The Railway Children
By Edith Nesbit

Chapter I, The Beginning of Things

They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say.

There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother HAD had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.

Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps.

These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was NOT ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn't help himself.

You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know HOW happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed.

The dreadful change came quite suddenly.

Mary Jackson and Katherine Johnson both have to endure racism. That time, most African Americans were stifled with access to education.

Also I took the test:

Answer:C

An excerpt is indeed a quotation from that other resource that the author introduces with fresh language in a sentence. This phrase is taken from Thomas Jefferson's 1801 inaugural speech: As he warned his audience, "I may often go wrong by defect of judgement," Jefferson admitted the fallibility of human nature. "I shall frequently err through lack of judgement" is the excerpt.

This is a brief passage from a lengthy work, hence being an excerpt first from Declaration of Independence: "When it comes to necessary for one nation to cut the political ties that have bound them to another, and also to assume among powers of the world," says the philosopher Aristotle.  The words "rugged and dense" suggest that the narrator feels claustrophobic because the forest is difficult to navigate. This best explains Dante's intended use of imagery in this passage.

Therefore, the correct option is option C.

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn is best expressed by option A, "He has thoughts and feelings that he wishes to keep from Claudius."

As is revealed in the passage from "Hamlet," the main character Hamlet does not wish his uncle Claudius to know what he feels and thinks. That should not be surprising, since Hamlet believes Claudius has killed his father to usurp the throne - which he indeed has. Not only that, but Claudius also married Hamlet's mother.

When Hamlet says the line in the passage, he means that Claudius is his family twice, since he is his uncle and, now, stepfather. However, he also notices that there is bad blood between them.

With that in mind, we correctly chose option A.

This is the missing excerpt from "Hamlet":

Claudius: But now my cousin Hamlet, and my son.

Hamlet (aside): A little more than kin, and less than kind.

Claudius: How is it that the clouds still hang on you.
