An Ode to Naps The rain is tapping footsteps on the roof It sounds a lovely dance inside my head This peaceful aura only serves as proof  That I should dodge my work to lie in bed The pillows pull me in with their behest A trap that I do not want to escape The blankets form a most enticing nest They wrap me in a shroud that won't undrape I'm tempted further by my furry friends They've taken o'er the mattress in a pile Oh, how I want to nestle in with them But first, I know that I must work awhile I promise, bed, I will be back for you I surely nap before the day is through Which of the following pairs of words from the text is relevant Information to pass onto an illustrator who is creating art related to the poem for publication?

A. A ) Aura, roof

B. B ) Dance, tempted

C. C ) Shroud, nest

D. D ) Footsteps, enticing

Answer Explanation:

These words provide relevant imagery related to the cozy and comforting atmosphere of a bed, which is central to the theme of the poem. "Shroud" suggests a covering or enveloping layer, while "nest" implies a cozy, comfortable resting place. Therefore, providing these words to the illustrator can help them create artwork that accurately reflects the mood and setting described in the poem.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

Q #1: Mourning geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris) are truly a unique species. This gecko is small, as it only grows up to 10 cm or 4 inches. With a range of Hawai, the South Pacific islands, and Central and South America these geckos have one of the largest ranges among reptiles. What really sets this species apart is how they reproduce. Mourning geckos are all female and reproduce through parthenogenesis, where the mother essentially clones herself to create her offspring. However, their genes have the ability to recombine to allow genetic variation and mutation. Like many other geckos, mourning geckos lay two eggs at a time several times a year. The eggs incubate for 65 to 103 days. Which of the following is a conclusion the reader might draw from the Information in the passage?

A. Their small size means mourning geckos are easy to keep as pets.

B. Genetic variation and mutations may give mourning geckos a better chance for survival.

C. Mourning geckos are an endangered species.

D. Because their offspring are clones, all mourning geckos are identical

Answer Explanation

The passage mentions that mourning geckos reproduce through parthenogenesis, but their genes have the ability to recombine, allowing for genetic variation and mutation. This genetic variation could potentially enhance their chances for survival in changing environments.
Q #2: Alice was not scared. Not at all. Maybe a little bit. But she was determined to confront the ghost in her house. Alice lived in a farmhouse built in 1921. All of the floors and doors were original; the doors even had skeleton key locks. But by far the most terrifying part of the house was the basement. She kept that door locked and ignored the thumps, crashes, and cries that came from below the house. What made Alice determined to confront the ghost today was the especially loud crashes the previous night. She'd gotten no sleep, convinced the ghost was going to break through the door and do something horrible. What, she wasn't sure, but the ghost would do something. Alice hadn't seen the ghost, but what else could be making loud noises in an old house? The one time she had been down in the basement was after buying the house unseen. Once she saw the shelves with old glass jars, she was a little put off. But what made her keep the door shut and locked was the abrupt end of the concrete floor halfway across the room. Because nothing good ever happened in a basement with a dirt floor. Alice had seen enough horror movies to know that Alice stared at the basement door, trying to gather enough confidence to open it and march down the stairs like she owned the place. Because she did-or she would, once she finished paying her mortgage in 30 years Alice took a deep breath and yanked the door open. She marched down the stairs, only to stop abruptly at the bottom. Because she was face to face with not a ghost at all. It was a calico cat, one who looked utterly unimpressed by her brave journey into the basement Which of the following time frames is a gap in the sequence conveyed in the passage?

A. From when she was looking at the basement door and then entering it

B. From when she bought the house unseen until she saw the jars in the basement

C. From the night when she heard the loudest noises and then couldn't sleep

D. From when she opened the basement door until she saw the calico cat looking unimpressed

Answer Explanation

The passage mentions that Alice heard especially loud crashes the previous night, but it doesn't provide details or events between that night and the moment she decides to confront the ghost. This creates a gap in the sequence during that time frame.
