Suppose you were to visit a perfectly symmetric, smallish, non-spinning black hole. What would happen? Right away, you would need a new nickname -- something like Stretch or the Spaghetti Kid. The pull from the black hole would force your body into a long, skinny, stringy shape. If you were going in feet first, your feet would stretch out the most. For a moment, they might look like droopy wet socks. —A Black Hole Is NOT a Hole, Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano Choose the question that's most relevant to the important ideas the passage discusses. Why wouldn't you be called Slim? What color would the socks be? Why would your feet stretch out the most? Why isn't the black hole spinning?

There, as the whirlpool drank the tide, a billow
tossed me, and I sprang for the great fig tree,
catching on like a bat under a bough.
Nowhere had I to stand, no way of climbing,
the root and bole being far below, and far
above my head the branches and their leaves,
massed, overshadowing Charybdis pool.
But I clung grimly, thinking my mast and keel
would come back to the surface when she spouted.
And ah! how long, with what desire, I waited!
till, at the twilight hour, when one who hears
and judges pleas in the marketplace all day
between contentious men, goes home to supper,
the long poles at last reared from the sea.

Superhero 101: A Family Secret

Trace knew he would have to try to explain to his grandmother why he had missed her birthday party. He was dreading the conversation and the lie that he would inevitably have to tell. He thought telling her the truth would only open a Pandora’s box. He rang the doorbell, and his grandmother answered right away, like she had been waiting for him. He had called and told her he would try to come by sometime that day, but he had not given her a precise time.

She greeted him warmly, and he followed her into the kitchen where she had her customary jar of fresh-baked cookies ready for his indulgence. His grandmother was endearingly predictable. She had a daily routine and rarely deviated from it. Trace thought that given her lifestyle and penchant for routine and order, there was no way she would ever understand his life as Beetleman. He hated that he had no choice but to lie to his grandmother, whom he loved so much.

They sat at the kitchen table. His grandmother poured him an ice-cold glass of milk and filled a plate with her delicious chocolate chip cookies. Before he had a chance to apologize, his grandmother spoke. “Trace, I’m glad you called and came by today. I know you’re upset about missing my birthday party, but before you say anything about it, there is something I want to show you,” she said.

She went to a drawer and retrieved what appeared to be a large bracelet cuff made of silver. She handed it to Trace. He looked at it carefully. His grandmother moved his hands and pointed to something inscribed on the inside of the bracelet. “Look at this. It's what I wanted you to see,” she said as Trace read the words “Family First.” His heart sank when he read those words and recounted all the times that he had to sacrifice time with his family for his secret life.

His grandmother noticed his dejected expression. “Trace, I didn’t show you this to make you feel bad about your choices. I know that they aren’t always yours to make. This cuff belonged to your grandfather. He had those words inscribed because they are what kept him going and allowed him to make those same tough choices.”

Trace stared at this grandmother. What was she saying? His grandfather was a superhero too?

She continued, “Your grandfather loved helping people, just like you do. That’s where you got your gift—from him. Many times he had to miss family parties and outings because of his calling. But I always knew he did it for us—family first.”

Trace was astounded. He’d had no idea that his grandfather was a superhero; now he realized that he no longer had to lie to his grandmother. His parents had died when he was very young, and his grandparents had raised him. He recalled his grandfather missing his 10th birthday party and how upset and angry he had been at his grandfather. He had cried himself to sleep that night, wrongly thinking that he was not important to his grandfather.

Trace looked at the bracelet carefully, realizing that to him, it was as precious as the Hope diamond. He glanced up at his grandmother.

“His love for his family was his kryptonite,” his grandmother continued. “The only time he was weak was when you or I were in danger. He couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to us after what happened to your parents.”
In “Superhero 101: A Family Secret,” Trace misses his grandmother's birthday party and visits her to apologize.

How does this incident provoke Trace's grandmother to make a decision?


She shows Trace the bracelet and reveals that his grandfather was a superhero.

She insists that Trace follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and adopt his motto.

She wonders if Trace wants to continue to be a superhero like his grandfather.

She reveals the truth about his parents' deaths.

The jovial cheer of the night before was nowhere to be seen the next morning. All down the line of tents, men sat and cleaned their weapons or stared off into the distance. Benjamin had neatly assembled everything that he'd need to carry to the battlefront with him and sat gazing at a small portrait of his parents. Would he ever see them again?
Suddenly, a horse galloped into camp. The rider barely reined in before leaping to the ground and running to the general's tent. Minutes later, shouts spread through the camp. "They've surrendered! They've given up! The war is over!" Benjamin looked around and saw faces break into smiles and tears.

Sonnet XII

by William Shakespeare

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.
