Question 2
Part B

Which excerpts best support the answer in Part A?

Select the TWO correct answers.


1."'No time now!’ said the hobbit. ‘You just follow me! We must all keep together and not risk getting separated. All of us must escape or none, and this is our last chance. If this is found out, goodness knows where the king will put you next with chains on your hands and feet too, I expect. Don’t argue. There’s a good fellow.'"

2."The day grew lighter and warmer as they floated along. After a while, the river rounded a steep shoulder of land that came down upon their left … Suddenly the cliff fell away. The shores sank. The trees ended. Then Bilbo saw a sight: The lands opened wide about him, filled with the waters of the river which broke up and wandered in a hundred winding courses."

3."'What I say,' said Bilbo gasping. 'And please don’t cook me, kind sirs! I am a good cook myself, and cook better than I cook, if you see what I mean. I’ll cook beautifully for you, a perfectly beautiful breakfast for you, if only you won’t have me for supper.'

4.'Poor little blighter,' said William. He had already had as much supper as he could hold; also he had had lots of beer. 'Poor little blighter! Let him go!'

'Not till he says what he means by lots and none at all,' said Bert. 'I don’t want to have me throat cut in me sleep! Hold his toes in the fire, till he talks!'

'I won’t have it,' said William. 'I caught him anyway.'"


5."'Half a moment!' cried Bilbo, who was still thinking uncomfortably about eating. Fortunately he had once heard something rather like this before, and getting his wits back he thought of the answer. 'Wind, wind of course,' he said, and he was so pleased that he made up one on the spot. 'This’ll puzzle the nasty little underground creature,' he thought: An eye in a blue face Saw an eye in a green face. 'That eye is like to this eye' Said the first eye, 'But in low place Not in high place.'"

Read the summary of "The Beginnings of the Maasai.”

In "The Beginnings of the Maasai,” the daughter of the Maasai explains the relationship between the Maasai and their sky god Enkai. She explains how a volcanic eruption sent Enkai and the cattle into the sky. In order to save the cattle, Enkai created a giant tree that allowed them to walk back to earth. Then, Enkai entrusted Neiterkob, the narrator’s father, and his tribe to care for the cattle. As a result, the cattle are sacred to the Maasai, and the Maasai maintain a close connection with Enkai.

Is this an effective summary of the story?

B. Yes, because it includes key ideas from the beginning, middle, and end, and it explains the conflict and the resolution.

B. Yes, because it focuses on the details from the beginning, the obstacles from the middle, and the resolution from the end.

C. No, because it uses too many specific names from the beginning, middle, and end, and it has a vague resolution.

D. No, because it leaves out details from the beginning, the obstacles from the middle, and the resolution from the end.

You're Aces by J. Robbins "Oh, good, you're all here," said Pola as she walked into the community theater. She began handing out copies of her script to the assembled actors. "This is a lot to memorize," remarked Gerhardt, flipping through the pages. "Neville, your character's name is Rhombus Fairchild. Boy, I bet he was picked on as a kid." "You're Aces—what kind of title is that?" Neville asked. "The play takes place in the 1920s, Neville," replied Pola irritably. "People used catchphrases like that back then. It means 'You're the best.' " "If the play takes place in the past, why are the main characters fighting giant evil robots in the third act?" asked Nadezhda. Gerhardt and Neville gasped in surprise and started reading the script with renewed interest. "Cool! I get to fire a laser gun," bragged Neville. "Oh, man!" Gerhardt groaned. "My character gets killed at the end of Act III. Death scenes are the worst." "Quit complaining, everyone," exclaimed Pola. "I had to write this by myself in two days while working a full-time job. It may not be Shakespeare, but it's good enough for community theater. I think we should just do the best we can with what we've got." "That's a terrible attitude," Nadezhda said. "The proceeds from this play will be donated to charity, and I think we should try our hardest to give people their money's worth. Why don't we all work together to write a new script?" "Fine!" Pola yelled. "I'll let you guys take over the play, and I'll save my efforts for people with better taste in entertainment." The three actors watched in amazement as Pola stomped out of the theater. "Whoops," said Nadezhda with an embarrassed smile. "I forgot that she hates for anyone to question her talent as a writer." "I'm just sad I won't get to wear a jet pack and use phrases like 'You're the bees' knees,' " Neville laughed. "I thought doing a death scene was bad," said Gerhardt. "If we don't get a script put together by tonight, we'll all be in serious trouble." Nadezhda grabbed a notebook from her purse. "This will be a snap," she said confidently. "What's a good topic for a play?" "I know!" declared Gerhardt. "Neville and I will be lawmen sent from the future who try to stop a giant monster from destroying Dubuque, Iowa." "Well, it is original," Nadezhda replied slowly. "But how would we create a giant monster on our $10 prop budget?" "Good point," admitted Gerhardt. "Here's an idea," said Neville. "What if Gerhardt and I play Elvis and Abraham Lincoln, who have been brought back to life by scientists. We use our skills to defend the president, played by Nadezhda, from the cast of the musical Cats, who have been turned into vicious zombies." Neville's voice trailed off as he realized that both Nadezhda and Gerhardt were staring at him with their mouths open. "That's very ambitious," Nadezhda finally said. "I think it would be a little difficult for three people to perform onstage, though." "You're probably right," said Neville. "I hate to say it, but our ideas are terrible," Gerhardt remarked. "What are we going to do?" The three actors dashed off the stage and hurried outside. "She's over by her car!" exclaimed Nadezhda. "Let's go get her. I'm not too proud to beg; are you guys?" "No way," replied Gerhardt. "As far as I'm concerned, death scenes are the bees' knees."Drag each tile to the correct location on the image. Each tile can be used more than once.
