only if this is for PLATO!!
Answer:
Choose the best option.
Explanation:
One day my father told me that I need to look for a new job because our spending at home is growing and we all need to work to help. I understood the situation, but at that moment I needed to practice hard for a new contest for a new band and instrument I play. I knew it was more important to get a job but my wish was to dedicate myself and be able to participate in a band even we still won't make money playing.
Circumstances : We had problems at home and although I had my own desire for something tertiary, I knew I needed to help with more income.
Outcome : I will lose the spot in the band although I will help my family.
Learned : I needed to understand to leave something that is less important in order to be able to help something that is happening at a particular time. My family and financial matters were more important than something else.
Of course I learned that I need to have patience for my desires, and that if the opportunity happens again in the future I will struggle to get it.
For the first question the best quote emphasising the power of his music would be “His songs were so sad that no human could bear to listen to them”. As in they moved people to the point it hurt them to listen, because his music was that powerful. The first and second answer choice are just saying he’s skilled but not necessarily that it’s powerful and then the last answer choice isn’t saying anything about the music just that he was singing.
The other one I’m not as sure of but I believe it would be showing the strength of his love for his wife, it could be the second one but I would say it wasn’t. The last answer choice is to literal and it can’t be comparing his life to a life without his wife’s love because it isn’t a simile or a metaphor which are for comparisons.
