Read the following passage: Paul's Paintings

Once, in Switzerland, there lived a boy. His name was Paul Klee, and he lived in a world full of music and color. His father was a music teacher, and his mother enjoyed singing cheerful songs, so he was surrounded by music. But the real magic came from his grandmother, who liked to draw pictures. When she gave Paul colored pencils and taught him to draw, Paul's creativity flowed onto the page in beautiful color.

As Paul grew up, his parents encouraged him to learn music because they wanted him to be a musician like them. At seven, Paul learned to play the violin, and he enjoyed the music that flowed from his fingers, but his thoughts always returned to the colored pencils his grandmother had given him. He though so much about the colors flowing together that he even ended up drawing on his notebooks at school! His teachers didn't always appreciate his creativity, especially when he was supposed to be doing math.

As Paul got older, his love of art stayed with him. He went to school and learned to paint and draw. He was determined to learn the techniques so that he could share his love of art with his own students one day, just like his grandmother had with him.

One day when Paul was thinking about what to paint next, he remembered his grandmother and the drawings they used to create together. Soon his brush was swooping across the canvas, and his childhood drawings became works of art. His playful paintings became famous around the world. Today they hang in museums and art galleries where they inspire children everywhere to find their own style and create the kind of art that is meaningful to them.

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky

Read the excerpt from "a defence of poetry.” poetry thus makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world; it arrests the vanishing apparitions which haunt the interlunations of life, and veiling them, or in language or in form, sends them forth among mankind, bearing sweet news of kindred joy to those with whom their sisters abide—abide, because there is no portal of expression from the caverns of the spirit which they inhabit into the universe of things. poetry redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man. which details from the excerpt provide more information about shelley’s idea that poetry "makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world”? check all that apply. arrests the vanishing apparitions which haunt the interlunations of life sends them forth among mankind, bearing sweet news to those with whom their sisters abide no portal of expression from the caverns of the spirit redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man
