"close at hand is a bridge over the river thames, an admirable vantage ground for us
to make a survey. the river flows beneath; barges pass, laden with timber, bursting
with corn; there on one side are the domes and spires of the city; on the other,
westminster and the houses of parliament. it is a place to stand on by the hour,
dreaming. but not now. now we are pressed for time. now we are here to consider
facts; now we must fix our eyes upon the procession - the procession of the sons of
educated men."
according to the passage, the author chooses the setting of the bridge because it
a) provides a good view of the procession of the sons of educated men.
b) is symbolic of the legacy of past and present sons of educated men.
c) is within sight of historic episodes to which she alludes.
d) is conducive to a mood of fanciful reflection.

Returning from vietnam, we were given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. which sentence best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone? a. our feet were frozen in place as the street itself strained to hold us back. b. i felt unappreciated and condemned for actions i had thought were heroic. c. i hadn't expected to find myself in a rags-to-riches situation such as this. d. we had come home to a feeding frenzy and were being treated as bait.
