When Heidi Transformed Televised Football
On November 17, 1968, football fans across the United States sat glued to their televisions. A close game between two top teams—the New York Jets and the Oakland Raiders—was being broadcast. When the Jets pulled ahead with only fifty seconds remaining, viewers went wild. But then, just as the Raiders were bringing the ball across midfield, the game disappeared from the screen! In its place, a previously scheduled children's movie, Heidi, started playing. Callers flooded the TV network's phone lines, but it was too late. The Raiders scored two touchdowns in the very final moments—touchdowns that were unseen by all but West Coast viewers. As a result of the interrupted event, dubbed "the Heidi game," television networks began delaying their regularly scheduled programs until football games had ended.
What is the main idea of this passage?
After Heidi interrupted a crucial moment during a televised football game, the TV network received numerous calls from angry viewers who were unable to watch the final moments of the game.

Milestones Warm Up 2 (d)
Selected-Response Read the paragraph from a student’s narrative. “Have fun on your field trip, Alma! You may want to pack an umbrella.” My dad’s last-minute advice repeated in my head. I wished I had taken his advice, but I never expected to encounter a drenching downpour of rain during the school hiking trip. Yet here I was, soaked to the bone and unable to see more than a few steps in front of me on the nature trail. For only a moment, I lost sight of the trail guide and my group, but it was enough time to make my stomach somersault with worry. Calmly, I stopped and peered intently through the wall of rain, straining to see someone ahead of me. I saw the orange vest of the guide. What a relief! I raced forward, and when I reached Josie in the back of the group, I grabbed her hand and vowed not to let go until the rain stopped. Which revision of the underlined sentence is the BEST way to add more sensory language to the paragraph? A. I noticed something orange, maybe the trail guide’s vest, moving ahead of me. B. Through the falling rain, I caught a glimpse of bright orange ahead of me. C. A little farther down the trail, I thought I recognized the trail guide wearing orange in the distance. D. Suddenly a flash appeared, and I realized it was the guide’s neon-orange vest glowing through the rain.
