Read this selection from "What I Hope to Leave Behind." A man said to me recently, "I would like before I die to live in a community where no individual has an income that could not provide his family with the ordinary comforts and pleasures of life, and where no individual has an income so large that he did not have to think about his expenditures, and where the spread between is not so great but that the essentials of life may lie within the possession of all concerned. There could be no give and take in many ways for pleasure, but there need be no acceptance of charity." What is the main idea of this selection?

She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.

There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.

She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.

There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.

She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.

She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.

There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? She did not know; it was too subtle and elusive to name. But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.

Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will—as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been.

When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under the breath: “Free, free, free!” The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.

She did not stop to ask if it were or were not a monstrous joy that held her. A clear and exalted perception enabled her to dismiss the suggestion as trivial.

The phrase “monstrous joy” in the first sentence of paragraph 10 is an example of
A.
onomatopoeia
B.
euphony
C.
personification
D.
oxymoron
E.
allegory

From this passage, the reader can conclude that
A.
the main character will return, unchanged, to her sister

C.
the rain will wash away all trace of the main character’s thoughts
D.
spending time alone has disastrous results
E.
young women are flighty and unappreciative

Which of the following is used to develop paragraph 5?
A.
metonymy
B.
allusion
C.
parallelism
D.
verbal irony
E.
simile

A memorable day of my life ​

PLEASE HELP TIMED TEST!!!
How does Ruth's view differ from Mr. Thorpe's view
about where the Thorpe family will stay?
Read the excerpt from "New Land, New Life"
"Nonsense," said Ruth sternly. "The nearest town is a
week away by horseback with all due respect, Mr.
Thorpe, you're in homesteading country now. We take
care of our own. There isn't a homesteader within one
hundred miles of here who has survived these parts
without jumping at the chance for help when it's
offered"
O Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should live in a nearby
home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to leave.
O Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should stay at her
home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to leave
O Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should camp out near
her home, but Mr. Thorpe wants them to live inside
O Ruth thinks the Thorpe family should return to the
city, but Mr. Thorpe thinks they should build a home
Mr. Thorpe nodded uncomfortably. Ruth could see that
he was a man who was used to having control over a
situation. This was a possibility in the bigger cities, but
out here on the prairie, there was no such thing
nearby
