Question 8( Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) (MC)
Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following question
Marcus manages to flag down a vehicle and they get more than they bargained for...
It was a military-looking Jeep, like an armored Hummer, only it didn't have any military insignia on it The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and I jumped back and lost my balance and
ended up on the road. I felt the doors open near me, and then saw a confusion of booted feet moving close by I looked up and saw a bunch of military-looking guys in coveralls, holding big,
bulky rifles and wearing hooded gas masks with tinted face-plates
I barely had time to register them before those rifles were pointed at me. I'd never looked down the barrel of a gun before, but everything you ve heard about the experience is true You
freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears. I opened my mouth, then shut it, then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me
The faceless, eyeless armed man above me kept his gun very level. I didn't even breathe Van was screaming something and Jolu was shouting and I looked at them for a second and that
was when someone put a coarse sack over my head and cinched it tight around my windpipe, so quick and so fiercely I barely had time to gasp before it was locked on me I was pushed
roughly but dispassionately onto my stomach and something went twice around my wrists and then tightened up as well, feeling like baling wire and biting cruelly I cried out and my own
voice was muffled by the hood
Which line best shows the conflict in the passage?
The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and I jumped back and lost my balance
I barely had time to register them before those nifles were pointed at me
Van was screaming something and Jolu was shouting
I cried out and my own voice was muffled by the hood

The “big dig” the “big dig” (the central artery/tunnel project) has been complex and challenging. located in boston, massachusetts, this tunnel is eight lanes wide and three-and-a-half miles long. what is most amazing about this tunnel is that it is constructed under a major highway and skyscrapers located in boston’s financial district. construction crews used “clamshell excavators” during this dig. these machines carved narrow trenches, and then a special substance was pumped into the trench to keep the dirt from caving in. finally, steel beams were lowered into the trench and concrete was pumped in. one problem that engineers faced while constructing the tunnel is the fact that the soil beneath boston is extremely loose and soggy. engineers solved this dilemma by freezing the soil and pumping very cold water into pipes beneath the city. to strengthen the soil even further, a special type of glue was injected into the ground to with the consolidation of the soil. 23 which phrase best defines the word excavator as used in the passage? a. a device used to measure underground temperatures b. a device used to level uneven surfaces c. a device used to move heavy objects d. a device used to dig holes
