Each moment I felt increasing upon me that dreadful doubt as to my own identity—as to the continuity of my past and present existence—which is the first sign of that distraction which comes on those who have lost themselves in the bush. I had fought against this feeling hitherto, and had conquered it; but the intense silence and gloom of this rocky wilderness were too much for me, and I felt that my power of collecting myself was beginning to be impaired.
I was becoming________
Complacent
Apprehensive
Innovative
Dispassionate

Emilio took the cap off his head, dropped the baseball bat, and rested his elbows on the fence. It wasn't
that he couldn't find the ball. It was sitting right in the middle of the lawn, just beyond the fence. The
fence was not very high either. Emilio could probably get a running start, grab the top of the fence, and
flip right over it. But there was a dog, a large Rottweiler with a spiked collar. He sat under an awning a
few feet away from the ball. He looked at Emilio and let out a menacing growl. Archie, Scotty, and
Dutch ran up to Emilio and surveyed the situation. Archie was the first to speak, "So, are you going to
do it, Emilio?"
What is the problem that Emilio is facing?
He did want to play baseball anymore.
He wanted to go home.
He was afraid the neighbors might come outside.
He wanted to get the ball but was afraid of the dog.

She was nearly out of breath but she kept running through the tall grass. "Nico, come on, boy! It's time

she stumbled over the leash that she was carrying, "Whoa… Come on Nico!" Erin shouted, regaining
her balance.

Son

"Argh!" Amber exclaimed as she pulled off her sweater and threw it into a multicolored pile of clothes.
She walked into her closet and swept her hand recklessly through the rows of hanging garments, her face
reflecting her dissatisfaction. She huffed and grabbed a silver dress. She held it up to the mirror against
her body for a moment, sighed, and then stepped into the dress. She gazed into the mirror, and then
scowled and threw her fists down in disappointment. She heard her mother's voice through the door,
"Amber, Scott's here. Are you almost ready?" Amber groaned, "OK, just tell him I'll be down in two
minutes!" She slid the silver dress back off and threw it onto the ever-growing multicolored pile of
clothes.
What problem is Amber having?
She does not want to go out on a date with Scott.
She is feeling sick.
She was having a hard time picking out something to wear.
She has homework to do and is not sure which class to start on.
