Story : A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain
4. Read this sentence from the selection.
“Whenever she heard a large word she said it over to herself many times, and so was able to keep it until there was a dogmatic gathering in the neighborhood.”
In this sentence the word dogmatic is used as —
• an insightful simile
• a descriptive metaphor
• a humorous play on words
• an illuminating allusion
5. In the last paragraph the narrator says his mother would “fetch out a long word.” The connotations of the word fetch remind the reader that the narrator’s mother —

• is a dog
• knows lots of big words
• likes to show off
8. What is ironic about the author’s mother showing off with her knowledge of the word unintellectual?
• Her child knew she didn’t understand the word correctly.
• The strangers all already knew the meaning of the word.
• As any intellectual would know, the word should be “nonintellectual.”
• She did not know any synonyms for the word.
9. Which type of person is most like the author’s mother?
• A high-performing student with an excellent memory for words

Answer:
C 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a parabolic function
Notice how we go negative and then positive
y = ax^2 +bx+c
Let x = 0
-5 = a(0) + b(0) +c
c = -5
y = ax^2 + bx -5
Let x = 3
4 = a(3)^2 +b(3) -5
Let x=-3
4 = a(3)^2 -b(3) -5
Add the two equations
4 = a(3)^2 +b(3) -5
4 = a(3)^2 -b(3) -5
----------------------------
8 = 2a (3)^2 - 10
18 = 2 a(9)
18 = 18a
a =1
Solving for b
4 = 1(3)^2 -b(3) -5
4 = 9 -3b -5
4 = 4 -3b
0 = -3b
0 =b
The equation is
y = (x)^2 -5
Letting y = -1
-1 =x^2 -5
Adding 5 to each side
4 = x^2
Taking the square root of each side
±2 = x
x= ±2
Given the choices
