This question is missing the answer options. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

1. piquancy; savior faire; preclusion.

2. magnanimous; querulous; punctilious.

3. sinecure; amenity; magnanimity.

Answer:

1. The news anchor of the morning show is famous for his facial expressions and the piquancy of his quick wit.

2. Sheena is famous for speaking in a querulous manner when she doesn't get exactly what she wants.

3. The new housing complex near the highway has every amenity a resident could ask for.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must first understand the context given in each sentence. Only then can we choose the appropriate word according to its meaning.

<u>1. The wit of the anchor is being complimented in an interesting way. This is similar to the way we would compliment a sarcastic but funny person. With that in mind, we can choose piquancy as the best option. This word suggests spiciness, be it literal or figurative.</u>

<u>2. The context refers to when Sheena does not get what she wants, which already leads us to assume she is not happy about it. In that case, we can choose querulous, which means "pettish" or "waspish". Sheena most likely complains when things don't go her way.</u>

<u>3. This sentence refers to housing and what residents can expect. The best word is amenity, which refers to services or to the infrastructure of the place. Examples would be a covered parking lot or a fitness room in a building.</u>

Which one of these lines uses iambic pentameter
Katyanochek1 [597]
Iambic pentameter is fives sets of iambs, or one unstressed followed by one stressed.

The only choice that matches that description is option A. 
The others all start with a stressed syllable, so they can not be iambs.

Hope this helps =)

Write an essay of 400-450 words on the following topic: broken dreams​
blsea [12.9K]
A Broken Dream Deep inside the heart of every human being lives a dream so all consuming that the person would go to almost any length to achieve it. In the novel The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby has an ambition that completely consumes every inch of his being. It drives him to such extremes that he becomes a slave to his lust for success. The story begins with Nick Carraway, a Midwesterner now living on Long Island, who finds himself fascinated by the mysterious and extravagent lifestyle of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. As the story unfolds Nick must watch as Gatsby gives up his identity to see that his lifelong dream of success is fulfilled. The key to Gatsby’s success lies buried in the heart of the woman that he loves and absolutely obsesses over, Mrs. Daisy Buchanan. Daisy is a married woman and mother who is extremely shallow and materialistic. Yet, somehow she has managed to capture Gatsby’s devotion. Fitzgerald uses many symbols to show the evolution and weight of Gatsby’s dream, however, the most prominent is a green light stationed on the end of Daisy’s dock that lies directly across a bay from Gatsby’s mansion. This light started as a dream and ended in a failure to let go of the past. Fitzgerald uses the green light to portray the evolution of the hopes and dreams of Jay Gatsby as he trys to do the impossible, relive the past. Jay Gatsby was a man with a lot of things, however, the one thing he didn’t have was the thing he desired most. The heart of Daisy Buchanan, his ex lover. Gatsby was not wealthy enough to marry Daisy when they first met He got into bootlegging to make a quick buck but wasn't fast enough. Daisyhad married another man while he made his millions. So, Gatsby’s unrequited love landed him in West Egg New York, across the bay from the object of his obsession’s beautiful mansion.
