Answer:
Field hands
Explanation:
Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue."
Those tests were constructed around items like fill-in-the-blank sentence completion, such as "Even though Tom
was _, Mary thought he was ." And the correct answer always seemed to be the most bland
combinations of thoughts, for example, "Even though Tom was foolish, Mary thought he was ridiculous." Well,
according to my mother, there were very few limitations as to what Tom could have been and what Mary might have
thought of him. So I never did well on tests like that.
Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference that achievement tests ignore imagination as an element of

D. Tan’s mother was disappointed that Tan did poorly on tests with questions like the one described in the excerpt.
Answer:
The best option is letter B. Tan’s mother could think of several ways to answer a question like the one described in the excerpt.
Explanation:
In the essay "Mother Tongue", author Amy Tan discusses the many Englishes that shaped her into becoming who she is. Daughter of immigrant Chinese parents, Tan focuses on arguing how her mother's broken English was perceived not only by herself, but also by others. When Tan mentions the English tests she used to take at school, she shows readers how poorly those tests actually worked in terms of assessing one's ability. Her way to perceive language was different than what was expected from her. Even her mother, whose English was "broken", could see that those fill-in-the-blanks types of activities were trying to limit an idea that actually had almost endless possibilities. There were several ways to fill in those blanks, Tan and her mother both thought, but the school always seemed to expect the most bland, shallow ideas.

DID TEST!! HOPING ITS THE ANSWER BECASUE IM DOING IT RIGHT NOW
after Macbeth learns that Lady Macbeth is dead he says life is a tale/told by an idoit, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” How is this different from his attitude earlier in the play?
Answer:
Given the great love between them, his response is oddly muted.
hat the audience realises how completely his wife’s passing and the ruin of his power have undone Macbeth. His speech insists that there is no meaning or purpose in life. Rather, life “is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing.” One can easily understand how, with his wife dead and armies marching against him, Macbeth succumbs to such pessimism. Yet, there is also a defensive and self-justifying quality to his words. If everything is meaningless, then Macbeth’s awful crimes are somehow made less awful, because, like everything else, they too “signify nothing.”
So this shows that his attitude has changed due his wife's downfall. Giving us an inkling that Lady Macbeth controlled him. Him now knowing that she has left him to his own fate and that he can't decide what to do on his own.
It is all so fleeting, and individuals spend their brief "hour" of life full of sound and fury. For what? Against whom? In the end, none of the fury that consumes so much of life amounts to anything.
Macbeth realises that he has wasted so much of his brief life (and, by extension, all of us do as well) and that it has all proven meaningless in the end. So it's as if his 'evil and remorseless' attitude has changed to a saddened end to his wasted life.

B. They were freed and allowed to return to Africa.
C. They were freed and started new lives in the United States.
D. They were returned to their captors and sold in the United States.
Answer:
B) They were free and allowed to return to Africa
Explanation:
On March 9, 1841, the Supreme Court ruled 7-1 to uphold the lower court's decision in favor of the African. They wrote that:
"There does not seem to us to be any ground for doubt, that these Negroes ought to be deemed free."
However, the court didn't order the government to provide funds for the return of Africans to their homeland. The new President at that time, John Tyler, refused to provide funds for them. The salvage rights for the ships were awarded to U.S Navy Officers who captured it. Due to such circumstance, the Africans had to raise money from scratch. In November 1841, 35 Africans saild from Newyork towards their homeland, aided by funds raised by United Missionary Society, which was a black group.
