Read the excerpt from infinite jest.
"my application's not bought,' i am telling them, calling into the darkness of the red cave that opens out before closed
eyes. 'i am not just a boy who plays tennis. i have an intricate history. experiences and feelings. i'm complex.
'i read,' i say, 'i study and read. i bet i've read everything you've read. don't think i haven't. i consume libraries. i
wear out spines and rom-drives. i do things like get in a taxi and say, "the library, and step on it." my instincts
concerning syntax and mechanics are better than your own, i can tell, with due respect.
the theme suggested by the excerpt is about
being understood
the value of education
wisdom versus foolishness
learning responsibility

Lots of elementary school kids play sports after school. they play soccer, tennis, football, baseball, and even lacrosse. but i think that another great way to spend the afternoon is by playing a non-physical activity: chess. at our school we have a chess club that meets every week to play games and to learn about chess-related issues. chess is a wonderful game for many reasons. chess teaches students to be patient and not rush decisions. chess also teaches students how to strategize their future plans. and finally, chess teaches students the importance and necessity of sacrifice. chess can teach students just as much as any other sport. which sentence could best be added to this paragraph as a supporting detail? a) chess is not as fun as playing a sport outdoors might be. b) my father is very good at chess and plays a game with me every night. c) chess teaches students to think ahead about the consequences of their actions. d) other activities that are as fun as chess are painting, drawing, dancing, and acting.
