Read the excerpt from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza.

Every mother in the village could ask you to do an errand. If I was in the middle of a game, or just sitting in the street watching the zopilotes, some neighbor would call me: "Ernesto, come here and take this to Doña Eduvijes." What right she had to order me around no one ever explained, but I was taught to move right up, answer "Si, señora," and do the errand.

In fact, running errands was the special business of any boy or girl between the ages of four and six.

Based on the details in this excerpt, which lesson did the author learn in his youth?

Sitting in the street is dangerous.
Running errands is a special privilege.
Anyone can order young children around.
Adults must be respected and obeyed.

Read the excerpt below from "letter from birmingham jail" and then answer the question below: "my citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. but i must confess that i am not afraid of the word "tension." i have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." how does king's repetition of the term "tension" impact the meaning of the text? question 5 options: dr. king says that he is afraid of the word tension and he doesn't think it is necessary. dr. king repeats the word tension to explain how he sees the word as a negative force that discourages change. dr. king repeats the word tension unintentionally, and it doesn't impact the meaning of the text. dr. king repeats the word tension to support how he views the word tension as positive and growth-producing.
