In Chapter XXII, Herbert Pocket told Pip that Estella "<em>has been brought up by Miss Havisham to wreak revenge on all the male sex</em>."

Answer:
skimming the passage, we’ll find “some critics” mentioned in the third sentence. Indeed, this sentence actually continues to advance Bigsby’s view mentioned in the previous sentence (that Hansberry’s work has “unintentional” irony” that the author seems to reject (stating that we should accept her irony as “deliberate social commentaries”). This third sentence continues to elaborate and broaden the critical view to other critics. The next sentence contains the words “for example,” so that must be the one, right?! Nope.

An important thing to keep in mind about the Reading Comprehension section of the GRE as we use PowerPrep online to study is that it is just that—reading comprehension. In other words, as difficult as it may seem, and it can be pretty tricky, the test makers will always give us all the information we need in the passage to answer the question. Select-in-passage questions, like number 8 on the second Verbal section of practice test 1, may look different than other questions, but they abide by the same rule.
Select-in-passage questions are unique to the GRE, but that shouldn’t scare us. In fact, a good thing about them is that we can approach each one the same way: we need to read the question carefully in order to find out what criteria our sentence needs to meet. Then, we need to search the passage for a sentence that fits that criteria—ok, admittedly this is sometimes more easily said than done, but we should keep in mind that our question may even give us extra clues as to where to look.
<span>Based on the contextual information provided about author Stephen Crane, the theme that the last sentence of this excerpt from his short story "The Open Boat" likely reflects is that <u>nature is indifferent to humans.
</u>Nature is, in this case, the tower which looms over the destiny of tiny ants, or humans, and it doesn't really care what happens to us - it exists regardless of the fact whether we are there or not to witness its glory.<u>
