the paw three times each. The sergeant-major himself has already had his three wishes, as has another man, who used his third wish to ask for death. The sergeant-major has considered selling the paw, but he doesn’t want it to cause any more trouble than it already has. Moreover, no one will buy the paw without first seeing proof of its effect. The sergeant-major throws the paw into the fire, and Mr. White quickly rescues it. The sergeant-major warns him three times to leave the paw alone, but he eventually explains how to make a wish on the paw.
Mrs. White says the story reminds her of the Arabian Nights and jokingly suggests that her husband wish her a pair of extra hands to help her with all her work. The sergeant-major doesn’t find this joke funny, however, and urges Mr. White to use common sense if he insists on wishing. After supper and more tales of India, the sergeant-major leaves. Herbert says he thinks the sergeant-major is full of nonsense and jokes that his father should make himself an emperor so that he doesn’t have to listen to Mrs. White’s nagging. In mock anger, Mrs. White playfully chases her son.
Mr. White says he has everything he wants and isn’t sure what to wish for. Herbert says that two hundred pounds would enable them to pay off the money owed for the house. Mr. White wishes aloud for two hundred pounds as Herbert accompanies him with melodramatic chords played on the piano. Mr. White suddenly cries out and says that the paw moved like a snake in his hand. After Mr. and Mrs. White go to bed, Herbert sits by the fire and sees a vividly realistic monkey face in the flames. He puts out the fire, takes the monkey’s paw, and goes to bed.
Part II begins on the next morning, a sunny winter day. The room seems cheerful and normal in contrast to the previous evening’s gloomy atmosphere and the mummified paw now looks harmless. Mrs. White comments on how ridiculous the sergeant-major’s story was but remarks that two hundred pounds couldn’t do any harm. They could, Herbert jokes, if the money fell out of the sky onto his father’s head. Mr. White answers that people often mistake coincidence for granted wishes. Herbert then leaves for work.
Later that day, Mrs. White notices a stranger outside dressed in nice clothes. The stranger hesitantly approaches their gate three times before opening it and coming up to the door. Mrs. White ushers him in. He nervously states that he is a representative of Maw and Meggins, Herbert’s employer. Mrs. White asks whether Herbert is all right, and the representative says he is hurt, but in no pain. For a moment, Mrs. White feels relieved, until she realizes that Herbert feels no pain because he’s dead. The representative says that Herbert was “caught in the machinery.” After a pause, Mr. White says that Herbert was the only child they had left. Embarrassed, the representative stresses that he is simply obeying Maw and Meggins’s orders. He then explains that the company will not take any responsibility for the death but will give the Whites two hundred pounds. Mrs. White shrieks, and Mr. White faints.
In Part III, the Whites bury Herbert. Several days pass, and the couple feels exhausted and hopeless. A week after the burial, Mr. White wakes up and hears his wife crying by the window. He gently urges her to come back to bed, but she refuses. He dozes off again until Mrs. White suddenly cries out that she wants the monkey’s paw. In hysterics, she tells him to go downstairs and wish Herbert back to life. Mr. White resists and tells her that Herbert’s death and the two hundred pounds they had received had nothing to do with his wish the previous night. Mr. White says that he didn’t want to tell her before, but Herbert was so mangled that he had to identify the body by looking at the clothes. Mrs. White doesn’t listen, however, and continues to insist on wishing Herbert back to life with the monkey’s paw.

Supernatural elements in stories entail that the story has several strange and unexplainable events. Some examples of this would be undead characters, magic, mythical characters, and many other examples. The idea that an old man could correctly predict future events is unexplainable, and thus, falls under the category of "supernatural".

I have a short article and down below is the link. Write a short paragraph that explains the central idea of the article. Use at least two details from the article to support your response.
Sloths are notorious for being slow, traveling a mere 0.03 kilometers (120 feet) each day. These live high up in the trees of Central and South American forests. Their slow movements may not make them that exciting to watch, but if you're a scientist who is studying them, that slowness is a big plus.
"They're actually a great study animal for the wild because you can collect a lot of data on them," says Giles Duffield. He is a biologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.
A few years back, Duffield studied birds in Bolivia, but it was a lot harder to study a bird than a sloth. "You'd see some parrots and you'd make some notes and then they were gone and you wouldn't see them again for another 24 hours," he says.
Duffield and his colleagues now collect data on the brown-throated three-toed sloths that live in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. In June 2020, Duffield reported his work studying sloths and their circadian rhythms. These are the 24 hour schedules that control the sleeping and eating patterns of animals.
A Lot Of Rest
Brown-throated three-toed sloths can stay in sight—or even in the same tree—for nearly 24 hours. They rest anywhere from 75 to 90 percent of the time, allowing scientists like Duffield to closely observe sloths in their habitat, or natural environment where it lives.
Older studies on sloths suggested that sloths could be nocturnal, which means they are active during the night and sleep during the day. Other studies showed they had no set activity pattern of waking and sleeping at all: they are active at any time during their 24-hour cycle, night or day, without any issues.
Duffield and his team, on the other hand, found that their sloths were mostly diurnal, meaning they're active during the day and sleep during the night. "So this was kind of the opposite to what we'd expected," he says.
The scientists wanted to find out why their results were so different from the conclusions that previous scientists made. One possibility is that Duffield's study was unique because the team observed the sloths over complete 24-hour cycles. They monitored the sloths this way for 29 days, providing a clearer picture of sloth behavior.
There's another difference between Duffield's work and previous research: the habitats the sloths lived in. The brown-throated three-toed sloths lived in habitats disturbed by humans, while other sloths were in undisturbed habitats.
Damaged Ecosystems
The sloth's Atlantic Forest home is in trouble, with an estimated 98 percent of its woodland being lost. The forest has been highly disturbed by humans, who have hunted its animals, cleared its trees, built many roads, and developed the land. This means that a lot of the animals and plants that once lived there are gone. The sloth's predators, the animals that would eat the sloths for food, are gone too.
Sloths may have been nocturnal to improve their chances of survival in a more challenging environment. But Duffield thinks that because their predators in the Atlantic Forest are now extinct, sloths don't have to compete with other species for food. The animals can find enough food to live during the daytime instead of mostly at night. The switch between nighttime and daytime behaviors could be the way sloths handle a damaged ecosystem. These are biological communities made up of plants, animals, and microorganisms.
"A lot of organisms can't readily change their day to night activity," he says. "Their survival strategy requires one or the other." So it may well be that change, or that association with daytime as opposed to nighttime, or not having a set activity pattern, does change some of the organisms associated with the sloth. For example, algae and insects find homes in sloth fur.
"That's something we'd love to examine," Duffield says. For this new research, Duffield's most important piece of equipment is perhaps a comfortable chair.

