Read the passage. Which central idea is developed by
the quotation in the last sentence?
When a troupe of "lady bicyclists" descended upon
Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a six-day marathon in 1891,
the entire Twin Cities area seemed captivated. Eight days
before the start of the race, the St. Paul Daily Globe
began profiling the women, offering brief descriptions of
them and their past achievements. Louise Armaindo, the
paper declared, had "the best record in the world among
women as an all-round athlete," including the ability to
lift 760 pounds "without shoulder straps."

What does the author see as the main cause for why students don’t really see shakespeare as a real, flawed human being? we shouldn’t shy away from discussing our literary heroes’ flaws. if nothing else, the knowledge of their failures us appreciate what success and greatness these authors did achieve. often our hero-worship keeps us from truly seeing the complexity of a great author. thus, i would argue, nothing would be better for high school students than to take shakespeare down a peg or two. a) the fact that students never learn enough about shakespeares biography b) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s comedies while in school c) the fact that students are never assigned to read any shakespeare while in high school d) the fact that students only read shakespeare’s greatest works in school and thus never see his weaknesses

Read the following excerpt from life on the mississippi by mark twain. no girl could withstand his charms. he "cut out" every boy in the village. when his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. but when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism. how does twain's use of understatement serve his purpose? be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer.
