C is the answer, as the 'and' connecting to two ideas in the sentence doesn't negate or give connotations to his intentions like the other answers did.

Answer:

c) keith knew that it was his sister's birthday, and he didn't want to make a big deal about it.

Explanation:

We don´t know what does keith do not want to do a big deal about, it could be that it happened something bad to him at school, or that he is down because he broke up with his girlfriend, the sentence that better expresses with no negative or positive connotation, like saying that he didn´t want to make a big deal out of his sister´s birthday, is the third one, "keith knew that it was his sister's birthday, and he didn't want to make a big deal about it"

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.

What is the rhyme scheme of the second quatrain? in sonnet 100
charle [14.2K]

the rhyme scheme of the whole poem is <em>ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. </em>the second quatrain of sonnet 100:

Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem

In gentle numbers time so idly spent;

Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem

And gives thy pen both skill and argument.

^ this is <em>CDCD. </em>the first line of this quatrain, c, rhymes with the third line. so the third line is also c. the second line of it is called d, it rhymes with the fourth line so it's also d!
