I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a Cloud That floats on high o'er vales and Hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden Daffodils; Beside the Lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A Poet could not but be gay In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude, And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the Daffodils.

According to The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, what detail helped scholars determine that the second Egyptian inscription was a simpler form of Egyptian writing that had been created by “the people”?

The scholars had seen examples of it before written on rolls of papyrus, a writing material used by the Egyptians.
Since the scholars had already studied Egyptian languages, they recognized both the hieroglyphs and the demotic version.
The Greek inscription, which had already been deciphered, explained how to translate each of the Egyptian passages.
Since only ancient Egyptians understood hieroglyphs, the scholars knew the second inscription had to be a simpler version of the first.

Read this excerpt from a NASA report titled “Cosmic Fountain Powered by Giant Black Hole.” Use the skills demonstrated in this lesson to define any unfamiliar words and make sure you understand the passage’s main ideas.

Cold gas falls toward the central black hole, like water entering the pump of a fountain. Some of this infalling gas . . . eventually reaches the vicinity of the black hole, where the black hole's gravity causes the gas to swirl around with ever-increasing speeds, and the gas is heated to temperatures of millions of degrees. This swirling motion also creates strong electromagnetic forces that launch high-velocity jets of particles that shoot out of the galaxy.

What is the MOST accurate summary of this excerpt?

A)Cold gas moves rapidly toward the black hole. When it is close enough to be affected by the black hole’s gravity, the gas begins to pulse faster and faster as it becomes very hot. The pulsing motion produces forces from the electric field that cause particles to bounce around the galaxy at very low speeds.

B)Cold gas moves toward the black hole. When it is close enough to be affected by the black hole’s gravity, the gas begins to swirl faster and faster as it becomes very hot. The swirling motion produces forces from the electric and magnetic fields that cause particles to shoot out of the galaxy at very high speeds.

C)Cold gas moves slowly toward the black hole. When it is close enough to be affected by the black hole’s gravity, the gas begins to flare up and becomes very cold. The flares produce forces from the magnetic field that cause particles to shoot out of the galaxy at very moderate speeds.

D)Hot gas moves toward the black hole. When it is close enough to be affected by the black hole’s gravity, the gas begins to build up and it becomes very bright. This buildup produces forces from the electric and magnetic field that cause particles to disappear into the galaxy in a matter of seconds.
