Read the excerpt from "the scarlet ibis.” after we had drifted a long way, i put the oars in place and made doodle row back against the tide. black clouds began to gather in the southwest, and he kept watching them, trying to pull the oars a little faster. when we reached horsehead landing, lightning was playing across half the sky and thunder roared out, hiding even the sound of the sea. the sun disappeared and darkness descended, almost like night. flocks of marsh crows flew by, heading inland to their roosting trees, and two egrets, squawking, arose from the oyster-rock shallows and careened away. what best describes the effect of the imagery used in this excerpt? it shows the cruelty of the narrator. it the setting come alive. it reveals the fact that doodle is tired. it tells the reader that doodle will die.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the imagery and word choice in the second stanza creates a tone of liveliness and joy danger and gloom silence and peace anger and hostility
