Read the passage from "the lady, or the tiger.”

this semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own. as is usual in such cases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity. among his courtiers was a young man of that fineness of blood and lowness of station common to the conventional heroes of romance who love royal maidens. this royal maiden was well satisfied with her lover, for he was handsome and brave to a degree unsurpassed in all this kingdom, and she loved him with an ardor that had enough of barbarism in it to make it exceedingly warm and strong. this love affair moved on happily for many months, until one day the king happened to discover its existence.

which conclusion does the passage best support?

the princess is strongly barbaric, so she will choose the tiger.
the princess loves the young man enough to choose the lady.
the king is semi-barbaric, so he will make sure the young man gets the tiger.
the king loves his daughter strongly enough that he will pardon the young man.

The princess is strongly barbaric, so she will choose the tiger.

Explanation:

This passage best supports the conclusion that the princess is strongly barbaric. We know this based on the first sentence of the passage. In the first sentence, we learn that the semi-barbaric king had a daughter that was "fervent" and "imperious." These could be considered barbaric qualities. Moreover, as these are shared with the father, they most likely indicate that the princess is barbaric as well.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
