She was dressed in rich materials - satins, and lace, and silks - all of white. Her shoes were white. And she had a long white veil dependent from her hair, and she had bridal flowers in her hair, but her hair was white. Some bright jewels sparkled on her neck and on her hands, and some other jewels lay sparkling on the table. Dresses, less splendid than the dress she wore, and half-packed trunks, were scattered about. She had not quite finished dressing, for she had but one shoe on - the other was on the table near her hand - her veil was but half arranged, her watch and chain were not put on, and some lace for her bosom lay with those trinkets, and with her handkerchief, and gloves, and some flowers, and a prayer-book, all confusedly heaped about the dressing table mirror.

What is most closely the central idea of the passage below (paragraphs 8-
10)?

They have a bleak future. He and Belky are not likely to finish grade school. Lourdes cannot
afford uniforms or pencils. Her husband is gone. A good job is out of the question.
Lourdes knows of only one place that offers hope. As a seven-year-old child delivering tortillas
her mother made to wealthy homes, she glimpsed this place on other people's television
screens. The filckering Images were a far cry from Lourdes's childhood home: a two-room
sheck made of wooden slets, its flimsy tin roof weighted down with rocks, the only bathroom a
clump of bushes outside. On television, she saw New York City's spectacular skyline. Las
Vegas's shimmering lights, Disneyland's magic castle.
Lourdes hos decided: She will leave. She will go to the United States and make money and
send it home. She will be gone for one year-less, with luck-or she will bring her children to
be with her. It is for them she is leaving, she tells herself but still she feels guilty.


A. The passage shows the reasons why Lourdes decides to migrate to the United
States.

B. The passage shows that Lourdes' dream has always been to live at Disneyland.

C. The passage shows why Lourdes and her family are poor.

D. The passage shows that Lourdes has always wanted to move to the United States.

If A can prove, however conclusively, that he may of right enslave B, why may not B snatch the same argument and prove equally that he may enslave A? You say A is white and B is black. It is colour, then; the lighter having the right to enslave the darker? Take care. By this rule you are to be slave to the first man you meet with a fairer skin than your own.

You do not mean colour exactly? You mean the whites are intellectually the superiors of the blacks, and therefore have the right to enslave them? Take care again. By this rule you are to be slave to the first man you meet with an intellect superior to your own.

But, say you, it is a question of interest, and if you make it your interest you have the right to enslave another. Very well. And if he can make it his interest he has the right to enslave you.
