1. That felicity, when I reflected on it, has induced me sometimes to say, that
were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults of the first. So I might, besides correcting the faults, change some sinister accidents and events of it for others more favorable.
Author: A. William Faulkner B. Benjamin Franklin C. Ralph Waldo Ellison Work: A. The Autobiography B. Barn Burning C. The Great Gatsby
2. It was now midnight, and my task was drawing to a close. I had completed the
eighth, the ninth, and the tenth tier. I had finished a portion of the last and the eleventh; there remained but a single stone to be fitted and plastered in. I struggled with its weight; I placed it partially in its destined position. But now there came from out the niche a low laugh that erected the hairs upon my head. It was succeeded by a sad voice, which I had difficulty in recognising as that of the noble Fortunato.
Author: A. Edgar Allan Poe B. William Faulkner C. Ralph Waldo Ellison Work: A. The Cask of Amontillado B. Barn Burning C.The Autobiography
3. The world has been instructed by its kings, who have so magnetized the eyes

A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of the matter in hand, except that it gave them a half-holiday, ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the ignominious letter on her breast. It was no great distance, in those days, from the prison door to the market-place.
Author: A. Nathaniel Hawthorne B. William Faulkner C. Emily Dickenson Work: A. Moby Dick B. The Scarlet Letter C.Walden
5. As the boat bounced from the top of each wave, the wind tore through the hair

7. A little before three the Lutheran minister arrived from Flushing, and I began
to look involuntarily out the windows for other cars. So did Gatsby’s father. And as the time passed and the servants came in and stood waiting in the hall, his eyes began to blink anxiously, and he spoke of the rain in a worried, uncertain way. The minister glanced several times at his watch, so I took him aside and asked him to wait for half an hour. But it wasn’t any use. Nobody came.
