The Wife of Bath begins her description of her two “bad” husbands. Her fourth husband, whom she married when still young, was a reveler, and he had a “paramour,” or mistress (454). Remembering her wild youth, she becomes wistful as she describes the dancing and singing in which she and her fourth husband used to indulge. Her nostalgia reminds her of how old she has become, but she says that she pays her loss of beauty no mind. She will try to be merry, for, though she has lost her “flour,” she will try to sell the “bran” that remains. Realizing that she has digressed, she returns to the story of her fourth husband. She confesses that she was his purgatory on Earth, always trying to make him jealous. He died while she was on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Here is the story. We give you enough ideas and sentences so you can add your own.

We are in mid-March, and most Athletic teams in college football are about to begin their spring practice period. Some teams in the South started in February.

Although we are still living n Pandemic times, most colleges have taken proper precautions to have a "more normal" day-to-day living on campus.

And that is good. Getting back to normal makes people feel good.

Personal contact is necessary. We are humans and are social creatures.

So after a good and intense winter period of working at the gym, teams are ready to start practicing in the field.

Each football team has 15 formal practices on the field. The NCCA, which is the official league at the college level, limits the number of practices held by each team because it is interested in the safety of the players. Furthermore, they are students first, athletes second. So their priority is to take of academics first.

Of those 15 above-mentioned practices, not all of them are in full pads.

No. Just half of them are, and not all of them allow full contact. Again. It is for the protection and safety of the players.

At the end of this spring practice period, the team hosts a scrimmage. It is an open-door scrimmage in its stadium on campus. Fans, students, and media are welcome to attend. This is the way teams close their preparation period before summer. That is the reason why this scrimmage or Spring Game is so important. Coaches evaluate their players based on their performance on game day.

For fans and students, this scrimmage is a traditional festivity. Tickets are free, and before the scrimmage and after it, students and fans organize some parties and activities to support the team spirit on campus, and sponsorships are invited too to have a marketing presence in these activities.

Coaches cannot coach the players in field activities or team periods. NCCA regulations prohibit it. So during the summer, players go back to their homes. The ones that prefer to stay on campus, can lift weights at the gym and do track and field activities on their own.

Meanwhile, coaches spend most of their days recruiting or in the office, watching the film, and grading players' performance. That is the daily routine in June and July. Most of them have their vacation period during these two months, and most of them decide to go to the beach or the mountain to spend some quality time with their families because they know that, once the season starts in September, there are no days off until the end of December if the team makes the play offs or if the team is invited to a Bowl game.

Read the passage.

kolezko [41]

The correct answer is A.

In this passage, the author creates suspense by describing a mysterious physical situation that could be a deadly trap. He is close to the edge of a large pit, so close that much of his head is hanging off the side. Poe creates suspense by the fact that the narrator close to the edge of a very deep pit.

Unpleasant details add to the sensory impact of the excerpt, but not its suspense. Furthermore, the narrator is confused in this excerpt, but not really fearful. He doesn't know enough about his current sitatuation to be afraid. Finally, the narrator becomes very quickly aware of the danger he's in -- he quickly realizes most of his head is hanging off the edge of the pit, a great danger indeed.

Therefore, Poe creates suspense by describing a mysterious physical situation that could be a deadly trap for the narrator.
