the second coming
by w. b. yeats

turning and turning in the widening gyre
the falcon cannot hear the falconer;
things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
5 the blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
the ceremony of innocence is drowned;
the best lack all conviction, while the worst
are full of passionate intensity.

surely some revelation is at hand;
10 surely the second coming is at hand.
the second coming! hardly are those words out
when a vast image out of spiritus mundi
troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
a shape with lion body and the head of a man,
15 a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
the darkness drops again; but now i know
that twenty centuries of stony sleep
20 were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
and what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
slouches towards bethlehem to be born?

which best describes the progress of the beast in stanza 2?

a.) a fearsome force
b.) a constant force
c.) a relentless force
d.) a rebellious force

Read the following passage: he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue— but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. the once occasional huskiness of his tone was heard no more; and a tremulous quaver, as if of extreme terror, habitually characterized his utterance. there were times, indeed, when i thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret, to divulge which he struggled for the necessary courage. which of the above ideas might be considered foreshadowing? he is wandering all over the chamber his skin tone is really pale his voice is quivering the narrator thinks he is laboring with an oppressive secret

Ineed . read the passage, and choose the two (2) inferences that are most firmly based on the given information. although lie detector tests are based on a sound principle, they are not alwaysaccurate. the test is based on the fact that people become emotionally “stirred up”when they lie. the lie detector can sense physical changes that accompany suchemotional responses. but an innocent person may react emotionally to a keyquestion.thus, he or she appears to be lying when actually telling the truth. and criminals who lie often may feel no guilt about anything. they can therefore tell huge lies without showing the slightest emotional ripple on the lie detector. without an emotional response, there are no physical responses to detect. 1. criminals never feel any guilt about their crimes. 2. lie detector tests are not foolproof. 3. anyone can easily fool the lie-detector machine. 4. an emotional response by an innocent person
