Explanation:
For the past forty years Joan Didion has taken upon herself the task of explaining, or at least exposing, California to the New York literary world. She set her first novel, Run River (1963), written when she was twenty-eight, in her native Sacramento Valley, but her reputation as California diviner rests on her astonishing first two books of essays, Slouching Towards Bethlehem (1968) and The White Album (1979). At once romantic and jaundiced, elegiac and cold-eyed, her pieces largely defined the state—or, more accurately, the Central Valley and Los Angeles—for two generations of readers who came to see it through her eyes rather than their own. (The foreboding verging on existential angst with which Angeleno book-reading transplants from back east feel they must greet the coming of the Santa Ana winds in October is inexplicable absent the influence of Didion's essays "Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream" and "Los Angeles Notebook.") This native daughter mingled icy, matter-of-fact observation of lust and murder in the San Bernardino Valley and the less than savory aspects of the Summer of Love with lyrical descriptions of swimming the American River, which ran "clean and fast with melted Sierra snow until July"; of the first fall rains; of the Pacific off Malibu on winter mornings. Writing of James Jones's Hawaii, Didion said, "A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively ... loves it so radically that he remakes it in his image." Plainly, Didion's ambition was to do that with California, and few critics and readers believed she would fail to become one of the most important writers in the state's history.

Answer:
B. Pathos
Explanation:
Pathos is a concept brought by the Greek philosopher Aristotle which simply means "an appeal to emotion". This is usually used when a person ignores logic, in other to get a reaction from people by appealing to their emotion, which can either be anger, patriotism, loyalty, etc.
Therefore, from the given op-piece, (yes, it's imaginary) the writer from Detroit Lions' press office appeals to the emotions of the fans by urging them to support the team even as their form is bad, because they're loyal.
Answer:
There could be many reasons for this, but essentially it all comes down to test-taking-skills. While knowing the material is half the battle, you must also know strategies in taking exams, such as:
1. English comprehension
2. Process of elimination
3. Finding answers to questions within other questions
These are just a few of the things that may help you. There are entire online courses on test-taking-strategies, if you think that would help you. Otherwise, my advice is: don't give up.
