Okay, I've read over both questions a few times and I think I know the answers:
The first question would be "Taking" because everything else in that sentence points to a past tense except for the word "taking" which is a present tense thus meaning its inconsistent with the sentence.
The second question would be "After we moved to montana" because its why they had to build the log cabin.
I hope my answers are correct and I wish you luck on your test!
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>D</u>: Cedric Yamanaka.
Explanation:
This excerpt is from the short story <em>The Lemon Tree Billiard House</em>, written by Cedric Yamanaka.
In the excerpt, Mitch describes how he became cursed.
One day, he went to a beach house with his father, and he climbed some rocks. His father said to him that the rocks were sacred, so Mitch believed that he had been cursed, because of climbing it.
In this story, Cedric Yamanaka uses a typical Hawaiian dialect, which differs him from other writers.

Answer: Metaphor
Explanation:
A Metaphor helps describe a character or variable by relating it to another character or Variable that is seemly unrelated to it but bears certain characteristics to it for comparison sake.
It essentially says one thing is another so that the original thing can be understood better.
For example, "every family has a black sheep". It is not saying that every family will have a sheep which is black but rather saying that at least one member of each family behaves differently from the rest.
In the above extract from Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run", Squeaky who is Raymond's sister is using a metaphor to describe her brother's penchant for using the curb as a Circus clown uses a rope high in the air.
