Which inference is best supported by the passage below: Mr. Ratignolle was one of those men who are called the salt of the earth. His cheerfulness was unbounded, and it was matched by his goodness of heart, his broad charity, and common sense. He and his wife spoke English with an accent which was only discernible through its un-English emphasis and a certain carefulness and deliberation. Edna's husband spoke English with no accent whatever. The Ratignolles understood each other perfectly. If ever the fusion of two human beings into one has been accomplished on this sphere it was surely in their union. As Edna seated herself at table with them she thought, "Better a dinner of herbs," though it did not take her long to discover that it was no dinner of herbs, but a delicious repast, simple, choice, and in every way satisfying. a)There was considerable social pressure in New Orleans at the time to speak English. b) Edna can’t help but compare the Ratignolles’ blissful marriage to her own. c) The Ratignolles’ marriage has never had any problems or strife. d) French cuisine is widely considered to be among the finest in the world.

Answer:

4

Explanation:

As Edna seated herself at table with them she thought, "Better a dinner of herbs," though it did not take her long to discover that it was no dinner of herbs, but a delicious repast, simple, choice, and in every way satisfying.

The inference that is best supported by the passage is: "Edna can’t help but compare the Ratignolles’  blissful marriage to her own." Option B is correct.

Mr. Ratignolle is characterized in the chapter as having many admirable traits and being a "salt of the earth." It has been said that Mr. and Mrs. Ratignolle's union is a perfect merging of two people into one. When Edna joins them at the table, she makes comparisons between their union and her own.

This suggests that she envies them and is unhappy in her marriage since she cannot experience the same degree of fulfillment.

Thus, the correct option is B.

02:38:52 Read the excerpt from Animal Farm. In the long pasture, not far from the farm buildings, there was a small knoll which was the highest point on the farm. After surveying the ground, Snowball declared that this was just the place for a windmill, which could be made to operate a dynamo and supply the farm with electrical power. This would light the stalls and warm them in winter, and would also run a circular saw, a chaff-cutter, a mangel-slicer, and an electric milking machine. The animals had never heard of anything of this kind before (for the farm was an old-fashioned one and had only the most primitive machinery), and they listened in astonishment while Snowball conjured up pictures of fantastic machines which would do their work for them while they grazed at their ease in the fields or improved their minds with reading and conversation. According to this passage, how would the electricity produced by the windmill most affect the animals? Select two options. They would not have to learn about farming. They would have a beautiful view atop the knoll. They would have machines laboring for them. They would not have to walk as far to get to work. They would have more leisure time to themselves.

Read the passage from Animal Farm. They had just finished singing it for the third time when Squealer, attended by two dogs, approached them with the air of having something important to say. He announced that, by a special decree of Comrade Napoleon, "Beasts of England" had been abolished. From now onwards it was forbidden to sing it. The animals were taken aback. "Why?" cried Muriel. "It's no longer needed, comrade," said Squealer stiffly. "'Beasts of England' was the song of the Rebellion. But the Rebellion is now completed. The execution of the traitors this afternoon was the final act. The enemy both external and internal has been defeated. In 'Beasts of England' we expressed our longing for a better society in days to come. But that society has now been established. Clearly this song has no longer any purpose." Frightened though they were, some of the animals might possibly have protested, but at this moment the sheep set up their usual bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad," which went on for several minutes and put an end to the discussion. So "Beasts of England" was heard no more. In its place Minimus, the poet, had composed another song which began: Animal Farm, Animal Farm, Never through me shalt thou come to harm! and this was sung every Sunday morning after the hoisting of the flag. But somehow neither the words nor the tune ever seemed to the animals to come up to "Beasts of England." How does the introduction of Minimus the poet support the author's purpose? Minimus represents the Soviet people’s determination to defend the country against attack. Minimus represents the producers of state-approved songs and slogans in Stalin's era. Minimus represents the true feelings of all Soviet people and their commitment to communism. Minimus represents the underlying loyalty that Soviet people had to Stalin despite his flaws.

Like insects, humans have not spent ample time securing their future. Unlike insects, humans need water to survive their harsh environment.

excerpt adapted from A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
A beautiful landscape, with the com bright in it, but not
abundant. Patches of poor rye where com should have
been patches of poor peas and beans patches of most
coarse vegetable substitutes for wheat.
Monsieur the Marquis in his traveling carriage (which
might have been lighter), conducted by four horses and
two guards on horseback, labored up a steep hill, A blush
on the countenance of Monsieur the Marquis was no fault
of his high breeding. It was not from within. It was brought
on by an external circumstance beyond his control the
setting sun. In effect, the sun was so low that it dipped at
that very moment,
But, there remained a broken country, bold and open, a
little village at the bottom of the hill, a broad steep and
rise beyond it, a church-tower, a windmill, a forest for the
chase, and a crag with a fortress on it,
The village had its one poor street, with its poor
tannery, poor tavern, poor stable-yard for relays of post
horses, poor fountain, all usual poor appointments. It had
its poor people too. All its people were poor, and many of
them were sitting at their doors, shredding spare onions
and the like for supper, while many were at the fountain,
washing leaves, and grasses, and any such small products
of the earth that could be eaten, Expressive signs of what
made them poor were not wanting. The tax for the state,
the tax for the church, the tax for the lord, tax local and
tax gend were to be paid here and to be paid there,
according to solemn inscription in the little village, until
the wonder was, that there was any village left
