Barney was a black male cat who used to live in our barn. But it wasn't long before Barney decided that the people feeding him every day might be worth knowing. So he "moved in" now and then to snooze on an overstuffed chair, to wash himself on a soft rug, to climb into a lap for a
little petting, or to get an occasional handout after the people-dinner. Most nights, though, Barney preferred to stay outside prowling the area,
investigating new smells from the passers-by during the day, threatening the field mice who scampered at night, and keeping trespassers in the
form of other cats out of his territory.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, in which the crowd begins to disperse just before the first martian exits the cylinder.when i returned to the common the sun was setting. scattered groups were hurrying from the direction of woking, and one or two persons were returning. the crowd about the pit had increased, and stood out black against the lemon yellow of the sky—a couple of hundred people, perhaps. there were raised voices, and some sort of struggle appeared to be going on about the pit. strange imaginings passed through my mind. as i drew nearer i heard stent's voice: "keep back! keep back! "a boy came running towards me."it's a-movin'," he said to me as he passed; 'a-screwin' and a-screwin' out. i don't like it. i'm a-goin' 'ome, i am."what options accurately depict the impact of the boy's words on pacing within the excerpt?
