Question 3 • CMS 2026-2027 English II CREDIT RECOVERY

Which quotations from chapter 7 of Night convey an atmosphere of panic? Choose two correct answers.

Answer

“Here or elsewhere, what did it matter?”

“Suddenly, the evidence overwhelmed me: there was no longer any reason to live, any reason to fight.”

“Then, two ‘gravediggers’ grabbed him by the head and feet and threw him from the wagon, like a sack of flour.”

“Father! Father! Wake up. They’re going to throw you outside.”

“And I started to hit him harder and harder.”

Explanation

D conveys panic through the urgent warning, “Wake up,” as the speaker fears his father will be thrown from the wagon. E conveys panic through the escalating action of hitting his father “harder and harder.” The other quotations express despair, resignation, or a grim description rather than the immediate alarm and frantic action that create an atmosphere of panic.
