Lucas is writing an essay about bird-watching. He has come across the following excerpt in “What Is That Bird?” by the US Fish and Wildlife Service:
Studying the behavior of a bird is also often helpful in identifying it. Knowing characteristic bird behavior can be an important aspect of bird conservation and management, since erratic behavior can signal a stressed or unhealthy bird. Because birds move around a lot, they can be vulnerable to a variety of different threats.

Which line in the excerpt from Eugene O'Neill's Beyond the Horizon reflects the idea of pursuing one's dreams?
ROBERT: You'll have to, to understand. Well, in those days, when Ma was fixing meals, she used to get me out of the way by pushing my chair to the west window and telling me to look out and be quiet. That wasn't hard. I guess I was always quiet.
RUTH: (compassionately) Yes, you always were—and you suffering so much, too!
ROBERT: (musingly) So I used to stare out over the fields to the hills, out there—(He points to the horizon) and somehow after a time I’d forget any pain I was in, and start dreaming. I knew the sea was over beyond those hills,—the folks had told me—and I used to wonder what the sea was like, and try to form a picture of it in my mind. (With a smile) There was all the mystery in the world to me then about that—far-off sea—and there still is! It called to me then just as it does now. (After a slight pause) And other times my eyes would follow this road, winding off into the distance, toward the hills, as if it, too, was searching for the sea. And I’d promise myself that when I grew up and was strong, I’d follow that road, and it and I would find the sea together. (With a smile) You see, my making this trip is only keeping that promise of long ago.
"And I’d promise myself that when I grew up and was strong, I’d follow that road, and it and I would find the sea together."
Which sentence in this excerpt from “Behold the Brooklyn Bridge” best shows the character’s young and naïve perspective?
"They said it couldn't be done, but they did it," Papa kept repeating, almost like he half believed it himself. We had been hearing about the building of the Great East River Bridge for years, with its deals gone bad, workers with illnesses, and defiance of something called physics.
We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother had polished twice.
Soon we were out the door as a family, going to walk on a bridge taller than the entire city. There were so many people, but we were determined. Our modest Brooklyn family was going to walk high up in the air on the miracle of a bridge to Manhattan.
The sunshine warmed my shoulders as we joined the masses of people walking toward the river. I stretched onto my tiptoes to see the swarm of boats gathering underneath the bridge up ahead. I gasped quietly when I saw the enormous expansion before me. “There it is!” I exclaimed.
“Yes, there’s the Great East River Bridge,” Papa said looking down at me.

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Which statement develops the theme that abuse of power leads to destruction?
Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
Write them together, yours is as fair a name.
Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well.
Now in the names of all the gods at once,
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed
That he is grown so great?
"Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs"
Now in the names of all the gods at once,
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed
That he is grown so great?
These lines develop the theme that abuse of power leads to destruction. They highlight the immense power and dominance of Caesar, implying that he has become too great and that his power has gone beyond what is justified.
