“To You” is an 1856 poem by Walt Whitman. In the poem, Whitman suggests that readers, whom he addresses directly,have not fully understood themselves, writing, ______
Which quotation from “To You” most effectively illustrates the claim?
A.
“You have not known what you are, you have slumber’d upon yourself / all your life, / Your eyelids have been thesame as closed most of the time.”
B.
“These immense meadows, these interminable rivers, you are immense / and interminable as they.”
C.
“I should have made my way straight to you long ago, / I should have blabb’d nothing but you, I should have chantednothing / but you.”
D.
“I will leave all and come and make the hymns of you, / None has understood you, but I understand you.”
Choice A is the best answer because it presents the quotation that most directly illustrates the claim that Whitman’s poem suggests that its readers haven’t fully understood themselves. This quotation makes that point directly by saying to readers, “You have not known what you are.” The quotation goes on to reinforce this point using a metaphor of sleep, saying that readers have “slumber’d” and that their “eyelids have been the same as closed most of the time.”

One aspect of in-person shopping that online shopping can’t replicate is the opportunity to touch a product before buying it. Does this difference matter? In an experiment, researchers asked one group of participants to touch a mug and a toy, while another group was prohibited from touching the two items. The participants were then asked how much money they’d pay for the items. People who got to touch the items were willing to pay much more money for them than were people who weren’t allowed to touch the items. This finding suggests that ______
Which choice most logically completes the text?
A. people who mainly shop online probably spend more money every month than people who mainly shop in person do.
B. in-person shopping may make products seem more valuable than they seem if only viewed online.
C. retailers with in-person and online stores should charge the same price for a given product in both places.
D. online retailers may be able to raise the prices they charge for products that are only available online.
Choice B is the best answer. The text tells us that “people who got to touch the items were willing to pay much more money for them than people who weren’t allowed to touch” them. This suggests that being able to interact with a product in person may make it seem more valuable to a shopper.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories about detective Sherlock Holmes were published between 1887 and 1927. They have inspired countless successful adaptations, including comic strips, movies, and a television series Sherlock Hound, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, who is celebrated for his animated movies. Until 2014, these stories were copyrighted. The right to adapt was only available to those who could afford the copyright fee and gain approval from the strict copyright holders of Doyle’s estate. Some journalists predict that the number of Sherlock Holmes adaptations is likely to increase since the end of copyright means that ______
Which choice most logically completes the text?

B. people will become more interested in detective stories than they were in the 1800s.
C. producing adaptations will become easier and less expensive.
D. the former copyright holders of Doyle’s estate will return fees they collected.
Choice C is the best answer. The text tells us that because of the copyright, adapting Sherlock Holmes stories used to be expensive and difficult. This suggests that after the copyright ends, it will be less expensive and less difficult to adapt these stories.

During the World War II era, some Mexican American women adopted a striking new look called pachuca style. They wore altered men’s jackets or zoot suits (wide-legged, long-coated suits) and dramatic makeup, and they combed their hair into high, rounded shapes. Some people criticized pachuca style, saying it was dangerous and women should dress traditionally. But historians see things differently. They see pachuca style as a form of rebellion against the era’s rigid social expectations for women. They say that it showed a desire for self-expression and freedom on the part of women who adopted the style.
According to the text, how do historians view pachuca style?
A. They think that pachuca style was such a popular trend that it continues to influence fashion in the United States to the present day.
B. They think that pachuca style was a way for some Mexican American women to express themselves and resist strict social expectations.
C. They think that pachuca style was celebrated because it enabled some Mexican American women to show their support for the United States during World War II.
D. They think that pachuca style was similar to other fashion trends that different groups of women adopted in the same period.
Choice B is the best answer because it presents a statement about how historians view pachuca style that is supported by the text. The text first describes the distinctive pachuca style of dress adopted by some Mexican American women during World War II, saying that some criticized it and asserted that women should dress traditionally.
