Which two sentences suggest that John Adams is unlikely to grant Abigail Adams’s request to “remember the Ladies”?
Passage 2
adapted excerpt from Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 14 April 1776
As to Declarations of Independency, be patient. Read our Privateering Laws, and our Commercial Laws. What signifies a Word.
As to your extraordinary Code of Laws, I cannot but laugh. We have been told that our Struggle has loosened the bands of Government everywhere. That Children and Apprentices were disobedient—that schools and Colleges were grown turbulent—But your Letter was the first Intimation that another Tribe more numerous and powerful than all the rest were grown discontented. This is rather too coarse a Compliment but you are so saucy, I won't blot it out.
Depend on it, We know better than to repeal our Masculine systems. Although they are in full Force, you know they are little more than Theory. We dare not exert our Power in its full Latitude. We are obliged to go fair, and softly, and in Practice you know We are the subjects . . . I begin to think the Ministry as deep as they are wicked. After stirring up [others] at last they have stimulated thee to demand new Privileges and threaten to rebel.

excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address
I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

Which sentence best expresses the author's point of view that possessions can take over a home?
adapted from The Tyranny of Things
by Elisabeth Woodbridge Morris
Two fifteen-year-old girls stood eyeing one another on first acquaintance. Finally, one girl said, "Which do you like best, people or things?" The other little girl said, "Things." They were friends at once.
I suppose we all go through a phase when we like things best; and not only like them, but want to possess them under our hand. The passion for accumulation is upon us. We make "collections," we fill our rooms, our walls, our tables, our desks, with things, things, things.
Many people never pass out of this phase. They never see a flower without wanting to pick it and put it in a vase, they never enjoy a book without wanting to own it, nor a picture without wanting to hang it on their walls. They keep photographs of all their friends and photograph albums of all the places they visit. . . . Their houses are filled with an undigested mass of things, like the terminal moraine1 where a glacier dumps at length everything it has picked up during its progress through the lands.

Emma Goldman was a well-known anarchist, meaning someone who believed voluntary organizations should replace governments. In 1917, Goldman and fellow anarchist Alexander Berkman were put on trial for conspiring against the US government by publishing anarchist magazines. In the following speech, Goldman defends herself and Berkman.
The stage having been appropriately set for the three-act comedy, and the first act successfully played by carrying off the villains in a madly dashing automobile—which broke every traffic regulation and barely escaped crushing everyone in its way—the second act proved even more ludicrous. Fifty thousand dollars bail was demanded, and real estate refused when offered by a man whose property is valued at three hundred thousand dollars--and that after the District Attorney had . . . promised to accept the property for one of the defendants, Alexander Berkman, thus breaking every right guaranteed even to the most heinous criminal.
Finally, the third act, played by the Government in this court during the last week. The pity of it is that the prosecution knows so little of dramatic construction, otherwise it would have equipped itself with better dramatic material to sustain the continuity of the play. As it was, the third act fell flat, utterly, and presents the question, Why such a tempest in a teapot?
Gentlemen of the jury, my comrade and co-defendant having carefully and thoroughly gone into the evidence presented by the prosecution, and having demonstrated its entire failure to prove the charge of conspiracy or any overt acts to carry out that conspiracy1, I shall not impose upon your patience by going over the same ground, except to emphasize a few points. To charge people with having conspired to do something which they have been engaged in doing most of their lives—namely their campaign against war, militarism and conscription2 as contrary to the best interests of humanity—is an insult to human intelligence.
What is Goldman’s overall purpose in giving this speech?
A.
to express her belief that anarchism is the only way forward and the court is illegitimate
B.
to argue that the government’s case has been flawed from start to finish
C.
to entertain the jury in order to distract them from the facts of the case
D.
to inform the jury about how the police and prosecutor pursued her and Berkman

A very interesting and instructive educational experiment on these lines has lately been tried in Hackney, where Mr. Sargent got together some eighty boys and girls under the conditions of an ordinary elementary school. . . . . The results seem to have been purely delightful; the children developed an amazing capacity for drawing, perhaps because so soon as they were familiar with the outlines of the flower and foliage of a given plant, for example, they were encouraged to form designs with these elements. The really beautiful floral designs produced by these girls and boys, after quite a short art training, would surprise parents whose children have been taught drawing for years with no evident result. These children developed themselves a great deal on their school magazine also, for which they wrote tales and poems, and essays, not prescribed work, but self-chosen. The children's thought was stimulated, and they felt they had it in them to say much about a doll's ball, Peter, the school cat, or whatever other subject struck their fancy. "They felt their feet" as the nurses say of children when they begin to walk; and our non-success in education is a good deal due to the fact that we carry children through their school work and do not let them feel their feet.

