The Thornfield section is a kind of a trial for Jane, spiritual as much as carnal and sexual. Up until that point, she had never fallen in love. It happens to her now, but this love is not just another romantic love story. Her beloved is almost a ruffian, with violent fits and eccentric character - not at all handsome, but extremely passionate and therefore very sexual. Nevertheless, Jane senses a spiritual attachment to him, as her soulmate, which makes this relationship worth all the effort in her eyes.
On the other hand, Bronte juxtaposes the shiny, brilliant word of aristocratic, sensual bodies to the gloomy and stark spirituality of Jane Eyre. First of all, there is Rochester's story about his former mistress, Adele's mother, who was a beautiful, adulterous seductress. On the other hand, there is Rochester's noble company that he brings to Thornfield, particularly Blanche Ingram, who is also beautiful and apparently a very desirable match. She is Jane's absolute counterpart, and that is precisely why Rochester eventually casts her away to propose to Jane.
Here is how Jane sees her spiritual attachment to Rochester, observing him in the company of his noble friends:
"<span>He is not to them what he is to me," I thought: "he is not of their kind. I believe he is of mine;—I am sure he is,—I feel akin to him,—I understand the language of his countenance and movements: though rank and wealth sever us widely, I have something in my brain and heart, in my blood and nerves, that assimilates me mentally to him. […] I must, then, repeat continually that we are for ever sundered:—and yet, while I breathe and think I must love him."</span>
Answer:
Question 1: The central idea from the paragraph that is a reason that supports the claim “cheating exists because of incentive.” is Ranking is everything.
Question 2: The three sentences that present evidence to support the idea that “Ranking is everything.” are:
* “Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of his life.”
* “The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year.”
* “Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors.”
Explanation:
It is described in the paragraph that in Japan the ranking as a sumo fighter is extremely important since the rank that each wrestler achieves will determine either if they are meant to be served or to serve since Japan has a culture that goes around honor this is considered an important factor that leads competitors to cheat it goes beyond money.

Answer:
From the opening sentence, we understand that there are thirteen bubbles that floated in the milk.
The author described the bubbles as "transparent hemispheres gleamed like souvenirs of the summer days just past, rich with blue reflections of the sky and of shadowy greens".
The effect of the author's choice of words was that of imagery as it helped the readers to "see" the bubbles in their mind's eye with such clarity as it was so succinctly described.
The author further described John's actions as he used the spoon to scoop the milk and swallow it in such a way that suggested he was either very hungry or in a hurry.
"John Hawkins jabbed the bubble closest to him with his spoon,. . .there was no mark of where it had been"
This description had the effect of making the readers know how eager John was to consume the milk and how quickly the ripples vanished.
The readers can also infer that John consumed the milk in an aggressive manner because of the way he jabbed at the ripple closest to him in his effort to drink the milk.
