During the crossing, she stood at the bow, salt spray flecking her jacket. The city had taught her to move fast, to talk loud, to never look anyone in the eye too long. The island demanded the opposite. It demanded patience. It demanded stillness. She wasn’t sure she had any stillness left.
Here’s a proper, ready-to-use text for an , including a sample reading passage and questions styled after the Alberta English 20-2 curriculum (focusing on understanding, interpretation, and personal response).

The remaining answer is usually the correct one, even if it feels "awkward."