The modern philosophy of "out with the old, in with the new" has been used and abused for years. Oftentimes, it has more to do with making a profit rather than a legitimate need for something new. Across the United States, beautiful, historic architecture is frequently destroyed to make way for malls, high-rise apartment buildings, grandiose homes, and other structures. Unfortunately, little is done to protect our history.
Over the past several years, it has become increasingly common for big-name developers to tear down Victorian, Craftsman, and Colonial buildings. This destruction is often performed with the thought that it is the property that holds the true value, not the structure that sits on it. Likewise, homeowners have begun to value their property's location over the house they have spent many years living in. Little regard is given to the painstaking details and craftsmanship that went into these buildings, nor the innate beauty of hand-carved woodwork and ornamentation. "Out with the old, in with the new" has resulted in people no longer appreciating the history and artistic integrity of our country's oldest buildings and failing to realize that once "the new" is brought in, "the old" is lost to us forever.
It is bad enough that developers and private citizens are blind to the beauty around them; what is worse is that local governments refuse to step in and prevent this destruction. Cities and towns need to stand up to large developers that flash money around in the name of progress. Rather than allowing developers to tear down old buildings simply to put up new ones, local governments could enact ordinances to preserve their area's architecture. If an old building is unusable or unsafe as it is, the structure could be restored instead of demolished; not only would this save one-of-a-kind architecture, it is also an extremely environmentally-conscience concept because less building material is used and wasted.
In addition, local governments could prevent homeowners from tearing down their homes if the buildings are of a historic nature. Town officials could easily draw up legislation to preserve all buildings erected before a certain date, which would effectively prevent anyone from destroying historic architecture or buying property with express intent of rebuilding on the land.

It is not a man’s duty to devote himself to the eradication of any wrong; he may still properly have other concerns to engage him. But it is his duty, at least, to wash his hands of it, and not to give it practically his support. I have heard some of my townsmen say, “I should like to have them order me out to help put down an insurrection of the slaves, or to march to Mexico,—see if I would go.” And yet these very men have each, directly by their allegiance, and indirectly, by their money, furnished a substitute. Thus, under the name of Order and Civil Government, we are all made to pay support our own meanness. After the first blush of sin, comes its indifference; and from immoral it becomes, as it were, unmoral, and not quite unnecessary to that life which we have made.

adapted excerpt from On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
by Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau wrote this influential essay in 1849 because he was disgusted with the US government’s refusal to end slavery and with its participation in the Mexican-American War.
The practical reason why a majority are permitted to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, but because they are physically the strongest. Can there not be a government in which the majorities do not decide right and wrong, but conscience?— in which majorities decide only those questions to which the rule of expediency is applicable1? Why has every man a conscience, then? It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation I have is to do at any time what I think right.
How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today? I answer that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave’s government also.
All men recognize the right to resist the government when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable. But almost all say that such is not the case now. But such was the case, they think, in the Revolution of 1775. If one were to tell me that this was a bad government because it taxed certain foreign commodities brought to its ports2, it is most probable that I should not make an ado about it, for I can do without them. But when a sixth of the population of a nation are slaves, and a whole country is unjustly overrun and conquered by a foreign army3, I think that it is not too soon for honest men to revolutionize. What makes this duty the more urgent is that fact, that the country so overrun is not our own, but ours is the invading army.
It is not a man’s duty to devote himself to the eradication of any wrong; he may still properly have other concerns to engage him. But it is his duty, at least, to wash his hands of it, and not to give it practically his support.

Exotic animals are meant to live in their natural habitats. If they are not in their natural homes, then they should be in controlled settings such as zoos. The average person is not equipped to care for them in a typical home. Experts estimate that approximately 20,000 exotic wild cats are living as pets in the United States. Sadly, that is almost more than the number of tigers that exist in their natural environment. In states such as Texas, people must have a license to own wild animals such as tigers, however, the state does not have regulations to guarantee the protection of those animals once they have been bought.
Caring for exotic pets is extremely costly and can become dangerous. Annual food costs for one tiger cub can cost up to $6,000. These cubs can even weigh up to 500 pounds in a just a few short months and become strong enough to overpower the average adult. These animals require plenty of space to roam and feel comfortable. Luckily, when pet owners are worried about not doing a good job raising these animals, there are pet sanctuaries that are willing to take the animals and care for them.
Monty is writing an argumentative text about not having exotic animals as pets. A classmate read an excerpt and suggested that Monty needs to strengthen his credibility.

Share a personal story about visiting a zoo.
Remove information about pet sanctuaries.
Include direct quotes from animal experts about the cost and care of exotic pets.
Use stronger transitions between ideas.
Include facts about laws related to owning exotic animals.
