Advantages of small towns and why it is better than large cities

Yet the Philadelphia clubwoman is ashamed to say that her race created it and she does not like me to write
about it. The old subconscious "white is best" runs through her mind. Years of study under white teachers, a
lifetime of white books, pictures, and papers, and white manners, morals, and Puritan standards made her
dislike the spirituals. And now she turns up her nose at jazz and all its manifestations--likewise almost
everything else distinctly racial. She doesn't care for the Winold Reiss portraits of Negroes because they are
"too Negro." She does not want a true picture of herself from anybody,

When Americans are ignorant of other fascinating languages and cultures, they look foolish and are less able to compete successfully in the world. Those who are against adding languages to our school curriculum are simply narrow-minded.

Read the passage. excerpt from Federalist No. 78 by Alexander Hamilton In 1787 and 1788, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison wrote the Federalist Papers to persuade voters to ratify the proposed Constitution of the United States of America. These papers included essays about all three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. In Federalist No. 78, Hamilton focused specifically on the judicial branch. Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them. The Executive not only dispenses the honors, but holds the sword of the community. The legislature not only commands the purse, but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated. The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments. This simple view of the matter suggests several important consequences. It proves incontestably, that the judiciary is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power; that it can never attack with success either of the other two; and that all possible care is requisite to enable it to defend itself against their attacks. It equally proves, that though individual oppression may now and then proceed from the courts of justice, the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter; I mean so long as the judiciary remains truly distinct from both the legislature and the Executive. For I agree, that "there is no liberty, if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers.'' And it proves, in the last place, that as liberty can have nothing to fear from the judiciary alone, but would have every thing to fear from its union with either of the other departments; that as all the effects of such a union must ensue from a dependence of the former on the latter, notwithstanding a nominal and apparent separation; that as, from the natural feebleness of the judiciary, it is in continual jeopardy of being overpowered, awed, or influenced by its co-ordinate branches; and that as nothing can contribute so much to its firmness and independence as permanency in office, this quality may therefore be justly regarded as an indispensable ingredient in its constitution, and, in a great measure, as the citadel of the public justice and the public security. The complete independence of the courts of justice is peculiarly essential in a limited Constitution. By a limited Constitution, I understand one which contains certain specified exceptions to the legislative authority; such, for instance, as that it shall pass no bills of attainder, no ex-post-facto laws, and the like. Limitations of this kind can be preserved in practice no other way than through the medium of courts of justice, whose duty it must be to declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution void. Without this, all the reservations of particular rights or privileges would amount to nothing. How does Hamilton support and advance his purpose in Paragraph 2 by using the word feebleness in this excerpt? . . . that as, from the natural feebleness of the judiciary, it is in continual jeopardy of being overpowered, awed, or influenced by its co-ordinate branches . . . This word allows Hamilton to stress the idea that the judiciary plays a naturally passive role in the government—reacting to the other branches—so its independence must be guaranteed. The word lets Hamilton suggest that the efforts of the judiciary are mostly ineffective, so it should not be linked to any other branches lest it negatively influence them. The word conveys Hamilton's belief that the judiciary's function will be irrelevant unless it is allowed to exist under the strong and guiding power of the other branches of government. The word captures Hamilton's view that the judiciary is of questionable value, so it ought to be granted complete independence so it can prove its worth to the government.

A Piece of Chalk
by G. K. Chesterton (adapted excerpt)
I then tried to explain the rather delicate logical shade, that I not only liked brown paper, but liked the quality of brownness in paper, just as I
liked the quality of brownness in October woods, or in the peat-streams of the North. Brown paper represents the primal twilight of the first toil
of creation, and with a bright-colored chalk or two you can pick out points of fire in it, sparks of gold, and blood-red, and sea-green, like the first
fierce stars that sprang out of darkness. All this I said in an off-hand way) to the old woman; and I put the brown paper in my pocket along with
the chalks, and possibly other things. I suppose every one must have reflected how primeval and how poetical are the things that one carries in
one's pocket; the pocket-knife, for instance, the type of all human tools, the infant of the sword. Once I planned to write a book of poems
entirely about the things in my pockets. But I found it would be too long and the age of the great epics is past.
With my stick and my knife, my chalks and my brown paper, I went out on to the great downs. I crawled across those colossal contours that
express the best quality of England, because they are at the same time soft and strong. The smoothness of them has the same meaning as the
smoothness of great cart-horses, or the smoothness of the beech-tree; it declares in the teeth of our timid and cruel theories that the mighty are
merciful.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

The year is 326 B.C. Alexander the Great stands at the Indus River in what is now Pakistan. For a decade he and his Greek soldiers have been battling their way across the known world, defeating even the mighty Persians, rulers of Asia. Alexander’s string of victories only feeds his hunger to conquer all, to know all. But his men balk. Tired of fighting, homesick, they refuse to go on. Alexander realizes he cannot continue to conquer Asia, but he is too curious to stop exploring. He has already built a fleet of eight hundred ships, appointed his close friend Nearchus captain, and sent them to investigate the coast of lndia by sea.And it is Nearchus who stumbles upon the "sweet reed." The Greeks knew something of India (actually the Indian subcontinent, the area that today includes the nations of India and Pakistan) from the books of Herodotus, a writer who lived about a century earlier. He reported that when the Persian emperor Darius I invaded India around 510 B.C., his men found a sweet reed that produced honey.

Which text features would be most helpful to support the central idea of the passage? Select two options.
1. a timeline showing how people have used sugar in the past and up until the present
