Foti is reading an informational article about tsunamis. It includes this paragraph. Unlike normal ocean waves, a tsunami consists of a series of waves. One can be lulled into thinking a tsunami event is over after the first wave passes. Yet there may be several more waves off shore, and it can be up to two hours before the next tsunami wave arrives. Therefore, if you are caught in a tsunami, you need to wait several hours for all waves to pass.

Which of the following is the BEST summary of this paragraph?

A)
A tsunami is not like normal ocean waves. It’s a series of waves. You need to wait several hours for all of them to pass.
B)
Because a tsunami is not one wave, but a series of several waves that can be as far as two hours apart, you must wait several hours after the last wave in order to be sure the tsunami is over.
C)
A tsunami consists of not one but many waves that come in one after the other. Not knowing whether the tsunami is over unless more than two hours have passed since the last wave can be very stressful.
D)
When a tsunami strikes, get to high ground and stay there while you wait it out. Why do you need to wait? A tsunami is a series of waves. One hits, but more are coming. Do not go home until the last one has passed

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
