Read the excerpt and answer the question.

So that, thus it is that natural men are held in the hand of God, over the pit of hell; they have deserved the fiery pit, and are already sentenced to it; and God is dreadfully provoked, his anger is as great towards them as to those that are actually suffering the executions of the fierceness of his wrath in hell, and they have done nothing in the least to appease or abate that anger, neither is God in the least bound by any promise to hold them up one moment; the devil is waiting for them, hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them, and swallow them up; the fire pent up in their own hearts is struggling to break out: and they have no interest in any Mediator, there are no means within reach that can be any security to them. In short, they have no refuge, nothing to take hold of; all that preserves them every moment is the mere arbitrary will and uncovenanted, unobligated forbearance of an incensed God.

Read the excerpts from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry" and "Speaking Arabic."

My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. He took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of Spanish, English, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry.

At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel-so lonely for one." And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. Which best states how the structures of the excerpts are similar?

A. Each presents factual evidence to appeal to the reader's logic.

B. Each documents career credentials to appeal to the reader's ethics.

C. Each discusses a friend to appeal to the reader's sense of community.

D. Each relates an anecdote to appeal to the reader's emotions.​

There are 36 lines in the poem. The poem is numbered every 5 lines. ,end italics,




,begin bold,A Saddle & the World,end bold,




In Palestine, an old disheveled street,

a wall of tiny shops, where grass grows between crumpled stone,

I stand and watch in the shadow of the wall.

Pots and tin pans and brooms and woven straw mats,

even handmade saddles, spill into the narrow street.

Heavy saddles, covered with burlap, to fit horses,

mules, donkeys, sewn by someone who knows saddles.

A woman in a ,begin italics,thobe,end italics,—a long black dress,

hand-embroidered with red cross-stitching on chest and sides—

pokes around the saddles.

Bending down, she touches, pats, caresses,

like a woman buying cloth.

Finally she lifts her head, then do-si-dos,superscript,1,baseline,

toward the bald man who owns the shop

and asks the price of the saddle she likes best.

But the price isn't set in stone and will change, like the weather,

if you have some smarts at this haggling game.

Like fencing,,superscript,2,baseline, you dance with agile steps around each other,

touch with the point of your foil,,superscript,3,baseline, but never wound.

He says, she says. Words fly, as conductor-hands

sweep the air for emphasis. The woman nods,

and a corner of her mouth lifts. She fingers the coins

inside the slit in her belt.

"Sold! To the woman in embroidered dress!" the auctioneer would call out

if she lived in Texas. Or Oklahoma. Or even New York.

But in Palestine where she lives, a thousand women in embroidered

dresses

would stand to claim the prize.

I, in the uniform of my faded American jeans,

ask the woman a foolish question,

"How will you take this saddle home?"

The woman's face cracks open, a smile spills out.

Squatting, she picks up the saddle, an Olympian heavyweight champion,

she hoists the saddle in the air, then lowers it onto her head.

She stands tall, this Palestinian Yoga-woman, her head not merely holding

a saddle,

But the world.

Which excerpt best reflects common features of realistic fiction?
"This little affair," said the Time Traveller, resting his elbows upon the table and pressing his hands together above the apparatus, "is only a model. It is my plan for a machine to travel through time. You will notice that it looks singularly askew, and that there is an odd twinkling appearance about this bar, as though it was in some way unreal." He pointed to the part with his finger. "Also, here is one little white lever, and here is another." (H. G. Wells, The Time Machine) So Christian turned out of his way to go to Mr. Legality's house for help; but, behold, when he was got now hard by the hill, it seemed so high, and also that side of it that was next the wayside did hang so much over, that Christian was afraid to venture further, lest the hill should fall on his head; wherefore there he stood still and wotted not what to do. Also his burden now seemed heavier to him than while he was in his way. There came also flashes of fire out of the hill, that made Christian afraid that he should be burned. (John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress) From a window of an apartment house that upreared its form from amid squat, ignorant stables, there leaned a curious woman. Some laborers, unloading a scow at a dock at the river, paused for a moment and regarded the fight. The engineer of a passive tugboat hung lazily to a railing and watched. Over on the Island, a worm of yellow convicts came from the shadow of a building and crawled slowly along the river's bank. (Stephen Crane, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets) Wolf meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink
