Read the excerpt from "early victorian tea set" by neil macgregor. this is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest british households were then able to afford. but the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver. the historian celina fox explains that tea-time had become a very smart event: in the 1840s the duchess of bedford introduces the ritual of afternoon tea, because by this time dinner had become so late, seven-thirty to eight o’clock, that it was a bit of a gap for the british tummy between lunchtime and evening. for a while there was a revival of tea-drinking, as a sort of meal for sandwiches and so forth, around four o’clock. which line is a direct quotation from an external source? "this is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest british households were then able to afford." "but the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver." "the historian celina fox explains that tea-time had become a very smart event . . ." "in the 1840s the duchess of bedford introduces the ritual of afternoon tea, because by this time dinner had become so late, seven-thirty to eight o’clock . . ."

The line that is a direct quotation from an external source is "the historian Celina Fox explains that tea-time had become a smart event."

The direct quotation implies using exact words from the source or author's writings. The quotation is used at starting and end in order to show that is original writing to give appropriate meaning to the sentence.

Therefore, whenever a person uses external data the name and source should be mentioned to give credit to the original writer.

A Whippoorwill in the Woods


Night after night, it was very nearly enough,
they said, to drive you crazy: a whippoorwill
in the woods repeating itself like the stuck groove
of an LP with a defect, and no way possible
(5) of turning the thing off.


And night after night, they said, in the insomniac
small hours the whipsawing voice of obsession
would have come in closer, the way a sick
thing does when it's done for—or maybe the reason
(10) was nothing more melodramatic


than a night-flying congregation of moths, lured in
in their turn by house-glow, the strange heat
of it—imagine the nebular dangerousness, if one
were a moth, the dark pockmarked with beaks, the great
(15) dim shapes, the bright extinction—


if moths are indeed, after all, what a whippoorwill
favors. Who knows? Anyhow, from one point of view
insects are to be seen as an ailment, moths above all:
the filmed-over, innumerable nodes of spun-out tissue
(20) untidying the trees, the larval


spew of such hairy hordes, one wonders what use
they can be other than as a guarantee no bird
goes hungry. We're like that. The webbiness,
the gregariousness of the many are what we can't abide.
(25) We single out for notice


above all what's disjunct, the way birds are,
with their unhooked-up, cheekily anarchic
dartings and flashings,their uncalled-for color—
the indelible look of the rose-breasted grosbeak
(30) an aunt of mine, a noticer


of such things before the noticing had or needed
a name, drew my five-year-old attention up to, in
the green deeps of a maple. She never married,
believed her cat had learned to leave birds alone,
(35) and for years, node after node,


by lingering degrees she made way within for
what wasn't so much a thing as it was a system,
a webwork of error that throve until it killed her.
What is health? We must all die sometime.
(40) Whatever it is out there


in the woods, that begins to seem like
a species of madness, we survive as we can:
the hooked-up, the humdrum, the brief, tragic
wonder of being at all. The whippoorwill out in
(45) the woods, for me, brought back


as by a relay, from a place at such a distance
no recollection now in place could reach so far,
the memory of a memory she told me of once:
of how her father, my grandfather, by whatever
(50) now unfathomable happenstance,


carried her (she might have been five) into the breathing night.
"Listen!" she said he'd said. “Did you hear it?
That was a whippoorwill.” And she (and I) never forgot.

Read the excerpt from anthem. but i still wonder how it was possible, in those graceless years of transition, long ago, that men did not see whither they were going, and went on, in blindness and cowardice, to their fate. i wonder, for it is hard for me to conceive how men who knew the word "i," could give it up and not know what they lost. based on the excerpt, it can be inferred that the narrator believes that the council took men’s freedom from them. men surrendered to conformity and gave up their own freedom. men had freedom all along and did not realize it. the council led men to think they were free to choose their destinies.

America is false to the past, false to the present, and solemnly
binds herself to be false to the future. Standing with God and the crushed and bleeding slave on this occasion , I will, in the name of humanity which is outraged, in the name of livery which is fettered, in the name of the constitution and the Bible, which are disregarded and trampled upon, dare to call in question and to denounce, with all the emphasis I can command, everything that serves to perpetuate slavery — the great sun and shame of America !

Just as the Nebraska landscape initially seems formless to Jim, his narrative begins
in a seemingly unstructured way. Many early critics of the novel complained about its
lack of structure and didn’t consider it a proper novel. The book has little in the way of a
conventional plot, but it still forms a cohesive whole. What unifies the narrative? How
does Cather bring the novel full circle, mirroring Jim’s observation, “What a little circle
man’s experience is”?

Many years ago, when the world was so young that the sun was still new in the sky, there lived two friends. Heron was large and slow, with a long, gangly neck and big, floppy wings. Hummingbird was tiny and swift, with wings that moved so quickly that they buzzed and a slender beak as sleek as a needle.

Heron and Hummingbird both loved to eat fish from the river. Every morning, Heron would fish to her heart's content, eating until her stomach was so round and heavy that she had to waddle back to shore. Every afternoon, Hummingbird would fish and feast until he was so heavy that his tiny, buzzing wings could no longer keep him in the air. Heron and Hummingbird thought they were the luckiest birds in the world.

One afternoon, Hummingbird did not catch as many fish as usual. He fished and he fished, but his line came up empty more times than it ever had before. He flew to Heron's house.

"Heron! Heron!" he called. "Why have you eaten all the fish?"

Heron bustled to her door, angry and surprised at her friend's accusation.

"Me? Eat all the fish?" she squawked. "I barely caught anything this morning! My poor stomach has been growling all day."

The two birds began to argue over who had eaten more fish. Finally, Hummingbird raised his wing to stop the debate.

"I do not think there are enough fish left in the river for both of us," he said. "Let's have a race. Whoever reaches the dead tree on the other side of the hills first owns all the fish. The loser has to find something else to eat."

Heron agreed. They prepared to race. Hummingbird was certain that he would win. He watched Heron as she awkwardly stretched her wings and prepared to fly. This will be like catching fish in a barrel, he thought with a grin.

Hummingbird zoomed past Heron as soon as the race began. He flew so far ahead that he lost sight of her behind him. He slowed down as he passed a patch of wildflowers. They smelled so sweet that he had to stop and look at them more closely. Hummingbird just had to try some of their nectar. He drank until his belly was heavy and his eyelids drooped. Perhaps just a short nap, he thought, as he settled himself into a nest of soft leaves.

It was late in the day when Hummingbird woke up. He stretched his wings and glanced at the sky. He could just make out the shape of Heron, flying slowly but surely toward the dead tree. She was almost done with the race! Hummingbird zipped into the air and flew as fast as he could, but it was too late. Heron reached the tree first. From that day forward, Heron owned the fish, and Hummingbird lived on nectar.

Select the sentence from the story that supports the inference that Heron was happy at the beginning of the story.

aHeron and Hummingbird thought they were the luckiest birds in the world.
b Heron was large and slow, with a long, gangly neck and big, floppy wings.
c One afternoon, Hummingbird did not catch as many fish as usual.
d The two birds began to argue over who had eaten more fish.
