4. What is the most likely reason for Nancy Lee's tears as she recites the
pledge of allegiance at the end of the story?

B. She is determined to fight for liberty and justice regardless of how she
has been treated.
C. She is feeling deeply patriotic as she recites the pledge of allegiance.
D. She realizes that the pledge of allegiance is a lie and has lost all hope.

Answer: B I think

Explanation: Because she wanted the USA to be free and she wanted to be able to win that Art School scholarship.

The most likely reason for Nancy Lee's tears as she recites the pledge of allegiance at the end of the story was that she is determined to fight for liberty and justice regardless of how she has been treated. The correct option is (B).

Nancy Lee Johnson, a high school student of African descent and aspiring artist, is the subject of Langston Hughes' short story "One Friday Morning.

Nancy Lee anticipates winning a scholarship for college that will be given in a painting competition. She is confident that her painting is good even though she is unsure if she will actually win.

Since the text focuses on racism when high school student Nancy Lee Johnson is denied the Artist Club scholarship because she is colored, discrimination is without a doubt the main theme of the short story.

Therefore, Nancy Lee's tears as she recites the oath of allegiance at the conclusion of the tale are most likely due to her determination to battle for liberty and justice regardless of how she has been treated.

Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Children’s March.


As King finished speaking, a young white man named Roy James jumped onto the stage and attacked him with brass knuckles, slugging him in the back and jaw. Rather than return the blows or even cover his face, King dropped his hands by his side and looked at his assailant. Other ministers rushed to restrain James, but King stopped them.


"Don't touch him," he cried. "We have to pray for him." King put his arm around the man who had been attacking him. They talked quietly. The man, a member of the American Nazi Party, started crying and admitted that he had come there to prove that King was not nonviolent. The minister did not even press charges.

Maybe Heaven will fall to earth

Oooh Like a Man in a drunken haze
Life will find a way no matter what they say

I tossed and truned all night
Oooh and sat in my bed
I try to make it rite
But I forget about it instead

The boss says come in here
But I pretend that I'm asleep
My life is falling falling
I'm in trouble deep

Maybe I'll talk to god
But will he talk to me
And I'm trying to be stong now
But I'm so da** weak

Read the excerpt from "Ellis Island." Sometimes people's surnames were changed. Bietzy to Peachey. Hecht to Heck. Many Americans can point to the fact that their family names are different from their original spelling in the "old country." It is commonly thought that the clerks at Ellis Island misunderstood the names or decided to simplify them. Which is the best paraphrase of the text?

Marathon
Training for a marathon takes work and perseverance. It is not something you can do on the spur of the moment. Preparing for a marathon takes months, particularly if you have never run a marathon before. The official distance of a full marathon is 26.2 miles. In 2005, the average time to complete a marathon in the United States was 4 hours 32 minutes 8 seconds for men and 5 hours 6 minutes 8 seconds for women.

Most people who run marathons are not trying to win. Many runners try to beat their own best time. Some compare their time to other runners in the same gender and age group. Some people set time-oriented goals, such as finishing under four hours, while others try to complete the race without slowing to a walk. Many beginners simply hope to finish the marathon.

Trainers recommend that beginners maintain a consistent running schedule for six weeks prior to even starting a marathon training program. The purpose of this is to allow the body to adapt to the various physical demands of long-distance running. First-time marathon runners should train by running four days a week for at least four months, increasing distance by no more than ten percent weekly. As race day approaches, runners should taper their runs, reducing the strain on their bodies and resting before the marathon. It is important not to overexert yourself during training because that can lead to a lot of injuries. Most common injuries are spraining of the knees and ankles. These sprains can hinder the training.

Before the race, it is important to stretch in order to keep muscles limber. Staying hydrating is also important, but there is a danger in drinking too much water. If a runner drinks too much water, he/she may experience a dangerous condition called hyponatremia, a drop of sodium levels in the blood. During the race, trainers recommend maintaining a steady pace. It is normal to feel sore after a marathon. Light exercise will help sore muscles heal faster.

Some people run marathons in pairs or groups. Training for and running with another person or group of people can make the experience more enjoyable and more rewarding. A running partner might be just the motivation you need to show up for an early morning run instead of rolling over to hit the snooze button. And, when you cross the finish line together, you can share the satisfaction of reaching your common goal.

Usually, thousands of people sign up and run a marathon. Most people finish the race. The thrill of running a marathon for the first time is unbelievable. The training sessions are harder if you have never run before. But it is unbelievable what one’s body can do when one puts their mind to it. Having a good coach to support you makes all the difference in training for a marathon.

The health benefits you gain from training are tremendous. Your core muscles grow stronger and you will have tighter thighs and gluts. Your heart will be much stronger and you can maintain lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Overall you will look better and healthier.

Nothing can explain how people feel when they reach that finish line at the end of the race. All the hard work and months of training feel worthwhile. The feeling of accomplishing something great overtakes you. It is great to run a marathon but it is even greater to finish it.

For the most part, passengers in first or second-class accommodations disembarked in New York and entered the United States.

Those in third class or "steerage" had a very different experience throughout the journey. First, they were crammed below deck in filthy conditions with everything they owned.

From the port in New York, they were ferried to Ellis Island, where they might be held for hours, days, weeks, and in some cases months. The point of the inspections was to identify undesirables, such as those with a criminal record, the mentally ill, or those who could not support themselves financially. It was a frightening experience for the travelers.

Organize the paragraph properly by putting the sentences in the correct order.
First of all, many programming systems, such as Java or HTML, are called “languages.”
Based on these findings, you shouldn’t be discouraged from studying coding, even if you do better in your language classes than your math classes.
These systems are called languages because they truly operate as languages. Despite what you may assume, computer coding is more like a language than a type of mathematics.
A 2020 study published in the journal Scientific Reports found that “language aptitude” and other skills play “a bigger role in predicting how someone will pick up a computer language — not how savvy they are with numbers.”
Recent research suggests that learning these unique languages requires thinking like a language expert rather than a mathematician.
