When I came to the stile, I stopped a minute, looked round and listened, with an idea that a horse's hoofs might ring on the causeway again, and that a rider in a cloak, and a . . . Newfoundland dog, might be again apparent: I saw only the hedge and a pollard willow before me, rising up still and straight to meet the moonbeams; I heard only the faintest waft of wind roaming fitful among the trees round Thornfield, a mile distant; and when I glanced down in the direction of the murmur, my eye, traversing the hall-front, caught a light kindling in a window: it reminded me that I was late, and I hurried on.
I did not like re-entering Thornfield. To pass its threshold was to return to stagnation; to cross the silent hall, to ascend the darksome staircase, to seek my own lonely little room, and then to meet tranquil Mrs. Fairfax, and spend the long winter evening with her, and her only, was to quell wholly the faint excitement wakened by my walk,—to slip again over my faculties the viewless fetters of an uniform and too still existence; of an existence whose very privileges of security and ease I was becoming incapable of appreciating. What good it would have done me at that time to have been tossed in the storms of an uncertain struggling life, and to have been taught by rough and bitter experience to long for the calm amidst which I now repined! Yes, just as much good as it would do a man tired of sitting still in a "too easy chair" to take a long walk: and just as natural was the wish to stir, under my circ*mstances, as it would be under his.

Question
Which sentence best describes how Jane feels about returning to Thornfield?

Answer options with 4 options
1.

4.

The correct answer would have to be D

Summer, an excerpt
by Amy Lowell

Some men there are who find in nature all
Their inspiration, hers the sympathy
Which spurs them on to any great endeavor,
To them the fields and woods are closest friends,
And they hold dear communion with the hills;
The voice of waters soothes them with its fall,
And the great winds bring healing in their sound.
To them a city is a prison house
Where pent up human forces labour and strive,
Where beauty dwells not, driven forth by man;
But where in winter they must live until
Summer gives back the spaces of the hills.
To me it is not so. I love the earth
And all the gifts of her so lavish hand:
Sunshine and flowers, rivers and rushing winds,
Thick branches swaying in a winter storm,
And moonlight playing in a boat's wide wake;
But more than these, and much, ah, how much more,
I love the very human heart of man.
Above me spreads the hot, blue mid-day sky,
Far down the hillside lies the sleeping lake
Lazily reflecting back the sun,
And scarcely ruffled by the little breeze
Which wanders idly through the nodding ferns.
The blue crest of the distant mountain, tops
The green crest of the hill on which I sit;
And it is summer, glorious, deep-toned summer,
The very crown of nature's changing year
When all her surging life is at its full.
To me alone it is a time of pause,
A void and silent space between two worlds,
When inspiration lags, and feeling sleeps,
Gathering strength for efforts yet to come.

The speaker of this poem is most likely (5 points)

outside looking at the world

b
staying inside to keep warm

c
in a dusty office with no windows

traveling by car to a snowy destination

It would be D for this question as it said to avoid southern foods, and yet in the next part, it contradicts itself by stating southerners are conservative. A negative leading into a positive. That’s not logical.

is it good crazy house

May: 19 1966. bye mom i'm going to the party “ok greg but don't go near that house you know the house”. Ya ya there's a haunted house in those woods and if you go in you will never come out. It has been haunted by the previous owner who died. That house has been haunted since 1956. That house has been abandoned since.

I reached the woods and there were a bunch of signs reading “stay out” “stay away don't take the risk” I walked right by those signs. But then I feel uneasy. I start to hear whispers saying “get out get out” “get out” I start running and the voices are getting louder “GeT OuT!! GeT OuT!!” I slip and start rolling down a cliff and bang!! I hit my head on a rock and I blacked out.
I see bright lights. It was comfy but wait whose house is this I just see blur but I can read cra- crazy hou- house no I wipe my eyes and I read it again crazy house OH NO NO NO NO this is the haunted house my mom was talking about. I saw a super fast blueish greenish light fly by me. I was hungry but all I saw in the house's fridge was a bunch of wooden bull heads. And all over the wall was a bunch of newspapers and posters saying missing kid missing person they were all last
seen in these woods. Ohh wait what is that poster!! It has my name on it I quickly read it says “missing kid greg caldwell” so I tear it up and I look every around the room and a bunch of my posters are up I start running up the spiral flight of stairs im running up the stairs but it feels like i'm not even going up I have been running up for 10 minutes strait. And it all still looks the same. It's like I'm in one of those carnival mazes where you feel you're at the end but youre right where you started. I went back

downstairs to use the phone and I dialled 911 but all I got was a bunch of static and a fainted voice which said “get out of my house'' and the voice got louder. “Get out, get out!!” That voice I heard in the woods, I ripped that phone from the wall and all the voices stopped… But 1 minute later I heard “you come to my house and rip my posters, step on my stars, sleep in my house and rip my phone from my house”. and I hear some strange noises coming from the hall.

I check on the hall and I see this pale 10ft super skinny man. He was as skinny as a skeleton. This thing said it again “you come to my house and rip my posters, step on my stars, sleep in my house and rip my phone off the wall GEEET OUT!!” Now he starts to chase me and he tackles me and he says “you will pay” he opens his mouth he had teeth like a shark he probably had 1 million of them.

Then boom we both hear an old guy screaming and starts attacking the monster and says “run!! Greg” So I ran off behind the coach and watched him fight. He kills the monster and the monster says you will pay in a fainted voice. I was hiding behind the couch and I am thinking how did he know my name greg how!! He steps up to me covered with green slime from the monster and says “get up son it's all over you're okay” wh- who are you and how do you know my name “kid stop talking and get up” ok I got up and he says “follow me”.

He take me to this secret room with a bunch of cameras and monitors he told me “how did you get here young man” I tell him everything and I say “my name is greg how do you know that” “I saw the posters” oh right well do you know how to get out of here “yes but it’s very complicated its like a maze. I have been studying this place for 70 years since I was 19.

“I now know this place is like it's my own house” wow!! Ok can you show me the exit please “sure but you have to pay” I got money “no I want your belt” what! why “trust me we will need it” ok but only if I can get out of here. hey do we need a key “oh ya thanks for reminding me” he grabbed a key out of the monsters stomach and his hand I covered with slime “ok all we need to do to get to the exit is walk down the stairs open this door and the exit is right ahead”.

ok are you coming “ya i'm just putting something on the house” “oh and take this” this is my poster of me missing ya watch it. We walked out of the house and the thing he put in the house was a bomb he set it off and BAAM!! It exploded. He says “look at the poster” I look at it and it starts to say Greg Caldwell, hero destroying the crazy house, how did you make that bomb? “From your belt son told ya we needed it”. I went home
and my mother ran up to me and started hugging me “thank you son now no more missing kids thank you”.
