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.

How does the author best develop the central idea of the text "Show Me the Evidence"?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

C. by citing examples of Anas's evidence of corruption that led to companies and government agencies being held accountable.

Explanation:

"Anas Aremeyaw Anas" is an investigative journalist from Ghana. He primarily focuses his documentaries and print media regarding anti-corruption as well as human rights.

The central idea of the text, "Show Me the Evidence," best develops the author's idea by citing examples of Anas's evidence of corruption that led to companies and government agencies being held accountable. For example, he exposed the corruption of the officials of Ghana's passport agency in 2006. Non-citizens were given passports for a certain fee. In order to do this, he needed to pose as a rich businessman so he could fulfill his mission of showing how corrupt the officials were and this was the evidence.

So, this explains the answer.
