ar In the famous balcony scene. Act 1 Scene 5 2. Romeo makes a very famous soliloquy: O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night S Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night. How does the soliloquy work? Choose the BEST answer.

PART A: Which of the following best describes a central idea of President Reagan's speech?

Question 1 options:

West Berlin is facing economic collapse as it continues to be trapped and limited by the Berlin Wall; this barrier must therefore be destroyed.


In contrast to the communist states in the East, the West has thrived because it values economic and personal freedom.


Due to the tense relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States, it is up to the people of Germany to overthrow their totalitarian oppressors.


The people of Berlin loved American presidents, particularly after the United States provided relief in the form of the Marshall Plan.



PART B: Which of the following quotes best supports the answer to Part A?

Question 2 options:

"Thousands of miles away, the people of the United States reached out to help. And in 1947 Secretary of State — as you've been told — George Marshall announced the creation of what would become known as the Marshall Plan." (Paragraph 11)


"I understand the fear of war and the pain of division that afflict this continent, and I pledge to you my country's efforts to help overcome these burdens. To be sure, we in the West must resist Soviet expansion." (Paragraph 23)


"We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty — the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace." (Paragraph 18)


"'This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.'" (Paragraph 42)



Which of the following best explains the meaning of the phrase "'Es gibt nur ein Berlin. [There is only one Berlin.]'" as used in paragraph 4?

President Reagan is stressing the importance of preserving Berlin history, such as the maintenance of old structures and the destruction of new eyesores.


President Reagan is complimenting the culture and beauty of Berlin, a unique capital city.



What is the rhetorical impact of President Reagan addressing Gorbachev in his speech in paragraphs 20-22?

Question 4 options:

It weakens his rhetoric because it exposes President Reagan's familiarity with Gorbachev, whom he has previously condemned as a totalitarian leader.


It lessens the aggressiveness of his speech as it shows President Reagan pleading with Gorbachev, thus also weakening the persuasiveness of his speech.


It strengthens his persuasiveness because President Reagan demands that Gorbachev take action instead of just mentioning him in a less direct way.


It strengthens the tone of his speech, but at the cost of potentially provoking Soviet and East German retaliation — thus weakening his rhetoric with his recklessness.


Read the passage.

excerpt from "Remarks on East-West Relations at Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin" by Ronald Regan

Beginning 10 years ago, the Soviets challenged the Western alliance with a grave new threat, hundreds of new and more deadly SS-20 nuclear missiles capable of striking every capital in Europe. The Western alliance responded by committing itself to a counter-deployment (unless the Soviets agreed to negotiate a better solution)—namely, the elimination of such weapons on both sides. For many months, the Soviets refused to bargain in earnestness. As the alliance, in turn, prepared to go forward with its counter-deployment, there were difficult days, days of protests like those during my 1982 visit to this city; and the Soviets later walked away from the table.

Question 5 options:

Reagan's evidence is irrelevant because it does not directly speak to the Berlin Wall.


Reagan's evidence is irrelevant and insufficient because it is not directly related to his argument.


Reagan presents relevant and sufficient evidence from real-world examples.


Reagan's evidence is relevant but is insufficient to prove his claims as it relies on his own personal beliefs.

What evidence supports the claim that it's foolish for a state that creates too much solar electricity to make even more?

Many people believe that using more solar electricity will lower the state's overall energy bill.

Excess solar electricity can overload power lines and cause blackouts, which hurt businesses.

People in favor of using more solar power claim that the sun can meet all of the Earth's energy needs.
