The Lightning Thief: Chapter 18 Exit Ticket

Which piece of text evidence shows that Annabeth was nervous while on the barge?

• "Polluted," Charon said. "For thousands of years, you humans have been throwing in everything as you come across-hopes, dreams, wishes that never came true. Irresponsible waste management, if you ask me."

• Mist curled off the filthy water. Above us, almost lost in the gloom, was a ceiling of stalactites. Ahead, the far shore glimmered with greenish light, the color of poison.

• Panic closed up my throat. What was I doing here? These people around me ... they were dead.

• Annabeth grabbed hold of my hand. Under normal cir-cumstances, this would've embarrassed me, but I under-stood how she felt. She wanted reassurance that somebody else was alive on this boat.

Which piece of text evidence shows that Charon was persuaded to let the team into the Underworld?

• Always 'Please don't let me be dead' or 'Please let me across for free.'

• He sighed. "The boat's almost full, anyway. I might as well add you three and be off."

• I haven't had a pay raise in three thousand years. Do you imagine suits like this come cheap?"

• Charon glanced down at his silk Italian jacket, as if imagining himself in something even better. "I must say, lad, you're making some sense now. Just a little."

Which piece of text evidence shows that the Underworld has multiple paths?

• Grover said, "Imagine standing in a wheat field in Kansas. Forever."

• "The fast line must go straight to the Asphodel Fields," she said. "No contest. They don't want to risk judgment from the court, because it might go against them."

• The dead queued up in the three lines, two marked ATTENDANT ON DUTY, and one marked EZ DEATH. The EZ DEATH line was moving right along. The other two were crawling.

• Sometimes they decide on punishment. But most people, well, they just lived. Nothing special, good or bad. So they go to the Asphodel Fields."
