<span>Answer:
   Garrison talks about how he tried to set the slaves free and break the chain apart that was holding them captive. He gave the slaves courage that one day slavery will be over. One main criticism of Garrison is that he was trying to change the mind of the slave owners to release them from being captive. This was an important role in American history because he accomplished the end of slavery.</span>

William Lloyd Garrison was a famous abolitionist of the United States. In this stanza, the author discusses the things he has heard about this prominent historical figure.

The author says that many people believe William Lloyd Garrison was acting selfishly, and that he was only looking for personal fame. He also states that he has heard the abolitionist was rash and vain, which is most likely a criticism of Garrison's extremism. This is the main criticism of the poem, and suggests that Garrison was more extreme than most abolitionists of the time. Finally, the author says that Garrison is also known for making the African men of the country resolute, determined and brave in their pursuit of freedom.

Why does the author of passage 2 describe a student council meeting in the first paragraph? ​
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

skimming the passage, we’ll find “some critics” mentioned in the third sentence. Indeed, this sentence actually continues to advance Bigsby’s view mentioned in the previous sentence (that Hansberry’s work has “unintentional” irony” that the author seems to reject (stating that we should accept her irony as “deliberate social commentaries”). This third sentence continues to elaborate and broaden the critical view to other critics. The next sentence contains the words “for example,” so that must be the one, right?! Nope. This is the trap; the question specifically mentioned “examples” ad does this fourth sentence of the paragraph, but the “examples” need to refute this view, and the example in the fourth sentence is an example of the critical view the author disagreed with.

Explanation:

An important thing to keep in mind about the Reading Comprehension section of the GRE as we use PowerPrep online to study is that it is just that—reading comprehension. In other words, as difficult as it may seem, and it can be pretty tricky, the test makers will always give us all the information we need in the passage to answer the question. Select-in-passage questions, like number 8 on the second Verbal section of practice test 1, may look different than other questions, but they abide by the same rule.

Select-in-passage questions are unique to the GRE, but that shouldn’t scare us. In fact, a good thing about them is that we can approach each one the same way: we need to read the question carefully in order to find out what criteria our sentence needs to meet. Then, we need to search the passage for a sentence that fits that criteria—ok, admittedly this is sometimes more easily said than done, but we should keep in mind that our question may even give us extra clues as to where to look.

Summarize the plot of part one of King Arthur’s Socks.
gulaghasi [49]
The plot is rather simple, two people who are married to other people fall in love with each other and want to be together but can't because of their respective marriages. The entire play is just one part, or one act, and it's a comical version of the commonly understood Arthurian characters and cliches.
