(06.03 MC)Read the poem “War Dreams” by Walt Whitman. Then answer the question that follows.WAR DREAMS1.In clouds descending, in midnight sleep, of many a face in battle,Of the look at first of the mortally wounded, of that indescribable look,Of the dead on their backs, with arms extended wide—   I dream, I dream, I dream.2.Of scenes of nature, the fields and the mountains, Of the skies so beauteous after the storm, and at night the moon so unearthly bright, Shining sweetly, shining down, where we dig the trenches, and gather the heaps— I dream, I dream, I dream.3.Long have they passed, long lapsed—faces, and trenches, and fields:Long through the carnage I moved with a callous composure, or away from thefallenOnward I sped at the time. But now of their faces and forms, at night,   I dream, I dream, I dream. Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

  (04.01 MC)Read Cicero’s views on ambition and answer the question that follows.”… men seek riches partly to supply the needs of life, partly to secure the enjoyment of pleasure. The dangers of ambition. With those who cherish higher ambitions, the desire for wealth is entertained with a view to power and influence and the means of bestowing favours; Marcus Crassus, for example, not long since declared that no amount of wealth was enough for the man who aspired to be the foremost citizen of the state, unless with the income from it he could maintain an army. Fine establishments and the comforts of life in elegance and abundance also afford pleasure, and the desire to secure it gives rise to the insatiable thirst for wealth. Still, I do not mean to find fault with the accumulation of property, provided it hurts nobody, but unjust acquisition of it is always to be avoided. The great majority of people, however, when they fall a prey to ambition for either military or civil authority, are carried away by it so completely that they quite lose sight of the claims of justice.”   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

Then answer the question that follows.From a WindowUp here, with June, the sycamore throws         Across the window a whispering screen;   I shall miss the sycamore more, I suppose,Than anything else on this earth that is out in green.      But I mean to go through the door without fear,      Not caring much what happens here            When I’m away:—How green the screen is across the panes      Or who goes laughing along the lanes   With my old lover all summer day.   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

  (04.01 HC)Read the following excerpt from James Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man and answer the question that follows.My mother and I lived together in a little cottage which seemed to me to be fitted up almost luxuriously; there were horse-hair-covered chairs in the parlor, and a little square piano; there was a stairway with red carpet on it leading to a half second story; there were pictures on the walls, and a few books in a glass-doored case. My mother dressed me very neatly, and I developed that pride which well-dressed boys generally have. She was careful about my associates, and I myself was quite particular. As I look back now I can see that I was a perfect little aristocrat. My mother rarely went to anyone’s house, but she did sewing, and there were a great many ladies coming to our cottage. If I was around they would generally call me, and ask me my name and age and tell my mother what a pretty boy I was. Some of them would pat me on the head and kiss me.   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

  (05.01 MC)Read the excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and answer the question that follows.Meanwhile the fog and darkness thickened so, that people ran about with flaring links, proffering their services to go before horses in carriages, and conduct them on their way. The ancient tower of a church, whose gruff old bell was always peeping slily down at Scrooge out of a Gothic window in the wall, became invisible, and struck the hours and quarters in the clouds, with tremulous vibrations afterwards as if its teeth were chattering in its frozen head up there. The cold became intense. In the main street, at the corner of the court, some labourers were repairing the gas-pipes, and had lighted a great fire in a brazier, round which a party of ragged men and boys were gathered: warming their hands and winking their eyes before the blaze in rapture.   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.
