Author: Shel Silverstein
four lines: “There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
Why I chose this poem: I think that Shel,is a very talented author. Shel is very funny and smart. He makes up poems that people can relate to.
Fig. lang: Metaphor. He is exaggerating the brightness of the sun as it is 'burning'. He is also exaggerating the 'look' of the sun to crimson.
B. Consequently.
The transitional word that best fills the blank is
“consequently.” When we look at the excerpt from the passage you
provided, we can see two sentences. The second sentence seems to be a
result of the first sentence. With that in mind, of the possible
transitional words, we need to find the word that most closely means “as
a result” as this will give us the best transition to use. The word
that means “as a result” (even though it has a negative connotation) is
“consequently.”
Answer:
The correct answer to this is chronological order
Explanation:
Chronological is the sequence of events in accordance with how they have occured.
The emphasis is that the series of events must be arranged in order of occurrence,otherwise the chronological order is uttered and the events could no longer be said to be chronologically arranged.
In the example,the TV viewer needs to sit first,then pick up the remote where it was kept the last time before switching the TV set and lastly he or she can tune to the desired channel as per preferences.

Answer:
Based on word choice, Giblin feels:
B. that it was worthwhile.
Explanation:
We can easily eliminate options A and C, since there is nothing conveying a negative connotation in the excerpt. We are left with options B and D.
Let's take a look at option D first. It says Giblin thinks the process of obtaining copies of the stone was amazing. However, that is not what the word choice conveys. Had there been words such as "fantastic" or "incredible" in the excerpt, this option would have made sense. But that is not the case.
<u>Option B is the only correct one. The excerpt uses words such as "fortunately", "good", and "clear". Those words convey the idea that the process the French used was worthwhile. It not only worked, but worked well, effectively.</u>
