The correct answer is D. I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a disposition not uncongenial with my own.

Explanation:

Exposition is a literary device mainly used to provide to the reader background information of the characters, events and other elements, which is usually used at the beginning of the narrative, in this way, the exposition contextualizes the reader and help him to understand the events, character, and others that will be developed in the story. In this case, "I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a disposition not uncongenial with my own" is an example of exposition as it tells the reader previous information that is related to the events presented in the story but occurred before the main events told in the story, as when the story begins the main character has been married for some considerable time, also, it helps the reader know the relationship between the main character and his wife, contextualizing the characters and previous events.

Aleks04 [339]

The main idea of the biography is that Dorothy deserves credit as a pioneer for her accomplishments at NASA. The sentence that confirms this is:

“…Vaughan was both a respected mathematician and NASA's first African-American manager.”

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Dorothy Vaughan's biography wants to show why she was a scientist and someone so important to American society.
  • In addition to having contributed a lot to the work of NASA, Vaughan was a pioneer in that institution.
  • That's because, NASA was an institution dominated by white people, who had more access to higher education and administrative positions.
  • However, Dorothy Vaughan became the first African-American manager that NASA had, in addition to being one of the first women to occupy this position, which makes her a pioneer.

As the central idea of a text is the main subject that the text intends to address, we can affirm that Dorothy Vaughan's pioneering spirit is the central idea of her biography.

In "The Nose," Ivan Jakovlevitch, a simple barber, finds a committee-man's nose in his bread. Based on this event, what might Go
MakcuM [25]
Jakovlevitch is not so much astounded by the fact that he found a nose in a baked roll as he is frightened by the fact that it is a familiar nose, and an official one - belonging to the Collegiate Assessor Kovalev. So, this is a nose with a rank - not high enough to please its owner, but higher than Jakovlevitch's modest social position. Jakovlevitch is afraid: he must have cut off the nose while he was drunk!

Gogol uses the nose to satirize obsessions of Russian society with rank and social status. Kovalev himself is apparently unsatisfied with his status as a civil servant (and that is all he cares about). So, when he sees his nose in a uniform which implies a higher status, he doesn't know what to do, how to behave. He acts as a sycophant. "'How, even so, am I to approach it?' Kovalev reflected. 'Everything about it, uniform, hat, and all, seems to show that it is a State Councilor now. Only the devil knows what is to be done!' He started to cough in the Nose's vicinity, but the Nose did not change its position for a single moment."
