Which word or phrase in the passage helps the reader understand the meaning of the word "ejects"? Shooting Stars Have you ever looked up at the night sky and noticed a beautiful streak of light appear and then quickly disappear? People call this streak a shooting star. However, what you see is not a star at all. A shooting star may look like a ray of light, but it is actually a big lump of rock and metal known as a meteoroid. For over 1,000 million years, ever since the formation of stars and planets, these meteoroids have been revolving around the sun. A meteoroid travels at such an incredible speed that it begins to emit a hot red glow and ejects small particles of rocks that are burnt away. The tiny particles that it casts out trail behind and freeze instantly due to the extremely cold temperatures in space. This creates a beautiful shimmering tail behind the meteoroid. Often while revolving around the sun, the meteoroid comes close to the Earth and enters its atmosphere. The atmosphere changes the rock from red-hot to white-hot as it begins to crumble.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
