Read the story. The most ferocious storm of the winter had the wind howling and whistling all night long. We awoke to find that the storm had dumped
over 12 inches of snow on the ground, and the wind had whipped it into huge drifts.
After clearing the driveway, we moved on to more serious endeavors. We had discussed the feasibility of constructing a snowslide at the
back end of our yard. There was a clear consensus—it could be done. The snowslide would go as far back in the yard as possible. We wanted a
slide that would propel us all the way down the driveway on our sleds.
We packed snow solidly with steps notched into the back and the incline in front. When it was high enough, we decided to hose it down
with water. We thought the ice would make us go faster! When we finished, we stood back and viewed our work with a sense of pride
Now, to try it out It took quite a few attempts to give the snowslide a true test. First came the challenge of climbing the steps while
carrying your sled up with you-we had unwittingly iced them, too. One by one we all gave it a try, each finding a different challenge in actually
Sliding to the end. There were lots of laughs, squeals of joy and excitement, and even a few tears as we attempted to conquer the snowslide.
Finally, we arrived at a disturbing conclusion: If you survived the climb up the slide with your sled and made it down without pummeling
over the side of the slide, you only got up enough speed to make it to the maple tree about half way down the driveway!
We decided that an icy mound of snow right at the maple tree would help us build up enough speed to make it all the way to the road. We
set to work to complete this task. We spent the rest of the day constructing this snow structure and perfecting our techniques of propelling
ourselves down the driveway successfully. We were wet cold, battered, bruised, exhausted, and utterly happy. Late in the day we all went home.
Which words best describe the author's feelings about the day?
O 1. happy and exhilarated
2. battered and exhausted
3. angry and frustrated
4. easy and successful

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman.
