Read the following excerpt from Alfred Noyes’s narrative poem "The Highwayman." Which three literary elements do these stanzas contain?


The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,

And the highwayman came riding—

Riding—riding—

The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.


He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,

A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.

They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh.

And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,

His pistol butts a-twinkle,

His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.


Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard.

He tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred.

He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there

But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter,

Bess, the landlord’s daughter,

Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

Read the passage.
Johnny was miserable. It was Saturday afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and he was stuck in bed with the flu. His throat felt like sandpaper every time he swallowed, his head felt as if someone had dropped an anvil on it, and he couldn’t stop coughing. His mother had checked his temperature earlier in the day and announced that he was too sick to get out of bed, let alone go outside to enjoy the first warm spring day along with his friends and siblings. From his room, Johnny could hear his sisters' high-pitched squeals of delight and the ringing of their bicycle bells as they rode up and down the sidewalk. He could hear someone bouncing a basketball and the swoop of the ball as it swished through the net. He also heard his best friend, Noah, asking where Johnny was and his sisters' reply that he couldn't come out to play because he was sick. This was too much. Johnny pulled the soft, velvety covers over his aching head and turned to the wall in protest, realizing there was nothing he could do but wait for this virus to take its course. He swore to himself that he would be better by next Saturday and that he would be outside riding his bike and shooting baskets along with everyone else.

The purpose of the sensory language in this passage is to help readers

A. Imagine what Johnny and his sisters look like.
B. Understand how Johnny became so ill.
C. Experience how sick and frustrated Johnny feels.
D. Picture what Johnny's room looks like.

Read the excerpt from "Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress."

With the warriors from the south came Atalanta, armed with bow and arrows and a long hunting spear.

“My daughters are having a game of ball in the garden,” said the king to the huntress. “Would you like to put away your arrows and your spear and go play with them?” Atalanta shook her head and lifted her chin in disdain.

“Perhaps you would rather stay with the queen, and look at the women spin and weave,” said the king.

“No,” answered Atalanta. “I am going with the warriors to hunt the wild boar in the forest.”

The men gasped. They had never heard of such a thing as a girl going out with heroes to hunt wild boars. “If she goes, then I will not,” muttered one. “Nor will I,” said another, a little more loudly. “Why, the whole world would laugh at us, and we should never hear the end of it.” “Nor will I,” exclaimed a third. “The hunt is for heroes, not for girls.”

Many of the men guffawed and hooted at the young huntress. But Atalanta only grasped her spear more firmly and stood tall and straight in the gateway of the palace.

Which detail best supports the inference that Atalanta struggles to overcome gender stereotypes?

“But Atalanta only grasped her spear more firmly and stood tall and straight in the gateway of the palace."


“'The hunt is for heroes, not for girls.'”


"With the warriors from the south came Atalanta, armed with bow and arrows and a long hunting spear."


"Atalanta shook her head and lifted her chin in disdain."

These days, fewer and fewer traditional incandescent lightbulbs are being used in homes. This is because lightbulb technology has improved since incandescent bulbs were developed. Incandescent bulbs work by running electricity through a wire inside the bulb. The wire glows, creating light. However, incandescent bulbs waste a lot of electricity by producing heat rather than light. In the past several years, less wasteful LED lights and compact fluorescent bulbs have become increasingly popular for home use.

Which option best evaluates how well the following summary reflects the original passage? Incandescent bulbs are a great form of technology.

A. The summary is weak because it does not accurately convey the meaning of the passage.

B. The summary is strong because it states the main idea of the passage and the most important supporting detail.

C. The summary is strong because it gives a good overview of the passage without getting into minor details.

D. The summary is weak because it focuses on a supporting detail rather than the main idea of the passage.​
