Read the following introduction for a research paper on drama and answer the question. 1The Renaissance of the sixteenth and sev

enteenth centuries in England saw a great dramatic revival of the old Greek and Roman classics and a new interest in a native British drama. 2English playwrights seized the opportunity to combine the best of these two drama forms to create the Elizabethan and Jacobean drama, the best in English literature and possibly in the world (Schultz 88). 3Chief among these playwrights was William Shakespeare, the most respected playwright of all time. 4The theater of this period was quite popular. 5Though the actors were still all men, the masks had disappeared; and costumes, props, and sets had taken their place (McCredie 21). 6During the Renaissance, the theater began to come of age ("Renaissance" 4). 7Although drama had its ups and downs in the years that followed, it was at last firmly established as an acceptable and valuable form of literature.

Answer: The right answer is "take advantage of."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this context seize can be understood as to take advantage of something that is available - although seize also means take control of and grab. What English playwrights did was to take advantage of the fact that in the 16th and 17th centuries there was an interest in both old Greek and Roman classics and native British drama in England in order to create a new form of drama.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech "Solitude of Self" conveys that it is important for women to
Sonbull [250]

Answer: The education that will fit her to discharge the duties in the largest sphere of human usefulness will best fit her for whatever special work she may be compelled to do.

In this excerpt, Elizabeth Cady Stanton complains of the fact that women's education is determined by her relationships to other people as mothers, sisters, daughters and wives. This is true even when women do not fulfill these roles (for example, unmarried or childless women). This is different from the education of men, which is pursued by considering him an individual in his own right. She argues that, whatever work women decided to perform, their being educated would allow them to perform them in a much better way than if they were ignorant.
