Explanation:

adapted from The Cave of Gold
by Everett McNeil

I was up at dawn and found everybody up and awaiting eagerly the moment when there would be sufficient light in the canyon to make the climbing of the Big Tree and the entrance into Crooked Arm Gulch safe. At last Mr. Conroyal declared that the great moment had come.
"But," and he glanced around the group of eager faces, "we need one man here to stand guard. Who is willing to stay behind?"
For a moment, no one appeared willing to make this sacrifice. Then, with a smile on his face, Frank Holt offered.
"Reckon I'll stay," he said. "I'm not as young as I once was, and crawling along that rock is dangerous to legs as old as mine."
We set off to climb Big Tree. You may be sure that there were no laggards among us.
When we reached the gulch, Ham said, "Now, the first thing to do is to get down to the bottom."
"That looks easy! Right this way!" Thune began excitedly clambering down the rocks.
Soon, we all stood at the bottom of Crooked Arm Gulch. We excitedly looked around for the entrance to the Cave of Gold, looking in vain. In front of us the wall of the gulch had been hollowed out into a great overhanging arch, seventy-five or more feet in height and some fifteen feet deep.
Could this be the miner's Cave of Gold?
In a minute more, we all were searching for the hidden entrance to the cave on the back wall of the arch.
Thune stopped in front of a large flat rock that had fallen so that it stood nearly on edge, leaning against the back wall of the arch. "Come, give me a hand, Bud," he said to me, "and let's see what is behind this rock."
In a moment, we were tugging at the huge slab of rock and, at last, with a mighty effort, we pulled it away from the wall, revealing a black opening in the solid rock.
"Bravo!" I yelled.
"Found!" shouted Thune, and both of us made a dive for the hole, but Ham stopped us.
Ham thrust his body into the opening and began cautiously working his way forward.
In about five minutes, Ham came backing hurriedly out.
"Who's got the candles?" he cried excitedly. "There's a cave, but we must have lights."
Ham caught up one of the candles and, quickly lighting it, crawled into the hole again, holding the candle out in front of him.
Thune followed.
"The rest of us had better wait outside until we hear from Ham," Mr. Conroyal said, staring anxiously into the hole.
For perhaps ten minutes we waited, although to the uneasy and excited watchers outside it seemed more like an hour, because not a sound came from the hole. Then, suddenly, the excited voice of Thune was heard, booming out through the hole.
"It's the cave, the Cave of Gold!" he cried exultantly, his voice trembling with excitement. "Come in, all of you. There is room for all. I will hold my candle so that you can see."
In five minutes, we were staring wonderingly around us. The bottom of the cave was level and composed of a very coarse gravel, mixed with little rounded chunks of a yellowish metal that glowed in the light of the candles like thousands of dull yellow coals of fire.
Ham knelt down. In a voice hardly above a whisper, he said, "It is gold!"
At long last, we had found the old miner's lost cave of gold.

How would this story be different from Ham's point of view?
A.
There would be more details about what is inside the rock's opening.
B.
There would be more details about how Thune helped him reach the cave.
C.
There would be more details about the people waiting outside the cave.

Mr. Ridley

On the Friday before winter break, Mrs. Lyon was out sick with a cold. So, Mr. Ridley substituted for the day. Most of the students in Mrs. Lyon's class were normally well-behaved. However, with the anticipation of the winter break, they became a little wild. While Mr. Ridley was writing on the dry erase board, Margo threw a paper airplane at his back. The class giggled as Mr. Ridley spun around to see who had thrown the paper airplane.
"Class! Throwing paper airplanes at a teacher is unacceptable and disrespectful. Who did that?" Mr. Ridley asked.
The students kept their mouths closed and sat up straight in their chairs. No one volunteered any information.
"Fine then, you will all stay in from recess until someone tells me who threw the airplane," Mr. Ridley said.
Mercy wiggled in her seat. She wanted to tell the teacher who threw the airplane, but she was afraid that the other students would call her a tattle tale.
Alan, the class clown, was thrilled that someone besides him had done something foolish. He would never tell. He would expect the same loyalty from his classmates.
Margo felt nervous. She wanted to confess and apologize to Mr. Ridley, but she was afraid that she would receive a harsh punishment. She wondered how long her classmates would protect her.
Jervis sat and drummed his fingers. He didn't see who threw the paper airplane, but he guessed that it had been Alan. He was tempted to raise his hand and tell the teacher that Alan was the responsible party, but he wasn't completely confident. He really wished that someone would tell who did it. It wasn't fair that the whole class was being punished for one person's mistake.
Rosania was happy that the class wasn't going to recess. She had terrible allergies and wanted to stay inside. She hoped that no one would say a word until recess time was over.
Mr. Ridley walked around the classroom looking at each student's face as he went by. He thought he detected sweat and shaking when he walked by Fred. He wondered if Fred was the culprit. However, Fred just needed to use the restroom but was afraid to ask.
"Fred, you seem a bit anxious. What is it you want to tell me?" Mr. Ridley asked.
"Nothing, sir. I-I need to use the restroom," Fred stammered.
"No one is leaving this room until I find out who threw that airplane at me," Mr. Ridley said.
Margo could not allow her classmates to suffer any longer.
"It was me! I threw it! I'm sorry, Mr. Ridley," Margo said as she burst into tears.
Mr. Ridley hated to see children cry. He rushed over to Margo and gently patted her back.
"I forgive you. Don't cry," Mr. Ridley said.
"I was just being silly. I didn't mean to disrespect you," Margo sniffled.
"We will forget all about it. Let's enjoy the rest of our day together. Because you were honest, we will all play games for the rest of the day," Mr. Ridley announced.


