Read this excerpt from We've Got a Job. No one would have blamed Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks if they had decided to keep quiet about civil rights following the
bombing of their friend's home. But Audrey's parents weren't intimidated. The very next day, her father and about
fifteen other blacks sat down in the front section of a bus, where only whites were permitted. When the driver
demanded they move to the back, Audrey's father politely refused, saying "We [are) comfortable where we are sitting."
As a result, Mr. Hendricks was arrested and spent six nights in jail. When he was released, he volunteered to guard
the Shuttlesworths' home.
Why do Mr. Hendricks and others sit in a section of the bus where they are not permitted?
O to figure out who is responsible for the previous night's violence
O to show they will keep fighting even though their friend's home was destroyed
O to rally other people in the area to join their fight against segregation laws
O to experience the comfort and convenience of the front of the bus

Select the correct answer. what opinion about russian society does leo tolstoy express in this excerpt from the death of ivan ilyich? the awful, terrible act of his dying was, he could see, reduced by those about him to the level of a casual, unpleasant, and almost indecorous incident (as if someone entered a drawing room defusing an unpleasant odour) and this was done by that very decorum which he had served all his life long. he saw that no one felt for him, because no one even wished to grasp his position. only gerasim recognized it and pitied him. and so ivan ilyich felt at ease only with him. he felt comforted when gerasim supported his legs (sometimes all night long) and refused to go to bed, saying: "don't you worry, ivan ilyich. i'll get sleep enough later on," or when he suddenly became familiar and exclaimed: "if you weren't sick it would be another matter, but as it is, why should i grudge a little trouble? " gerasim alone did not lie; everything showed that he alone understood the facts of the case and did not consider it necessary to disguise them, but simply felt sorry for his emaciated and enfeebled master. once when ivan ilyich was sending him away he even said straight out: "we shall all of us die, so why should i grudge a little trouble? "—expressing the fact that he did not think his work burdensome, because he was doing it for a dying man and hoped someone would do the same for him when his time came. a. the peasant class in nineteenth-century russia was full of honest and compassionate people. b. educated professionals gained influence in russian society in the nineteenth century. c. in the nineteenth century, middle-class russians were rich and well-educated. d. peasants more readily accepted unpleasant facts of life, while the middle class tried to deny them.
