Read the excerpt and answer the question.
The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet such as these even are commonly esteemed good citizens. Others—as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders—serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without intending it, as God.
In at least 100 words, provide a summary of this excerpt. Based on this passage, how does Thoreau feel about the people who serve the state?
Answer:
Too much respect for law leads people to do many unjust things, as war illustrates: Soldiers become only a shadow of their humanity; the government shapes them into machines. Soldiers have no opportunity to exercise moral sense, reduced to the existence comparable to that of a horse or dog. Yet these men are often called good citizens.
Explanation:
This paragraph is from Civil Disobediance by Henry David Thoreau, and my answer of "Too much respect for law leads people to do many unjust things, as war illustrates: Soldiers become only a shadow of their humanity; the government shapes them into machines. Soldiers have no opportunity to exercise moral sense, reduced to the existence comparable to that of a horse or dog. Yet these men are often called good citizens" conveys the summary.

Answer:
Thoreau feels about the people who serve the state are immoral because they are doing all the wrong things for the wrong reasons, To much respect for the law leads people to do many unjust things because they may take the law into their own hands when they see someone disobeying the order of how they think things are supposed to run. Soldiers became only a shadow of their humanity and then the government shaped them into machines that the people or themselves could not recognize themselves they have been turned into something they didn't want it's what the government wanted.

In The Tragedy of Macbeth, Act IV, which adjective would Macduff and Malcolm be most likely to use to describe Macbeth’s rule on Scotland? Explain why it is right or wrong.
a. judicious
b. sundry
c. credulous
d. pernicious
Answer:
D. Pernicious
Explanation:
The Tragedy of Macbeth is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It tells about a Scottish general Macbeth, who receives a prophecy from three witches. According to the prophecy, he will become king of Scotland. Spurred by his ambition and wife, Macbeth murders Duncan, takes over the throne, and rules as a tyrant. He slaughters many, including Macduff's family. Macduff reaches out to Malcolm, Duncan's son who had fled to England, and they gather an army consisting of Scottish and English forces and end Macbeth's reign.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the word Macduff and Malcolm would use to describe Macbeth's rule is pernicious. When something is pernicious, it has a harmful effect (on something).
The rest of the words don't fit at all. The adjective judicious refers to something that shows or is done with good judgment. The adjective sundry means of various kinds, and when someone is credulous, they are too ready to believe that something is true.
This is why option D is the correct one.

d. pernicious

In line 104, what does Martha mean when she says “His face looked innocent, but I knew better.”?
Answer:
Martha says that Mr. Schmidt's "face looked innocent" because he thinks that she has no idea about how there were a short misunderstanding and controversy over who must get the scholarship while in reality, Martha had overheard the conversation. Moreover, she has also had to deal with a short disappointment in getting the jacket, like she rightly deserves to.
Explanation:
Marta Salinas's short story "The Scholarship Jacket," tells the story of a school girl named Martha and her achievement of getting the school's scholarship jacket, though not without any obstacles along the way. But despite the short disappointment, Martha was able to get the long-awaited jacket that she has been vying for a long time.
When Martha said "His face looked innocent, but I knew better", she was referring to Mr. Schmidt, her history teacher who she overheard having a tense conversation with her math teacher Mr. Boone over who should be given the jacket. While Mr. Boone favors Joann whose father is rich and a Board member, Mr. Schmidt wants Martha to get it and she rightly deserves it because of her perfect grades. But both teachers did not know Martha overheard their conversation.
So, when Mr. Schmidt congratulated her, Martha stated that "his face looked innocent" as if Martha doesn't know anything about the conversation or even the disappointment she was given on the path to getting the jacket. But in truth, Martha knew everything and that was why she admitted "[she] knew better."
