Hi there! I'm glad I was able to help you!
"You can hear a wolf howl, a bird sing, but you can't hear a heart break."
This quote is kind of literal.
You can hear a wolf howl, and you can definitely hear a bird sing, but if you accidentally hurt a close friend or family member and they don't want you to know about it, they try to hide it. They might be hiding it because they don't want YOU to feel bad. Hence the "you can't hear a heart break" part of the quote.
I hope this helped you! Leave a comment below if I can assist with anything else! :)

I always get "The Primary Purpose of this passage is to?" wrong on Reading Comp. I'm guessing this is hurting my score as it seems like a simple questions and I always get it wrong.
Any idea on how to nail this??? I started taking notes during the section and it helps. I know what the passage is about, but trying to stick it into one of those GMAT choices is difficult. Suggestions?

Main Idea/Primary Purpose Questions:
Many people believe there is no difference between the main or central idea of the passage and the primary purpose of the author of the passage. This is simply not true. Let's take a look at the subtle but important difference between them:
Main Idea
The question might look something like this:
"Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following most accurately states the main idea of the passage?"
"Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?"
"The main topic of the passage is...."
Primary Purpose
The question might look like this:
"The primary purpose of this passage is to..."
"The primary purpose of the passage as a whole is to..."
"The primary focus of this passage is on which of the following?"
"The main concern of the passage is to..."
"In the passage, the author is primarily interested in...."
"The passage is chiefly concerned with..."

Answer: Intelligence or cleverness.
Penelope displays intelligence, or cleverness, when she decides to organize the contest. She knows that this is the best way to ensure she does not have to marry anyone else, as only her husband could win such a contest. Penelope's cleverness is similar to that of Odysseus. He is another character that displays this trait throughout the text.

<h3>What is an adverbial prepositional phrase?</h3>
A prepositional phrase that modifies a verb is referred to as an adverbial or adverb prepositional phrase. Because adverbs change verbs, the phrase is said to be acting adverbially when it affects the verb. Two instances of adverb prepositional expressions are given below: Example 1: "The dog excitedly sprung up."
It should be noted that in the scenario that's illustrated, the phrase that's illustrated has an effect on the adverb. In this case, it gives it an additional meaning.
