Read the paragraph. then answer the question that follows. perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but was out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. this is similar to what happens in a community. one person has to give up a right for the good of the group. sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. a good example is a public protest. people have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. however, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. a city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people. how is the example of a public protest similar to the family dinner vote? both require government laws to maintain order and safety. both show conflict between the rights of individuals and groups. both explain why the rights of groups always win over individual wants. both demonstrate the downside of depending on voting to make decisions.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.
