W Rich had to completely guess on almost half the questions on his final
exam, and he then left all the other questions blank. "Guess I'll be
taking Particle Physics again next semester," he said to himself, and he
felt so embarrassed that he wrote a fake name on the test, the most
random name he could think of: Yann Scheele.
But there was actually a student named Yann Scheele at the university,
and he sat three rows down from Rich and had just patted himself on
the back for studying hard and acing nearly every question. He got up
and slapped his test down on the professor's desk, and then looked
around and saw that he was one of the first students to finish. He had
to resist the urge to dance on his way out of the lecture hall.
Which statement best explains the text's use of dramatic irony?
A. When Yann Scheele turns in his test, the reader knows he will fail
or be accused of cheating.
B. When Yann Scheele turns in his test, the author portrays the
character as hardworking and confident.
C. When Rich writes a fake name on the exam, the audience is aware
that Rich will fail Particle Physics this semester.
D. When Rich writes a fake name on the exam, he is not yet aware
that he will have to take the class again.

Kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.” how does the extended metaphor in paragraph 3 affect the mood of this passage? a-it creates a feeling of silliness that captures the absurd humor of the situation. b- it creates a sense of tranquility to match the feelings of min at this point. c-it creates a feeling of fear over what may happen if the kite crashes. d-it creates a sense of awe and wonder at min's mastery of the kite.
