Maggie’s Journal: Thursday, October 15th 1I can’t believe this. 2Today at the afternoon assembly, Principal Weinstein announced that they’re switching Barry Junior High to a year-round school schedule starting next year! This edict is going to ruin everything. I am so angry, it’s like I can’t even see straight. 3I don’t want to go to school every day of the year! What about summer vacation? Summer vacation is a tradition. It’s been around practically since school was invented. The principal, school board, and state authorities are taking away our freedom. They want to work us to death and not let us have any fun, ever. Don’t they get it? We’re kids! Summertime is for going to the beach and hanging out with friends, not for doing homework assignments and taking tests. Well, I’m not going to do algebra while I’m putting on suntan lotion, that’s for sure. They’d rather have us work all the time, obviously. We’ll be going to school twice as much as we do now. 4Here’s the other reason I’m furious: I was going to get a summer job next year. Tavin’s sister told me that she could get me a position at Extreme Smoothie, and I could make at least $6 an hour. After three months of work, do you know how much money that would be? A lot. If Principal Weinstein switches us to a year-round schedule, I can’t ever have a summer job. 5Mom’s freaking out because I haven’t cleaned my room, so I have to go. The only thing I have left to say is this: I am NOT going to go to school 365 days a year. No way. I’ll move to another school district if I have to, and I don’t care if I have to take a bus an hour each way to get to class. Which quote from “Maggie’s Journal” is contradicted by the information in “So Long, Summer Vacation”?
A “I’ll move to another school district if I have to.”
B “We’ll be going to school twice as much as we do now.”
C “Summer vacation is a tradition. It’s been around practically since school was invented.”
D “Tavin’s sister told me that she could get me a position at Extreme Smoothie, and I could make at least $6 an hour.”

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
