2. To determine the meaning of the word "catalpa" in Line 27 of the poem "Almost Summer Sky" by Jacqueline Woodson, we can use context clues. The surrounding text mentions "maple" and "scotch pine" as other trees found "upstate." Since "catalpa" is mentioned alongside these trees, it is likely a species of tree. Therefore, the correct answer is B: a species of tree.

In the previous question, the context clue provided by the surrounding text is an explanation. The line states that "upstate they got maple and catalpa and scotch pine." This explanation helps us understand what types of trees are found "upstate." Therefore, the correct answer is C: explanation.

3. In order to identify how the poet uses personification to describe trees, we need to analyze the options provided.

7. To restate lines 3-5 of "The Snowstorm" by Ralph Waldo Emerson, beginning with "whited air," we need to determine the main idea conveyed in those lines.
