Read the excerpt from "Raymond's Run." And on the other side of the fence is Raymond with his
arms down to his side and the palms tucked up behind
him, running in his very own style, and it's the first time
I ever saw that and I almost stop to watch my brother
Raymond on his first run. But the white ribbon is
bouncing toward me and I tear past it, racing into the
distance till my feet with a mind of their own start
digging up footfuls of dirt and brake me short. Then all
the kids standing on the side pile on me, banging me
on the back and slapping my head with their May Day
programs, for I have won again and everybody on
Which text evidence best supports the idea that
Squeaky is running for more than just herself?
I almost stop to watch my brother Raymond on his
first run
O the white ribbon is bouncing toward me and I tear
past it
my feet with a mind of their own start digging up
footfuls of dirt
everybody on 151st Street can walk tall for another
year

The “big dig” the “big dig” (the central artery/tunnel project) has been complex and challenging. located in boston, massachusetts, this tunnel is eight lanes wide and three-and-a-half miles long. what is most amazing about this tunnel is that it is constructed under a major highway and skyscrapers located in boston’s financial district. construction crews used “clamshell excavators” during this dig. these machines carved narrow trenches, and then a special substance was pumped into the trench to keep the dirt from caving in. finally, steel beams were lowered into the trench and concrete was pumped in. one problem that engineers faced while constructing the tunnel is the fact that the soil beneath boston is extremely loose and soggy. engineers solved this dilemma by freezing the soil and pumping very cold water into pipes beneath the city. to strengthen the soil even further, a special type of glue was injected into the ground to with the consolidation of the soil. 23 which phrase best defines the word excavator as used in the passage? a. a device used to measure underground temperatures b. a device used to level uneven surfaces c. a device used to move heavy objects d. a device used to dig holes
