Answer:

Woody visits Papa’s family outside of Hiroshima nearly a year after the atomic bomb is dropped, and Toyo, his great-aunt, shows him a graveyard where the gravestones are tilted from the bomb blast. One member of the family has been lost, but Toyo does not want to talk about it. She explains that she has brought Woody to the graveyard to show him where his father was buried in 1913. Woody protests that his father is still alive and well in California, but Toyo explains that when the family had no word from him for nine years, they decided he was dead and placed a gravestone for him in the graveyard. She says her happiness at hearing that he is alive has erased the trauma that the war put her through.

Woody has been afraid to visit his father’s family in Hiroshima because he is an American Nisei and part of the occupying American army. Finally, however, he decides to go bearing a gift of fifty pounds of sugar, which is in short supply due to inflated black market prices. His family immediately sees past his American haircut and smile, and sees only that he is his father’s son. They accept him instantly and welcome his gift with only slight embarrassment. The family’s elegant country house is bare except for a few mats and an altar, but Toyo bears herself with dignity. They eat a special meal on nice porcelain, drink precious sake, and Woody sleeps under their finest bedding. He is proud to discover that Papa’s stories of his family’s nobility are true and imagines that Papa would be proud of how they received Woody.

Just as he is falling asleep, he feels a presence near him. It is Toyo, kneeling beside him and crying. She says he looks just like Papa, she and quickly leaves. Woody conjures up an image of Papa and is amazed at the resemblance between Papa and Toyo. In seeing her, he understands Papa’s pride and wishes he had asked Toyo about him. He decides to ask her the next day and to climb the hill Papa used to climb.

The nineteen year-old girl had just made her fourth score in her soccer game, the fourth goal winning the game. She looked over and saw her cousin applauding her from the sidelines, a present, which excited her, tucked under her arms.
After the game, the girl walked over to her cousin, took the present, and opened it. Inside was a beautiful necklace with a soccer ball as a pendant. It had a charm to it, the girl saw. Her cousin patted her on the back and congratulated her, grinning as he did so.
Later, the teenage girl sat at her computer, looking at the format with the new picture of the necklace she had just downloaded. She turned and saw the portrait of her parents on her bedroom wall. Then, she smiled. Turning back to the computer, she started to play a game. The goal was to merge two circles together by tapping rapidly. If you didn't merge the circles in time, they would squirt black ink in the player's face.
After getting bored with the game, the girl began her homework. She only had one vocabulary word left: Sermon. Getting stumped with the word, the girl made a verdict, or decision, to look up the word.
Turning on her phone, she saw that the screen was quite bleary. She silently cursed, but then took out her packet of homework and a pencil. At the top corner of the first page was an earthworm with a top hat, saying, "Learning is fun!"
The packet was on Mathematics, so the girl thought that she was never going to get it done. She had only recently learned, for about the thousandth time, angles. She already knew about acute, obtuse, and right angles, yet the teachers still force her to work on them. She didn't have a protractor at hand, so she couldn't do some of the questions. On the next page, a set of printed 3D shapes were placed on the paper. There was a cone picture, too, with only one vertex. Next to the cone were two congruent cubes.
After finishing the packet, the girl went to bed, very tired.

Review the sentence below. What is the correct meaning of the word "forte?" "Literary criticism is not your forte, my dear fello
enot [183]

The correct meaning of the word "forte" is, a person's strong suit.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The line ‘Literary criticism is not your forte, my dear fellow. Don't try it. You should leave that to [other] people’ is a part of the play ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ written by Oscar Wild. When the speaker says, ‘Literary criticism is not your forte’ he means that you’re not good at criticizing, so just don't try it. Forte refers to a person’s strong suit or characteristics at which he/she is good at. In simple words, forte means a skill or talent of a person.
