Read the excerpt below from the novel Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling and answer the question that follow

s. A breeze ruffled the neat hedges of Privet Drive, which lay silent and tidy under the inky sky, the very last place you would expect astonishing things to happen. Harry Potter rolled over inside his blankets without waking up. One small hand closed on the letter beside him and he slept on, not knowing he was special, not knowing he was famous, not knowing he would be woken in a few hours' time by Mrs. Dursley's scream as she opened the front door to put out the milk bottles, nor that he would spend the next few weeks being prodded and pinched by his cousin Dudley. . . . He couldn't know that at this very moment, people meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter—the boy who lived!" Source: Rowling, J. K. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. New York: Scholastic Inc., 1997. 21. Print. The excerpt above is from page 21 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. Rowling. Which passage represents a correctly formatted quotation from the excerpt above?
A.)Harry Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle's house, unaware that his life has changed forever (Rowling 21).
B.)While Potter lies outside his aunt and uncle’s house, he “[sleeps] on, not knowing he [is] special” and praised all over the country (Rowling 21).
C.)A wind sweeps gently over the trimmed hedges of Privet Drive, which lies quiet and neat under the dark sky, not a place where one would expect anything out of the ordinary to occur (Rowling 21).
D.)The Harry Potter books are so entertaining because they paint a picture of a world in which we all want to live. We all long to find that extraordinary secret that will reveal our own special quality. Like little infant Potter waiting outside his aunt and uncle's house (Rowling 21), it's just a matter of time until we find that we are, after all, special.

Answer:

Primary boycott

Explanation:

Primary boycott is a form of  organized protest that is being done by cutting the flow of consumers toward a certain company. This is aimed to eliminate company's income until they're willing to have a conversation with the protesters.

This can be done by forcing the members of the group to stop purchasing a certain product, influence the public to purchase the company's product, or in a certain capacity physically prevented the customers from entering the business establishment (such as chaining themselves up in the company's front door)

The participants listen to classical or instrumental music in a quiet room
Lena [83]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.  

Read the text.

Did you know that you can manage stress and cure an illness with music? In some universities in the

United Kingdom (UK), professors offer their students the opportunity to lower their stress level by

listening to music or learning to play an instrument. It Works effectively because people who relax with

music before or after any activity feel better and they study happily. All the courses start in a quiet

environment. Participants listen to classical or instrumental music in a quiet room. Then, a lovely voice

says: “Breathe, and feel the music in your heart.” After this short meditation, students go to their

different classes; for example, guitar, piano lessons, or hip-hop. They learn about instruments and

music theory. Finally, students have the opportunity to compose songs and play in a band. As

Nietzsche said: “Without music, life would be a mistake.”

The participants listen to classical or instrumental music in a quiet room

How do you feel when you listen to music? Write about another cultural

expression that you enjoy and describe it

Answer:

Music not only helps me relax before and after studying but, even while studying, some instrumental music in the background helps me to better my concentration.

Explanation:

I also enjoy singing. Not only it allows me to relax between lessons, but it´s also a great way to vent frustrations, as choosing songs with lyrics that make me feel empowered gives me the impulse I need to keep working.
