Answer:
C. Jackie's journey to the Olympics began early in her life.
Explanation:
In the given passage, the narrator provides details or narration on the life of Jackie Joyner-Kersee. The transition from each paragraph provides the chronological details of the athlete's life.
Paragraph 2 is about the child Jackie and the start of her dream to compete in the Olympics. So, the best start to the paragraph will be to state how her journey began. The statement <em>"Jackie's journey to the Olympics began early in her life" </em>is the best start for the second paragraph.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Answer:
Defining relative clause
Explanation:
Defining relative clause are sentences used to display essential information from previously used sentences or terms, that is, these clauses are added in a text to increase the understanding of something that was previously presented. These clauses are usually separated from the rest of the text by commas, parentheses and even dashes.
In relation to the sentence above, we can see that the sentence "that demonstrated the effect of garlic on the cancer cells" is referring to and adding explanatory information to the term "The new research" written earlier. For this reason, we can consider it a defining relative clause.
As regards form we can say that "The narrow fellow in the grass" is a short poem of thirty-two lines divided into five stanzas. It starts and finishes with two balanced stanzas of four lines each, which surround a central stanza of eight
lines. On the other side "The Black Snake" is a poem written in free verse. You can find six quatrains with no rhyme scheme. Enjambment is used to continue the ideas from one line to the following.
Considering the meaning, what they have in common is that both poems are about humans and nature (represented by the snake) and life and death and the connections between them.

It's lines from Shelley's sonnet Ozymandias, and to make sense of it you need to put them in context. Here's the whole poem, with your lines in bold:
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
So, your first line is part of the words engraved on a pedestal, boasting about the great works of the king Ozymandias. But the boast is ironic, because the works have been destroyed by time: only two huge fight and the shattered face of what once must have been a statue remain. "Nothing beside remains", our narrator tells us - there's nothing else left.
And, round the decay of that huge wrecked statue, all there is is sand - metaphorically representing the sands of time, which has brought the mighty (in this sense, quite literally) to its knees.

Shelley, in these lines, is pointing out how the pride, egotism, and powerful feeling of immortality possessed by this ruler has turned to dust, and how "nothing beside remains" of his majestic kingdom and royalty. The monument to this leader sits in the middle of a desert, abandoned, forgotten, eroding away. However, during the king's time period, he probably felt that he was immortal and all-powerful, and hence had his statue inscribed with the ominious "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!" logo that was meant to emphasize his power.
But now the traveller is looking on all that is left of the ruler's works, and doesn't feel despair; rather, he feels pity, or nothing, as all that is left of the king's kingdom is the desert, "boundless and bare/The lone and level sands stretch far away".
