Quirky is a company that helps people invent new products. Quirky gives inventors a design team that helps them bring their thoughts to life. The staff of Quirky (75 people and growing) listens to proposals for new projects and votes on which products the company will make. One famous example of a Quirky product was invented by a salesman who lived in Baltimore. He noticed that people who lived in apartment buildings kept large air conditioners hanging out of their windows. Those air conditioners would run all day. He invented a slim air conditioner that can be turned on and off using a phone app. His air conditioners use less energy than old-fashioned air conditioners. Without the team at Quirky, he never would have been able to make his idea a reality. What can we infer about the salesman from Baltimore?

A. He used to work as an air conditioning repairman.
B. He was nervous to present his product at Quirky.
C. He doesn't like seeing air conditioners in windows.
D. He believes that working with others is a smart business move.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
