Read the excerpt from “Harriet Tubman: A Life of Toil and Triumph.” After Harriet journeyed to the safety of Philadelphia, she met with members of the Anti-Slavery Society. She wanted to learn more about the special railroad that had helped her become free, and then she wanted to help. Without taking any time to enjoy her newfound freedom, she signed on as a conductor. Soon she was headed back to Maryland to guide others safely north.

Then in 1850, the United States passed the Fugitive Slave Act. This forced citizens of the Northern states to return escaped enslaved persons to the South. Remarkably, Harriet did not become discouraged. Instead, she conducted her passengers all the way to Canada—a trip of an extra three hundred miles! In all, she made that trip nineteen times, freeing her family and three hundred additional enslaved persons in the process.

What inference can be made about Harriet Tubman’s character?

She was tireless in bringing others to freedom.
She felt entitled to freedom and an easy life.
She was too busy to enjoy her new freedom.
She worked as a conductor to free her family.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the ? 1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.

Kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.” how does the extended metaphor in paragraph 3 affect the mood of this passage? a-it creates a feeling of silliness that captures the absurd humor of the situation. b- it creates a sense of tranquility to match the feelings of min at this point. c-it creates a feeling of fear over what may happen if the kite crashes. d-it creates a sense of awe and wonder at min's mastery of the kite.
