  (06.03 MC)Read the poem “War Dreams” by Walt Whitman. Then answer the question that follows.WAR DREAMS1.In clouds descending, in midnight sleep, of many a face in battle,Of the look at first of the mortally wounded, of that indescribable look,Of the dead on their backs, with arms extended wide—   I dream, I dream, I dream.2.Of scenes of nature, the fields and the mountains, Of the skies so beauteous after the storm, and at night the moon so unearthly bright, Shining sweetly, shining down, where we dig the trenches, and gather the heaps— I dream, I dream, I dream.3.Long have they passed, long lapsed—faces, and trenches, and fields:Long through the carnage I moved with a callous composure, or away from thefallenOnward I sped at the time. But now of their faces and forms, at night,   I dream, I dream, I dream. Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

  (04.03 HC)Read the excerpt from Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Military-Industrial Complex speech and answer the question that follows.Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose. Because this need is so sharp and apparent I confess that I lay down my official responsibilities in this field with a definite sense of disappointment. As one who has witnessed the horror and the lingering sadness of war—as one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years—I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight.   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

  (04.03 HC)Read the excerpt from Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Military-Industrial Complex speech and answer the question that follows.But each proposal must be weighed in the light of a broader consideration: the need to maintain balance in and among national programs—balance between the private and the public economy, balance between cost and hoped for advantage—balance between the clearly necessary and the comfortably desirable; balance between our essential requirements as a nation and the duties imposed by the nation upon the individual; balance between actions of the moment and the national welfare of the future.   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

  (05.01 MC)Read the excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and answer the question that follows.Meanwhile the fog and darkness thickened so, that people ran about with flaring links, proffering their services to go before horses in carriages, and conduct them on their way. The ancient tower of a church, whose gruff old bell was always peeping slily down at Scrooge out of a Gothic window in the wall, became invisible, and struck the hours and quarters in the clouds, with tremulous vibrations afterwards as if its teeth were chattering in its frozen head up there. The cold became intense. In the main street, at the corner of the court, some labourers were repairing the gas-pipes, and had lighted a great fire in a brazier, round which a party of ragged men and boys were gathered: warming their hands and winking their eyes before the blaze in rapture.   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

  (04.03 HC)Read the excerpt from Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Military-Industrial Complex speech and answer the question that follows.Throughout America’s adventure in free government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among people and among nations. To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people. Any failure traceable to arrogance, or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt both at home and abroad.   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.

  (04.01 HC)Read the following excerpt from Mary Wollstonecraft’s Letters Written During A Short Residence In Sweden, Norway, and Denmark and answer the question that follows.The inns are tolerable; but not liking the rye bread, I found it necessary to furnish myself with some wheaten before I set out. The beds, too, were particularly disagreeable to me. It seemed to me that I was sinking into a grave when I entered them; for, immersed in down placed in a sort of box, I expected to be suffocated before morning. The sleeping between two down beds—they do so even in summer—must be very unwholesome during any season; and I cannot conceive how the people can bear it, especially as the summers are very warm. But warmth they seem not to feel; and, I should think, were afraid of the air, by always keeping their windows shut. In the winter, I am persuaded, I could not exist in rooms thus closed up, with stoves heated in their manner, for they only put wood into them twice a day; and, when the stove is thoroughly heated, they shut the flue, not admitting any air to renew its elasticity, even when the rooms are crowded with company. These stoves are made of earthenware, and often in a form that ornaments an apartment, which is never the case with the heavy iron ones I have seen elsewhere. Stoves may be economical, but I like a fire, a wood one, in preference; and I am convinced that the current of air which it attracts renders this the best mode of warming rooms.   Do not use generative AI, search engines, photo-solving applications, or outside assistance while completing this question.
