The prejudice against Nnaemeka’s marriage was not confined to his little village. In Lagos, especially among his people who worked there, it showed itself in a different way. Their women, when they met at their village meeting, were not hostile to Nene. Rather, they paid her such excessive deference as to make her feel she was not one of them. But as time went on, Nene gradually broke through some of this prejudice and even began to make friends among them. Slowly and grudgingly they began to admit that she kept her home much better than most of them. –“Marriage Is a Private Affair,” Chinua Achebe Read the passage from both the feminist and historical perspectives.

Read the excerpt from a short story.
They had laughed at the shabbiness of the hotel. "Oh well," they'd said, "we aren't going to spend any time inside." And
they had not. They'd spent the day and evening sightseeing and had not retreated to their rooms until they were spent.
Now Ana appraised her modest accommodations, remembering how the window in her room had amused her friends,
as it offered a view of a brick wall not six inches away. "You get what you pay for!" they'd exclaimed, closing the heavy
curtains.
The window captured Ana's attention again. As she readied for bed, she heard a persistent tapping coming from outside.
Ana reasoned with herself, reminded herself that only small bird or bug in distress could fit in such a space. The tapping
suggested otherwise, and she turned to investigate.

Read the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes. Keeping in mind the figurative meaning of the staircase, what does the speaker mean by “I’se still climbin’”?

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now—
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

Nuclear Power: No Need for a Meltdown

The ability to split atoms and harness the power released has been around since the 1950s. Nuclear power is a safe, relatively clean, and renewable source of energy.

Considering the energy costs of the United States, it makes good sense to develop the American nuclear power industry. At present there are just over 100 nuclear plants in America providing 20% of our nation's electricity needs. No new nuclear power plants have been built since the 1970s. While America has neglected nuclear power plant development, other countries have enthusiastically utilized nuclear power plants to lessen their greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

Modern advances in nuclear reactor construction and monitoring have resulted in safer energy production. Accidents that occurred in the past, like the famous meltdown at Chernobyl in Russia, are very unlikely in the twenty-first century. Nuclear power is safer than ever before.

Unfortunately, the initial costs in building a nuclear power plant are very high. Nuclear reactors can cost as much as eight billion dollars. Another challenge is that building plants that meet the safety requirements of the American public takes a long time. Financing such long term construction products are often beyond the ability or not in the interests of private commercial banks. Since banks are unwilling or unable to lend the money, the federal government should step in and finance construction. Other governments around the world justify financing nuclear power plant construction as a vital national interest; we should too.

Which of the following best states the author's purpose?

A. To determine the difference between energy sources

B. To inform readers about how nuclear energy works

C. To persuade governments to use more nuclear energy

D. To teach others about the dangers of nuclear energy
