Question 2 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

Read the passage.From the mountain’s summit, we could see the storm clouds building in the distance, boiling upward, light gray at first, then blanketing the distant sky in a cloak of ominous darkness. The first lightning strike bolted from the clouds to the ground in a blue flash, followed by the thunder’s reverberating reply.

Answer
A
wise
B
humorous
C
poetic
D
skeptical

Explanation

The passage uses vivid, imaginative descriptions to create a dramatic scene. Phrases such as “boiling upward,” “a cloak of ominous darkness,” and thunder’s “reverberating reply” make the writing poetic rather than wise, humorous, or skeptical. The best answer is C, poetic.
