The line in the excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's "The contest" which suggest that Emperor Nero was ruthless and the line is this one <span>“Quick, Policles, quick!” he cried. “My pony is tethered behind yonder grove. A grey he is, with red trappings. </span>Get you gone as hard as hoof will bear you, for if you are taken you will have no easy death.”
“No easy death! What mean you, Metas? Who is the fellow?”
<span>“Great Jupiter! did you not know? Where have you lived? <span>It is Nero the Emperor! Never would he pardon what you have said about his voice. </span>Quick, man, quick, or the guards will be at your heels!”</span>
Answer:
Volleyball
Explanation:
My favorite sport is volleyball. I love non-contact sports, because you get to play without having to come in contact with the other team. I especially love volleyball, because throughout the whole game, you get to switch positions. My favorite part is serving. It is an amazing feeling, when you're standing at the back line, and you toss the ball up and smack it as hard as you can over the net. Volleyball can also be played on the beach, which a lot of people enjoy more because you won't hurt your knees as much as you would if you were playing on a hard gym floor. A lot of schools and organizations offer co-ed volleyball teams, which allow both guys and girls to play on the same team. This can be beneficial because guys normally have a height advantage, and make great servers. The hardest part of playing volleyball is probably the tryouts. During tryouts, you must demonstrate several skills, such as: running, serving, spiking, passing, and diving. Be prepared, because if you don't have knee pads, you'll be in a lot of pain. If you're like me, and you love playing volleyball, you can start a game almost anywhere. Whether you're in the gym, at home, or at the beach. A game of volleyball can be started anywhere as long as you have a ball.

The balloon rocketed into the sky. Though we were frightened, everything ended up being fine.
- The word "quickly" can be removed because speed is implied with the word "rocketed"
- The phrase "into the really cold air" can be removed because it is irrelevant to what's happening. It can be replaced by "into the sky"
- Now "up" can be removed because "into the sky" implies that the balloon went upwards.
- Either the word "scared" or "frightened" can be removed because they're synonyms (I chose to remove "scared")
- "Because it was moving really fast" can be removed because the use of the word "rocketed" beforehand already implies that the balloon was moving fast.
- Lastly , I just reworded and conjoined some of the sentences to make them read more clearly though this isn't necessary. (I changed the third sentence from "However, it was all good in the end," to "everything ended up being fine." I also combined the second and third sentences, adding "though" in front of the second sentence to make it a dependent clause)
I'm pretty sure its A. were starting to think the cat had gotten your tongue
