Cinque Terre
In the hills along the coast of the Italian Riviera rests the five villages of Cinque Terre. They rise into the terraced hills of Italian wine country and overlook the laconic waters of the Ligurian Sea. The name translates to “the five lands,” and each village distinguishes itself from the next in terms of its storybook atmosphere. The food is miraculous. The anchovies are caught fresh daily. The pesto sauce is made from local pine nuts and basil leaves. Bakeries filled with focaccia bread and farinata snacks make Cinque Terre famous the world over.
The scenic overlooks along the coast of Cinque Terre are breathtaking. The villages cling to the walls of green cliffs that plunge into the sea. Dolphins swim and chatter in the surf, hungry for attention from Cinque Terre’s many visitors. Local fisherman haul in nets filled with fresh fish and seafood that grace the tables of nearby cantinas and bistros. Visitors have the opportunity to hike from town to town, enjoying the countryside and romantic landscapes along the way.
Such a magical place to visit or live requires protection from development and pollution. The Italian government recently incorporated the five villages into a national park. It also passed laws to protect the fisheries and coastline. This allows the government to restrict future development that would ruin the landscape or change the unique culture of the locale. Because of the steps taken by the Italian government, Cinque Terre will remain a picturesque community to be enjoyed by visitors for many years to come.

What caused the american civil war? there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense. one of the main quarrels was about taxes paid on goods brought into this country from foreign countries. this tax was called a tariff. southerners felt these tariffs were unfair and aimed toward them because they imported a wider variety of goods than most northern people. taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. an awkward economic structure allowed states and private transportation companies to do this, which also affected southern banks that found themselves paying higher interest rates on loans made with banks in the north. the situation grew worse after several “panics,” including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. southern financiers found themselves burdened with high payments just to save northern banks that had suffered financial losses through poor investment. which sentence from the selection states a major detail that supports the main idea? a there were many reasons for a civil war to happen in america, and political issues and disagreements began soon after the american revolution ended in 1782. b taxes were also placed on many southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to northern goods of equal value. c the situation grew worse after several "panics," including one in 1857 that affected more northern banks than southern. d this tax was called a tariff. e between the years 1800 and 1860, arguments between the north and south grew more intense.

Read the following passage: he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue— but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. the once occasional huskiness of his tone was heard no more; and a tremulous quaver, as if of extreme terror, habitually characterized his utterance. there were times, indeed, when i thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret, to divulge which he struggled for the necessary courage. which of the above ideas might be considered foreshadowing? he is wandering all over the chamber his skin tone is really pale his voice is quivering the narrator thinks he is laboring with an oppressive secret
