recreates ancient Rome and Greece. In the story, Doyle indicates that the Greeks took their cultural performances and art seriously and were good judges of art. 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."

I think it's the first one. Throughout the story we see Becky struggling with the idea that she might fail this time. Really she is making the possible outcome seem worse than it actually is (the outcome being that she could fail the test again), and Justin helps her calm down and realize that it really isn't that big of a deal if she doesn't pass.

2. To better capture the personality of the individual, the artist chose to
serious [3.7K]

In my opinion correct answer is nbr. 1 "pets and items..."  The artist can easily interpret several aspects of the individual's personality by observing these items that transmit likes and costumes, personal interests and pets that can speak, sometimes "loudly" about the personality of someone. Especially the way a person interacts with pets is one of the most valuable keys to reach the bottom of the soul that in some cases a person tries to hide.
