Answer:
C) "I’m glad they’ll stop ringing the bells," I said.
Explanation:
In this line, we learn about the thoughts of a specific character. The excerpt tells us that the character in question is glad to know that "they" will stop ringing the bells. This passage comes from the book <em>Fever 1793</em> by Laurie Halse Anderson. It describes the events that took place within a family during the 1793 epidemic of yellow fever that took place in Philadelphia.
In a way, Marlowe's Dr. Faustus is both an epitome and a subversion of the Renaissance Man. Having broken free of the medieval rule of theology, he unleashed curiosity and wanted to learn more about the world. Dogma is still strong, but the urges and impulses to challenge it are even stronger. Just like protestants challenged traditional Catholic dogma, and Calvinists challenged Lutherans with the idea of predestination, Dr. Faustus challenges traditional human aspiration to be good, do good, and end up in heaven as a reward. He turns this notion upside down, presuming that there is no way he would be able to end up in heaven.
So, Dr. Faustus is an embodiment of curiosity gone wild. His blase attitude towards humanistic science is, however, some kind of a scientific decadence: he casts away philosophy and law, to embrace magic, as a relic of medieval obsession over mysticism. In this regard, he is a subversion of the Renaissance Man. He thinks he has already learned all there was to learn about this world, so now he yearns for another kind of knowledge - esoteric, otherworldly, knowledge that isn't exactly a knowledge because you don't have to study long and hard for it, you just have to sell your soul to Lucifer.
The Renaissance was torn between two concepts: of a scholar, turned to nature, the globe, the world, and of a religious person who still can't come to terms with the God and the church. Dr. Faustus transcends both of these concepts: he is a scholar who betrays his profession, and a religious person who devotes to Satan, believing (not knowing!) that he has no chance whatsoever to be forgiven for his sins.
In this regard, the play doesn't criticize or support the idea of the Renaissance Man. It simply tries to come to term with the philosophical issues and conflicts of its own time.

<span>I just read that soft drinks are really bad for you because they have 17 teaspoons of sugar in a single can.
If people who drink a lot of soft drinks cut out two cans a day, they could lose 25 pounds in a year.

<span>The combination of the sugar and the acid in soft drinks is also so bad because of the combination of the sugar and the acid in the soft drink. The mixture ruins the teeth and takes the enamel right off.

<span>People who eat a couple of candy bars and drink a couple of candy bars each day get more calories than they need without getting any of their needed nutrition.

The use of pauses can enhance meaning by providing a type of punctuation, emphasizing a point, or drawing attention to a key thought.
By serving as a form of punctuation, highlighting a point, calling attention to a notion, or giving listeners a minute to process what was said, pauses improve meaning. Many new speakers find pauses unsettling. Speaking with pauses can be effective; they are not always frowned upon.
A matter of habit, pronunciation errors. By serving as a form of punctuation, underscoring a point, or underlining an important idea, their use can improve meaning.

Answer:
C. "She should quote the second sentence directly, because it establishes important supporting evidence in a unique way."
Explanation:
I think this one is correct, however I am not positive, it's really just a guess. The first sentence is common knowledge and you shouldn't need to add what the readers already know if it's the main idea. The second sentence isn't necessarily common knowledge and should always be cited.
Hope this helped, let me know if it's right or not.
