Read the excerpt from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never," but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.

Which statement correctly identifies a transition used in this excerpt and explains how it supports the reader?

A. The words "on which the firelight shone" indicate a shift in place and help the reader determine where the girls are.

B. The words "but darkened again" indicate a shift in time and help the reader determine that it is nighttime.

C. The words "thinking of Father far away" indicate a shift in place and help the reader determine that the girls' father is in another location.

D. The words "where the fighting was" indicate a shift in time and help the reader determine that the action is moving from one time period to another.

Read the following passage: he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue— but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. the once occasional huskiness of his tone was heard no more; and a tremulous quaver, as if of extreme terror, habitually characterized his utterance. there were times, indeed, when i thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret, to divulge which he struggled for the necessary courage. which of the above ideas might be considered foreshadowing? he is wandering all over the chamber his skin tone is really pale his voice is quivering the narrator thinks he is laboring with an oppressive secret
