To discuss the military tactics used during the English Civil War and their impact on modern warfare.
To provide a brief overview of the English Civil War, highlighting the key parties involved and its outcome
To examine the role of religion in the English Civil War and its influence on contemporary religious conflicts
To analyze the political ramifications of the English Civil War and its effect on the British monarchy
The English Civil War (1642-1651) was a turning point in British history, marked by a conflict between the Parliamentarians and the Royalists. At the heart of the war was a struggle for supremacy between King Charles I and the English Parliament, fueled by religious differences and financial disputes. The war ended in 1651 with the decisive Parliamentarian victory at the Battle of Worcester, leading to the eventual execution of Charles I and the establishment of the English Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell.

By pointing out that the Duke’s portrayal may be more accurate than Miller suggests, as it aligns with his-
torical accounts of real-life figures
By agreeing with Miller’s assertion and suggesting that Browning intentionally created an unreliable narra-
tor to critique aristocratic power
Text 1: Literary critic Hannah Miller examines Robert Browning’s dramatic monologue ’My Last Duchess.’ Miller argues that the poem’s protagonist, the Duke, is an unreliable narrator who seeks to manipulate the reader’s perception of his dead wife. She contends that the Duke’s description of his wife’s flirtatious behavior is likely exaggerated to justify his cruel actions.
Text 2: In contrast, historian Alexander Thompson explores the historical context of ’My Last Duchess,’ focusing on the real-life figures that may have inspired Browning’s poem. Thompson suggests that Browning’s portrayal of the Duke and his wife could be more accurate than previously thought, as it aligns with historical accounts of the figures in question.
Based on the texts, how would Alexander Thompson (Text 2) most likely respond to Hannah Miller’s argument about the Duke’s unreliability (Text 1)?

Microplastics are microscopic particles of plastic that tend to accumulate toxins and are in some cases toxic themselves. Unfortunately, microplastics tend to end up being eaten by various organisms. The primary reason for this problem is that in recent years, approximately 380 million tons of plastic are produced annually. Plastic is not biodegradable, which means that once it enters the environment it can take several hundred years to degrade. In fact, if all the plastic that was produced between 1950 and 1960 had been disposed of in the ocean, ________

“Out of [the slave songs] rose for me morning, noon, and night, bursts of wonderful melody, full of the
voices of my brothers and sisters, full of the voices of the past.”
“Little of beauty has America given the world save the rude grandeur God himself stamped on her bosom;
the human spirit in this new world has expressed itself in vigor and ingenuity rather than in beauty.”
“Some [slave songs], like “Near the lake where drooped the willow,” passed into current airs and their
source was forgotten; others were caricatured on the ‘minstrel’ stage and their memory died away.”
“[Slave songs] are the music of an unhappy people, of the children of disappointment; they tell of death
and suffering and unvoiced longing toward a truer world, of misty wanderings and hidden ways.”
The Souls of Black Folk is a 1903 literary work by American author W. E. B. Du Bois. One cultural aspect on which Du Bois focuses in this work is the prevalence of “sorrow songs” in African American culture, i.e., musical compositions that evoke the suffering of slaves. In this work, Du Bois strongly suggests that American creativity is focused on energetic inventiveness: _________________

Nisga’a poet Jordan Abel addresses the experiences of Indigenous people as European settlers and their descendants took over North America. Abel’s first book of poetry, The Place of Scraps (2014), uses Totem Poles, a 1929 book by anthropologist Marius Barbeau, as source material. Abel claims that his use of Barbeau’s text shows how anthropological texts can be used to portray Indigenous people differently based on the author.
Which finding, if true, would most directly support Abel’s claim?

Abel intersperses Barbeau’s text with images of Indigenous people and personal anecdotes written in the
third person.
Abel explains that Barbeau presented two chiefs feuding over constructing the largest pole
as unreasonable, yet other anthropologists claim that such arguments between chiefs of Indigenous
tribes were important political exchanges.
The Place of Scraps won the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize and was a finalist for the Gerald Lampert Award.
Before Abel wrote The Place of Scraps, other Indigenous writers had used texts from anthropologists in
their works.
Adult adoptees are entitled to an inheritance from their adoptive families, strengthening the ties between
them, which further encourages the adult adoptee to work to enhance the new family’s prosperity.
While most adult adoptees typically report improved financial status after adoption, many of those
same adoptees also experience higher-than-normal rates of depression and anxiety.
Elsewhere in East Asia, such as in China and Korea, families have a traditional obligation to adopt
blood relatives who lack more closely-related living kin, but adoptions in Japan are almost exclusively
between those with no blood relations.
Families with ancestors who were adult adoptees do not distinguish between those ancestors who
were members of the family by birth and those who were adopted into the family.
In Japan, adults may be legally adopted into a family. The practice may have started as early as the 13th century CE, but widespread adult adoption dates from the Tokugawa shogunate, a military government which began around 1600 CE. During this time, members of the ruling class would adopt competent adult males, who would then ensure that the family’s political and business interests would be sustained. While adult adoption remains a way for individuals to improve their economic and social status, the practice has its detractors as well, with some researchers arguing that it can lead to issues with the adoptee developing a firm sense of identity in his or her new environment.

