Nikki was happy to visit the special park her mother had been telling her about. when they arrived, she could hardly believe her eyes. as she stood on the sidewalk in front of the entrance, she could barely see over the hedge that made a fence around the park. she could see the top of a red and white tent and the head of a dinosaur. she heard carousel music, the sounds of ducks, and children playing. nikki could smell popcorn, hot dogs, flowers, and fresh straw. the most exciting sight of all, however, was the huge hot-air balloon that swayed gently in the breeze just outside the park. it was tied down to stakes that had been hammered into the ground. it was the biggest balloon nikki had ever seen. she wanted to get closer to see inside the basket that hung from the balloon. it was tied to the balloon by large ropes. the man who sold balloon rides was reading his newspaper. nikki's mother walked over to talk to the man. nikki walked over to look at the basket. she had never seen a hot-air balloon up close. the basket had high sides. ropes went up from the basket to the balloon above. she got up on her toes to peek inside. to get a better look she pulled herself up on the edge of the basket, but lost her balance and toppled into the basket head first. nikki's mom continued to talk to the balloon ride operator as a breeze began to blow and the balloon began to rise into the air. nikki was sitting on the floor of the basket, where she found a leather bag. it was filled with tools balloonists can use to find their way. she found a map of the park, a compass, and a telescope. about that time, nikki felt the balloon begin to wobble. she looked over the side of the basket, and was amazed to see the ground so far below. the ropes that were supposed to keep the balloon in one place had come untied and were dangling below the balloon. she could now see into the park. a boat drifted toward the bridge, a flag waved in the breeze, children rode the horses on the caro

On november 17, 1968, football fans across the united states sat glued to their televisions. a close game between two top teams—the new york jets and the oakland raiders—was being broadcast. when the jets pulled ahead with only fifty seconds remaining, viewers went wild. but then, just as the raiders were bringing the ball across midfield, the game disappeared from the screen! in its place, a previously scheduled children's movie, heidi, started playing. callers flooded the tv network's phone lines, but it was too late. the raiders scored two touchdowns in the very final moments—touchdowns that were unseen by all but west coast viewers. as a result of the interrupted event, dubbed "the heidi game," television networks began delaying their regularly scheduled programs until football games had ended.

Kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.” how does the extended metaphor in paragraph 3 affect the mood of this passage? a-it creates a feeling of silliness that captures the absurd humor of the situation. b- it creates a sense of tranquility to match the feelings of min at this point. c-it creates a feeling of fear over what may happen if the kite crashes. d-it creates a sense of awe and wonder at min's mastery of the kite.
