The year 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the solomon r. guggenheim museum in new york city. the museum was built as a place to display abstract art, and the architect of the museum was frank lloyd wright, america’s most famous architect. fifty years later, the museum is still a singular icon in a city considered by most to be america’s most artistic city. wright died at the age of 92, six months before the guggenheim opened. he had spent the last 16 years of his life working on the spectacular museum.
the guggenheim museum is one of wright’s most recognizable works. it is shaped as the upper two-thirds of an ice cream cone with a spiral groove running downward from the top. the spiral is a part of the building’s construction. inside the museum, the spiral takes the form of a ramp running from the top of the building to the bottom. guests walk around and around, downward, looking at art hung along the walls all the while. wright’s goal was for guests to view art and simultaneously see where they were going and where they’d come from.
on the 50th anniversary of the guggenheim museum, art lovers can take a moment to pause and think about two icons: the museum itself and its creator. rarely has a building been so controversial and so popular. the impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern art on view at the guggenheim truly has one of the world's greatest homes for artwork.

which sentence from the second paragraph supports the paragraph's main idea that "the guggenheim museum is one of wright's most recognizable works"?

a. "inside the museum, the spiral takes the form of a ramp running from the top of the building to the bottom."

b. "wright's goal was for guests to view art and simultaneously see where they were going and where they'd come from."

c. "it is shaped as the upper two-thirds of an ice cream cone with a spiral groove running downward from the top."

d. "guests walk around and around, downward, looking at art hung along the walls all the while."

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