Refer to the article “The Future of Money” in your Money, Money, Money magazine for a complete version of this text. How does the author best support the point that there are advantages to using digital currency?
A. By giving opinions about benefits of using cryptocurrency and problems with using cash and credit
B. By describing ways that it can be safer and easier to use than traditional money
C. By explaining that digital transactions are fastest because they are handled by computers
Answers
Answer:
To support the point that there are advantages to using digital currency, the author may use various arguments. However, among the options you provided, the best way to support this point is option B, by describing ways that digital currency can be safer and easier to use than traditional money.
For example, the author may explain that digital currency transactions can be faster, more secure, and more cost-effective than traditional money transfers. Additionally, digital currencies can allow for more privacy and anonymity in transactions, which can be beneficial for individuals who value their financial privacy. The author may also point out that digital currencies are not subject to the same geographic and political limitations as traditional currencies, making them more accessible to people in countries with unstable or restrictive monetary systems.
Overall, the author can use a combination of arguments to support the advantages of digital currency, including ease of use, security, privacy, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness.

Foreword
Looking to the next few decades, technological advances combined with fairly dramatic economic and social changes could create conditions for the emergence of new, virtual forms of money and credit. On the positive side these digital forms of money could help to create more efficient and more global economies and societies. On the negative side tomorrow’s new forms of money could make it easier to engage in anti-competitive behaviour; exacerbate exclusion and inequality; foster economic volatility; facilitate criminal activity; and even undermine the effectiveness of macroeconomic policy.
To examine these issues and advance the dialogue among high-ranking gov- ernment officials, business leaders and academics, an OECD Forum for the Future conference was held in Luxembourg on 11-13 July 2001. The conference had two primary aims: first, to explore the interrelationship between new forms of money and technological, economic and social change; and second, to consider the impli- cations for leadership in the public and private sectors.
The conference was organised around three sessions. The first set the stage by looking back to historic developments, and forward to the technologies that could influence future forms of money. The second examined how interactions over the next few decades between new forms of money and economic and social changes could give rise to a wide range of new opportunities and risks. Finally, the third considered the ways in which public and private sector decision makers might encourage synergy between new forms of money and technological, economic and social dynamism.
The conference was opened on 11th July in the “Hémicycle européen” of the Kirchberg Conference Centre by Ms Lydie Polfer, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Trade of Luxembourg; introductions to the theme of the conference were given by Mr Donald J. Johnston, Secretary-General of the OECD, and by Mr Luc Frieden, Luxembourg’s Minister of Treasury and Budget. All three speeches delivered on this occasion are reprinted in this volume.
The opening event was attended by several hundred people from various professional walks of life – government officials, bankers, other financial experts,

economists, consultants, researchers, university teachers, entrepreneurs, journalists, and many more – from all over the world.
The conference benefited from special sponsorship by the Luxembourg Gov- ernment, the Luxembourg Bankers' Association (ABBL) and the Luxembourg Fed- eration of the Professionals of the Financial Sector (PROFIL). Additional financial support was provided by numerous Asian, European and North American partners of the OECD Forum for the Future.
This publication brings together the papers presented at the meeting. It also includes an introduction prepared by the Secretariat. As with all previous Forum for the Future publications, this introduction not only endeavours to provide an overview of the main issues at stake and to reflect the richness of the very lively debate that took place; it also attempts to further advance the thinking on the subject in hand, inspired by the fruitful discussions at the meeting. The book is published on the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD.
Refer to the Newsela article "A Critical History of 'Lord of the Flies.'"
Which sentence from the article best supports its author's assertion that Golding's novel was influenced by real-world events?
A. "The book forced readers to think about the dark sides of human nature that may tear civilization apart."
B. "It is worth reading, or re-reading, for its entertainment value alone."
C. "The book was written by William Golding and published in 1954."
D."The book was written shortly after World War II , which had taken millions of lives."
Answers
Answer: The sentence that best supports the author's assertion is option D.
Explanation:
Lord of the Flies was authored by William Golding in 1954, exploring themes like morality, rationality, and a general look at the defects of society that seep into human nature at the individual level.
It was written after World War 2, having numerous references that testify to the war. His wartime services and experiences certainly influenced him to write this thought-provoking piece, raising awareness of the more pressing conditions of human nature.
Hence, the best sentence which supports the article is "The book was written by William Golding and published in 1954."