A. Margo is eager, but Alan is hesitant.

B. Margo is regretful, but Alan is pleased.

C. Margo is happy, but Alan is worried.

New Technology Leads to Bigger Cities

In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain, a fast development of society following the introduction of machines. The United States was slower than Great Britain to fully embrace the changes. Yet key technological developments caused a rapid growth in American urban areas.

Better farming methods and tools in the 1800s increased food production. Americans were able to grow enough food for their families as well as to sell. The abundance caused food prices to fall.

The expansion of cotton and the growth of textile factories in northern states helped produce the first wave of American industry. More people turned to work in northern factories as a way to support their families. Thousands of immigrants to the United States also settled in or near port cities, looking for work. Even today, the need for work is a common reason people move to urban areas.

As a result, cities grew in numbers of people and physical space. As more people and businesses moved in, they needed buildings for living and working. They needed ways to move around the city. We call this process urbanization.

In 1820, the United States had only a few cities of 10,000 residents or more. About seven percent of U.S. residents lived in urban areas. The number of cities with more than 10,000 people grew quickly over the next 40 years, especially in the Northeast and Midwest. By 1860, about 20 percent lived in cities. Philadelphia and New York City were the most populated cities in 1860 and would soon reach one million residents.

The urbanization of the United States quickened due to technology improvements. Without innovations in food production, the factories could not have grown so quickly. The trend quickened after 1860 and continued throughout the 21st century as well. By 2007, more Americans lived in or near cities than they did in rural areas.

Which details are used to support the main fact in the fifth paragraph?

Mentions of Great Britain
Reasons why people move
Explanation of urbanization
Data about population changes

Read this excerpt from Immigrant Kids.

The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his own family's detention at Ellis Island:

We lived there for three days -- Mother and we five children, the youngest of whom was three years old. Because of the rigorous physical examination that we had to submit to, particularly of the eyes, there was this terrible anxiety that one of us might be rejected. And if one of us was, what would the rest of the family do?

The purpose of this excerpt is

to describe the physical examination experienced by an immigrant family.
to explain the day-to-day schedule experienced by an immigrant family.
to describe the fond memories experienced by an immigrant family.
to explain the feelings of worry experienced by an immigrant family.

Read the poem "The Wind’s Visit" by Emily Dickinson.

The wind tapped like a tired man,
And like a host, "Come in,"
I boldly answered; entered then
My residence within

A rapid, footless guest,
To offer whom a chair
Were as impossible as hand
A sofa to the air.

No bone had he to bind him,
His speech was like the push
Of numerous humming-birds at once
From a superior bush.

His countenance a billow,
His fingers, if he pass,
Let go a music, as of tunes
Blown tremulous in glass.

He visited, still flitting;
Then, like a timid man,
Again he tapped—'t was flurriedly—

if you dont know, PLEASE dont waste my time saying "idk" or "im just here for the points" (i give free brainlys and points out almost everyday in the middle of the day so please, if u need points just wait till i do the thing)

Dickinson’s use of figurative language in this poem expresses the idea that

the speaker is worried about the wind’s damaging power.
the speaker is frightened by the wind’s ghostlike appearance.
the speaker dislikes visits from unwanted guests.
the speaker enjoys this unexpected visit from the wind.
