Strong
In this excerpt hardy is describing soldier. The soldier is also described as brave and bloody. Since he is standing before the king after having just been in battle, we can assume that he is a strong fighter as he survived the fighting. When looking at the other choices, merciless seems too violent of a description to follow the word good. Also, obedient shouldn't be chosen because even though the soldier is obedient, loyal would be a more appropriate term. Difficult just doesn't fit at all.

A. "When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,"
B. "And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,"
<u>In these first lines, Shakespeare uses "forty winters" to call up the pain and cold of winter, just as if you were aging. Forty winters also means forty years. </u>"shall besiege thy brow" is referring to back in the day, when someone would dig a trench and wait, attacking continuously over a period of time (lay siege). <u>So he is comparing this youths brow, or forehead, to the wall of a castle being attacked over a period by time and old age. </u>
If you dig a trench in a field it will not look the same, even if you fill the dirt back in it will never look like it did once before. <u>Time, age, has dug trenches into "beauty's field" the beauty of youth, and that is something that will never return.</u>
Sorry this answer is late, but I'll put it here for anyone still looking.
In Raymond's run, a short story by Toni Cade Bambara, Squeaky feels she has disappointed her mother because she doesn't act like every other girl, squeaky was not a fan of the Mayday activities that other girls her age loved doing, she was more interested in running, she loved running, however, her mother wanted her to be like other girls, but squeaky was never going to be like other girls, she was proud of what she did, and she wanted to show everyone who she was.
She was a bit worried about the fact that her mother was disappointed in her, she was hurt and isolated, but when she found Gretchen and Raymond who were also runners, she became happy, and was no longer worried about acting like a girl.
The choices are:
Brutus and Cassius argue over bribes; it explains why Brutus is unwilling to trust Cassius, and why he insists upon marching to Philippi.
Brutus and Portia argue over the best way to kill Caesar; it shows that the roles for women in Roman society were quite limited.
Cassius argues with Brutus over the best military strategy; it demonstrates why Cassius would be a better leader than Brutus.
Antony states that Brutus was Rome's most noble man; it shows that Antony is a man of ambition who is no more fit to rule than Cassius or Caesar.
I think the answer is Brutus and Cassius argue over bribes; it explains why Brutus is unwilling to trust Cassius, and why he insists upon marching to Philippi.
