Core exam #2"Theme for English B" Langston Hughes - correct answer ✔✔I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-
Salem.
"Theme for English B" Langston Hughes - correct answer ✔✔The steps from the hill lead down into
Harlem,
through a park, then I cross St. Nicholas.
"Theme for English B" Langston Hughes - correct answer ✔✔You are white- yet a part of me, as I am a
part of you. That's American.
"Theme for English B" Langston Hughes - correct answer ✔✔Being me, it will not be white. But it will be
a part of you, instructor
Myth of "Prometheus" - correct answer ✔✔"Wise Athena then taught Prometheus mathematics,
navigation, astronomy, architecture, medicine and many other arts. That's how Prometheus got to be so
smart. Along with his ability to foresee the future, that made him a formidable Titan."
"Theme for English B" Langston Hughes - correct answer ✔✔"It is no that easy to know what is true for
you or me at twenty-two, my age."
Empathy Gap J. D. Trout - correct answer ✔✔"People don't always help when they feel empathy; they
may otherwise dislike the person, or they may not have the time or money."
Empathy Gap J. D. Trout - correct answer ✔✔When the person suffering is similar to us, empathy really
ramps up: we experience stronger physiological arousal , report identifying more with the suffering
person, and report feeling worse while waiting for the painful stimulus than subjects observing the same
pain administered to someone not similar to them.
Empathy Gap J. D. Trout - correct answer ✔✔"Empathy alone cannot tell you what to do with the more
than thirty million people people, or the eleven million children, in the United States who fall below the
, federally identified poverty line. For that, we need policies that cut channels of empathy, taking us from
our compassionate feelings to the goal of ensuring well-being"
Empathy Gap J. D. Trout - correct answer ✔✔"For example, we are too optimistic about our future
health, and as a result we too readily dismiss risks to our health from everything from HIV to heart
disease to cancer. We treat our future self as too much of a stranger. And we also discount the risks to
others"
Empathy Gap J. D. Trout - correct answer ✔✔"Sympathy, on the other hand, is focused not on accurate
understanding but on feeling"
"Letter From Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King, Jr. - correct answer ✔✔"One may well ask: 'How can
you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?' The answer lies in the fact that there are two
types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the last to advocate disobeying just laws"
"Letter From Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King, Jr. - correct answer ✔✔Seldom do I pause to answer
criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries
would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would
have no time for constructive work."
"Letter From Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King, Jr. - correct answer ✔✔"Sometimes a law is just on its
face and unjust in its application. For instance, I have been arrested on a charge of parading without a
permit. Now, there is nothing wrong in having an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade. But
such an ordinance becomes unjust when it is used to maintain segregation and to deny citizens the First
Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and protest."
"Letter From Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King, Jr. - correct answer ✔✔" Shallow understanding from
people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm
acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection"
"Letter From Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King, Jr. - correct answer ✔✔"We have waited for more
than 340 years for our constitutional and God-given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving
with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we stiff creep at horse-and-buggy pace
toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the
stinging dart of segregation to say, "Wait.""
