(Exam REVIEW-Explained further) 2022-2023.
Read the passage and study the map from Sugar Changed the World.
When the Haitians defeated the French armies, Napoleon lost control of the world's most productive
sugar islands and with it his dream of great sugar profits. As a result, Napoleon had no use for the land in
North America he had so recently obtained from Spain. Napoleon did, though, need money to pay for
his wars. That is why he sold the vast Louisiana Territory to Jefferson for the bargain price of just fifteen
million dollars. What textbooks call the Louisiana Purchase should really be named the Sugar Purchase.
Americans obtained the middle part of what would become their nation because the Haitians achieved
their freedom. But, paradoxically, that gave Haitian slave owners a new home.
As sugar planters fled from the revolution in Haiti, some moved to Cuba's Oriente Province, others to
North America—to Louisiana.
How does the map help develop the central idea that the Louisiana Purchase had profound effects on
sugar and the United States?
A-The map illustrates the spread of sugar plantations from Haiti to the Louisiana Territory.
,B-The map clarifies how the Louisiana Purchase eventually became part of the United States.
C-The map illustrates the size of the Louisiana Purchase and suggests its economic potential.
D-The map clarifies that the Louisiana Territory was large enough to be sold for more money.
Answer is A
Read the passage from Animal Farm.
That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been
opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan
which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among
Napoleon's papers. The windmill was, in fact, Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked somebody,
had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer looked very sly. That, he said, was Comrade
Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of
Snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence. Now that Snowball was out of the way,
the plan could go forward without his interference. This, said Squealer, was something called tactics. He
repeated a number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!" skipping round and whisking his tail with a
merry laugh. The animals were not certain what the word meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively,
and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his
explanation without further questions.
How does Orwell use Squealer's explanation to support his purpose?
A-Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's tactics is representative of a dictator who reverses policies and
lies about his reasons.
B-Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's tactics is meant to shed light on why it is often necessary for
dictators to lie to their people.
C-Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's tactics demonstrates a connection between Napoleon and
Squealer that was not previously clear.
,D-Squealer's explanation of Napoleon's tactics reveals a connection with Stalin's intent to do what was
right for his people.
Answer might be A?
Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100."
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
What is the central idea of the third quatrain?
If you see my love aging, work against it.
, Do not be lazy; we are all running out of time.
Make fun of time, and turn people against it.
Write something to ridicule my love's wrinkles.
Read the excerpt from "How the Whale Got His Throat."
In the sea, once upon a time, O my Best Beloved, there was a Whale, and he ate fishes. He ate the
starfish and the garfish, and the crab and the dab, and the plaice and the dace, and the skate and his
mate, and the mackereel and the pickereel, and the really truly twirly-whirly eel. All the fishes he could
find in all the sea he ate with his mouth—so! Till at last there was only one small fish left in all the sea,
and he was a small 'Stute Fish, and he swam a little behind the Whale's right ear, so as to be out of
harm's way. Then the Whale stood up on his tail and said, "I'm hungry." And the small 'Stute Fish said in
a small 'stute voice, "Noble and generous Cetacean, have you ever tasted Man?"
'No,' said the Whale. 'What is it like?'
'Nice,' said the small 'Stute Fish. 'Nice but nubbly.'
'Then fetch me some,' said the Whale, and he made the sea froth up with his tail.
'One at a time is enough,' said the 'Stute Fish. 'If you swim to latitude Fifty North, longitude Forty West
(that is magic), you will find, sitting on a raft, in the middle of the sea, with nothing on but a pair of blue
canvas breeches, a pair of suspenders (you must not forget the suspenders, Best Beloved), and a jack-
knife, one ship-wrecked Mariner, who, it is only fair to tell you, is a man of infinite-resource-and-
sagacity.'
