Which of the following lines from "The Contest" best support that claim? ". . . but at the same time he understood that only a master of song could receive such a reception from a Greek audience." "Every Greek was a trained critic, and as unsparing in his hisses as he was lavish in his applause." "But now, as the man stopped and wiped the abundant sweat from his fat face, the whole assembly burst into a delirium of appreciation." "Soldiers ran to pull him down, and the whole audience was in confusion, some of the bolder cheering the sentiments of the shepherd, and others crying that he should be cast out of the building." "It was all simple and childlike, but it went to the hearts of the Olympians, for it spoke of the land which they knew and loved."

"Every Greek was a trained critic, and as unsparing in his hisses as he was lavish in his applause."

The line supports Doyle's claim that the Greeks took their cultural performances and art seriously and were good judges of art as it states, firstly, that every Greek is a trained critic, meaning that they are used to attending art performances. Secondly, it states that they are good and fair judges of art, as they are equally severe when they do not like a performance, as they are generous in appreciating a good act.

Read the passage.

Answer:

The correct answer is: It is made up of a rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd.

Explanation:

In this sonnet, Shakespeare describes chronicles which contain some beautiful descriptions of the past where he notice the beauty of the youth and the young man.

The syntax of the Sonnet 106 is characterised by a specific rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd, as we can see from the excerpt above. In this excerpt, the first line is rhyming with the third (<em>time </em>rhymes with <em>rhyme</em>), the second line rimes with the fourth (<em>wights </em>rhymes with <em>knights</em>), etc.

When in the chronicle of wasted <u>time</u>

I see descriptions of the fairest wights,

And beauty making beautiful old <u>rhyme</u>,

In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,

Then in the blazon of sweet beauty's <u>best</u>

Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,

I see their antique pen would have <u>express'd</u>

Even such a beauty as you master now.
