At one point, Judge Duffy wishes out loud that reporters were there to help get to the bottom of Nellie's story. Nellie thinks to herself,
"I got very much frightened at this, for if there is any one who can ferret out a mystery it is a reporter. I felt that I would rather face a mass of expert doctors, policemen, and detectives than two bright specimens of my craft..."

Strong writing often uses figurative language. Metaphors are a good way to describe characters, places, actions, and feelings. For this task, you will write a paragraph that contains three metaphors. Remember, a metaphor is a direct comparison. Type your paragraph in the essay box. Review your writing for correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

Directions: For the following questions, choose the best answer or respond in complete sentences.

1. PART A: Which statement best expresses the central idea of the text?

A. The immune system does more harm than good when it’s fighting the flu because of the life-threatening symptoms it can cause.

B. The influenza virus brings about many uncomfortable sensations in the body as it slowly spreads to more cells.

C. Much of the discomfort that people feel when they’re infected with influenza virus is from their immune system’s attack on the infection.

D. While the influenza virus causes painful symptoms throughout the body, the immune system releases cells that soothe the damage that it has been done.

2. PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

A. “Every year, from 5 to 20 percent of the people in the United States will become infected with influenza virus. An average of 200,000 of these people will require hospitalization and up to 50,000 will die.” (Paragraph 1)

B. “When T cells specifically recognize influenza virus proteins, they then begin to proliferate in the lymph nodes around the lungs and throat. This causes swelling and pain in these lymph nodes.” (Paragraph 6)

C. “This results in a prolonged infection and greater lung damage. This can also set the stage for complications including secondary bacterial pneumonia, which can often be deadly.” (Paragraph 8)

D. “Functionally, influenza infection also hinders walking and leg strength. Importantly, in young individuals, these effects are transient and return to normal once the infection was cleared.” (Paragraph 14)

3. What is the author’s main purpose in the text?

A. to encourage people to get vaccinated for the influenza virus to avoid the symptoms

B. to show how the immune system actually does more damage than the virus itself

C. to explain to people that the worse they feel during the flu, the faster they’re healing

Read “The Bundle of Sticks” by Aesop. Explain how the father is an inspirational character. Use details from the text to support your answer.

The Bundle of Sticks by Aesop A certain man had several Sons who were always quarrelling with one another, and, try as he might, he could not get them to live together in harmony. So he determined to convince them of their folly by the following means. Bidding them fetch a bundle of sticks, he invited each in turn to break it across his knee. All tried and all failed: and then he undid the bundle, and handed them the sticks one by one, when they had no difficulty at all in breaking them. "There, my boys," said he, "united you will be more than a match for your enemies: but if you quarrel and separate, your weakness will put you at the mercy of those who attack you."

Union is strength.

Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in the Year 1888 by Ernest Lawrence Thayer Poetry, 1888

Introduction

Ernest Thayer (1863–1940) was an American poet who published the poem “Casey at the Bat” in The San Francisco Examiner under the pseudonym “Phin.” The poem’s anonymity and association with DeWolf Hopper, who recited it 10,000 times on the vaudeville stage, led to many false claims about its authorship, and only reluctantly did Thayer eventually step forward to claim the poem as his own. By then, it had become firmly imprinted on the American imagination as the quintessential baseball poem, full of hope, drama, bravado, defeat, and humor. Though some readers may be unfamiliar with at bats and innings, everyone can relate to the final sentiment: “there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.”



Using context clues, what is the definition of quintessential?

a Not important
b The most important
c Unrelated to a certain subject
d Representing the perfect example of something

Use the poem "Recuerdo" by Edna St. Vincent Millay to complete the activity.

(1) We were very tired, we were very merry—

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.

It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable—

But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,

We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;

And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.

(2) We were very tired, we were very merry—

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry;

And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear,

From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;

And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold,

And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold.

(3) We were very tired, we were very merry,

We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.

We hailed, “Good morrow, mother!” to a shawl-covered head,

And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read;

And she wept, “God bless you!” for the apples and pears,

And we gave her all our money but our subway fares.



In one to two sentences, explain how the repeated lines contribute to the overall meaning of the poem.

The Invention Factory by Saki Hirose In his lifetime, Thomas Edison had over 1,000 patents on record. Though he possessed amazing ingenuity, he quickly recognized that, as just one person, he didn’t have the capacity to build and test his many inventions. In response, Edison created a laboratory—also known as the Invention Factory—in Menlo Park, New Jersey. It was made up of engineers, machinists, and physicists, and it ensured that numerous inventions were converted from concepts and ideas into products. Some say competition has spurred the most growth in technology, but Edison’s Invention Factory proves that, instead, advantageous partnerships and collaboration are responsible. Edison documented his ideas and thoughts in 3,500 notebooks, which have been studied by historian Paul Israel at Rutgers University. A consistent theme is the importance of continuous collaboration, which Edison put into practice at the Invention Factory. Here, Edison was known for hosting “midnight lunches” where colleagues would get together to share food, questions, and ideas. This tradition brought employees together in an environment where collaboration flourished, enabling small teams to pool knowledge and solve problems. This led to the development of wonders we can’t imagine living without, like alkaline batteries and motion pictures. Edison had numerous teams working at once, and he also assembled “Edison’s Pioneers,” an elite research team. Lewis Latimer, a major Black inventor of the time, was a member of this team and responsible for improving Edison’s lightbulb. Latimer’s bulb was made of a carbon more durable than Edison’s prototype, which kept the filament from burning out too quickly. Latimer is widely credited with making it feasible for the public to use electric light. Jonas Aylsworth also worked at the Invention Factory and is known for pioneering the development of plastic. Reginald Fessenden, a chemist, developed insulation for electrical wires, which led to the first underground electrical system. Other inventions that came out of Menlo Park include the microphone, a prototype electric railway, street lights, and the phonograph. Edison applied for over 400 patents related to the inventions developed at Menlo Park; yet, many historians believe that his greatest invention of all was the Invention Factory itself. This question has two parts. Answer Part A, then Part B. Part A Read this sentence from paragraph 1. “Some say competition has spurred the most growth in technology, but Edison’s Invention Factory proves that, instead, advantageous partnerships and collaboration are responsible.” How does the author support the idea that collaboration is responsible for the greatest growth in technology? Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A by specifying the number of patents Edison had on record along with the number of notebooks he filled as an inventor (Choice B) B by outlining a timeline with the greatest technological advancements Edison made since becoming an inventor (Choice C) C by describing the failures of other inventors who chose to compete with, instead of collaborate with, Edison (Choice D) D by explaining why Edison formed the Invention Factory and the successes that came out of it Part B Which detail from the passage supports the answer to Part A? Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A “Edison documented his ideas and thoughts on 3,500 notebooks, which have been studied by historian Paul Israel at Rutgers University.” (Choice B) B “Latimer’s bulb was made of a carbon more durable than Edison’s prototype, which kept the filament from burning out too quickly.” (Choice C) C “Edison applied for over 400 patents related to the inventions developed at Menlo Park; yet, many historians believe that his greatest invention of all was the Invention Factory itself.” (Choice D) D “Though he possessed amazing ingenuity, he quickly recognized that, as just one person, he didn’t have the capacity to build and test his many inventions.” Psst! Don't forget to choose an answer for both questions and explain why:)
