Questions 12–17 refer to the following text, the poem “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley.

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Questions 18–19 refer to the following text, the poem “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley.

Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pitch from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.In the fell clutch of circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul.

Question 20 of 20

20. Question

Questions 20 refer to the following text, a piece of travel writing.

Another Kind of SmokeJust off the coast of Kagoshima exists Sakurajima, the most active volcano in Japan. The magma bubbling underneath produces the hot, mineral-rich water pumped into the city’s famed onsen baths. What classifies as an eruption happens annually, and the mountain puffs up smoke nearly every day, the dark ash trailing in the wind for miles.

Kagoshima residents live under the threat of a major eruption, just as we do in Santa Rosa with wildfires. It’s not uncommon for the air to turn to smoke, or ash to fall on the city. On less fortunate days, elementary school students venturing outside wear helmets to protect them from debris.
