Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.68 Imperialism in Africa skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

The narrator says, "Our friendship is a bridge"—then admits she’s the only one doing the repairs while the other person crosses and leaves. She adds, "Loyalty is my lonely crowd."

How do these figurative choices shape the narrator’s perspective?

AThey show the narrator feels supported and balanced.

BThey show the narrator thinks friendship is simple.

CThey show the narrator is angry at bridges and crowds.

DThey show the narrator feels used and isolated despite being devoted, creating a wounded tone.

Solution & Explanation:The bridge metaphor shows she holds the friendship together alone. “Lonely crowd” emphasizes isolation even while being “with” loyalty, creating a wounded perspective.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In a short story, the narrator calls her new job "a golden cage"—high pay, strict rules, and no time for family.

Which explanation best captures the metaphor’s effect on meaning?

AIt suggests the job is worthless.

BIt suggests the job is both appealing and trapping, creating a conflicted tone.

CIt suggests the job involves animals.

DIt suggests the job is easy and relaxing.

Solution & Explanation:Gold suggests value, while a cage suggests confinement. The metaphor shows a job that looks great but limits freedom, creating conflict.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A character describes her anxiety as "a polite monster"—it waits until she’s alone, then grows teeth in her thoughts.

What does the oxymoron "polite monster" emphasize?

AAnxiety is always helpful.

BAnxiety is imaginary and cannot hurt anyone.

CAnxiety can seem quiet and manageable at first but becomes threatening, creating a dark tone.

DAnxiety makes her act rude to others.

Solution & Explanation:“Polite” suggests harmlessness; “monster” suggests danger. The oxymoron shows anxiety can appear mild but turn frightening, darkening the tone.
