Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 2, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and the background information on the allusion it contains.

Excerpt:

[DECIUS.] It was a vision fair and fortunate.
Your statue spouting blood in many pipes,
In which so many smiling Romans bathed,
Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck
Reviving blood, and that great men shall press
For tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance.
This by Calpurnia's dream is signified.

Background information:

In medieval times, it was customary to dip handkerchiefs into the blood of martyrs and other great people. Doing so turned the handkerchiefs into relics for worship or inspiration.

Why does Decius suggest that "smiling Romans” dipping in the spouts of blood is a good thing?

to flatter Caesar and make sure he will go to the Capitol
to imply that Calpurnia wishes to harm Caesar
to warn Caesar of the plot against him
to explain that Calpurnia is ill and going to die

Answer:

A. to flatter Caesar and make sure he will go to the Capitol

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

Explanation:

Decius is one of the conspirators who plans to kill Caesar. In order to do so, Caesar must be at the Capitol, where the rest of the conspirators will be. Caesar says he will not go to the Capitol, because of Calpurnia's dream that signifies a bad omen. Her dream was that she saw Caesar's statue run with blood like a fountain, while many smiling Romans bathed their hands in the blood. But Decius flatters Caesar to go to the Capitol anyway by making the dream seem positive. The background information says it was customary to dip handkerchiefs into the blood of great people. Decius uses this to flatter Caesar to go to the Capitol.

Select the correct text in the passage.
Sharon has paraphrased a story called “How the Leopard Got His Spots” by Rudyard Kipling. Her teacher has asked her to correct spelling errors in the passage. Which two sentences in this passage contain spelling errors?
At first leopards, zebras, and giraffes all lived on the Highveld plateau of South Africa.
It was always difficult for prey animals like the zebra and giraffe to spot the leopard when he came to hunt them because the leopard blended into the sandy-yellow Highveld grass. Finally, the zebra, girafes, and other animals got fed up with being hunted and decided to run away from the leopard to the green forest.


The forest was full of tall trees that created shadows of various shapes.
Living in this new combination of sunlight and shadows, the giraffe and zebra developed blotches and stripes on their skin. After many days, the leopard that still lived in the Highveld got tired of looking for his prey.
So he also decided to travel to the forest with his hunting friend, an Ethiopian man. When the leopard got there, he discovered that his yellow skin made him stand out in the dark forrest, causing all his prey to run away before he could attack.
So, with the help of his Ethiopian friend, the leopard put black spots on his skin so that he could easily blend into the shadows of the forest.

Read the body paragraph from a student's rhetorical
analysis essay.

Which
sentence should be deleted from this body
paragraph?


wexler uses juxtaposition to create support for a new
way of teaching civics. She criticizes "action civics,"
which she thinks can "entrench (students) in their
preexisting perspective." Instead, Wexler suggests
journalism as a way to teach students to see different
perspectives. Wexler proposes that civics teachers
encourage their students to attend city council and
school board meetings to report on local political
matters. This allows students to "[perform) a public
service-and gain an understanding of how
government works." She does note that our deeply
flawed approach to writing instruction has left many
teenagers unable to express themselves well in
writing." By juxtaposing flawed teaching methods and
new ways of teaching civics, Wexler effectively
supports the claim that reform in civics education is
needed.
