This question refers to the story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been" by Joyce Carol Oates.
For the most part, Connie is a typical teenager of her time in this story. We learn that Connie is worried about the things that most teenagers worry about. She is concerned about being beautiful, and well-liked by boys. However, there is some individuality to Connie as well. We learn that she is a lot more vain than most people, and she takes enormous pleasure in her beauty. We also learn that Connie is dishonest, and she adopts different attitudes and personalities at home and elsewhere. The combination of these characteristics make Connie an individual, three-dimensional character.
The setting is the place, location, time and etc. The setting could influence the characters to be a specific way. It's a key detail, and changing that detail could change the way the characters see, feel, or act. Often times, if the setting is changed, the entire story would be different. The plot also depends on the setting. Let's say you're in two different environments. A festive party, and a gloomy cemetery. Which one would you more likely hear laughter in? Which one with jokes? Sad weeping? Spooky noises? Which one would likely be a mystery about the death of a person? These are influenced by the setting.

A nun should be modest, had to have poverty, and pity. Chaucer describes the nun in the opposite way to show us, how the nun Prioress had all the characteristics that a nun should not have. She was a nun modest, well educated and with good manners.
Answer:
The above soliloquy shows Brutus contemplating what he should do about Ceasar. He knows that as a person, Ceasar alone isn't a bad person but he thinks that this kingship will ruin him. So, it is better to kill him before he is made king. This shows that he is more invested in the safety and the future of the people and is even ready to murder the king who is also his friend, for the sake of the nation. He is of a complex character but keeps the interest of the nation before anything else.
The correct option is option D ("Read the results section before you read the discussion section").
Taking a look at the results before you read the discussion section will allow you to form your own interpretation after analysing the content of the article <u>without being biased by what the author's conclusion was in light of the results</u>.
Here's my interpretatin of why the other options are wrong:
A) You should always start with the introduction and never with the abstract. <u>If you first read the abstract, you run the risk of becoming biased towards the author's perspective from the get go</u>.
B) & C) The discussion and conclusion sections should always be the last thing you read. <u>You need to understand the whole article by yourself and generate your own interpretation to be able to contrast it with the author's conclusion and other points of view expressed in the discussion</u>.
Hope this helps!
