Item 7
Too Fast

Batnik’s father was a great inventor. He had created many things that made people’s lives easier. One of his inventions was a car that could operate on both water and land; this car was Batnik’s favorite. On water, it could float and travel at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. But on land, it could travel at speeds over 200 miles per hour. Batnik’s father had created this special car to help people from their island get to the mainland and other islands faster. When Batnik's father was a boy, the only method of travel from one island to another was by ferry, and the trip often took hours. People who were sick and needed medical help from the mainland would have to endure the long crossing or not go at all because of delays. Batnik’s father loved his homeland and wanted to ease the burden on the people, so he created the water car.

When he showed the car to Batnik, Batnik’s father warned Batnik that the car should not be driven at the maximum speed on land or water because the engine could burst into flame. One day when his father was away, Batnik decided that he wanted to show the car to his friends. He drove it on the water, at first going only half the possible speed. Then, as his excitement grew, he increased his speed on the water and was nearing maximum speed. When he reached the land, he continued to accelerate. His exhilaration grew. Like the mythological Greek boy Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, Batnik forgot his father’s warning and pushed the gas pedal to the floor. When the car exceeded 200 miles per hour, it burst into flames.

It Sifts from Leaden Sieves
by Emily Dickinson

It sifts from Leaden Sieves —
It powders all the Wood.
It fills with Alabaster Wool
The Wrinkles of the Road —

It makes an even Face
Of Mountain, and of Plain —
Unbroken Forehead from the East
Unto the East again —

It reaches to the Fence —
It wraps it Rail by Rail
Till it is lost in Fleeces —
It deals Celestial Vail

To Stump, and Stack — and Stem —
A Summer’s empty Room —
Acres of Joints, where Harvests were,
Recordless, but for them —

It Ruffles Wrists of Posts
As Ankles of a Queen —
Then stills it’s Artisans — like Ghosts —
Denying they have been —

Part A: Which statement accurately describes two themes of The Giver?


People should be kind to each other. People can choose between security and individualism.

Family loves and supports you. Determination and courage give you success.

Honesty is the best policy. Most journeys lead back to home.

People learn from memories and gain wisdom. People can make their own choice.

Part B: Which excerpts create the theme?
Group of answer choices

“There are so many more. I received all of those, when I was selected. And here in this room, all alone, I re-experienced them again and again. It is how wisdom comes. And how we shape our future.” And “They were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance his own was taking on. And Jonas was angry at himself, that he could not change that for them.”

“The next morning, for the first time, Jonas did not take his pill. Something within him, something that had grown there through the memories, told him to throw the pill away.” And “For a contributing citizen to be released from the community was a final decision, a terrible punishment, an overwhelming statement of failure.”

“There was just a moment when things weren’t quite the same, weren’t quite as they had always been through the long friendship.” And “He liked the feeling of safety here in this warm and quiet room; he liked the expression of trust on the woman’s face as she lay in the water unprotected, exposed, and free.”

“No one mentioned such things ‘it was not a rule but was considered rude to call attention to things that were unsettling or different about individuals.” And “The daily training continued, and now it always included pain and agony.”
