A creaking of the kind made by the weight carried by one foot after another along a wooden floor. I listened. I
felt the apertures of my ears distend with concentration. Again: the creaking. I was waiting for it, waiting to
hear if it indicated that feet were moving from room to room, coming up the passage-to my door. I have no
burglar bars, no gun under the pillow, but I have the same fears as people who do take these precautions,
and my windowpanes are thin as rime, could shatter like a wineglass. A woman was murdered (how do they
put it) in broad daylight in a house two blocks away, last year, and the fierce dogs who guarded an old
widower and his collection of antique clocks were strangled before he was knifed by a casual laborer he had
dismissed without pay

Iwill only mark brainliest if you get it correct. read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided. examine the diagram and text: you see water all around you every day as lakes, rivers, ice, rain and snow. there are also vast amounts of water that are unseen—water existing in the ground. and even though groundwater is unseen, it is moving below your feet right now. as part of the water cycle, groundwater is a major contributor to flow in many streams and rivers and has a strong influence on river and wetland habitats for plants and animals. people have been using groundwater for thousands of years and continue to use it today, largely for drinking water and irrigation. life on earth depends on groundwater just as it does on surface water. there are rivers flowing below our feet … a myth? have you ever heard that there are rivers of water flowing underground? do you think it’s true? actually, it is pretty much a myth. even though there are some caverns, lava, and ice tubes, and horizontal springs that can carry water, the vast majority of underground water occupies the space between rocks and subsurface material. some rivers, such as the alpha river in northern florida, usa, can disappear underground during low flow periods. generally, water underground is more like water in a sponge. it occupies the space is between soil and rock particles. at a certain depth below the land surface, the spaces between the soil and rock particles can be totally filled with water, resulting in an aquifer from which groundwater can be pumped into used by people. courtesy of the u. s. geological survey is there missing or extraneous information in this diagram? are all of the details in the text relevant and accurate? explain using details from the text.
