Read the sample student claim. Although many applaud the increased opportunities for research and communication afforded by the Internet, it has actually brought more harm to society than good. Which best addresses a potential counterclaim? There is a higher risk that information obtained on the Internet is not as accurate as print sources. The Internet provides access to information that would otherwise be unobtainable to the general public. Many people are addicted to the Internet and no longer spend valuable time exploring outside interests. Development of the Internet occurred from the late 1950s to the 1970s by a group of researchers and scientists.

The correct answer is The Internet provides access to information that would otherwise be unobtainable to the general public.

Explanation:

The main claim or position proposes the internet has had a negative impact on society; this is expressed in "it has actually brought more harm to society than good". In this context, it is expected the counterclaim (the statement that refuses the claim) shows Internet has great positive effects, and therefore the main claim is false. This only occurs in the option " The Internet provides access to information that would otherwise be unobtainable to the general public" because this shows an important positive effect of the internet, which is the access to information.

Read the passage from “To Build a Fire.” What idea is being conveyed?

The dog was disappointed and yearned back toward the fire. This man did not know cold. Possibly all the generations of his ancestry had been ignorant of cold, of real cold, of cold one hundred and seven degrees below freezing-point. But the dog knew; all its ancestry knew, and it had inherited the knowledge. And it knew that it was not good to walk abroad in such fearful cold. It was the time to lie snug in a hole in the snow and wait for a curtain of cloud to be drawn across the face of outer space whence this cold came.


A. Our learning is more important than the instincts we are born with.


B. The dog is more fit for survival in this harsh environment than the man is.


C. The man’s ancestors were from the arctic and so were the dog’s.

Annotate the poem "Huswifery"

Huswifery
by Edward Taylor

Make me, O Lord, Thy spinning wheel complete,
Thy holy word my distaff make for me,
Make mine affections Thy swfit flyers neat,
And make my soul Thy holy spool to be.
My conversation make to be Thy reel,
And reel the yarn thereon spun of Thy wheel.
Make me Thy loom then, knit therein this twin;
And make Thy holy spirit, Lord, wind quills;
Then weave the web Thyself. The yarn is fine.
Thine ordinances make my fulling mills.
Then dye the same in heavenly colors choice,
All pinked with varnished flowers of paradise.
Then clothe therewith mine understanding, will,
Affections, judgment, conscience, memory,
My words and actions, that their shine may fill
My ways with glory and Thee glorify.
Then mine apparel shall display before Ye
That I am clothed in holy robes for glory.

Read this excerpt from the introduction to Wheels of Change by Sue Macy.


When I was a kid, I took great pleasure in jumping on my bike and riding to the corner candy store about half a mile away. Although I had no knowledge of the part the bicycle had played as a vehicle of change for turn-of-the-20th-century women, I was acutely aware that it allowed this 1960s girl a unique measure of independence. On my bike, I could break free of the bonds that held me in my neighborhood to go buy Necco Wafers and candy necklaces and Atomic FireBalls. If I felt particularly adventurous, I could even ride a bit farther for a fresh ice-cream cone at Applegate Farm.


The author’s purpose for including this in the introduction is


A. to describe the research she conducted for Wheels of Change.

B. to explain the historical significance of bicycles.

C. to establish her credentials as an expert on bicycles.

D.to emphasize her personal appreciation for bicycles.

What writers struggle to express through numerous newspaper columns, the cartoon manages in a pointed one-liner. Little wonder then, that the first thing most of us like to see when we pick up a newspaper is the cartoon. Simple though it may seem, making a cartoon is an art that requires a combination of hard work, training and a good sense of humour. Cartoonists say that the cartoons that make us laugh the most are in fact the cartoons that are hardest to make. Even celebrated cartoonists like R.K.Laxman admit that making a cartoon is not a piece of cake. Laxman says he has to wait for over six hours, which includes spending a lot of time scanning newspapers and television channels before any idea strikes him.

So how does one become a cartoonist? Which of us has the talent to make it? How can we master the rib-tickling strokes and the witty one-liners? How can we make people smile or laugh? There are few colleges or schools for cartoonists. Most cartoonists come from art colleges, while some learn the craft on their own. Most established cartoonists are of the view that no institute can teach you to make a cartoon. "You can pick up the craft, you may learn to sketch and draw in institutes, but no one can teach anyone how to make a good cartoon," says Uday Shanker, a cartoonist with Navbharat Times. While basics, like drawing and sketching can be learnt in an art college, and are important skills, these alone, do not make a good cartoonist. Because it's a question of one's creativity and sense of humour; two qualities one simply may not have. The advice established cartoonists give is that just because you can sketch, don't take it for granted that you will become a cartoonist.
