Choose the best beginning sentence AND the best ending sentence for this essay. Shadow Fort My friends and I love it. We can hang out there, plan neat stuff, eat, and rest. Shadow Fort is my favorite place for lots of reasons. First of all, there’s plenty of room for a few kids. It’s large (gargantuan to me). The fort is 3 ft. 8 in. high, 5 ft. 3 in. long, and 3 ft. 6 in. wide. There’s a place in back (we call it the pantry) for crackers, grapefruit, avocadoes, potatoes, carrots, berries, and Spanish moss. The roof is made of 4-ft. palm leaves and smaller fronds. Second, this fort is the first structure I ever built, with the help of my friend Kevin. We built it during a light shower. It was only a few vines that tangled together to make a kind of cave that we could crawl under. We worked fast to put palm fronds and leaves over the vines. “Quick! Let’s get inside!” I shouted to Kevin. We got inside in the nick of time. It began to rain powerfully, and oh how the wind blew! But our fort kept us safe and dry. Later we named it Shadow Fort because it sits in a shady area. Also, Shadow Fort is my favorite place because it has everything we need. We keep food in the pantry, a small cot to sit on, and we even have a plywood door. When I’m there with my friends, I feel happy as a cat with cream!

I have my very own shadow fort.

As you can see, my friends and I always have the best time in my shadow fort!

The way to build a fort is to first gather all materials.

Maybe I can make a longer shadow fort next time.

My best friend's fort is better than mine.

Which detail does NOT match the setting like the rest of the text? It mesmerizes the eyes to gaze at the beautiful creatures that hover all over the beach and on the deep-sea waters. There are sights of beautiful birds that fly all over the snowy, iced over shore and over the sea waters. Their colored feathers brightened the sea with a marvelous appearance at their illumination by the sun’s rays. There are varieties of birds that are in the vicinity. For instance, there are pelicans and seagulls. Pelicans are seen hovering over the sand, singing sweet melodies that make the atmosphere at the beach vibrant. The seagulls are also observed to be flying over the seawater in small groups. Some of the birds are gathered in groups spreading the wings that cloaked a soft shadow on the gentle water ripples.

Which song lyric has a word that means "shines, twinkles, glitters, etc?"

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write

Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, jack frost nipping at your nose

I don't know just who
to blame for this catastrophe!
But my one wish on Christmas Eve
is as plain as it can be!
