excerpt adapted from Telling All Americans’ Stories: Introduction to European Heritage
by National Park Service

In many ways, the story of America is the story of movement—the unprecedented migration of people, ideas, and beliefs. The Statue of Liberty stands as perhaps the most iconic symbol of our nation’s largely immigrant past and its European heritage in particular.

Under the watchful gaze of this imposing monument, lives converged. Between 1892 and 1954, over 12 million immigrants passed through the processing facility on Ellis Island. Many of those people left homes across Europe—particularly England, Ireland, the German and Russian empires, and Scandinavian countries—to escape famine, political and economic oppression, or in search for greater opportunities in America.

Upon crossing America’s shores, European immigrants spread across the North American continent, altering its physical and cultural landscape along the way. These experiences are often told through the treasured European American narrative of the “melting pot”—where diverse groups traveled to a “New World,” where they peopled a nation and forged a uniquely American identity. However, these immigrants arrived on a continent already populated by indigenous nations who possessed their own complex political, economic, and cultural systems. The ensuing encounters between these diverse groups serve as some of the foundational moments in American history. The 1604–1607 maps and documents by Samuel de Champlain are testimony to the interactions between French explorers and the Native peoples living along the coast.

What is the best way to organize the sentences to express how the author develops a central idea in the passage?

A central idea in the text is that many of the people
migrating to America were European immigrants.
The author describes how people came from “England,
Ireland, the German and Russian empires, and
Scandinavian countries—to escape famine, political
and economic oppression, or in search for greater
opportunities in America.”
This detail shapes the idea because it lists European
countries that the people came from and
explains several reasons why they left for America.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Part 1
1. Mr. Utterson the lawyer was a man of a rugged countenance, that was never lighted by a smile; cold, scanty and embarrassed in
discourse; backward in sentiment; lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable. At friendly meetings, and when the wine
was to his taste, something eminently human beaconed from his eye; something indeed which never found its way into his talk,
but which spoke not only in these silent symbols of the after-dinner face, but more often and loudly in the acts of his life. He was
austere with himself; drank gin when he was alone, to mortify a taste for vintages, and though he enjoyed the theatre, had not
crossed the doors of one for twenty years. But he had an approved tolerance for others; sometimes wondering, almost with envy,
at the high pressure of spirits involved in their misdeeds; and in any extremity inclined to help rather than to reprove.
2. "I incline to, Cain's heresy," he used to say. "I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly 'own way." In this character, it was
frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down-going men. And to
such as these, so long as they came about his chambers, he never marked a shade of change in his demeanour.
3. No doubt the feat was easy to Mr. Utterson; for he was undemonstrative at the best, and even his friendship seemed to be
founded in a similar catholicity of good-nature. It is the mark of a modest man to accept his friendly circle ready-made from the
hands of opportunity; and that was the lawyer's way. His friends were those of his own blood or those whom he had known the
longest; his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. Hence, no doubt, the bond that
united him to Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman, the well-known man about town. It was a nut to crack for many, what these
two could see in each other, or what subject they could find in common. It was reported by those who encountered them in their
Sunday walks, that they said nothing, looked singularly dull, and would hail with obvious relief the appearance of a friend. For all
that, the two men put the greatest store by these excursions, counted them the chief jewel of each week, and not only set aside
occasions of pleasure, but even resisted the calls of business, that they might enjoy them uninterrupted.
*The biblical story of Cain and Abel is a story about two brothers who gave offerings to God. Abel's offering was accepted by God, but Cain's
was not. Jealous, Cain killed his brother. When God asked Cain where Abel was, Cain said, Am I my brother's keeper? By saying this, Cain
implied that what his brother did was his own business. (Genesis 4:1-16)
