2017 Practice Test
Question 1
Item 1
Read the following poem carefully before you choose your answers.

This poem, set in the rural South, was first published during the Harlem Renaissance.


November Cotton Flower

Boll-weevil’s* coming, and the

winter’s cold, Made cotton-stalks look

rusty, seasons old, And cotton, scarce

as any southern snow,

Was vanishing; the branch, so pinched and slow,

(5) Failed in its function as the autumn
rake; Drouth fighting soil had caused the
soil to take

All water from the streams; dead birds

were found In wells a hundred feet below

the ground —

Such was the season when the flower bloomed.

(10) Old folks were startled, and it soon
assumed Significance. Superstition saw

Something it had never seen before:

Brown eyes that loved without a trace

of fear, Beauty so sudden for that time

of year.



“November Cotton Flower,” from CANE by Jean Toomer.
