My favorite book we read this semester was The Swimming Contest by Benjamin Tammuz. The Swimming Contest is a short story set in the summer home of an Arabian woman in the Orange Groves. The narrator loses a swimming race at the gove to an Arabian boy, but promises to beat him when he grows up. The story in this case takes place during a period of conflict between Arabs and Jews. This setting was critical to the plot of the story and served as its foundation.

Everybody in the United States has heard the song about the star-spangled banner. Nearly everybody has sung it. It was written by Francis Scott Key.
Key was a young lawyer. In the War of 1812 he fought with the American army. The British landed soldiers in Maryland. At Bladensburg they fought and beat the Americans. Key was in this battle on the American side.
After the battle the British army took Washington, and burned the public buildings. Key had a friend who was taken prisoner by the British. He was on one of the British ships. Key went to the ships with a flag of truce. A flag of truce is a white flag. It is carried in war when one side sends a message to the other.
When Key got to the British ships, they were sailing to Baltimore. They were going to try to take Baltimore. The British commander would not let Key go back. He was afraid that he would let the Americans know where the ships were going.
Key was kept a kind of prisoner while the ships attacked Baltimore. The ships tried to take the city by firing at it from the water. The British army tried to take the city on the land side.
The ships did their worst firing at night. They tried to take the little fort near the city.
Key could see the battle. He watched the little fort. He was afraid that the men in it would give up. He was afraid that the fort would be broken down by the cannon balls.
The British fired bomb-shells and rockets at the fort. When these burst, they made a light. By this light Key could see that the little fort was still standing. He could see the flag still waving over it. He tells this in his song in these words:
"And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there."
But after many hours of fighting the British became discouraged. They found that they could not take the city. The ships almost ceased to fire.
Key did not know whether the fort had been knocked down or not. He could not see whether the flag was still flying or not. He thought that the Americans might have given up. He felt what he wrote in the song:
"Oh! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?"
When the break of day came, Key looked toward the fort. It was still standing. There was a flag flying over it. It grew lighter. He could see that it was the American flag. His feelings are told in two lines of the song:
"Tis the star spangled banner, oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave!"
Key was full of joy. He took an old letter from his pocket. The back of this letter had no writing on it. Here he wrote the song about the star-spangled banner.
Which is the best summary statement for this passage?
A) Francis Scott Key was kept as a kind of prisoner on a British ship bombing Baltimore.
B) Francis Scott Key was a young lawyer who fought in the War of 1812 with the American army.
C) The British soldiers became discouraged when they were unable to take the city of Baltimore.
D) Francis Scott Key used the battle for Baltimore as inspiration for writing "The Star-Spangled Banner.

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Goemon jumped up. "Agreed," he said, jamming his "knife" into his sash and slashing at Manjiro’s "sword." Their imaginary swords clashed and clattered as they lunged or leaped aside to avoid being hit. Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace?
A. "imaginary" and "aside"
B. "sash" and "swords"
C. "slashing" and "lunged"
D. "Goeman" and "Manjiro"
Answer:
The words that contribute most to the excerpt's pace are C. "slashing" and "lunged".
Explanation:
When we think of pace, we think of rhythm, of moving fast, slow, with regularity, with cadence, etc. The words an author uses help readers feel the pace of what is being described more intensely. If the characters are acting or moving fast, or if conflicts are developing slowly, the only way for readers to visualize that is through the author's word-choice. In the case of the excerpt we are studying here, we can say the writer establishes a fast pace through the use of the words "slashing" and "lunged". Both words imply rapidity of movement, celerity, quickness and, for that reason, has the readers imagining the scene in a vivid, accelerated manner.

Explanation:
One important economic factor in producing ethanol is its influence on the price of corn. Corn prices have more than doubled since 2005 because of increased demand, according to financial experts. Farmers know that corn is highly sought after, so they allot more space on their farms to grow large amounts of corn. This leaves less room for growing other kinds of crops, such as wheat or soybeans. These smaller amounts force suppliers to raise the prices of these now secondary crops as well. Bread and cereal manufactures are also involved in the economics of ethanol. These companies then pass rising costs of their crops to consumers, leading to higher prices at the grocery store.
Which statement summarizes how the chart illustrates the author's position on ethanol?
A) The chart supports the author's claim that more corn used for ethanol means less corn for livestock.
B) The chart supports the author's claim that not only the price of corn, but the prices of wheat and soybeans have risen as well.
C) The chart supports the author's theory about why the price of corn has risen sharply in the last few years.
D) The chart shows that the history of agriculture has proven that corn prices will level out naturally.

