Have you ever wondered what swims in the deepest parts of the world's oceans? Well, we just got a better idea about one mysterious creature of the deep ocean: the giant squid. Just recently a Japanese film crew managed to film a giant squid swimming in its natural habitat. They managed to lure it to their cameras with bait after many hours of waiting and searching two thousand feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. The giant squid is truly a giant. It can grow up to 50 feet in length, with tentacles making up most of this great length. For comparison, 50 feet is about as long as most school buses. Imagine meeting something the size of your school bus in the deep dark ocean and you might get an idea what it is like to meet a squid. Over the centuries, many squid specimens have been found, but it's hard to get an idea of how the squid lives because it typically cruises in the deepest depths of the ocean. We know that the giant squid's main predator is the sperm whale. We know this because bits of giant squid have been found in the stomachs of sperm whales. We also know they feed on deep-sea fish and other squid. We know this because of all the giant squid that have washed ashore. The giant squid lives in all of the world's oceans, though few are found in the tropics or the Arctic waters. As a result, stories of giant squid were told among sailors for hundreds of years. These sightings must have been frightening and may be the source for the legend of the Kraken, a sea monster reputed to be as large as an island and capable of eating an entire ship. Based on the bolded paragraph, what does the author suggest by comparing a squid to a school bus?

Please use the following text to answer the question.

Dalits, also known as "Untouchables," are members of the lowest social group in the Hindu caste system. The word "Dalit," meaning "oppressed" or "broken," is the name members of this group gave themselves in the 1930s. A Dalit actually is born below the caste system, which includes four primary castes: Brahmins (priests), Kshatriya (warriors and princes), Vaishya (farmers and artisans), and Shudra (tenant farmers and servants).

According to the text above what is another name for the group of people known as "Dalits?"

Question 1 options:

Vaishyas


Untouchables


Shudras

Question 2 (2 points)
As used in the reading, what does the word “Jatis” refer to?

The caste system, as it actually works in India is called jati. The term jati appears in almost all Indian languages and is related to the idea of lineage or kinship group. There are perhaps more than 3000 jatis in India and there is no one all-Indian system of ranking them in order of status. Yet in each local area jati ranking exists and is very much related to purity and pollution. Each jati has some unique job, but not everyone in the jati performs it. Thus there are barbers who do not shave, carpenters who do not build, and Brahmins who do not act as priests.

Question 2 options:

The thousands of subcastes in India


Marriage between members of different caste groups


The over complication of the caste system

Answer the following 2 questions after reading the passage below



The Minoans



In the year 1900, Sir Arthur Evans, a British archaeologist, discovered the

buried ruins of a huge palace at Knossos (NAH-suhs), on the Mediterranean

island of Crete (kreet). Evans had stumbled on the remains of the earliest

civilization in Europe, one that flourished from about 3000 to 1100 B.C.E

Evans named it the Minoan civilization, after King Minos (MIY-nuhs), a

mythical ruler of Crete. As Evans dug up the ruins of the palace, he was astonished to find how wealthy and advanced the Minoan culture had been. He uncovered the remains of a sophisticated plumbing system that piped fresh water into the palace. His most striking discovery, however, was a series of frescoes—wall paintings made by applying colors to wet plaster. Some of the frescoes depicted plants and animals. Others showed Cretan men and women dressed in elegant clothes.
