 8C, with algebra, make up three questions so you can sell them to EQAO

e.g. Steak dinner costs $12 more than a chicken dinner. All together the two dishes cost $58. How much for the chicken and steak dinner


Short writing (6 to 8 sentences, scored out of 50 points)

"What is your favourite food?" talk about the restaurant, atmosphere, taste, price, value, popularity and other factors). Must have at least 5 adjectives, 2 adverbs and 2 conjunctions in your short writing

Example:

On a cold winter afternoon, nothing tastes better than a bowl of steaming hot ramen with creamy, oily broth and thick noodles. Instantly, that warms me up in a small cozy Japanese restaurant, enjoying the meal with my buddies. The thickly sliced pork belly, together with the unbelievably flavourful beef chunks, should be nominated for a Michelin star. Maybe that is why ramen is getting popularity all over the city since there are so many new affordable noodle places in town.


Although the Costco hot dog is really inexpensive, the taste and flavour are unbeatable because it is made of real beef sausage, wrapped tightly in a warmed sesame bun. After one big bite into the front end of the dog, a massive amount of ketchup and a hint of yellow mustard spill all over my lips. If this isn't the best deal in town for $1.50, something must be wrong with your taste buds.

Lamb To The Slaughter Questions


 Answer the following questions making reference to the text to support your responses.

 

  1. What do the first few paragraphs of the story suggest about Mary Maloney’s relationship with her husband?


  1. Before the husband breaks the news, what three clues are there that this particular evening is going to be a break with routine?


  1. Do you think the murder was “premeditated” or a “crime of passion”? Give examples from the text to support your answer.


  1. Is it reasonable that the policemen should be fooled by what she says (remember she is a policeman's wife) or do you find the whole thing rather unlikely?


  1. Do you think Mary Maloney is a “normal” person? Did she react in a normal way? Why or why not?
