Instructions

Read lines 13 and 14 from "The Path That Leads to Home."

  And mad for pleasure some are bent,
  And some are seeking fame, 

Required

Question 1

Which word or phrase best states the meaning of bent as it is used here?

badly crooked or curved

strongly willing to try

dishonest

moved out of line

Required

Question 2

Traveling away from home is a waste of time.

The world is full of exciting places to visit.

Nothing is more pleasing than being home with family.

It is only by leaving home that we learn to love it.

Required

Question 3

I know no finer path to roam, with finer sights to see.

And sweating brow  and weary breast are all they seem to know.

Across the world the gleaming steel holds out its lure for men,

But no one finds his comfort real, Till he comes home again.

Required

Question 4

The world offers wonderful sights but not what is most important.

Some travel only because they are searching for pleasure of fame.

Many must leave their homes because they are ill or injured.

Weary people can find happiness by traveling across the sea.

Required

Question 5

The world offers only piles of rusty junkyard cars.

The world has contrasting climates, from cold to hot and dry.

The world is full of natural beauty, but there is also ugliness.

The world will be left with a footprint made by a single person

Required

Question 6

The ends of the earth are worth visiting but might hold some unusual surprises.

The natural wonders of the world might be spoiled by the choices that people make.

Going out into the world opens up new opportunities for people to better their lives.

Traveling to far away places brings adventure and excitement.
