Answer:
1. Because she studied (a positive), but couldn't (a negative word), it means that you must use "but" or another word to describe it:
Lara studied several hours every night, but she couldn't earn higher than a B on the daily quizzes.
2. This is a run-on sentence, because it is best to separate both of them. However, if added together, there is need of a comma:
After Audie Murphy had proved himself a true hero in World War II, he became a hero of the silver screen in many actions films.
3. Again, this is a run-on sentence in which it would be best to separate both of the sentence fragments. However, since this is not an answer choice, it is best to separate using a comma:
The invention of the telescope led later astronomers to the discovery of countless celestial objects, yet it failed at the time to bring its inventor the recognition he was due.
4. He awoke from his nap while riding in the passenger seat of the car, Brian was surprised to discover that his father had driven several hundred miles.
"When he awoke from his nap" is a better choice, because while it describes the past, it should be put from a present-time view, which means that it must connect to the present-time from the past.

Answer:
B: Poetry communicates something authentic or real.
To provide comic relief is the correct choice. In these lines, what is basically happening is that old men are just itching to fight one another. Lady Capulet is the only one who seemingly acknowledges the fact that both of the heads of the houses are too old to fight with swords, and jokingly points out that "a sword? what you need is a crutch."
If you have read the entire play, this does not foreshadow the terrible tragedy of the fall of Romeo and Juliet. This is about Capulet and Montague, and neither end up dying or fighting each other with swords by the end of the play. This also does not tell you anything about the setting of the story, and from these lines, I would not even realize that they were simply at a party. This also does not help build much suspense, even though this looks like an acceptable answer because it is not building up to anything. Lady Capulet immediately shoots down his idea to fight Montague with his sword, and they never end up physically fighting later on.
If Curtis writes quickly for five minutes about music, without stopping and when he is finished, he will read what he has written and pick out one or moreinteresting ideas, then this means that he is using the technique known as A. freewriting.
