Excerpt from page 121
Virgil’s heart thundered in his ears. A tight knot collected in his chest and rose, rose,
rose until it pushed its way to his eyes, which pooled with tears.
“Gulliver?” he said.
The inky blackness gaped up at him, like the throat of a hungry beast. It smelled musty
and dank and deathly. But Gulliver was down there. He couldn’t leave Gulliver—not for a second.
In the passage, the author writes, “Virgil’s heart thundered in his ears.” What figurative language best fits this quote?

The Siete Partidas is a comprehensive Castilian law code intended to systematize legal, political, and social obligations in the kingdom. It includes detailed descriptions of feudal relationships.
“Vassals are obliged to honor their lords, to be loyal to them, and to guard them from harm. They must aid them in time of war and give counsel in time of peace, for these are the services that arise from the bond of homage. And the lord, for his part, must protect his vassals, defend their rights, and treat them with justice, for just as the vassal owes loyalty to his lord, so the lord must give loyalty and protection in return.
When a vassal receives land from his lord, he must render the services that belong to that land. And he is bound to speak truthfully in the lord’s court, to ride with him on campaign, and to help him uphold the honor of his house. The bond between lord and vassal is made for the good of both, and each must act so that neither is dishonored.”

B. A free peasant who works the land without owing service to anyone
C. A person in a lower position to a lord, serving them in exchange for protection and land
D. A Church official who leads religious services and supervises priests
C. A person in a lower position to a lord, serving them in exchange for protection and land

“Even the Saracens would have shown mercy, but these men who shared our faith acted worse than enemies. They destroyed homes, mocked the people, and turned sacred spaces into places of shame.”
