This question is missing the options. I've found the compete question online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales.

"Gentlemen” said he, "I take pains to preach In churches with a lofty, resonant voice, Regular as a bell I ring it out, For everything I say I have by heart: My text’s the same one as it always was . . .”

A. He is an intellectual who is inspired by academics.

B. He is a confident, suave performer.

C. He is a heartless, vindictive leader.

D. He is a caring counselor who is devoted to service.

Answer:

The statement which best describes how the Pardoner is characterized in this passage is:

B. He is a confident, suave performer.

Explanation:

In this passage, the Pardoner does not come off as an intellectual. He does not mention or seem to be inspired by academics. He also does not sound vindictive, angry, or heartless in any manner. However, he does not sound caring either. His words ooze confidence. He speaks of himself and the way he preaches with the highest regard. It's as if he is praising and admiring himself: his effort, his memory, his oratory. We can safely choose letter B as the best option, thus: He is a confident, suave performer.

Answer:

( B ) He is a confident, suave performer.

Explanation:

Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales. "Gentlemen" said he, "I take pains to preach  In churches with a lofty, resonant voice,

Which of the following shows strong characterization?
A. Ben was always fearless. He had been skydiving many times and was never scared. He bravely fought for his country without a moment’s hesitation. When his plane lost an engine he never lost his cool and brought it down safely. However, when he heard that his wife might be sick, he was scared.
B. Alex was still unconscious. He still had no idea that in the night someone broke into his home. Then they went on to drug him, toss him into the back of a truck. He was unaware that the truck sped down the highway all the way to Washington, DC and to the White House. And he certainly did not know that when they wake him up, that he will be their only hope.
C. Parker had a lot of pets. He had a cat, a dog, a snake, a horse, and three birds. These pets did not always get along. There were many times where someone would call and complain about the sounds from Parker’s home. The hardest part was figuring out if they should send the police or animal control.
D. Kyle walked around the empty apartment. It was once full of so much life, but now it was just an empty shell waiting for someone else to move in. He took one last look around at the bare white walls, the ugly tan carpets, and the broken outlet that never got fixed, before walking out the door, never to see the place again.

Passage 1
"Big data" is becoming a buzz word of the 21st century. Technically, big data refers to a data set that is too large to analyze. Colloquially, big data refers to the ever-increasing amount of personal information that is collected by computers. Computers monitor and record our online habits, what we buy at the grocery store, our medical and educational records, and even our location. This glut of information has many screaming about privacy concerns. However, sensible protections can be put into place that will unlock the power of big data and positively transform our economy, science, and society.

Passage 2
The casual acceptance of the collection of personal data is one of the most troubling trends of the information age. Proponents of big data argue that the benefits outweigh the potential risks, and that proper regulation of the use of data can adequately control the dangers. However, it is very unlikely that we will be able to identify the right ways to regulate the use of data and to persuade the global community to agree on these regulations. Even if we could, what group or agency has the power to monitor the entirety of the Internet? It is far wiser to take immediate steps to limit the collection of personal data now.

Reread the last sentence of Passage 1:
However, sensible protections can be put into place that will unlock the power of big data and positively transform our economy, science, and society.
How would the author of

Passage 2 most effectively respond to the ideas in the last sentence?


A.  by explaining that too many businesses already rely on the collection of big data

B.  by pointing out that data has already transformed our economy, science, and society

C.  by protesting that it is unfair to collect information from people without their knowledge

D.  by claiming that it is not practical to expect protections to be put into place and enforced

E.  I don't know.

Select the correct answer. My mom is always repeating the same old joke: if your friends all jumped off a cliff, would you jump, too? Of course not. But I get what she means. She's talking about peer pressure. Teenagers like us live with it every day. Pretty much every kid wants to be liked, to have friends, to be popular. No one wants people to think they aren't cool. While peer pressure is tough, giving in to it and getting in trouble is tougher. But teenagers are still learning to make good decisions. Like this one time my friend Harold wanted to take his dad's prized Jeep Grand Cherokee for a drive. Harold was 13, and he'd never driven a car before. But he figured he knew enough about operating a motor vehicle just by watching his parents drive. When his parents were out of town one weekend, Harold invited me and some of our friends over to his house so he could take us for a drive. I said, "Not me," because I knew it was a stupid thing to do. I told him and everybody else what I thought of the idea. (Driving isn't easy. It took my big brother weeks to get the hang of it.) Harold got mad and told me I was being a chicken. I said, "I'd rather be a chicken than get in an accident and have a broken leg." What is the topic of this passage? A. Harold B. being popular C. peer pressure D. learning to drive

n “The Beginnings of the Maasai,” the daughter of the Maasai explains the relationship between the Maasai and their sky god Enkai. She explains how a volcanic eruption sent Enkai and the cattle into the sky. In order to save the cattle, Enkai created a giant tree that allowed them to walk back to earth. Then, Enkai entrusted Neiterkob, the narrator’s father, and his tribe to care for the cattle. As a result, the cattle are sacred to the Maasai, and the Maasai maintain a close connection with Enkai. Is this an effective summary of the story? a.Yes, because it includes key ideas from the beginning, middle, and end, and it explains the conflict and the resolution. b.Yes, because it focuses on the details from the beginning, the obstacles from the middle, and the resolution from the end. c.No, because it is uses too many specific names from the beginning, middle, and end, and it has a vague resolution. d.No, because it leaves out details from the beginning, the obstacles from the middle, and the resolution from the end.
