uestion or problem, and its last six lines (the sestet) give a response or solution. The problem in this sonnet's octet is that humanity has lost its respect for and connection with nature. In the sestet, how does Wordsworth propose to address this problem? The World Is Too Much with Us The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!1 This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not.—Great God! I'd rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea2, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus3 rising from the sea; Or hear old Triton4 blow his wreathed horn. 1 favor 2 meadow 3 Greek sea -god who could change his appearance at will 4 Greek sea -god with the head and upper body of a man and the tail of a fish A. He wishes for Proteus and Triton to destroy the current world so that a new one can be built. B. He wishes that he had been born a pagan so that he would have learned a different way of seeing nature. C. He wishes to be a painter so he could paint Greek gods to ease his sadness. D.

Answer:

Item 11

Read the speech.

“Ich bin ein Berliner”

by John F. Kennedy

Schöneberger Rathaus, West Berlin, July 1963

Two thousand years ago, two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was "civis Romanus sum." Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner." (I appreciate my interpreter translating my German.)

There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world.

Let them come to Berlin.

There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future.

Let them come to Berlin.

And there are some who say, in Europe and elsewhere, we can work with the Communists.

Let them come to Berlin.

And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress.

Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin.

Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect. But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in—to prevent them from leaving us….While the wall is the most obvious and vivid demonstration of the failures of the Communist system—for all the world to see—we take no satisfaction in it; for it is, as your Mayor has said, an offense not only against history but an offense against humanity, separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, and dividing a people who wish to be joined together.

What is true of this city is true of Germany: real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men, and that is to make a free choice. In 18 years of peace and good faith, this generation of Germans has earned the right to be free, including the right to unite their families and their nation in lasting peace, with good will to all people….

Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free. When all are free, then we can look forward to that day when this city will be joined as one and this country and this great Continent of Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe. When that day finally comes, as it will, the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades.

All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin.

And, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner."

Question 1

Part A

What argument does Kennedy make in his “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech?

The oppression that exists under communism is a threat to everyone.

Only those who do not understand communism are forced to live under it.

Communism has many weaknesses that are also present in democracy.

Communism arose in Germany due to the failures of democracy.

Question 2

Part B

Which answer choice presents the most logical reasoning in support of the argument identified in Part A?

"There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future.

Let them come to Berlin."

"...real, lasting peace in Europe can never be assured as long as one German out of four is denied the elementary right of free men..."

"...the people of West Berlin can take sober satisfaction in the fact that they were in the front lines for almost two decades."

"Freedom has many difficulties and democracy is not perfect. But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in..."

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Question:

Which step would best be supported by adding a visual?

A) Using a sharp knife, cut each piece of bread diagonally into two equal pieces.

B) Gather two pieces of bread, peanut butter, and your choice of jelly.

C) Place the sandwich on a plate. D) Take a bite and enjoy!

Explanation:

From the way the question is stated, one can tell the answer depends on a person's opinion on which options would best be supported with visual.

Visuals are images that add impact and emphasis to your messages, thereby ensuring that the viewers understand better and remember what they see for a longer period of time.

The option that would best be supported : Using a sharp knife, cut each piece of bread diagonally into two equal pieces.

This is because it shows the viewer or reader a clear description or demonstration on how the food is being prepared and ensures they remember that process.
