The bookshop sign was a tattered symbol of better days, dangling above the storefront by one corner like a monkey at the zoo. But Rose didn’t care as she pushed open the door, her heart pounding in her ears. Inside, she beheld a room so crammed with books, it was like the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian squished into a space the size of a living room. Stacks of volumes seemed to grow up from the floor like limestone stalagmites in a cave. Dwarfed by the piles of books and the towering shelves, Rose marched bravely up to the front counter and faced the clerk, who appeared annoyed. “If you please,” Rose asked politely, “do you have the book, The Lion Roars, by Penelope Puddle?” The clerk, who couldn’t have been more than 18 himself, peered down at Rose with an angry look on his face. “No!” he barked, scaring poor Rose so much, she backed into a stack of books, toppling the whole pile and triggering a swirling dust cloud. Rose picked herself up and dusted off her clothing, looking for a moment like she was ready to give up. Then she turned back to the clerk and asked in a voice so sweet you could’ve served it with tea, “Couldn’t you please check?” 3 Sensory language in this passage helps convey to the reader A. what Rose's home life was like. B. the atmosphere in the bookshop. C. what other businesses were nearby. D. what actions will likely occur next.

Which two parts of this excerpt from queen elizabeth i's "speech to the troops at tilbury" illustrate that the speech is a persuasive text? my loving people, we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but i assure you i do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. let tyrants fear, i have always so behaved myself that, under god, i have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore i am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my god, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. i know i have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but i have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of england too, and think foul scorn that parma or spain, or any prince of europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, i myself will take up arms, i myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. i know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. in the mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my god, of my kingdom, and of my people.
