Which style of writing would most vividly describe a hard climb up a rocky mountain cliff in an adventure story? 1. Sarah studied the sheer. crumbling rock above her. There was a way! Her arms ached and her legs trembled as she began again,
testing each hand and foothold with care. How long until the top?

2. Sarah moved slowly up the mountainside. It took a long time to reach the top, but at last she made it. "Whew!" she said. "That was
hard."

3. Sarah had wondered whether she could make the top. The rock face, she knew, was tricky. But as it turned out, she found a way.
"Slow but sure wins the race." she said as she reached the top.

4. 7/5/80. Left base camp. 8:40 a. m. Followed trail to ledge below rock face. 10:30 a. m. Reached summit. 12:15 p. m.

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
