In 1910, just before Marie Curie collected her second Nobel Prize for radioactivity, young György Hevesy arrived in England to study radioactivity himself. His university’s lab director in Manchester, Ernest Rutherford, immediately assigned Hevesy the Herculean task of separating out radioactive atoms from nonradioactive atoms inside blocks of lead. Actually, it turned out to be not Herculean but impossible. Rutherford had assumed the radioactive atoms, known as radium-D, were a unique substance. In fact, radium-D was radioactive lead and therefore could not be separated chemically. Ignorant of this, Hevesy wasted two years tediously trying to tease lead and radium-D apart before giving up.

Hevesy—a bald, droopy-cheeked, mustached aristocrat from Hungary—also faced domestic frustrations. Hevesy was far from home and used to savory Hungarian food, not the English cooking at his boardinghouse. After noticing patterns in the meals served there, Hevesy grew suspicious that, like a high school cafeteria recycling Monday’s hamburgers into Thursday’s beef chili, his landlady’s “fresh” daily meat was anything but. When confronted, she denied this, so Hevesy decided to seek proof.

Miraculously, he’d achieved a breakthrough in the lab around that time. He still couldn’t separate radium-D, but he realized he could flip that to his advantage. He’d begun musing over the possibility of injecting minute quantities of dissolved lead into a living creature and then tracing the element’s path, since the creature would metabolize the radioactive and nonradioactive lead the same way, and the radium-D would emit beacons of radioactivity as it moved. If this worked, he could actually track molecules inside veins and organs, an unprecedented degree of resolution.

Before he tried this on a living being, Hevesy decided to test his idea on the tissue of a nonliving being, a test with an ulterior motive. He took too much meat at dinner one night and, when the landlady’s back was turned, sprinkled “hot” lead over it. She gathered his leftovers as normal, and the next day Hevesy brought home a newfangled radiation detector from his lab buddy, Hans Geiger. Sure enough, when he waved it over that night’s goulash, Geiger’s counter went furious: click-click-click-click. Hevesy confronted his landlady with the evidence. But, being a scientific romantic, Hevesy no doubt laid it on thick as he explained the mysteries of radioactivity. In fact, the landlady was so charmed to be caught so cleverly, with the latest tools of forensic science, she didn’t even get mad. There’s no historical record of whether she altered her menu, however.

Grabbing a small object, such as an apple, may seem automatic and easy. But few people consider the complex biological mechanism underlying this simple act. Neurons in the brain instantly fire in patterns that send commands down the spinal cord. These commands are relayed to muscle tissue in the arm. The tissue contracts, raising the arm, extending an elbow, or flexing the wrist and fingers. For some people with spinal cord injuries, those commands are hindered by their damaged nervous systems. Their brains are no longer able to send messages throughout their bodies. For these people, these actions may require substantial effort or be completely impossible.

Read this excerpt from Patrick Henry’s speech “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.” What is the main idea of the text?

We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

Read the excerpt from the primary source, "A Letter Written by Sarah Stockert."

When my chance at stardom arrived, I answered the call immediately and wholeheartedly. As they say, the show must go on! My acting instinct rose to the occasion. I knew my lines, and no one would have known I had the slightest hint of stage fright.

Striding onto the stage and taking my mark, my persona changed. The nerves vanished. Where to? I don't have a clue. In their place, perseverance and a little bit of confidence. The overhead lights were hot, blinding, and made it impossible to decipher faces. To be honest, I was a little annoyed that the producer hadn't noticed and turned them down.

Read the excerpt from the secondary source, "The Show Must Go On."

The producer called a quick intermission. Audience members were left bored and clueless waiting for the show to resume. The stage curtains were drawn, and behind the scenes, a search began. It seems that nerves had gotten the best of our star. Rumors were confirmed that Stockert had suffered a case of stage fright. She was found pacing in her dressing room. Nervous and too stunned to perform, she stalled the entire performance for a period of 20 minutes.

The show did go on, and when the performance resumed, Stockert was already in position. Her onstage entrance had been removed. The glare of the bright lights ensured that our lead did not make eye contact with the audience. The strategies to remedy her stage fright worked.

What is the major difference between the retelling of Sarah Stockert's performance in the primary and secondary sources?

In the primary text, Sarah is not nervous.
In the primary text, Sarah never makes it to the stage.
In the secondary text, the audience is frustrated by Sarah's delay.
In the secondary text, the audience is unaware of Sarah's nerves.



What is the same about the retelling of Sarah Stockert's first night on Broadway in the texts "A Letter Written by Sarah Stockert" and "The Show Must Go On."

In both texts, the audience was unaware of any problems.
In both texts, Sarah Stockert impressed the crowd.
In both texts, Sarah Stockert was nervous to perform
