Scene 1
1 (A sunny afternoon at Glenside Middle School. A science classroom. STUDENTS are talking and waiting for class to begin. MR. TORRES goes to the front of the room to speak.)

2 MR. TORRES: If I can have your attention, please, I have some thrilling news to share. A local philanthropist donated an assortment of trees, bushes, and other plants for our school to construct a garden. It will be a magnificent development for both our school and the local environment.

3 ELI: That’s wonderful news, Mr. Torres. Where will the garden be located? We don’t have a very large campus.

4 BROOKE: I hope they don’t plan to take over the baseball field, because the playoff competition begins in two weeks.

5 MR. TORRES: Not to worry. The administration selected a portion of land alongside the school. Maintenance workers will begin planting the garden early next week. Some of the plants are extremely fragile, and it is of utmost importance to plant them soon.

Scene 2
6 (In MR. TORRES’s afternoon science class, one week later. STUDENTS are talking.)

7 ELI: The thunderstorm last night was horrible; a group of angry, dark clouds surrounded my house for hours.

8 JENNA: The torrent of rain made such a commotion that I thought my roof might cave in!

9 BROOKE: Have any of you seen the baseball field? Water is completely covering the outfield, and the playoff competition begins next week. It will take the maintenance crew a long time to clean up that mess.

10 JENNA: I wonder what happened to the plants that the philanthropist donated to our school. Mr. Torres indicated that the plants couldn’t last long in those containers.

11 (MR. TORRES enters the room looking dejected and walks toward the front of the classroom.)

12 MR. TORRES: Well, class, it appears that we've met with some obstacles in regards to the new garden. The storm last night caused a colossal amount of damage to the campus. The maintenance crew will be bombarded with work for at least a week, which means they will be unable to tackle the garden project. Perhaps the project was too ambitious.

13 BROOKE: Mr. Torres, I have an idea. We just completed a unit about green plants and photosynthesis, so perhaps our class could volunteer to create the garden for some hands-on learning.

14 MARTY: Brooke, that’s a fantastic idea. I would gladly donate a day for an outdoor excursion. (With a snicker) It sounds better than algebra!

15 MR. TORRES: Well— (hesitating) I suppose some real-world experience with plants and sunlight would be very informational—and fun! We’ll have to take a vote to ensure that everyone supports the idea. All those in favor . . .

16 (The STUDENTS all raise their hands and begin to cheer.)

17 STUDENTS: Yeah!

Mr. Torres interacts positively with his students. Which statement describes the BEST evidence to support this?
A) He bought some trees for his students to plant.
B) He talks to them about sports and local weather.
C) He did not want them to miss class to plant trees.
D) He listens to their ideas and asks for their opinions.

Pl read these paragraphs from the excerpt. every great play teaches many lessons and touches nearly all social problems. but the great play does this by indirection. every beautiful thought is a teacher; every noble line speaks to the brain and heart. beauty, proportion, melody suggest moral beauty, proportion in conduct and melody in life. in a great play the relations of the various characters, their objects, the means adopted for their accomplishment, must suggest, and in a certain sense solve or throw light on many social problems, so that the drama teaches lessons, discusses social problems and gives intellectual pleasure. the stage should not be dogmatic; neither should its object be directly to enforce a moral. the great thing for the drama to do, and the great thing it has done, and is doing, is to cultivate the imagination. this is of the utmost importance. the civilization of man depends upon the development, not only of the intellect, but of the imagination. most crimes of violence are committed by people who are destitute of imagination. people without imagination make most of the cruel and infamous creeds. they were the persecutors and destroyers of their fellow-men. by cultivating the imagination, the stage becomes one of the greatest teachers. it produces the climate in which the better feelings grow; it is the home of the ideal. all beautiful things tend to the civilization of man. the great statues plead for proportion in life, the great symphonies suggest the melody of conduct, and the great plays cultivate the heart and brain. which statement describes how ingersoll uses a literary technique in his response? a-by using symbols, ingersoll explains the role of artistic expression, which engages readers. b- by using a metaphor, ingersoll explains how artistic thoughts address social issues, which clarifies his idea. c- by using allusion, ingersoll emphasizes the continued growth of artistic expression, which is relatable to readers. d- by using alliteration, ingersoll emphasizes the role drama plays in society, which evokes strong emotion.
