Use the paragraph to answer the question.
All around the world, millions of people watch hundreds of new movies each year. Most people are aware that these movies have actors and actresses, directors, stunt doubles, and camera operators. But have you ever wondered how the crack of a bat in a baseball scene sounds so authentic even though the camera must be dozens of feet away?
Which word means the same as authentic as it is used in the paragraph?

Use the paragraph to answer the question.
You may not think earthquakes and volcanoes can go together, but they are unlikely friends, creating sensations under the earth’s surface. Most earthquakes occur because of the movement of tectonic plates previously described. Sometimes earthquakes happen below a volcano. This happens because magma, which is hot molten rock beneath the earth’s surface, pushes on rock until it breaks the rock and seeps into it. Then, the magma builds more pressure until it leaks more magma into the crack. Little earthquakes happen each time the rock breaks and lets in more magma. These little earthquakes are too small to feel. They are called harmonic tremors, perhaps because of their constant release of energy, like one long song played underground.
What does the analogy "they are called harmonic tremors, perhaps because of their constant release of energy, like one long song played underground" from the paragraph mean?

When little earthquakes occur, they make sounds similar to music.

The tremors from small earthquakes follow unpredictable patterns, unlike musical meter.

Much like background music, little earthquakes tremor underground without much notice.

The same amount of energy is released by music and small earthquakes.

text to text connections
Text-to-text connections refer to making connections between different texts, whether they are books, articles, poems, or any other form of written material. These connections can involve similarities in themes, characters, settings, or events, or they can involve comparing and contrasting different ideas or perspectives presented in the texts. Making text-to-text connections allows readers to deepen their understanding and make meaningful connections between different pieces of literature.
