The Lumber Room
by Saki
 
1 - The children were to be driven, as a special treat, to the sands at Jagborough. Nicholas was not to be of the party; he was in disgrace. Only that morning he had refused to eat his wholesome bread-and-milk on the seemingly frivolous ground that there was a frog in it. Older and wiser and better people had told him that there could not possibly be a frog in his bread-and-milk and that he was not to talk nonsense; he continued, nevertheless, to talk what seemed the veriest nonsense, and described with much detail the coloration and markings of the alleged frog.
 
2 - The dramatic part of the incident was that there really was a frog in Nicholas's basin of bread-and-milk; he had put it there himself, so he felt entitled to know something about it. The sin of taking a frog from the garden and putting it into a bowl of wholesome bread-and-milk was enlarged on at great length, but the fact that stood out clearest in the whole affair, as it presented itself to the mind of Nicholas, was that the older, wiser, and better people had been proved to be profoundly in error in matters about which they had expressed the utmost assurance.
 
Whose perspective is being presented in the following passage?
36 - As for Nicholas, he, too, was silent, in the absorption of one who has much to think about; it was just possible, he considered, that the huntsman would escape with his hounds while the wolves feasted on the stricken stag.
A. Nicholas
B. The Aunt's
C. The cousins'

The Invalid's Story 

by Mark Twain

1 - I seem sixty and married, but these effects are due to my condition and sufferings, for I am a bachelor, and only forty-one. It will be hard for you to believe that I, who am now but a shadow, was a hale, hearty man two short years ago, a man of iron, a very athlete!--yet such is the simple truth. But stranger still than this fact is the way in which I lost my health. I lost it through helping to take care of a box of guns on a two-hundred-mile railway journey one winter's night. It is the actual truth, and I will tell you about it.

2 - I belong in Cleveland, Ohio. One winter's night, two years ago, I reached home just after dark, in a driving snow-storm, and the first thing I heard when I entered the house was that my dearest boyhood friend and schoolmate, John B. Hackett, had died the day before, and that his last utterance had been a desire that I would take his remains home to his poor old father and mother in Wisconsin.
 
Which event helps set up the irony in The Invalid's Story?
A. I reached home just after dark, in a driving snow-storm...
B. ...I was carrying off a box of guns, and he had got my corpse...
C. He gasped once or twice, then moved toward the cof--gun-box...

The Necklace

by Guy de Maupassant

1 - The girl was one of those pretty and charming young creature who sometimes are born, as if by a slip of fate, into a family of clerks. She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of being known, understood, married by and rich and distinguished man;  so she let herself be married to a little clerk of the Ministry of Public Instruction.

2 - She dressed plainly because she could not dress well, but she was as unhappy as if she had really fallen from a higher station; since with women there is neither caste nor ranked for beauty, grace, and  charm take the place of birth and family. Natural ingenuity, instinct for what is elegant, a supple mind are their sole hierarchy, and often make of women of the people the equals of the very greatest ladies.

The number is defined to be the ratio circumference/diameter for any circle. We also all know that the area of a circle is . It is a sheer coincidence that they are both the same , even though one concerns the circumference and one concerns the area? No!

What about for a regular pentagon? It turns out that for the appropriate definition of the "diameter" of a regular pentagon, if we define the number θ (read as tetha) to be the ratio of the perimeter/diameter of a regular pentagon, then its area is always , where r is half of the diameter. For this to be true, what should be the "diameter" of a regular pentagon?

A. The distance between the farthest corners of the pentagon.

B. The diameter of the largest circle the fits inside the pentagon.

C. The diameter of the smallest circle that fits around the pentagon.

The Gift of the Magi

     by O. Henry

 1 - ONE dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.
 2 - There was clearly nothing left to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.
 3 - While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the look-out for the mendicancy squad.
