Which statement in this excerpt from Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby shows that the author learned to have high expectations in life

only after he went to a football (soccer) game?
I'd been to public entertainments before, of course; I'd been to the cinema and the pantomime and to see my mother sing in the chorus of the White Horse Inn at the Town Hall. But that was different. The audiences I had hitherto been a part of had paid to have a good time and, though occasionally one might spot a fidgety child or a yawning adult, I hadn't ever noticed faces contorted by rage or despair or frustration. Entertainment as pain was an idea entirely new to me, and it seemed to be something I'd been waiting for.

It might not be too fanciful to suggest that it was an idea which shaped my life. I have always been accused of taking the things I love - football, of course, but also books and records - much too seriously, and I do feel a kind of anger when I hear a bad record, or when someone is lukewarm about a book that means a lot to me. Perhaps it was these desperate, bitter men in the West Stand at Arsenal who taught me how to get angry in this way; and perhaps it is why I earn some of my living as a critic - maybe it's those voices l can hear when I write.

<span>As for me, the third option C)I have always been accused of taking the things I love - football, of course, but also books and records - much too seriously, and I do feel a kind of anger when I hear a bad record, or when someone is lukewarm about a book that means a lot to me.) looks the most suitable and directly shows that the author learned to have high expectations in life only after he went to a

How does Bianca show self-respect in her reaction to Cassio’s request? How did this reaction contrast to the reactions of Desdem
makkiz [27]

Bianca contests Cassio's attitudes and orders, unlike Desdemona and Emilia who follow their husbands without question and ignore their own wishes.

<h3>Who is Bianca?</h3>
  • She is a character in "Othello."
  • She is a courtesan.
  • She is in love with Cassio.

Desdemona and Emilia are women who are very submissive to their husbands. They deny their own will to follow their husbands' orders and make sure they are satisfied. Bianca, on the other hand, behaves differently.

Bianca is in love with Cassio, one of her clients. However, she does not submit to his whims, but questions his orders and attitudes, even being able to determine the distance between them.
