Select the correct text in the passage. Phillip and Dean had a good relationship in the past. Which sentence in the passage best

supports this statement? from May Day by F. Scott Fitzgerald At nine o'clock on the morning of the first of May, 1919, a young man spoke to the room clerk at the Biltmore Hotel, asking if Mr. Philip Dean were registered there, and if so, could he be connected with Mr. Dean's rooms. The inquirer was dressed in a well-cut, shabby suit. He was small, slender, and darkly handsome; his eyeswere framed above with unusually long eyelashes and below with the blue semicircle of ill health, this latter effect heightened by an unnatural glow which colored his face like a low, incessant fever. Mr. Dean was staying there. The young man was directed to a telephone at the side. After a second his connection was made; a sleepy voice hello'd from somewhere above. "Mr. Dean?"—this very eagerly-"It's Gordon, Phil. It's Gordon Sterrett. I'm down-stairs. I heard you were in New York and I had a hunch you'd be here." The sleepy voice became gradually enthusiastic. Well, how was Gordy, old boy! Well, he certainly was surprised and tickledi Would Gordy come right up, for Pete's sake! A few minutes later Philip Dean, dressed in blue silk pajamas, opened his door and the two young men greeted each other with a half-embarrassed exuberance. They were both about twenty-four, Yale graduates of the year before the war; but there the resemblance stopped abruptly. Dean was blond, ruddy, and rugged under his thin pajamas. Everything about him radiated fitness and bodily comfort. He smiled frequently, showing large and prominent teeth. "I was going to look you up," he cried enthusiastically. "I'm taking a couple of weeks off. If you'll sit down a sec I'll be right with you. Going to take a shower." As he vanished into the bathroom his visitor's dark eyes roved nervously around the room, resting for a moment on a great English travelling bag in the comer and on a family of thick silk shirts littered on the chairs amid impressive neckties and soft woollen socks. Gordon rose and picking up one of the shirts, gave it a minute examination. It was of very heavy silk, yellow, with a pale blue stripe-and there were nearly a dozen of them. He stared involuntarily at his own shirt-cuffs—they were ragged and linty at the edges and soiled to a faint gray. Dropping the silk shirt, he held his coat-sleeves down and worked the frayed shirt-cuffs up till they were out of sight. Then he went to the mirror and looked at himself with listless, unhappy interest. His tie, of former glory, was faded and thumb-creased-it served no longer to hide the jagged buttonholes of his collar. He thought, quite without amusement, that only three years before he had received a scattering vote in the senior elections at college for being the best-dressed man in his class.​

Which choice displays correct use of both parallel structure and commas? A) The following items were in the refrigerator: milk,
Stolb23 [73]

The correct sentence is (A). In this example the author stablishes a good parallel structure when he/she enumerates the items. Commas must not be used in an independent clause; in particular, before a verb (the comma before “were” is not correct as an example  B).

nadezda [96]

Answer:

I need more information to even know where to get started with this. What kind of art? Painting? Sculpture? Writing? Spoken word poetry? This is a very broad "thesis", and unfortunately I'm pretty sure it doesn't qualify as a thesis at all.
