The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house. All that cold, cold, wet day. I sat there with Sally. We sat there, we two. And I said, “How I wish. We had something to do!” Too wet to go out. And too cold to play ball. So we sat in the house. We did nothing at all. So all we could do was to Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! And we did not like it. Not one little bit.

2: Excerpt from At Home in the Ocean by Rozanne Lanczak WilliamsThe ocean is big! It is big and blue as far as you can see. It is home to many plants and animals. The biggest animals in the ocean are blue whales. They eat little animals called krill. Many animals live in cold water. Brrr! Penguins swim fast! They flap their wings to zip, zip, zip in the water. Turtles swim far! They dig in the sand and lay eggs. Then they swim back to their ocean home.2

Which of the following best describes the characters feelings?

“(1) Luke Garner stood shoulder to shoulder with a dozen other boys, waiting. (2) It was six A.M., time for the daily inspection of all workers at Population Police headquarters, when all their uniforms had to be perfectly fitted, perfectly spotless, perfectly pressed; all their spines perfectly straight; all their expressions perfectly obedient. (3) But Luke and the boys beside him were stablehands, the lowest of the low, so even though they had to line up outside at six A.M., sometimes it was six thirty or even seven before the sergeant stalked down the row. (4) He’d peer at them suspiciously, assigning extra work any time he saw a wayward lock of hair, a wayward crease in a uniform, or even the suspicion of a smirk on a boy’s face.”
