Mr. Rodriguez thought that Constance and Silvia were joking when they
offered to turn his empty lot into a community garden.
“Besides, what will I get in return?” he asked them.
“The satisfaction of knowing that people in the neighborhood have a
beautiful place to come in nice weather,” answered Constance.
“And that they will be able to grow beautiful flowers and vegetables," added
Silvia.
"Well, I'll let you do it," said Mr. Rodriguez, “as long as you name the
garden after me."
Author's Purpose:

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.
