Answer:
option B. Given the success of the Writing Center, it is curious to me that the proposal for a similar Mathematics Center has had such a lukewarm reception.
Explanation:
From the two paragraphs of the student's article given, it shows that the administration gives regards to the Writing Center because of its success but has failed to see that the proposed Mathematics Center will also be beneficial to the students as well.
The first paragraph states how the administration received the Writing Center which has an enormous benefit to students at the high school. It also states how the faculty in the English department credit the Writing Center with improved student planning and writing.
The second paragraph of the article, however, shows how the administration received the proposed Mathematics Center. The proposed Mathematics Center which would have a similar benefit and impact on students learning was received with an indifferent and uninterested approach by the administration, that is, the administration seems not interested in the proposal.
Answer:
Seen against the background of the millennia, the fall of the Roman Empire was so commonplace an event that it is almost surprising that so much ink has been spilled in the attempt to explain it. The Visigoths were merely one among the peoples who had been dislodged from the steppe in the usual fashion. They and others, unable to crack the defenses of Sasanian Persia or of the Roman Empire in the East (though it was a near thing), probed farther west and at length found the point of weakness they were seeking on the Alps and the Rhine. The complicated political relationship existing between France and England in the first half of the 14th century ultimately derived from the position of William the Conqueror, the first sovereign ruler of England who also held fiefs on the continent of Europe as a vassal of the French king. The natural alarm caused to the Capetian kings by their overmighty vassals, the dukes of Normandy, who were also kings of England, was greatly increased in the 1150s. Henry Plantagenet, already duke of Normandy (1150) and count of Anjou (1151), became not only duke of Aquitaine in 1152—by right of his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, recently divorced from Louis VII of France—but also king of England, as Henry II, in 1154. A fresh complication was introduced when Charles IV died on February 1, 1328, leaving no male heir. Since there existed at that time no definitive rule about the succession to the French crown in such circumstances, it was left to an assembly of magnates to decide who ought to be the new king. The two principal claimants were Edward III of England, who derived his claim through his mother, Isabella, sister of Charles IV, and Philip, count of Valois, son of Philip IV’s brother Charles.
Hmm...an easier way to find a theme of the story would be either scheming through the story looking for clues or facts or read it.
I hope this answer helps.

Explanation:
Literary Criticism provides lenses to conduct a close and in-depth reading of the text which would expand the thoughts and imagination of the readers. Literary criticism proposes different dimensions to the same text and unlocks the door for interpretations. It also influences the readers to break away from the conventional beliefs and perceptions regarding a particular text. It helps to read, understand and interpret literature in a better way and enhance the evaluative and critical skills. It is also called "practical criticism" and thus, provides an ability to interrogate which is considered as established facts and explore and express the shifts in sensibility to analyze literature. It is also beneficial to uncover the follies hidden behind certain fabricated ideas.
