Read this excerpt from “Street Cleaning Day.” Then Circle rolled to the back bumper,
and called to Line atop Triangle –
“Line, lean down
until one of your ends
is under the car!”
And Line leaned down
angling one of his ends under the car
and the other up toward Square.
Circle scooted under the back Bumper,
and called to Square. “Now when I say go,
I want you to jump on Line.”

What is the visual effect of the excerpt?
The reader visualizes a scene of disarray that becomes orderly.
The reader visualizes an argument between the characters.
The reader visualizes variously sized and shaped parking spaces.
The reader visualizes a scene of geometric angles.

Returning from vietnam, we were given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. which sentence best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone? a. our feet were frozen in place as the street itself strained to hold us back. b. i felt unappreciated and condemned for actions i had thought were heroic. c. i hadn't expected to find myself in a rags-to-riches situation such as this. d. we had come home to a feeding frenzy and were being treated as bait.
