N76 [4]

Your question is missing a few elements. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the beginning of Divya’s personal narrative, “The Graduation Speech.”

“There’s no way I would ever volunteer to be our graduation speaker,” I snapped. Jill __________ surprised. “I don’t even like raising my hand in school,” I continued. “Why on earth would I put myself in a position to speak in front of our entire class?” She smiled knowingly. “I think you have a lot to say, Divya, and it’s time to finally let it out. You always give me great advice. Graduation is a major turning point, and everyone will be looking for a little advice and encouragement as they venture into the world. See? You __________ the perfect person to give this speech!”

Fill in the blanks in order.

A. seemed . . . . were

B. seems . . . . were

C. seemed . . . . are

D. seems . . . . are

Answer:

The correct answer is C. seemed... are

Explanation:

To complete these sentences, we need to look at the context and the verb tenses. Let's focus on the first one, "'...our graduation speaker,' I snapped. Jill __________ surprised." The blank is placed in the narrative part, not inside the dialog. The narrative is using verbs in the Simple Past tense, as we can see right before the blank with the verb "snapped". We can, therefore, eliminate options B and D because they use the verb "seem" in the Present. We are left with options A and C.

Now, for the second blank, "'I think you have a lot to say, Divya, and it’s time to finally let it out. You always give me great advice. [...] See? You __________ the perfect person to give this speech!'", we must notice it is placed inside the dialog. Jill is the one talking, and her verbs are in the Present tense. She is trying to convince Divya that she is perfect to give the speech. She is not talking about the past, but about a present state. Therefore, we can safely choose letter C to complete this blank.

The whole passage with the correct answers is:

“There’s no way I would ever volunteer to be our graduation speaker,” I snapped. Jill seemed surprised. “I don’t even like raising my hand in school,” I continued. “Why on earth would I put myself in a position to speak in front of our entire class?” She smiled knowingly. “I think you have a lot to say, Divya, and it’s time to finally let it out. You always give me great advice. Graduation is a major turning point, and everyone will be looking for a little advice and encouragement as they venture into the world. See? You are the perfect person to give this speech!”

lawyer [7]

One of the four major themes in Animal Farm is the way power corrupts those in control of a group. This corruption of power, brought to you by Napoleon, is putre selfishness. Napoleon misuses his authority as soon as Old Major dies and everybody is waiting for a leader. Instead of following Old Majors beliefs Napoleon manipulates the animals with the help of Squealer to get what he wants. He chases off kills or threatens anyone who questions his authority because he realizes how good power feels. He even goes against the rules he helped make for the farm to satisfy his own interests. The pigs do whatever they can to get ahead no matter who they hurt and no matter how badly. In animals farm we see an example of power corruption when "Napoleon announced there would be work on Sunday afternoons as well. This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half." This example shows us that Napoleon doesn't care if the animals get injured working more hours. If they want their rations they have to work longer than they agreed to. This is very unfair and is not in the best interest of the animals.
