1. attention. If you took the "of" out piece would work better probably.
2. well I would use roof. It is a common expression in my vocabulary. Like Silver is going to go through the roof, meaning its price will rise.
I'm going to leave this. I'll come back in about an hour to edit it. These are all idiomatic expressions. The second choice might be just as good as the first choice, but it is not what is commonly used.
3. The expression is brand names. The expression makes no comment about quality of content.
4. Impression. You are expressing an opinion about the content of a show.
5. Short lived. That is just what the expression is. Other choices mean the same thing but they are not common usage.
6. eye, but the usual expression is lime light. Eye is the next best choice.
Answer:
The songs from the musical WERE written by a lyricist in another city.
Although none of these are completely correct, I'd choose D. to change tenses, an irregular verb has to change its spelling.
A is definitely incorrect - that is a rule about regular, rather than irregular verbs. B is also incorrect - there are no rules about irregular verbs so you have to learn them all by heart. C is incorrect because this is true for regular verbs as well, not just irregular.
This leaves us with D as the correct answer. Often, various forms of irregular verbs change more or less drastically. For example: see - saw - seen; ring - rang - rung, etc.
B. qtd. in
Let's say you were using an article from ESPN to write about the NCAA tournament. Coach Pitino is quoted as saying, "The tournament is rigged." If you only want to use Coach Pitino's quote, you need to use the indicator "qtd. in" as part of your citation since Bilas, the author of the article you are reading, did not actually say those lines himself. Pitino is being quoted in the article by Bilas. After the quote you would write (qtd. in Bilas).
