Chapter 1: All Aboard!

(1) Sally gripped her sister's hand as the train filled the small platform with clouds of steam and dust. The whistle was the loudest sound Sally had ever heard, and she wished she could put her hands over her ears. She looked down at her younger sister, Beth. The little girl was trying not to cry. Sally could see her lip quivering and the tears filling her eyes.

(2) "It'll be okay," she said, squeezing her hand. "It's going to be a wonderful adventure. Just think about how happy Father will be to see us!"

(3) "I don't remember what Father looks like," Beth whispered. "He's been gone a long time."

(4) "Come on," Sally said. "Let's find our seats."

(5) "All aboard!" shouted the conductor. "Non-stop from Omaha to Sacramento."

(6) Sally and Beth settled into the cushioned seats, their suitcases stashed under their chairs. Sally stared out the dusty window at the flat, sunbaked landscape. She wondered how different life would be in California. Their father had left them with their grandparents in Omaha while he traveled to California to seek his fortune in the gold rush. She took his last letter from her pocket and read it for the hundredth time.

(7) "My dearest daughters,

Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez.
Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.
If you did not march, your cédula would not be stamped, and without a stamped identification card, you could do nothing; in particular, you could not obtain your passport to leave the country under the pretext of wanting to study heart surgery. This was the second escape—this time with his whole family—that my father was planning.
The day came when my mother had to march. The parade went on for hours in the hot sun until my mother was sure she was going to faint. Her feet were swollen and hurting. The back of her white dress was damp with sweat. Finally when she thought she could not go one more step, the grandstand came into sight, a clutter of dress uniforms, a vague figure on the podium.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs?

A. Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.
B. Alvarez describes how her family reacted to Trujillo’s demands and how that affected their lives when they left the Dominican Republic.
C. Alvarez retells her mother’s humiliating experience of paying tribute to a dictator she did not support.
D. Alvarez describes how Trujillo’s mandatory taxes and tributes affected her mother in a negative way.

Sugar is different from honey. It offers a stronger sweet
flavor, and like steel or plastic, it had to be invented. In
the Age of Sugar, Europeans bought a product made
thousands of miles away that was less expensive than the
honey from down the road. That was possible only
because sugar set people in motion all across the world-
millions of them as slaves, in chains; a few in search of
their fortunes. A perfect taste made possible by the most
brutal labor: That is the dark story of sugar.

Read the passage from "Two Kinds.”

Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the Formica kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read in Ripley's Believe It or Not, or Good Housekeeping, Reader's Digest, and a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother got these magazines from people whose houses she cleaned. And since she cleaned many houses each week, we had a great assortment. She would look through them all, searching for stories about remarkable children.

The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states and even most of the European countries. A teacher was quoted as saying the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly.
