Read the passage. I had only been a detective for a few months when I was hired to investigate a very odd case. Traveling across

town, I soon found myself walking down a dim, dingy street, looking for the law offices of one “L. Creighton, Esq.” Entering the office, a very calm, well-dressed gentleman warmly greeted us. I was surprised to find the office spacious, neat, and clean. Somehow, I had expected to see a cramped, untidy, and dismal space. What did the detective expect to see in the offices of the accountant? a mysterious doctor a large and prosperous office a dangerous warehouse a small, unclean office

The right answer is "a small and unclean office ".

The answer to this question expounds, literally in the text. The excerpt that shows this is:  <em>" I was surprised to find the office spacious, neat, and clean. Somehow, I had expected to see a cramped, untidy, and dismal space."</em>

Basically, the character is surprised to find a clean, spacious and tidy place, because he expected exactly the opposite, that is, a small, dirty and untidy desk.

. Read the following passage from "The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband."
Korvikt [17]
I believe the best answer for this is that the tailor's wife is irritated at the couple for disproving her theories. She is frustrated that she cannot figure out why they are a couple, and once she reaches an acceptable conclusion, it is disproven when Mrs. Tall becomes pregnant. This can only serve to exacerbate the tailor's wife's irritation and frustration. You can also determine that this is the answer through the process of elimination, as none of the other answers really seem suitable. I hope this helps.

Read this excerpt about Elizabeth Van Lew from The Dark
umka21 [38]

Answer:

The correct answers are A and B.

A)  It states how Van Lew acted as an important leader and manager at a time when women were generally discouraged from taking on those roles.

B)  It shows that Van Lew was dedicated to a cause outside of her family and worked hard for her beliefs.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, the author develops two main ideas.

First, the author explains that Elizabeth Van Lew was a spymaster who was running a great network agents, couries and safe houses during the world war, which was not a common role for women in 19th century. She indeed played as an important leader and role model for women.

Secondly, the author suggests that Elizabeth Van Lew dedicated her life to being the leader because she believed in this cause. She even used her house for the duty and went past the family limitations which restricted the most women in that age.
