Which of the following best describes how the author introduces Wilma Rudolph?

A. as a nervous and unprepared athlete
B. as a prepared athlete with an unusual life
C. as a hopeful new athlete beginning her training
D. As an unlikely athlete hoping to be in the Olympics one day​

Answer:

B. As a prepared athlete with an unusual life.

Explanation:

The literary piece "Fastest Woman in the World " by Pat Parker tells the story of how Wilma Rudolph came to be one of the most celebrated and famous sportswomen. The article details how Wilma encountered and overcame numerous obstacles to become an Olympic champion.

At the beginning of the article, the author reveals how Wilma was "poised for the race" just before the signal was given. But despite this "poised" appearance, things were not smooth sailing for the sportswoman. The author revealed "Wilma wasn’t an ordinary athlete", suggestive of something behind the façade of a poised woman ready to take on the race.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.  

Read the passage from chapter 7 of Animal Farm.

If she [Clover] could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.

Which historical circumstance most likely influenced the writing of this passage?

life under the rule of Lenin’s communist Russia, in which everyone shared and prospered
the farm during World War II, when many people died from battle as well as starvation
agriculture and farming under the reign of the Romanovs, when there was food for the rich
tyranny during Stalin’s dictatorship, in which he distorted the tenets of communism

MR. COLLINS: Thus, much for my general intention in favour of matrimony; it remains to be told why my views were directed towards Longbourn instead of my own neighbourhood, where I can assure you there are many amiable young women. But the fact is, that being, as I am, to inherit this estate after the death of your honoured father (who, however, may live many years longer), I could not satisfy myself without resolving to choose a wife from among his daughters, that the loss to them might be as little as possible, when the melancholy event takes place—which, however, as I have already said, may not be for several years. This has been my motive, my fair cousin, and I flatter myself it will not sink me in your esteem. And now nothing remains for me but to assure you in the most animated language of the violence of my affection. To fortune I am perfectly indifferent and shall make no demand of that nature on your father, since I am well aware that it could not be complied with; and that one thousand pounds in the four per cents, which will not be yours till after your mother’s decease, is all that you may ever be entitled to. On that head, therefore, I shall be uniformly silent; and you may assure yourself that no ungenerous reproach shall ever pass my lips when we are married.”

A) Mr. Collins is not motivated by money.
B) Mr. Collins has noted that there are several available young girls in his own neighborhood.
C) Mr. Collins will bequeath Longbourn to the Bennet daughter who agrees to marry him.
D) The Longbourn matter is resolved by marriage to a Bennet daughter.
