Answer:
In Olen Steinhauer's bestseller The Tourist, reluctant CIA agent Milo Weaver uncovered a conspiracy linking the Chinese government to the highest reaches of the American intelligence community, including his own Department of Tourism - the most clandestine department in the Company. The shocking blowback arrived in the Hammett Award-winning The Nearest Exit when the Department of Tourism was almost completely wiped out as the result of an even more insidious plot.
Following on the heels of these two spectacular novels comes An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer's most stunning thriller yet. With only a handful of "tourists" - CIA-trained assassins - left, Weaver would like to move on and use this as an opportunity to regain a normal life, a life focused on his family. His former boss in the CIA, Alan Drummond, can't let it go. When Alan uses one of Milo's compromised aliases to travel to London and then disappears, calling all kinds of attention to his actions, Milo can't help but go in search of him.
Worse still, it's beginning to look as if Tourism's enemies are gearing up for a final, fatal blow.
With An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer, by far the best espionage writer in a generation, delivers a searing international thriller that will settle once and for all who is pulling the strings and who is being played.
Answer:
Option (3)
Explanation:
Memoirs are those writings by a person about his/ her own life experiences. It may or may not have a historical importance, but most of the memoirs like Elie Weisel's "Night" serves an important source of witness' accounts of the events that happened in the past.
Among the given sentences, the best example of a memoir is the chef writing "about his early cooking years in Germany and France". He himself is the writer, making it a personal account of his earlier days. Also, he wrote about his days as a young chef, writing about his experiences so as to provide an insight into what his life was before. The first option is not about the personal account of the king, the second being a student's personal views which are not valid for a memoir or anything memorable. The last option is a personal account but about an unimportant topic, a detailed description of bikes and their parts which cannot be deemed a memoir.
Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

Answer:
The adverb in the sentence is:
B. really
Explanation:
"Long", "quiet" and "loud" are not adverbs - they are adjectives. An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or a pronoun by attributing a quality to it. In this case, "loud" is modifying "noise", "long" is modifying "break", and "quiet" is modifying "time".
On the other hand, an adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. "Really" is modifying the adjective "loud", intensifying it. Therefore, "really" is the correct option.
