Read the excerpt from We Shall Not Be Moved.
How would a careful rereading of this excerpt help a reader
understand the "League" mentioned in the first sentence?
The League, like Local 25, had expected a turnout of four or
five thousand. They were bowled over by this army, utterly
unprepared for it. They had organized strikes in the garment
trade, small ones, usually confined to a single shop, but
never before had they undertaken something on so vast a
scale. They might fail, might be laughed at by the whole of
New York as well as John Dyche and the ILGWU men, and
all the same they knew this was the challenge they'd been
hoping for their chance to show the world they were more
han highbrow butters-in, just as the shirtwaist makers were
more than irresponsible little girls.
The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the word "bowled" in the second sentence to
conclude that they are a bowling team.
The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and "shirtwaist makers" in the last sentence to
realize they are the same group of women.
The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the third sentence, which explains that they
"organized strikes in the garment trade."
The reader could make the connection between the
"League" and the "ILGWU men" in the last sentence to
note that they are both parts of the same group.

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.
