Read the quotation. Let me walk three weeks in the footsteps of my enemy, carry the same burden, have the same trials as he, before I say one word to criticize. Which statement best restates the main idea of this quotation? Do not criticize an enemy after pretending to be him or her for three weeks. It's not good to criticize others because we don't know what they face in life. It's acceptable to criticize an enemy because he or she is not a good person. Criticizing another person is all right after a certain amount of time has passed.

Read the excerpt and answer the question. There one of them asked me why I wept. I could hardly tell what to say: Yet I answered, they would kill me. "No," said he, "none will hurt you." Then came one of them and gave me two spoonfuls of meal to comfort me, and another gave me half a pint of peas; which was more worth than many bushels at another time. How does this interaction between Rowlandson and the Native Americans affect Rowlandson's perspective of her captors?

Read the excerpt from "The Revolt of Mother." Then she stood waiting. She was a small woman, short and straight-waisted like a child in her brown cotton gown. Her forehead was mild and benevolent between the smooth curves of gray hair; there were meek downward lines about her nose and mouth; but her eyes, fixed upon the old man, looked as if the meekness had been the result of her own will, never of the will of another. What does this description of mother reveal to the reader? She lacks the intellectual abilities most other people her age have. The difficult life she leads has left many visible marks on her body. Though she is a grown woman, she is juvenile in appearance and demeanor. She is a lonely woman who dreams of a life far away from the farm.