Their mycorrhizal network is not fully understood.
They function as if they were a single organism.
They are also likely to compete among themselves for some resources.
Text 1
By investigating interactions between tree species, scientists have found that trees leverage similarities and differences in their microbial "makeup" to recognize other trees of their own species, and that they preferentially share nutrients with them through their mycorrhizal network- the systems of roots and fungi that connect them. For example, Douglas Fir trees growing in the same plot have been shown to share more carbon among them than with trees of other species.
Text 2 The notion that trees send out resources to strengthen a community composed of members of their species is unlikely because groups that cooperate would need to win out over groups made up of competing individuals. According to plant ecologist Kathryn Flinn, while trees can sometimes facilitate each other's growth, a forest does not function like a single organism: it includes a vast array of species with a constantly shifting variety of interactions, both cooperative and competitive.
Based on the texts, what would Kathryn Flinn most likely say about the "Douglas Fir trees" in Text 1?

By emphasizing the connection between creativity and negative emotions
By acknowledging the benefits of positivity in moderation but cautioning against it in excess
By questioning the motives of the participants in the happiness industry
By challenging the connection between positive feelings and personal fulfillment
Text 1
In recent years, there has been an explosion of scientific research revealing precisely how positive feelings are beneficial. We know that they motivate people to pursue important goals and overcome obstacles, offer protective benefits against the effects of stress, improve our social connectedness, and even ward off illness. The science of happiness has spawned a small industry of motivational speakers and research enterprises. Clearly, happiness is popular.
Text 2 Happiness, it turns out, has a cost when experienced too intensely. For instance, we often are told that happiness can open up our minds to foster more creative thinking and help us tackle problems or puzzles. This is the case when we experience moderate levels of happiness. But according to Mark Alan Davis's 2008 analysis of the relationship between mood and creativity, when people experience intense and perhaps overwhelming amounts of happiness, they no longer experience the same creativity boost. What's more, psychologist Barbara Fredrickson has found that too much positive emotion- and too little negative emotion - makes people inflexible in the face of new challenges.
Based on the texts, what would Mark Alan Davis most likely respond to what "we know" in Text 1?

Researchers obtained a soundscape at Port Noarlunga Reef to help in the restoration of oyster reefs in
Australia.
Researchers now know that the soundscape of a healthy marine ecosystem can attract baby oysters to at-
tach to submerged limestone boulders.
After they measured the number of oysters attracted to boulders in the soundscape area compared to
no soundscape, researchers determined that the soundscape attracted more baby oysters.
Researchers wanted to know whether a soundscape of a healthy marine ecosystem could encourage baby
oysters to attach to submerged limestone boulders.
The research team recorded sounds at the healthy Port Noarlunga Reef to play near the submerged boulders.
Boulders in the area with the soundscape attracted around 17,000 more oysters per square meter compared to boulders without the soundscape.
Soundscapes can indicate a healthy place for baby oysters to grow and can be a cost-
effective way to restore oyster reefs

Given the higher crash rate of male drivers as compared to female drivers, it is understandable that car
manufacturers may prioritize male crash test dummies.
Since drivers over 70 years of age are over twice as likely to get in vehicle crashes as those in their 60s, in-
creased regulations about the maximum driver age should be implemented.
Teenage drivers are far more likely to get in car accidents than those in other age groups, so the age to
earn a driver’s license should be increased.
Female drivers represent the majority of miles driven in a given year, so it is critical that there be a higher
priority on their safety.
A researcher who specializes in analyzing the aftermath of car wrecks determines that car crash dummies are almost always designed to represent the male skeletal and muscular anatomy. The researcher thinks that car manufacturers as well as consumers should demand that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration develop dummies that represent not just men and women, but a variety of sizes of men and women as well as a variety of sizes of children. The researcher argues that the government should prioritize diverse demographic representation among crash test dummies to gather the most helpful information for consumers.
Which statement would best utilize the information in the table to provide an argument against the researcher’s position?
