Read the passages. Passage 1
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in southern England that was built more than 5,000 years ago. The monument consists of huge
stones arranged in circles. The circles are made of sandstone columns. A ten-foot stone lies across the top of each pair of columns, forming the
shape of a door. In the center of the monument is a circle of smaller stones called bluestones.
Near the main structure is a special stone called the Heel Stone. On the morning of the solstice, the sun rises directly over the Heel Stone.
This placement shows that Stonehenge most likely was used as a scientific observatory. The arrangement of stones in relation to the stars might
also have allowed people to predict solar eclipses.
Nobody knows for sure how the heavy stones were transported to the site. People may have dragged them there, or glaciers may have
moved the stones closer to the site. Today, the nearest source of sandstone is 19 miles away, and bluestones are located nearly 250 miles away
Which statement explains how the authors present a key idea differently?
01. The author of Passage 1 thinks that Stonehenge was an observatory, while the author of Passage 2 thinks that Stonehenge was a
holy site.
02. The author of Passage 1 thinks Stonehenge was built by prehistoric humans, while the author of Passage 2 thinks that Stonehenge
was built by the Celts in about 750 BC.
O 3. The author of Passage 1 thinks that the stones of Stonehenge were dragged over land, while the author of Passage 2 thinks the
stones were transported by glaciers or through water.
4. The author of Passage 1 thinks that the Heel Stone of Stonehenge had an astronomical purpose, while the author of Passage 2
thinks that the Heel Stone served as a tombstone in a burial ground.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
