From Saving Species: Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles
Every summer, Padre Island National Seashore's turtle team inventories Kemp's ridley sea turtle nests in the park's sandy beaches along the
Gulf of Mexico. The eggs are carefully dug up and incubated at a park lab away from human disruptions and natural predators. Under the watchful
eye of Donna Shaver, Ph. D., chief of sea turtle science and recovery, thousands of turtle babies are hatched and released, often cheered on by
doring crowds as they make their slow crawl to the sea. After five years of record nesting, Shaver says the park's plan to restore the endangered
Kemp's ridley is working: turtles hatched from eggs transplanted from Mexico, as part of an international recovery effort and released 10-15 years
ago are coming back to the park to lay their own eggs. They are even being joined by "wild stock"—turtles that were not hatched as part of the
recovery efforts-making Padre Island National Seashore the most prolific Kemp's ridley nesting beach in the U. S.
(from "Saving Species: Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles by the U. S. National Park Service)

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
