Read the passage from "The Lady, or the Tiger.”
Directly opposite him, on the other side of the inclosed space, were two doors, exactly alike and side by side. It was the duty and the privilege of the person on trial to walk directly to these doors and open one of them. He could open either door he pleased; he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance.
What is the author’s purpose for describing the two doors as absolutely identical?
This question is missing the answer choices. I was able to find the complete question online. The choices are the following:
A. to reveal that the outcome of the trial is decided by luck.
B. to show that the verdict is predetermined.
C. to reveal that the defendants are in control of the verdict.
D. to emphasize that the trial is completely fair.
Answer:
The author's purpose for describing the two doors as absolutely identical is:
A. to reveal that the outcome of the trial is decided by luck.
Explanation:
"The Lady, or the Tiger" is a short story by American author and humorist Frank Richard Stockton (18340-1902). In the story, a king is described as semi-barbaric, which shows he is only partially civilized. He understands the importance of a trial to decide whether someone is guilty of a crime or not. However, the trial he comes up with is absurd, and the outcome is decided by sheer luck.
The person being accused of the crime is led to an arena. There, he is supposed to choose between two doors. Behind one of them, he will find a beautiful maiden. Behind the other one, he will find a tiger. The doors are completely identical - nothing about them reveals what is behind them. Thus, it is really a matter of luck whether the man will choose the lady or the tiger. If he chooses the door with the maiden, he is found innocent, and his reward is to marry her immediately. If he chooses the door with the tiger, he is found guilty, and his punishment is to be eaten by the animal.
As we can see, it does not matter whether the person really committed a crime or not. What matters is how lucky he is to choose to right door.

Andy smiled as he and his field day team stepped up to their last activity. They were in first place, and Andy
could already feel the medal around his neck. “How exciting!” Mrs. Emory said. “You two teams are tied with
the highest score of the day.” “Tied?” Andy said. “But we beat them at the relay race.” “Yes, but that was their
only loss,” Mrs. Emory said. “Your team also has one loss, so you are both tied for first place.”
Andy crossed his arms in front of his chest. He didn’t want to think about the balloon toss. He’d been the first
one to drop his balloon. “This event is a hula hoop challenge,” Mrs. Emory said, handing everyone a hula hoop.
“Your challenge is to hula hoop for as long as possible. Once your hoop hits the ground, you will be
disqualified. The last person hula hooping will win the event for their team.” Andy’s eyes widened. He’d never
hula hooped before. He looked at the rest of his team. Becky seemed confident and so did Cory.
Mrs. Emory blew her whistle. “Begin!” Andy watched Rachelle and mimicked everything she did. But no
matter how hard he tried, the hoop wouldn’t stay up. It bobbled and fell to his ankles. He stepped aside and
cheered for Becky and Cory who were the only ones left to battle Rachelle. Becky sneezed and her hoop
toppled to the ground. Andy grumbled, but he started cheering even louder for Cory. Andy stared at Rachelle.
She looked relaxed as the hoop twirled around her. Her team was chanting her name, and it took Andy a
moment to realize Cory had dropped his hoop. The challenge was over, and Rachelle had won, which meant
Andy’s team had lost. But Andy couldn’t help cheering for Rachelle as she continued to hula hoop. Rachelle
was still hula hooping when Mrs. Emory gave out the medals. Andy wore his second place medal with pride
as he congratulated Rachelle, the true field day champion.
In paragraph 1, what is the author's purpose in mentioning ‘Andy could already feel the medal
around his neck?’
a) Andy was already wearing the medal.
b) Andy had told Mrs. Emory to make him the winner.
c) His team had won all the races, so he was sure he would win.
d) To show that Andy was confident that his team would win
Answer:
d) To show that Andy was confident that his team would win

n the story Little Women, one family brings breakfast to another on Christmas morning. Read this passage and then answer the question that follows:
A poor, bare, miserable room it was, with broken windows, no fire, ragged bedclothes, a sick mother, wailing baby, and a group of pale, hungry children cuddled under one old quilt, trying to keep warm.
How the big eyes stared and the blue lips smiled as the girls went in.
"Ach, mein Gott! It is good angels come to us!" said the poor woman, crying for joy.
What explicit meaning can you find about the sick woman and her children from this text?
The father of the children left the family.
The children were cold and had not eaten.
The family bringing gifts pitied the children.
The woman would soon die from her illness.
Answer:
The children were cold and had not eaten
Explanation:
Nowhere in this excerpt has there mentioned a father leaving the family. The family that brought the gifts was not described as pitying the poor family. The excerpt doesn't say that the woman would soon die from her illness.
In situations like this, don't assume something that the passage didn't say.

The statement is a fact because it contains an expression that can be proven true.
Explanation:
A fact is an opinion that can be proven true whereas a reasoned judgment is an opinion supported by evidence. The statement that the brain activates a greater part of the brain is verifiable from previously conducted studies that were not cited by the speaker. However, his expression was based on that fact. A reasoned judgment would have expressed the opinion and immediately used facts and statistics to support it.
Therefore, the statement is a fact.

The excerpt :
Eventually, I visited Guyana to find out the fate of our house. As our car passed old sugar estates, and I saw the palm trees bending against the wide sky, the lush cane growing in thick, shiny rows, the villages, which were really parcels of land surrounding the important estates, I realized that sugar had been the entire reason for this country's existence. Every now and then an old boiling house—where the cane is processed into crystals, molasses, and rum—would show itself on the flat landscape, cropping up like a hulking ghost
