Select ALL the correct words in the passage.
Which three sentences in the story indicate that that the passage is an ex nihilo type of creation story?

Behold the first word and the first discourse. There was as yet no man, nor any animal, nor bird, nor fish, nor crawfish, nor any pit, nor ravine,
nor green herb, nor any tree; nothing was but the firmament. The face of the earth had not yet appeared-only the peaceful sea and all the
space of heaven. There was nothing yet joined together, nothing that clung to anything else; nothing that balanced itself, that made the least
rustling, that made a sound in the heaven. There was nothing that stood up; nothing but the quiet water, but the sea, calm and alone in its
boundaries: nothing existed; nothing but immobility and silence, in the darkness, in the night.
Alone also the Creator, the Former, the Dominator, the Feathered Serpent-those that engender, those that give being, they are upon the water,
like growing light. They are enveloped in green and blue; and therefore their name is Gucumatz. Lo, now how the heavens exist, how exists
also the Heart of Heaven; such is the name of God; it is thus that he is called. And they spake; they consulted together and meditated; they
mingled their words and their opinion. And the creation was verily after this wise: Earth, they said, and on the instant it was formed; like ; cloud
or fog was its beginning. Then the mountains rose over the water like great lobsters; in an instant the mountains and the plains were visible,
and the cypress and the pine appeared. Then was the Gucumatz filled with joy, crying out: Blessed be thy coming, O Heart of Heaven, Hurakan,
Thunderbolt. Our work and our labor has accomplished its end.

Helen grey by christina georgina rossetti because one loves you, helen grey, is that a reason you should pout, and like a march wind veer about, and frown, and say your shrewish say? don't strain the cord until it snaps, don't split the sound heart with your wedge, don't cut your fingers with the edge of your keen wit; you may, perhaps. because you're handsome, helen grey, is that a reason to be proud? ✔ your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud, your steps go mincing on their way; but so you miss that modest charm which is the surest charm of all: take heed, you yet may trip and fall, and no man care to stretch his arm. stoop from your cold height, helen grey, come down, and take a lowlier place; come down, to fill it now with grace; come down you must perforce some day: for years cannot be kept at bay, and fading years will make you old; then in their turn will men seem cold, when you yourself are nipped and grey. how does the line in bold suggest a key idea developed in the poem? a) it compares real qualities with superficial ones. b) it confirms that helen is attractive. c) it implies beauty is nothing to celebrate. d) it suggests pride should be based on other things.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
