Hey there! The answer would be D because the paragraph is talking in past tense about the author until this point. It should be "female authors were not respected" instead of are. Hope this helped! :)

The ending rhymes are:
ago
sea
know
Lee
thought
me
You assign the letter A to the word at the end of the first line, and then each different rhyme moves to the next letter of the alphabet. You assign the same letter to lines that rhyme.
Line 1, "ago" gets an A and since Line 3 "know" rhymes with that, it also gets an A.
Line 2 "sea" does not rhyme with line 1 so it gets a B. The following lines 4 and 6 "Lee" and "me" rhyme with line 2 so they also get Bs.
Line 5 "thought" does not rhyme with anything in the lines above it, so that is why it gets a C.
The correct answer is D. Flammable.
Flammable is a synonym for combustible and combustible basically means easily flammable, easy to explode.
Answer:
The question "What is happiness?" is an essential question.
Explanation:
Essential questions are questions that are, well, essential. Essential questions are not supposed to be easy to answer, are often classified as "deep", and are usually going to provoke thought.
While the question "Did the ancient Romans eat pasta?" does seem essential, it is easy to answer, which does not make it an essential question. The question "How many gallons of water are in the Pacific Ocean?" and "How does photosynthesis produce oxygen?" could be classified as essential questions, but they are not essential questions as they are trivial questions (trivial questions are of little importance and usually look like like "How tall is Michael Jordan?" and "How many feet are in a acre?").
