Alice was not scared. Not at all. Maybe a lele bit. But she was determined to confront the ghost in her house. Alice lived in a farmhouse but in 1921. All of the floors and doors were original the doors even had skeleton key locks. But by far the most terrifying part of the house was the basement. She kept that door locked and ignored the thum crashes, and cries that came from below the house. What made Alice determined to confront the ghost today was the especially loud crash the previous night. She'd gotten no sleep, convinced the ghost was going to break through the door and do something horrible. What she was sure, but the ghost would do something Alice had seen the ghost, but what he could be making loud noise in an old house? The one time she had been down in the basement was aher buying the house unseen. Once she saw the shelves with old glass jars, she was a de put off. But what made her keep the door shut and locked was the abrupt end of the concrete floor halfway across the room Because nothing good ever happened in a basement with a diet for Alice had seen enough horror movies to know that Ace stared at the basement door, trying to gather enough confidence to open it and march down the stairs like she owned the place. Because she did-or she would, once she finished paying her morgage in 30 years. Alice took a deep breath and yanked the door open. She marched down the stairs, only to stop abruptly at the bottom. Because she was face to face with not a ghost at all it was a calice-cat one who looked utterly unimpressed by her brave journey into the basement   Which of the following is misleading information that Alice uses to support her argument that the house is "terrifying?

A. The doors and floors are original to the home

B. The doors have skeleton key locks

C. The basement has a dirt floor

D. There are glass jars on the shelves in the basement

Answer Explanation:

C. The misleading information that Alice uses to support her argument that the house is "terrifying" is "The basement has a dirt floor." This information is not actually accurate because Alice later discovers a cat in the basement, not a dirt floor.

Choice B, skeleton door locks, can be categorized as terrifying.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

His map showed all the original marshes and waterways of Manhattan Even today, engineers rely on his work to determine still conditions and any underground water that sows through a building site, potentially undermining foundations.    Which of the following pieces of evidence from the text supports the conclusion that Viele's work had an impact on the development of Manhattan Island?

The piece of evidence from the text that supports the conclusion that Viele's work had an impact on the development of Manhattan Island is: "Builders must analyze potential sites for stability, which affects the building type and zoning options." This evidence indicates that Viele's map, which helps determine soil conditions and underground water, influences the decision-making process for builders and, by extension, the development of Manhattan Island.
