Answer:

Lamentable is to be lamented for. Lament means to mourn/sorrow over something. So when something is described as lamentable, it is agonizing, regretful, grieving.

excerpt adapted from
Early Factory Labor in New England
by Harriet H. Robinson

In 1832, Lowell was little more than a factory village. Five "corporations" were started, and the cotton mills belonging to them were building. Help was in great demand and stories were told all over the country of the new factory place, and the high wages that were offered to all classes of work-people. These stories reached the ears of mechanics' and farmers' sons and gave new life to solitary and dependent women in distant towns and farmhouses.

The working hours of all the girls extended from five o'clock in the morning until seven in the evening, with one half-hour each, for breakfast and dinner.

Those of the mill-girls who had homes generally worked from eight to ten months in the year. The rest of the time was spent with parents or friends. A few of these girls taught school during the summer months. Their life in the factory was made pleasant to them. In those days, there was no need of advocating the doctrine of the proper relation between employer and employed. Help was too valuable to be ill-treated.

Passage 2

excerpt from
The Spirit of Discontent
by anonymous

"I will not stay in Lowell any longer; I am determined to give my notice this very day," said Ellen Collins, as the earliest bell was tolling to remind us of the hour for labor.

"Why, what is the matter, Ellen? It seems to me you have dreamed out a new idea! Where do you think of going? and what for?"

"I am going home, where I shall not be obliged to rise so early in the morning, nor be dragged about by the ringing of a bell, nor confined in a close noisy room from morning till night. I will not stay here; I am determined to go home in a fortnight."

"And so, Ellen," said I, "you think it unpleasant to rise so early in the morning and be confined in the noisy mill so many hours during the day. And I think so, too. All this, and much more, is very annoying, no doubt. But we must not forget that there are advantages, as well as disadvantages, in this employment, as in every other. If we expect to find all sunshine and flowers in any station in life, we shall most surely be disappointed. We are very busily engaged during the day; but then we have the evening to ourselves, with no one to dictate to or control us.

Select the correct answer.
Read each passage. What is a difference between the two passages?

A.
One is a description of general conditions, while the other is a story with dialogue.
B.

In the story Little Women, one family brings breakfast to another on Christmas morning. Read this passage and then answer the question that follows:

A poor, bare, miserable room it was, with broken windows, no fire, ragged bedclothes, a sick mother, wailing baby, and a group of pale, hungry children cuddled under one old quilt, trying to keep warm.

How the big eyes stared and the blue lips smiled as the girls went in.

"Ach, mein Gott! It is good angels come to us!" said the poor woman, crying for joy.

What implicit meaning can you find about the sick woman and her children from this text?

The mother did not know how to start a fire.
The mother's illness made her children hate her.
The mother was unable to provide for their needs.
The mother and children lived in an abandoned building.

Nonfiction: In mid-November, 1805, Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery finally reached the Pacific Ocean. The expedition had left St. Louis over a year and a half earlier in order to locate the mythical "Northwest Passage," supposedly a series of rivers that would connect the east and west coasts of North America. But it didn't exist, and instead they came upon the jagged peaks of the Rocky Mountains and found only great hardship and suffering. But they persevered and pushed forward to the Pacific, where they hoped to find passage home by ship. With none to be found, they constructed Fort Clatsop and waited through another bitter winter, suffering more misery and sickness, until the weather broke and the Corps of Discovery headed east for St. Louis in late March 1806.
Fiction: The men of the Corps of Discovery scrambled down the sandy dune like children romping in a snowstorm. They charged toward the endless expanse of grey, churning water, as if touching it could erase the struggle and suffering of the last eighteen months. One by one, though, their heads moved from the hypnotic, lapping surf to the space just above the horizon line, searching for a mast or a sail, or any sign of a sailing vessel moving in the distance. And when none could be found, each face glazed over with the understanding that the journey they thought was complete was only halfway done. One by one they turned from the rhythmic, lulling Pacific and faced east, looking at the thick forests and angry mountains they had hoped never to enter again.

First, identify a way in which both accounts are similar. Then explain how information is presented differently in the fictionalized account and what effect the different presentation of events has on the reader.

Which statements describe characteristics of an introduction? Select the two correct answers.

Which of the following statements about connotation and denotation is accurate?

Read this passage from Through the Looking-Glass. "That’s just what I complain of,” said Humpty Dumpty. "Your face is the same as everybody has—the two eyes, so—” (marking their places in the air with this thumb) "nose in the middle, mouth under. It’s always the same. Now if you had the two eyes on the same side of the nose, for instance—or the mouth at the top—that would be some help.” "It wouldn’t look nice,” Alice objected. But Humpty Dumpty only shut his eyes and said, "Wait till you’ve tried.” Alice waited a minute to see if he would speak again, but as he never opened his eyes or took any further notice of her, she said "Good-bye!” once more, and, getting no answer to this, she quietly walked away. Why does Alice leave Humpty Dumpty in this passage? because she is ashamed of him because she wants to be cruel to him because he stops communicating with her because he laughs at her appearance

Read the excerpt from “Pakistan’s Malala.”

But this was not how Malala decided she would live. With the encouragement of her father, she began believing that she was stronger than the things that scared her. "The Taliban have repeatedly targeted schools in Swat," she wrote in an extraordinary blog when she was empowered to share her voice with the world by the BBC. She was writing around the time the Taliban issued a formal edict in January 2009 banning all girls from schools. On the blog, she praised her father, who was operating one of the few schools that would go on to defy that order.

I was Hoo-lee-tah only to Mami and Papi and uncles and aunts who came over to eat sancocho on Sunday afternoons – old world folk whom I would just as soon go back to where they came from and leave me to pursue whatever mischief I wanted to in America.

When the telephone was first invented, it had a profound impact on communications. Technology has had a profound impact particularly over the last two centuries. Ironically, there is concern that the options for communication and electronic devices have actually resulted in less communication. The nature of social media makes it possible for people to communicate anonymously, which can lead to online abuse and bullying. It does seem sad that even though we have so many forms of communication, some people still feel so alone.
