Read the passage. [1] The morning air felt refreshing and the breeze was cool against my cheek. The sun smiled down from above as it warmed the Earth
and dried the last remaining dew drops on the grass. I cast a glance at the canoe next to the house and decided it would be a good day to go for a
row: the first row of the early spring.
[2] I went back to the house and phoned my friend Jimmy (Jimmy was always ready for an adventure). I told him about my plan, and he
readily agreed to participate. He said he'd ride his bike over to my house after breakfast.
[3] Once Jimmy arrived, we lifted the canoe over our heads and carried it down to the lake. It shimmered in the sunlight about 200 yards
from my house. It was a long trek to the water, but I could feel my arms strong under the weight of the canoe-much stronger than the previous
year. We reached the water and set down the canoe. We slipped off our sneakers, peeled off our socks, and pushed the canoe into the water.
Jimmy and I stepped into the water as quickly as we could (it was quite cold) and leapt into the boat. One push with our oars and we were off. The

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification

"when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
