The author is making fun of her voice and says he hears music that sounded better but that he loves her even of that small flaw of hers. does that make sense?

Answer: I don't know if this is a multiple-choice question or not, but the humor device that these lines are using is sarcasm.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that these lines are featured in Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. In this satirical and sarcastic sonnet, the speaker is describing what her mistress is not, and what she does not have, by comparing her "lacking" physiognomy to beautiful things—the sun, coral, gold wires, roses, perfume, a pleasant sound, and so on. In these lines, he is specifically saying that even though he loves to hear her speak, he knows, and he knows it very well, that music has a far more pleasant sound, and he is also saying that he has never seen a goddess walk, making the reader believe that he considers her a goddess, just to conclude by saying that she is obviously not one, since when she walks she literally crushes the ground!

Read the sentence below about the Chicago fire of 1871. Many people tried very hard to save the building of the Chicago Tribune.
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The revision which is the best example of adding concrete detail is:

Claire Innes was separated from the people around her during the fire and she later found them near the same place they were separated.

The other options do not apply because the original sentence does not talk about Claire Innes' parents or family

Claire Innes became separated from her parents as the flames spread through the city, and she later found them.

In the panic, Claire Innes was separated from her family as they fled, and she was reunited with her father after the fire was extinguished.

In the panic, Claire Innes became separated from her brothers and sisters during the fire and she later found them after the fire was put out.
