Read the passage from "The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor.”

[The porter] followed the servant into a vast room, where a great company was seated round a table covered with all sorts of delicacies. In the place of honor sat a tall, grave man, whose long white beard gave him a venerable air. Behind his chair stood a crowd of attendants eager to minister to his wants. This was the famous Sindbad himself. The porter, more than ever alarmed at the sight of so much magnificence, tremblingly saluted the noble company. Sindbad, making a sign to him to approach, caused him to be seated at his right hand, and himself heaped choice morsels upon his plate, and poured out for him a draught of excellent wine, and presently, when the banquet drew to a close, spoke to him familiarly, asking his name and occupation.

Sonnet XII


by William Shakespeare


When I do count the clock that tells the time,

And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;

When I behold the violet past prime,

And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;

When lofty trees I see barren of leaves

Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,

And summer's green all girded up in sheaves

Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,

Then of thy beauty do I question make,

That thou among the wastes of time must go,

Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake

And die as fast as they see others grow;

And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence

Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

1. There is such a large (and increasing) number of the poor that anyone who can find a workable solution should be honored.

2. My plan would reduce the money spent on abortions and the shame.

3. Twelve-year-old children cannot be sold for enough money to make a profit (compared to the cost of raising them to that age).

4. It is sad to see so many poor families begging in the streets.

5. A newborn child does not cost much to raise for the first year. My plan will affect those over that age; they will not only no longer be a financial burden but will actually contribute to the needs of the family.

6. My calculations show that my plan needs to affect only 120,000 children whose needs are not being met by current methods.

7. My solution is not just for beggar children but for all children and families that are having difficulty surviving.

8. I, therefore, put forth my own solution.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

In the next land we found were Cyclopes,
giants, louts, without a law to bless them.
In ignorance leaving the fruitage of the earth in mystery
to the immortal gods, they neither plow
nor sow by hand, nor till the ground, though grain—
wild wheat and barley—grows untended, and
wine-grapes, in clusters, ripen in heaven's rain.
Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting,
no consultation or old tribal ways,
but each one dwells in his own mountain cave
dealing out rough justice to wife and child,
indifferent to what the others do.

What inference can be made about the Cyclopes?

They are hospitable and welcoming to visitors of their homes.
They are uncivilized creatures who are potentially dangerous.
They will band together against common enemies, if needed.
They value education and sophistication above everything else.
