3.In 1534 CE, King Henry VIII of England split with the Catholic Church and declared
himself head of the Church of England, in part because Pope Clement VII refused to
annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Two years later, Henry VIII introduced a
policy titled the Dissolution of the Monasteries that by 1540 had resulted in the closure
of all Catholic monasteries in England and the confiscation of their estates. Some
historians assert that the enactment of the policy was primarily motivated by perceived
financial opportunities.
Which quotation from a scholarly article best supports the assertion of the historians
mentioned in the text?
“The October 1536 revolt known as the Pilgrimage of Grace had several economic
motives: high food prices due to a poor harvest the prior year; the Dissolution of the
Monasteries, which closed reliable sources of food and shelter for many; and rents and
taxes throughout Northern England that were not merely high but predatory.”
“At the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, about 2 percent of the adult male
population of England were monks; by 1690, the proportion of the adult male population
who were monks was less than 1 percent.”
“A contemporary description of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Michael Sherbrook’s
Falle of the Religious Howses, recounts witness testimony that monks were allowed to
keep the contents of their cells and that the monastery timber was purchased by local
yeomen.”
“In 1535, the year before enacting the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Henry
commissioned a survey of the value of church holdings in England—the work,
performed by sheriffs, bishops, and magistrates, began that January and was swiftly
completed by the summer.”

4.Barchester Towers is an 1857 novel by Anthony Trollope. In the novel, Trollope’s
portrayal of Dr. Proudie underscores the character’s exaggerated sense of his own
abilities: ______
Which quotation from Barchester Towers most effectively illustrates the claim?
“[Dr. Proudie] was certainly possessed of sufficient tact to answer the purpose for which
he was required without making himself troublesome.”
“[Dr. Proudie’s] residence in the metropolis, rendered necessary by duties thus
entrusted to him, his high connexions, and the peculiar talents and nature of the man,
recommended him to persons in power.”
“[Dr. Proudie] was comparatively young, and had, as he fondly flattered himself, been
selected as possessing such gifts, natural and acquired, as must be sure to recommend
him to a yet higher notice.”
“It must not…be taken as proved that Dr. Proudie was a man of great mental powers, or
even of much capacity for business, for such qualities had not been required in him.”

5.A member of the Otomi, an Indigenous people in Central Mexico, Octavio Medellín
immigrated to the United States as a child, and his sculpture bears the impress of
traditions on both sides of the border: US based modernist sculpture, Mexican
modernist painting, Otomi art, and the ancient sculpture of other Mexican Indigenous
peoples, including the Maya. In his 1950 masterpiece History of Mexico, Medellín fuses
these influences into a style so idiosyncratic that it resists efforts to view his work
through the lens of nationality or cultural identity. Artists, he insisted, should strive for
individual expression, even as they draw inspiration from their heritage and the
communities where they live and work.
Which quotation from an art critic most directly challenges the underlined claim in the
text?
Which quotation from "Jane Eyre" most effectively illustrates the claim?
"I remembered that the real world was wide, and that a varied field of hopes and fears,
of sensations and excitements, awaited those who had the courage to go forth into its
expanse."
"It is vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have
action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."
"I would always rather be happy than dignified."
"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent
will."

______
Which quotation from Sense and Sensibility most effectively illustrates the claim?

him on the subject of books.”
“It was only necessary to mention any favourite amusement to engage her to talk. She
could not be silent when such points were introduced, and she had neither shyness nor
reserve in their discussion.”
“Above all, when she heard him declare, that of music and dancing he was passionately
fond, she gave him such a look of approbation as secured the largest share of his
discourse to herself for the rest of his stay.”
“Their taste was strikingly alike. The same books, the same passages were idolized by
each—or if any difference appeared, any objection arose, it lasted no longer than till the
force of her arguments and the brightness of her eyes could be displayed.”

sleepless eyes, / Watching the continents sink and rise.”

too old now, myself, to trouble about setting a good example, but I always admire
people who do.”

the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.”

19.In addition to her technical skill and daring feats, American stunt pilot Bessie
Coleman was also known for dazzling the crowds that came to watch her air shows in
the 1920s with her exuberant personality. During her career, she was careful and
purposeful about how she crafted her public persona. An aviation researcher has
claimed that Coleman intentionally defied social norms of the time by how she chose to
present herself to the public.
Which quotation from an article about Coleman would most directly support the aviation
researcher’s claim?
“While Coleman was beloved by spectators for her charisma, she had a more
complicated relationship with her managers and staff, who at times found her behavior
too impulsive and demanding.”
“Coleman once considered leaving her career as a stunt pilot to focus her efforts on
giving speeches, which she felt would better support her public image.”
“For her air shows, Coleman frequently used the Curtiss JN-4, or ‘Jenny,’ which at that
time was one of the most well-known types of planes.”
“Although female pilots were typically expected to wear traditional but impractical attire
that included dresses or skirts, photographs of Coleman show her wearing pants and
leather jackets.”

pines, and rests, bewildered-like, on the court-house tower. It is dull silver in the
moonlight.”
“Night winds in Georgia are vagrant poets, whispering. Kabnis, against his will, lets his
book slip down, and listens to them.”

22.A museum curator is writing a biographical statement about Trinidadian-born
Chinese dancer, choreographer, and teacher Dai Ailian for a new exhibit on Chinese
dance. The curator claims that some of the pieces Dai created shortly after arriving in
mainland China in 1941, such as the solo dance Yao Drum, reflect a desire to represent
the dances of local communities Dai visited during her travels through China.
Which quotation from a work by a dance historian would be the most effective evidence
for the curator to include in support of this claim?
“Unlike some of the works Dai created in the early 1940s, Yao Drum does not feature a
narrative structure, humorous elements, or references to real-life events.”
“There is no sound or music accompanying Dai’s movements in Yao Drum, aside from
the sounds of drumsticks beating against a drum and against each other.”
“Yao Drum is notable for its intense physicality, with Dai performing sharp jumps, swift
turns, and dramatic sweeps of her legs through the air as she moves in circles on the
stage.”
"Yao Drum was inspired by a ceremonial dance Dai witnessed during her time
performing field research among the Yao people in the province of Guizhou in 1941 or
1942.”

Which quotation from a literary critic best supports the student’s claim?
“Tobar got his start as a volunteer for El Tecolote, a community newspaper in San
Francisco, and wrote for newspapers for years before earning a degree in creative
writing and starting to publish works of fiction.”
“For one novel, an imagined account of a real person’s global travels, Tobar approached
his subject like a reporter, interviewing people the man had met along the way and
researching the man’s own writings.”
“The protagonist of Tobar’s third novel is a man who wants to be a novelist and keeps
notes about interesting people he encounters so he can use them when developing
characters for his stories.”
“Many of Tobar’s notable nonfiction articles are marked by the writer’s use of
techniques usually associated with fiction, such as complex narrative structures and the
incorporation of symbolism.”
