Sti'Tumma had always wanted to have beautiful beaded "shooflies" attached to her saddle, on the breastplate and under the horse's tummy on the cinch. She had already made a couple for her favorite bridle! The shooflies were made from a small amount of horsehair being folded in half, wrapped with buckskin, and beadwork put over the buckskin. The shoofly would then be clipped onto the favorite spot selected by each rider. So when the horses had their tails cleaned, the hair was saved for Sti'Tumma who then went to work to make herself some beautiful and colorful shooflies. Sometimes Gilly, Sti'Tumma's sister, would do the beadwork on a dozen shooflies at a time for the trail guides. The shooflies would move with the horse and keep some of the flies from settling on the horse! From which point of view is this passage written? A. It shifts from third person to second person. B. First person C. Third person D. Second person

Icicles are pretty sights during the wintertime because they hang like ornaments. They dangle up high in places, like house roof tops, buildings, and trees. Because of this, icicles are dangerous to be around. When the sun comes out and melts the ice, the icicles can fall down. This can severely injure anyone who is found below. In addition, if too much ice forms around an object, such as a tree branch, the ice can cause it to break. Therefore, it is best to be careful when walking under them.
