ELA TEST PREP FINAL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was the sea eagle that called Emily down to the beach. It hovered above the waves, it's broad wings dusty where the land had left its mark, its small eyes that could follow the horizon bright and keen. She hadn't meant to come down onto the beach. She'd meant to sit at the top of the ramp till the other kids had left the street, till she could walk home from school in peace without strangers staring at her, but somehow the bird seemed to urge her to come down.

Which textual evidence best describes Emily's thoughts and feelings?

• "... sea eagle that called Emily..."

• "... till she could walk home from school in peace..."

• "... its broad wings dusty..."

• "... the bird seemed to urge her to come down."
