Read this passage:
The doorknob shakes and rattles, and then there's a
pounding outside – fist to oak. Lilla sits up anxiously on
the couch. Again the knob, and then the jangle of keys.
Please be Maggie, Lilla whispers to herself. She stands
and leans against the doorway gently, listening for
breathing, trying to decide who has come to fetch her -
her mother or her sister.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. there the woods of spring are a-bloom, and the fragrant scent “he is i” is borne on the wind: there the bee of the heart is deeply immersed, and desires no other joy. in at least one hundred words, how does kabir express his belief in god in this excerpt from “tell me, o swan, your ancient tale”?

Read the excerpt from muir's essay "calypso borealis" and answer the question. [5] how long i sat beside calypso i don't know. hunger and weariness vanished, and only after the sun was low in the west i splashed on through the swamp, strong and exhilarated as if never more to feel any mortal care. at length i saw maple woods on a hill and found a log house. i was gladly received. "where ha ye come fra? the swamp, that awfu' swamp. what were ye doin' there? " etc. "mony a puir body has been lost in that muckle, cauld, dreary bog and never been found." when i told her i had entered it in search of plants and had been in it all day, she wondered how plants could draw me to these awful places, and said, "it's god's mercy ye ever got out." examine the details muir includes in this paragraph. which statement accurately explains how muir's response to nature compares to the log house owner's response? he is enthusiastic and in awe while she is doubtful and fearful. muir cautiously admires whereas the lady shows religious dedication. the lady is more interested in the bog while muir is fascinated by plants. they both admire nature—its intense dangers and its true treasures.
