d)He trims the candles in every single room in the house because he likes the darkness.

Answer:

c

Explanation:

I'm pretty sure it's c

In "A Christmas Carol," what Scrooge does after the incident with the door knocker is:

C. He goes through each room in the house to make sure he is alone and then locks all the doors.

Ebenezer Scrooge is the main character in Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol." He is an old, grumpy man who seems to dislike everything and everyone.

One night, Scrooge sees the ghost of Marley, his former business partner, where the knocker on his door should be.

Scared, Scrooge closes and locks the door. He goes upstairs, checks each and every room to make sure there are no ghosts anywhere, and locks himself in his room.

With that in mind, we can choose letter C as the correct option.

The Golden Spike
Emily had never seen so many grown-ups in one place. There must have been thousands of people! They were standing shoulder-to-shoulder all the way down the railroad tracks, and the crowd must have been at least 50 people deep. It was as if every person in Box Elder County had shown up and brought three friends, and a horse to boot.
Emily's family and her friend Jeb's family had made the two-hour trip to Promontory in order to witness a national event. For the past six years—half of Emily's life—a new railroad line that would connect the entire country had been under construction. After building 1,800 miles of track, there was only one last spike to drive into one last piece of wood.
What excited Emily about this project was the tremendous difference it would make for travelers. She knew that yesterday, a trip from New York City to San Francisco would have taken six months. But starting today, with the new railroad, it would take only one week! Travel couldn't possibly get any faster than that, Emily figured. Railroads were truly the transportation of the future.
Grabbing Jeb's coverall strap, Emily followed him as they wove their way through a forest of dusty pants and dirty boots. She could barely see Jeb at all. Only the steady tug coming from the other end of the strap and his excited shouting told her he was there.
Several mouthfuls of dirty coattails and a few disapproving looks later, Emily and Jeb emerged at the edge of the tracks. Emily's heart leapt. “Wow!” was all she could say. Two beautiful locomotives, one pointing west and one pointing east, were stopped just a few feet from each other. Emily wished she could buy a ticket and hop on board that very moment.
Three men stood between the trains, at the center of everyone's attention. Emily knew by their clean, fancy clothing that they weren't from around here. And unless work clothes were different where they lived, they didn't look much accustomed to hard work. The man in the middle was struggling to raise a big sledgehammer above his head.
Jeb hollered, “This is it!” Emily took in a breath and watched as the man swung—and missed. The hammer clanged loudly on the metal rail instead.
The crowd let out a collective, “Awwwww.” A few men laughed. One of the train engineers blew his steam whistle. Despite sweating in the heat, the audience was having a good time.
The man mopped his brow with a handkerchief and gave it another swing. That time, he hit the spike straight on, and it sunk into place. As the crowd cheered, Emily's thoughts wandered. She was imagining herself traveling quickly to someplace far, far away.
In “The Golden Spike,” one way in which the man with the sledgehammer is different from the crowd is that the man.
A is sweating.
B is rich.
C doesn't have a job.
D has clean clothes.

Part B

Which excerpts from Chapter 3 best support the answer in Part A?

Select the two correct answers.


1."'What are moon-letters?' asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also liked runes and letters and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

.'Moon-letters are rune-letters, but you cannot see them,' said Elrond, 'not when you look straight at them. They can only be seen when the moon shines behind them, and what is more, with the more cunning sort it must be a moon of the same shape and season as the day when they were written.'"


2."Bilbo never forgot the way they slithered and slipped in the dusk down the steep zig-zag path into the secret valley of Rivendell. The air grew warmer as they got lower, and the smell of the pine-trees made him drowsy, so that every now and again he nodded and nearly fell off, or bumped his nose on the pony’s neck. Their spirits rose as they went down and down."

3.“'Don’t dip your beard in the foam, father!' they cried to Thorin, who was bent almost on to his hands and knees. 'It’s long enough without watering it.' 'Mind Bilbo doesn’t eat all the cakes,' they called. 'He is too fat to get through key-holes yet.' 'Hush, hush. Good People! and goodnight!' said Gandolf, who came last. 'Valleys have ears, and some elves have over merry tongues. Good night!' And so at last they all came to the Last Homely House, and found its doors flung wide."

"'Is that The Mountain?' asked Bilbo in a solemn voice, looking at it with round eyes. He had never seen a thing that looked so big before.

4.'Of course not!' said Belin. 'That is only the beginning of the Misty Mountains, and we have got to get through, or over, or under those somehow, before we can come into Wilder land beyond. And it is a deal of a way even from the other side of them to the Lonely Mountain in the East where Smaug lies on our treasure.'"

Read the excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." The bow of God's wrath is bent . . . It is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood. In this excerpt, the word "wrath" suggests that God wants to destroy the reader. God is eager to wage war. God is fiercely angry. God is feeling extreme grief.

But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be
admitted to the United States, immigrants had to pass
through Ellis Island, which became the nation's chief
immigrant processing center in 1892. There they would
be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass
all the exams would be detained; some would be sent
