World War I, the war that was originally expected to be “over by Christmas,” dragged on for four years with a grim brutality brought on by the dawn of trench warfare and advanced weapons, including chemical weapons. The horrors of that conflict altered the world for decades – and writers reflected that shifted outlook in their work. As Virginia Woolf would later write, “Then suddenly, like a chasm in a smooth road, the war came.”

Early works were romantic sonnets of war and death.

Among the first to document the “chasm” of the war were soldiers themselves. At first, idealism persisted as leaders glorified young soldiers marching off for the good of the country.

English poet Rupert Brooke, after enlisting in Britain’s Royal Navy, wrote a series of patriotic sonnets, including “The Soldier,” which read:

If I should die, think only this of me:

That there’s some corner of a foreign field

That is for ever England.

Brooke, after being deployed in the Allied invasion of Gallipoli, would die of blood poisoning in 1915.

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.

Ket [755]

Answer:

This passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson implies that they only tolerated each other because of their family connection. The correct answer is the first one.

Explanation:

According to this excerpt Mr. Utterson was used to base his relationships "in a similar catholicity of good-nature" and his friends were those "of his own blood or those whom he had known the longest". That was the reason for him to be friends with his "distant kinsman". They didn't seem to have much in common, but still they spent time together, and shared long walks. Those who used to see them said how dull they seemed together and it was difficult to know how or what they found attractive in each other. The reason is that they were family, they'd known each other for a long time and that was enough reason to be "friends".

Based on the context of each excerpt from N. Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountain, choose the word that most closely matche

Maurinko [17]

Fragile - tenuous: Whatever they were in the mountains, they could be no more. However tenuous their well-being, however much they had suffered and would suffer again, they had found a way out of the wilderness.

Tenuous means fragile or delicate. After the people found their way out of the wilderness, they were most likely fragile from a lack of proper care and nutrition.

Lobby - beg and barter: In order to consummate the ancient sacrifice—to impale the head of a buffalo bull upon the medicine tree—a delegation of old men journeyed into Texas, there to beg and barter for an animal from the Goodnight herd.

The verb lobby means to persuade. In this passage the old men are trying to persuade someone for an animal.

Pensive - brooding: My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years, but she must have known from birth the affliction of defeat, the dark brooding of old warriors.

Pensive means to be deep in thought. Brooding also means to be deep in thought but usually over something that has a negative outcome. The person brooding usually wishes to change what has happened.

Antagonist - Enmities: Some of them painted their faces and carried the scars of old and cherished enmities.

Enmities is another word for something that is hated, just like an enemy. An antagonist goes against a person or thing and is often hated or strongly disliked so this would be the best choice.
