Answer:
A (the first answer)
Explanation:
The main idea of this paragraph is that the students attending schools with mandatory uniform policies experience less pressure than do students who
must choose their wardrobes. So, the author is FOR mandatory uniform policies
With this information, we want evidence that supports the main idea.
Option B is just a statement that explains how if parents want to exempt their children from uniforms, they need to talk to the administration.
Option C is just a statistic that states the number of students that had uniforms.
And Option D is, again, just a statement that doesn't support the main idea.
So the correct answer is A.
Irving Washington's short story is about the guests of a host who are going to spend the night in host's home. They are going to spend the night at different rooms and one of the rooms is haunted as host indicates it. The narrator tells the story from this room he has meant for. There is a picture which fills him with the horror of feelings and antipathy. When it's revealed that this narrator has seen the ghost, he tells the story of this picture and first the gentlemen make the fun out of it. However, later it is unraveled by host that the picture indeed was haunted. Options B and C describes narrator's feelings in the room. Option A is the description of the night at breakfast. The correct answer is D when the narrator tells the story and everybody laughs.
Wait I think you didn’t finish your assignment
I can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news.
I believe we have here an example of situational irony.
Irony is found in the contrast between expected outcomes and what actually happens. The narrator wanted to spend the time on the beach, not in the hotel room watching local TV. However, the reality was such that now the narrator "can give a minute-by-minute summary of the local Hawaiian news".
That's why I think this particular sentence matches the style of the passage.
The imagery is “the sun shone brightly on them half the day” because its giving a better idea of what whatever they are talking about is like in the day
