Read the excerpt from the story Winter Driving:

(8) With the windshield clear, Jesper got back into the car, which had warmed up since his initial entrance. He backed out of the parking spot and started driving down the street. He turned on the radio and turned it up loud to hear the latest report on the road conditions and the weather for his drive home.

(9) "This massive storm will be with us for the next few days," the radio announcer said. "The cold front has created dangerous driving conditions throughout the area. If you're out on the road, be careful and drive smart. If you can help it, don't go out in this storm at all," she warned.

(10) Jesper had to get home, but he wasn't too worried because he had always been a cautious driver. He told himself that he would go slowly and take his time. He didn't have to be home at a specific time, which helped. The first half of the drive went off without a hitch, no trouble at all. Although he did see one car on the side of the road, it didn't seem like they were in distress, so he kept driving along. They probably were just nervous and decided to pull over. However, Jesper wasn't nervous. He had driven in treacherous conditions before, and he knew how to handle his vehicle.

What would change if the author didn't include the information from paragraph 10? (2 points)
Jesper wouldn't figure out how to drive in such dangerous conditions.
Jesper wouldn't know what to do when the road gets treacherous.
The reader would not know that Jesper is a cautious and sensible driver.
The reader would not know that Jesper likes to drive in dangerous conditions.

Select the correct answer. lyric poems often deal with intense emotions. which statement best describes the shift in emotion in "lift every voice and sing" as it moves from the first into the second stanza? lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty; let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, facing the rising sun of our new day begun let us march on till victory is won. stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our fathers sighed? we have come over a way that with tears has been watered, we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. a. the joyful call of the first stanza gives way to a bitter recounting of history in the second. b. the first stanza's anger is replaced by the second stanza's resignation. c. the poem moves from a sense of wonder in the first stanza toward a sense of perplexity in the second. d. there is no change between the first stanza and the second. the emotions are the same in both.
