(from sport and travel from the northland of canada by david t. hanbury, 1904, chapter vi "life in an eskimo camp on baker lake")

this passage saves a considerable distance, about twenty miles i should judge. the charts do not mark the point as a peninsula.

a phenomenon of these parts is the mirage, which is much more marked on some days than on others. it is observed on the larger lakes and along the coast particularly. land which is only a short distance away appears suspended in mid-air, and great distortion takes place. captain santos informed me that owing to this peculiarity it is impossible to get good sights at sea.

the voyage up chesterfield inlet was slow and far from pleasant; the cold was severe, for although the thermometer never dropped even to zero, it was our first touch of winder cold, and was keenly felt. we had to sit still for twelve hours at a stretch, everything on board coated with ice and a cutting wind in our teeth. the whale-boat leaked so badly that every night it had to be unloaded and in the morning loaded afresh. this necessitated wading. we all had long sealskin boots luckily, but these would freeze stiff directly we left the water.

which of the following most belongs in a set of notes about the passage?

mirages are known as optical illusions.

the ship's voyage was freezing.

seals were often killed for their sealskin.

wading in cold water can be harmful.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

.

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.
