Read the passage:

Many different, delicious recipes for ice cream came with colonists as they navigated the oceans. The first recorded account of ice cream in the United States was in 1744. In a written letter, a guest of Maryland Governor William Bladen detailed a delicious frozen dessert featuring strawberries and milk. The invention of electricity and manufacturing meant that ice cream could be made and kept much more easily, and the popularity of the frozen treat grew quickly across the country.

Read the excerpt from “On the Mountain.”
That's when it happened. A three-hundred-year-old Douglas fir extended a root like a big, gnarled foot over the path and, not seeing the hazard, Jess fell right over it and landed hard on her knee. For a moment she just stayed there, blinking back the tears that threatened to fill her eyes.

Which statement best describes the imagery in the excerpt?

A.)Sensory details appeal to the reader’s sense of hearing.

B.) A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.

C.) A simile creates a visual image for the reader.

D.) Sensory details appeal to the reader’s sense of smell.

What is the imagery in the following passage?
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids, by Russell Freedman. But the journey was not yet over. Before they could be admitted to the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which became the nation's chief immigrant processing center in 1892. There they would be questioned and examined. Those who could not pass all the exams would be detained; some would be sent back to Europe. And so their arrival in America was filled with great anxiety. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as "Heartbreak Island." Which answer choice best paraphrases this excerpt? Ellis Island, the major processing center for immigrants in 1892, was called “Heartbreak Island” by the immigrants. If they failed to pass all the required examinations, they would be detained on the island, and perhaps even sent back to the country they came from. All in all, the process was frightening for an immigrant. Ellis Island was the main processing center for immigrants in 1892. There the immigrants were given exams and questioned by authorities. If they were not able to pass all the tests, they could be sent back to their homeland, or detained. Immigrants called Ellis Island “Heartbreak Island” for a reason. The United States government was unfair in the way it decided who could come into the country and who would be sent back to their native land. Instead of evaluating the immigrants so harshly, the officials should have been more welcoming. Before they could enter the United States, immigrants had to pass through Ellis Island, which was the country’s main processing center for immigrants in 1892. There they would be asked questions and tested. Those who could not pass all the tests would be kept on island; some would be sent back to their own country. Among the immigrants, Ellis Island was known as “Heartbreak Island.”

We were not regularly allowanced. Our food was coarse corn meal boiled. This was called MUSH. It was put into a large wooden tray or trough, and set down upon the ground. The children were then called, like so many pigs, and like so many pigs they would come and devour the mush; some with oyster-shells, others with pieces of shingle, some with naked hands, and none with spoons. He that ate fastest got most; he that was strongest secured the best place; and few left the trough satisfied.
