But we pulled at the grill (on the ground) and it gave way. And then we saw iron rings as steps leading down a shaft into a darkness without bottom.… It was a great tunnel. Its walls were hard and smooth to the touch; it felt like stone, but it was not stone. On the ground there were long thin tracks of iron, but it was not iron; it felt smooth and cold as glass. We knelt, and we crawled forward, our hand groping along the iron line to see where it would lead. But there was an unbroken night ahead.

Sorry thats not all the answers, I hope I was able to help.

1. He listens to himself more than to others.

There is no indication in the passage he wants to leave the reader. It specifically says that he distrusts people. Also, Huck listens to his "sense of logic" about helping Jim.

2. photograph

A photograph is a nonprint source. It is reference material that is not in written form. Graphic organizers, novels, and newspapers are all in written form.

3. a carnival

Typically carnivals have striped awnings, rides and a Ferris wheel.

4. They are subway or train tracks.

It says that the tracks are on the ground going down into the tunnel. They are compared to the smoothness of glass, but they're not actually glass.

5. using what you have read and what you already know to make a judgment about what something means

When making an inference a person must "read between the lines". The most common inferences people make are ones using body language and tone of voice.

6. an inference

This insight is an inference. An author's main idea and supporting detail should be directly stated in a work of nonfiction.

7. (There was no question)

8. sluggish

The context clue to help you determine the meaning is "don't want to move". This shows that the speaker is sluggish and lazy.

9. Something kept the roommate out late.

Since the roommate got home at 4 am, we know that the roommate wasn't sleeping. The sentence doesn't tell us if the roommate enjoys reading or is new.

10. a movie theater

The clues that tell us it's a movie theater is the detail about the line in the lobby and seeing the previews.
