Read the following excerpt from an essay by Stephen Leacock. What is the main idea? A friend of mine who has ten thousand dollars a year told me the other day with a sigh that he found it quite impossible to keep up with the rich. On his income he couldn't do it. A family that I know who have twenty thousand a year have told me the same thing. They can't keep up with the rich. There is no use in trying. A man that I respect very much who has an income of fifty thousand dollars a year from his law practice has told me with the greatest frankness that he finds it absolutely impossible to keep up with the rich. He says it is better to face the brutal fact of being poor. He says he can only give me a plain meal, what he calls a home dinner—it takes three men and two women to serve it—and he begs me to put up with it. As far as I remember, I have never met Mr. Carnegie. But I know that if I did he would tell me that he found it quite impossible to keep up with Mr. Rockefeller. No doubt Mr. Rockefeller has the same feeling. On the other hand there are, and there must be, rich people somewhere. I run across traces of them all the time. The janitor in the building where I work has told me that he has a rich cousin in England who is in the South-Western Railway and gets ten pounds a week. He says the railway wouldn't know what to do without him. In the same way the lady who washes at my house has a rich uncle. He lives in Winnipeg and owns his own house, clear, and has two girls at the high school. 1.Money means nothing to the rich. 2.Most rich people are very modest. 3.Most rich people live abroad. 4.The rich are never satisfied with their wealth. 5.The writer hasn’t met any really rich people.

Read this passage from Justice Fortas's majority opinion on Tinker v. Des Moines: If a regulation were adopted by school officials forbidding discussion of the Vietnam conflict, or the expression by any student of opposition to it anywhere on school property except as part of a prescribed classroom exercise, it would be obvious that the regulation would violate the constitutional rights of students. Which is the best summary of the passage? A. "If a regulation were adopted by school officials forbidding discussion of the Vietnam conflict," except as a class activity, it would be clear that the rule "would violate the constitutional rights of students."

In Tinker v. Des Moines Justice Fortas argues that it would be obvious that students' rights are violated "if a regulation were adopted by school officials forbidding discussion of the Vietnam conflict . . . except as part of a prescribed classroom exercise." D. In his majority opinion on Tinker v. Des Moines, Justice Fortas argues that if students were not allowed to talk about Vietnam at school, unless as a class activity, it would be an obvious violation of their rights.

6. Analyze the quotation below in the context of European exploration in the Americas. As you read the quote, think about what it says about Columbus's motivations to explore. Was he interested in gaining knowledge, wealth, or both? How did his motivations influence how he treated the peoples already living in the Americas? I did not try to examine them in detail, because it could not be done in 50 years. For my desire is to see and discover as much as I can before returning to your Highnesses, our Lord willing, in April. It is true that in the event of finding places where there is gold or spices in quantity I should stop until I had collected as much as I could. I, therefore, proceed in the hope of coming across such places. —Christopher Columbus, journal entry, 14921 Now write a three-paragraph essay explaining the following: What motivated Columbus to explore the Americas? How did his actions in the Americas reflect his motivations? Was Columbus typical of explorers during that time or did other explorers have different or additional motives?
