TEKS 4
1. Answers will vary. Possible answer: Juliet thinks she is alone, so she talks
openly about her feelings for Romeo. However, the audience knows he is there
listening, so this part of the scene is an example of dramatic irony. Romeo and
the audience learn that she cares for Romeo, who also conveys his feelings for
Juliet. By the time Romeo announces his presence, he knows Juliet’s feelings. His
ability to speak freely moves the scene forward. In addition, the fact that Romeo
is hiding in the garden creates tension. If Romeo were out in the open as Juliet
first speaks, the scene would be less suspenseful.
2. Answers will vary. Possible answer: In this scene, Juliet states the problem that
she and Romeo face: Their families are enemies. This sets up their conflict. Will
Romeo and Juliet listen to their families, and deny their love for each other, or
will they go against their families? The dialogue indicates that they do not care
about their families’ feud. Juliet says it is only a name that is keeping her from
Romeo. Romeo says he would willingly give up his name to win Juliet. These
declarations reveal that Romeo and Juliet think for themselves and are willing to
disobey their families, if that is what it takes to be with each other.

1. The characters are the Woodman, the Serpent, and the Woodman’s children.

3. The point of view is third person narration. The narrator stands apart from the
action and refers to characters in the third person.
4. The conflict arises from the fact that the Woodman is trying to save the Serpent,
but the Serpent is trying to harm the Woodman’s children.
5. The following moment represents the climax: “. . . the Serpent raised its head
and put out its fangs and was about to sting the child to death.”
6. The resolution occurs when the Woodman kills the Serpent before the Serpent
can harm anyone.

1. The thesis is that women should be granted the right to vote in the United States.
2. An example of parallelism is the first sentence in the last paragraph: It was we,
the people; not we the white male citizens . . . The repetition of this grammatical
structure emphasizes the right women have to vote.
3. Answers will vary. Anthony’s argument is well supported. She uses a quote
from the preamble of the Constitution that adds quality and credibility to her

TEKS 11
1. Answers will vary. The objective is to describe a job with Tomorrow’s Promise
that is open to applicants. The objective is clearly evident.
2. Answers will vary. The text does not include specific work hours, a salary, or
any mention of benefits. It also does not give the organization’s specific Web site
address.
3. Answers will vary. The volunteer coordinator probably does not spend any
time teaching art to children because he or she is busy recruiting, training, and
monitoring the volunteers who do those things.
4. Answers will vary. An interested party would need to find the Tomorrow’s
Promise Web site address and look for a link that says “Apply for a Position.”
Then, he or she would need to follow directions and be sure to include his or her
letter, résumé, and salary requirement.
5. Answers will vary. Students may suggest including a photograph of the facility
to give the applicant a sense of what the place looks like or several screen shots

logically organize an essay.
3. Possible answer: Modern technology has made it possible for people to
communicate faster, easier, and from almost anywhere at anytime.
4. Answers will vary. Possible answer: Idea: Television makes it possible for
people to learn about events immediately after they happen or as they happen;
Details: News programs tell people what is happening in the world and live
coverage puts people on the scene of an event as it happens. Idea: Computers
make it possible for people to communicate instantly; Details: People can send
e-mails and instant messages anytime they want to. Idea: The Internet lets us
communicate with millions of people; Details: People can post information
online and post blogs online. Idea: Cell phones let people communicate from
almost anywhere; Details: With cell phones, people are almost always in touch
with one another, and with many of the new capabilities of these devices,
communication is even easier.
5. Possible answer: Computers have greatly helped us to communicate. In earlier
times, people communicated mainly by writing a message and sending it
through the mail. With computers, people can communicate instantly through
e-mail. As quick as this is, some day there may be something even faster. Who
knows what the future holds?

and the first word in a sentence, should be capitalized. A dash (or two commas)
should be used to indicate the parenthetical information.

his favorite local restaurant, The Sandwich Shop. The Sandwich Shop should be
capitalized because it is the name of a restaurant. Two commas should
