Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman
Which is an example of paraphrasing the excerpt?
Immigrants usually crossed the Atlantic as steerage
passengers. Reached by steep, slippery stairways, the
steerage lay deep down in the hold of the ship. It was
occupied by passengers paying the lowest fare.
Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-
smelling compartments. They slept in narrow punks
stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges,
and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles
was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship
company. Because steerage conditions were crowded
and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as
possible up on deck.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.