Write a story based on: "We had planned everything except the power cut." 450 words
Please I need this asap
It was a fun day, an easy day. That type of day where one sits back to relax.
Kathy and I were planning to hang out in the basement of my house. Actually, we had planned to be at the park, but it was raining. I had brought snacks while Kathy had brought some delicious drinks.
As we walked down the stairs, I had a feeling today was going to be different. I wasn't sure why so I ignored the feeling.
We had the whole day planned out. We had taken the day off work so we could be together. We were going to do each other's makeup and play truth or dare, what are the odds, and some other various games.
Kathy, being one of those people who can't stand unplanned events, had planned everything out. Well, almost everything.
When we got to my basement, the lights were out. I ran upstairs and grabbed a flashlight, determined not to let this ruin our fun. It was dark upstairs too.
"Kathy, the power has gone out," I said.
She groaned. "Of course it has."
"We'll still have fun!" I said positively.
"If you say so." She rolled her eyes.
"Come on, Kathy," I lightly teased her. "Everything will be fine."
"Sure it will," she remarked snidely.
There was no point in arguing with her, so we got right to having fun.
A while later, after we had made each other look like clowns and eaten all our snacks, we lay on the floor in my basement, completely exhausted.
"That was fun," Kathy smiled as she spoke, sincere.
"Told you!" I smiled back at her.
"I should go now. Bailey -" that would be her dog - "is probably waiting for me at home."
"I'll walk you out," I offered.
I waved as she left. "Be careful!" I reminded her. "The power's out."
She mumbled in response and kept walking.
I headed down to the basement to clean up the mess of snacks and wrappers. I noticed her bag was still there.
I was instantly overtaken by curiosity. I knew I shouldn't, but I still I opened her bag and looked inside.
There was nothing special in there, just typical stuff. I wondered why I had felt the need to open the bag. I grabbed the bag and rushed upstairs in the dark.
"Kathy!" I called in the hallway. Fear was beginning to take over me. "Kathy?" I said, a bit quieter.
"Yes?" Kathy appeared behind me, and her sudden presence scared me.
"You forgot your bag," I said breathlessly.
"Oh thanks, Melissa!" she said as she turned and walked away.
I was almost to my apartment when I heard a shrill yet guttural scream pierce the air. "Kathy?" I yelled, alarmed. No response. I huddled in my apartment.
A few hours later, when the lights came back on, a body was found dead on the floor, bleeding to death.
We had planned everything except the power cut. And the death, of course.
Story writing involves selection of a topic or any phrase for the purpose of creating an imaginary plot with various fictional characters. It helps in developing creativity especially in students.
A story using the phrase "We had planned everything except the power cut" could be:
Elsa and her sister Rachael used to visit their parents every year during the summer holidays. During one such summer, Elsa decided to throw a surprise party for her sister Rachael towards the end of the vacation. She got together with her and Rachel’s friends and planned everything from the music to snacks to decorations as well.
When the day of the party came, there was a major power cut in the whole neighborhood. Since the party was planned for night, it would be a huge problem. They had planned everything except the power cut. Elsa asked her parents for help, but their power back-up wasn’t working as well.
Rachael was about to reach home soon. Elsa and her friends had to think of another plan quickly. One of the friends suggested they go to a nearby shop and ask the person for their generator, since he was also a childhood friend of theirs.
They ran to get the generator and just got back in time to do the final set-up for the party, just as Rachael pulled up in the driveway. Everyone yelled “surprise!” She was happy to see all her friends and family celebrating her graduation party with such enthusiasm.
In the middle of the party, Rachael pulled Elsa into a corner and asked her, “How did you pull this off in such a short time?” Elsa replied, “We had planned everything days before, except for the power cut.” And they started laughing.
