In Selection 2, why is the phrase “ here for now” repeated at the end of every stanza?


A)to show that progress is important


B)to express that everything is impermanent


C)to express that the tour bus is standing still


D)to show that wilderness always triumphs over civilization




(the poem)
I gaze out the tour bus window at an ancient land.

The green fields could tell tales of centuries past.

Snaking rivers have chased their own tails and shed their blue skins

But are here for now.


5 I see a grove of trees sway slightly in the soft wind ahead.

Branches mime silent secrets beyond the window.

Shades of leaves have bloomed and faded and fallen again

But are here for now.


I look at a town of rubble beyond the passing trees.

10 Broken bricks and shattered shingles lie in a crisp grid of ruin.

This ancient village has prospered and faded, now felled by the axe of progress,

But is here for now.


It looks as if trees were planted to obscure the past. These walls of leaves hide houses in pieces.

15 Someone wants to forget this short breath of history that has come and drifted onward

But is here for now.


Ahead a city gleams, a new horizon on ancient land.

Miles of glass and steel that speak at night with endless light.

A great future has arrived—an immovable age!

20 A permanent page in humanity’s tome of tales!—

But it is really only here for now.

B

PLEASE HELP!

Emma was having a wonderful time at summer camp. She’d made friends with
all the girls in her cabin, and she was having taking part in all the activities, and
she even secretly enjoyed some of the chores.
One day, a package arrived at camp from Emma’s grandmother. The other girls
in the cabin were excited about what the package contained, and watched as
Emma opened it. Inside was a box of her grandmother’s homemade caramels,
which were Emma’s favorite. She was about to eat one of them when one of the
other girls asked if she could have a caramel. Then the other girls asked the
same question. Emma counted the caramels. There were ten in the box. There
were eight other girls in the cabin, so if she gave each of them one caramel,
there would only be two left for her. She thought about keeping them for herself.
After all, they were her favorite, and her grandmother had sent them to her. As
much as she loved the caramels, though, she also wanted her friends to get a
chance to try them. So she gave each girl a caramel. That night they all got a
treat, and Emma was glad she’d shared her favorite treat with her new friends.

guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.

The Curse of the Bambino

(1) On December 26, 1919, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, Harry Frazee, made a decision that would haunt fans of the club for 86 years. He sold his best player, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees. This transaction marked the beginning of the "Curse of the Bambino." The Curse of the Bambino was the belief that, because the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth, they would never win another World Series.
(2) Ruth helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 1915, 1916, and 1918. However, his demands for a higher salary and his poor attitude caused Frazee to look for a chance to trade him. He chose an offer from the Yankees to sell Ruth for cash.
(3) Unfortunately for the Red Sox, Ruth would go on to become the greatest player in the history of the game. After purchasing Ruth, the Yankees would go on to become the most successful baseball club in history. They won their 26th World Series title in 2000.
(4) However, the worst part of the curse was that the Red Sox came very close to winning the championship several times but suffered heartbreaking losses. For Sox fans, seeing their team suffer heartbreaking losses was worse than the fate of teams like the Chicago Cubs, who were usually too bad to even get close.
(5) Finally, in 2004, Red Sox fans were rewarded for their loyalty. The Red Sox were able to defeat their rivals, the Yankees, to advance to the World Series. Then, they easily defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. While Red Sox fans suffered for 86 years, they would say that their victory in 2004 was sweeter because they had longed for it for so many years.

Which of the following sentences would best introduce paragraph 4?
A.
At least the Red Sox were still a good team for many of those years.
B.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox failed to win a single title since the day they sold Ruth.
C.
In addition, Roger Clemens won a Cy Young award for both the Red Sox and the Yankees.
D.
The Yankees and Red Sox now have a historic rivalry.
