Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are
met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate-we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled, here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here,
but can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly
carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion
to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion-that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain;
that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

There has been much debate in our community lately about the starting time of schools. It is clear from the evidence presented that the high school needs to have a later starting time. Records show that 70 percent of tardy high school students show up before the end of first period. Some residents believe that this is due to early morning doctor appointments, but only eight percent of those students had medical excuses. They are simply sleeping in. Additionally, parents of younger children complain that they have to wait until 8:45 to see their kids off to elementary school.

How would the author best to an opposing argument that claims changing the high school start and end times would interfere with the bus schedule?

A. By illustrating the way that students achievements has been raised as a result of later start time.
B. By showing that the high school and elementary school bus schedules could be swapped with a little trouble.
C. By comparing the number of students who attend high school to the number of students who attend elementary school.
D. By suggesting that changing the start and end times would also interfere with the extracurricular activities.​

Which two parts of this excerpt from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim’s Progress show that the central character is devoutly religious and God-fearing?

Then said Evangelist, Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils? The man answered, Because I fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and I shall fall into Tophet [Isa. 30:33] And, Sir, if I be not fit to go to prison, I am not fit, I am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry

Then said Evangelist, If this be thy condition, why standest thou still? He answered, Because I know not whither to go. Then he gave him a parchment roll, and there was written within, Flee from the wrath to come. [Matt. 3.7]
The man therefore read it, and looking upon Evangelist very carefully, said, Whither must I fly?
Then said Evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, Do you see yonder wicket-gate? [Matt. 7:13,14] The man said, No. Then said the other, Do you see yonder shining light? [Ps. 119:105; 2 Pet. 1:19] He said, I think I do. Then said Evangelist, Keep that light in your eye, and go up directly thereto: so shalt thou see the gate; at which, when thou knockest, it shall be told thee what thou shalt do.
