Thus she (Harriet Tubman) forced them (the fugitive slaves) to go on. Sometimes she thought she had become nothing but a voice speaking in the darkness, cajoling, urging, threatening. Sometimes she told them things to make them laugh, sometimes she sang to them, and heard the eleven voices behind her blending softly with hers, and then she knew that for the moment all was well with them.She gave the impression of being a short, muscular, indomitable woman who could never be defeated. Yet at any moment she was liable to be seized by one of those curious fits of sleep, which might last for a few minutes or for hours.Even on this trip, she suddenly fell asleep in the woods. The runaways, ragged, dirty, hungry, cold, did not steal the gun as they might have, and set off by themselves, or turn back. They sat on the ground near her and waited patiently until she awakened.What is the topic of this passage?A. Freeing slavesB. Harriet TubmanC. Falling asleep in the woodsD. Being a good friend

Often Andy just wandered through the woods to think or to write a poem. Sometimes he sat quietly for hours, studying animal behavior. He spotted deer and red foxes. He captured salamanders, snakes, mice, and moles; after learning all he could from observing each animal, Andy carefully carried it back to its home in the woods.The wetlands were too important to cover with concrete and steel.

He couldn’t permit blaring car horns to muffle the cree of the red-tailed hawk.“So I drafted a petition for the residents to sign to try to stop the developer from building,” Andy says. “I walked around the neighborhood and collected 180 signatures.

We had been running all morning and were tired; some of the dogs were young and could not sustain a long run. So we stopped in the middle of the afternoon when they seemed to want to rest. I made a fire, set up a gentle, peaceful camp, and we went to sleep for hours.It hadn’t snowed yet, so we had been running with a three-wheel cart, which meant we had to run on logging roads and open areas. I had been hard pressed to find new country to run in to keep the young dogs from becoming bored and this logging trail was one we hadn’t run. It had been rough going, with a lot of ruts and mud and the cart was a mess so I spent some time fixing it after I awakened, carving off the dried mud. The end result was we didn’t get going again until close to one in the morning. This did not pose a problem except as soon as I hooked the dogs up and got them lined out—I was running an eight-dog team– my head lamp went out.”What is the topic of the first paragraph?A. Making campB. Giving the dogs a restC. Fixing the cartD. the head lamp going out

The next day, the proclamation was released to the press. Throughout the North, opponents of slavery hailed the measure, and black people rejoiced. Frederick Douglass, the black abolitionist, had criticized Lincoln severely in the past.

We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves,…In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give, and what we preserve.”On New Year’s Day, after a fitful night’s sleep, Lincoln sat at his White House desk and put the finishing touches on his historic decree.

She is staring straight ahead, the muscles of her face contracting slightly. With a small gesture she summons the native boy standing behind her chair. She whispers to him.

When Clay Dilham left the tent to get a sled-load of firewood, he expected to be back in half an hour. So he told Swanson, who was cooking dinner. Swanson and he belonged to different outfits, located about twenty miles apart on the Steward River, but they had become traveling partners on a trip down the Yukon to Dawson to get the mail.Clay studied the cliff thoroughly before attempting it. So far as he was concerned, the longest way round was the shortest way to the tree. Twenty feet of nearly perpendicular climbing would bring him to where a slide sloped more gently in. By making a long zigzag across the face of this slide and back again, he would make it to the pine…The slide was steep and its snow-covered surface slippery…a slip at that point meant a plunge over the edge and a twenty foot fall to the ice. A hundred feet farther along, and a slip would mean a fifty-foot fall.Which of the following is the best summary of the passage?A. Clay Dilham and Swanson became friends while travelling to get mail.B. Clay tries to figure out the best way to get to the pine but realizes that the climb up the snow-covered cliffs will be very dangerous.C.
