Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

What is one logical reason, according to the passage, for the knocker-uppers to knock on the windows instead of the doors of the customers?

Technological advancements are all around us, but we rarely stop to appreciate them, and particularly those advancements which have been around long enough so we take them for granted. For example, the camera: before cameras were developed, people who wanted to put up a family photo had to pose for oil paintings. Or the internet: before there was internet available, people who wanted to find information had to go through books, usually several books, to find what they were looking for. Or the telephone: before people had telephones, they had to wait for days, weeks, and even months for a letter to arrive in the mail. Or the remote control: when people first bought televisions for their homes there was no remote, and when they wanted to turn the TV on or off or change the channel, they had to walk up to it and click one of its buttons.
Another technological advancement people take for granted is the alarm clock. Have you ever stopped to think how people got up for work on time before the alarm clock was invented?
In the past, alarm clocks were not available, and even when they became available, they were not always reliable and not everyone could afford them. Some people, such as people who worked shifts, still had to get to work on time. So, they used the service of a knocker-upper, which was a job people could apply for until the 1970's in the UK.
A knocker-upper walked around the street carrying a long pole and knocked on the customers' windows to wake them up. Some knocker-uppers used soft hammers, rattles, and even pea-shooters.
In the beginning, knocker-uppers used to ring the doorbell or knock loudly on the door, and later they started using the long sticks to knock on windows from the outside, knocking loudly enough to wake up the people inside the house, but softly enough not to wake the neighbors.
And who woke up the knocker-upper? They were usually people who were night owls anyway and slept during the day.
Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
They thought it was an easier way to wake people up.
B.
They decided knocking on doors was too old-fashioned.
C.
They wanted to wake up only the customers.
D.
They thought it made the job seem more desirable.

STAR 7-8 Reading Practice Quiz - Analyzing Literary Text
Read the poem
Genius
by Mark Twain (adapted and shortened as needed) and answer the question that follows.

Which of the following phrases is an example of irony?

Genius, like gold and precious stones,
is chiefly prized because of its rarity.
Geniuses are people who dash off weird, wild,
incomprehensible poems with astonishing facility,
and get booming drunk and sleep in the gutter.
Genius elevates its possessor to ineffable spheres
far above the vulgar world and fills his soul
with regal contempt for the gross and sordid things of earth.
It is probably on account of this
that people who have genius
do not pay their board, as a general thing. …
If he is too proud to accept assistance,
and spurns it with a lordly air
at the very same time
that he knows he can’t make a living to save his life,
he is most certainly a genius. …
If he throws away every opportunity in life
and crushes the affection and the patience of his friends
and then protests in sickly rhymes of his hard lot,
and finally persists,
in spite of the sound advice of persons who have got sense
but not any genius,
persists in going up some infamous back alley
dying in rags and dirt,
he is beyond all question a genius.
Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
"he throws away every opportunity in life"
B.
"persons who have got sense but not any genius"
C.
"he is too proud to accept assistance"

Read the text and answer the question that follows.

What is the author's viewpoint?

My friend Sophie came over to my house to play video games. Sophie usually won these games, and this time was no exception. When we finished the game, Sophie received a text message. The sound was familiar. "What song is that?" I asked.
"'You're Welcome', from Moana," Sophie replied. "It's a new Disney movie…"
"I watched it too!" I interrupted. "I loved that movie! I loved how the water looked so real."
"I loved the songs!" said Sophie.
"But what I really loved," I continued, "was Moana's character. She's the daughter of the village chief, and she will be the chief after him. She's so independent and strong. She does what she thinks is right, fights the bad guys, and saves her people. And above all, I loved how it's clear to everyone that she's going to be the chief. Usually in films you see that girls can only rule if they get married, but in Moana, no one questions the fact that she can rule on her own."
"You're right," said Sophie. "And in most films, the girl is saved by the boy, but Moana saves the day herself."
"It's very refreshing to see a heroine like Moana," I agreed.
Select the answer
1 correct answer
A.
A strong hero makes a movie.
B.
Animated movies with water that looks real are good.
C.
Moana is one of the best films Disney has ever made.
D.
It is a good idea to have more movies with strong heroines.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

How does the author persuade the readers that Gertrude Ederle's swim across the English Channel was a significant milestone for women in sports?

In the early 20th century, women athletes faced significant barriers in their pursuit of recognition and opportunities in sports. However, one extraordinary woman emerged as a symbol of defiance and empowerment, challenging the prevailing gender norms of her time. Gertrude Ederle, an American swimmer, accomplished a remarkable feat that captured the world's attention.

In 1926, Ederle became the first woman to swim across the English Channel*, a treacherous stretch of water separating England and France. This incredible achievement shattered existing notions of what women were capable of in the realm of sports. Ederle's determination and physical prowess demonstrated that women possessed the strength and endurance to conquer extraordinary challenges.

Ederle's swim across the English Channel not only showcased her individual triumph but also served as an inspiration for generations of women athletes. Her extraordinary feat paved the way for greater opportunities and recognition for women in sports. By defying societal expectations and achieving unparalleled success, Ederle challenged the entrenched biases that limited women's participation in athletic endeavors.

* The English Channel, is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean that separates Southern England from northern France.
