The group hanging out in front of the movies cringed when Larry sauntered around the corner. His personality was so forceful that he could hardly keep from giving everyone a hard time. Jimmy spoke up to greet him, "Hey, Larry. I liked your speech today in class. You were quite, um, assertive when you jumped in and took Harold's turn."
Henry chimed in, "Yeah, I thought that Harold was acting a bit too modestly to get on with it."
Larry answered back favorably, "Thanks, guys. Do you mind if I join you?"
"No, not at all," said George, the group's unofficial leader. He was self-confident enough to take charge in any situation, figuring he was the best man for the job whether or not anyone else agreed.
Larry got in line behind them, and when he stepped up to the counter to purchase his ticket, the young clerk at the window nervously rang up his ticket. She fumbled with his change.
"Don't mind her," grumbled the deliberately paced veteran from the back of the booth. "She's new, but I bet she'll get the hang of things in no time," he offered with a rather unconvincing wink.

Helen grey by christina georgina rossetti because one loves you, helen grey, is that a reason you should pout, and like a march wind veer about, and frown, and say your shrewish say? don't strain the cord until it snaps, don't split the sound heart with your wedge, don't cut your fingers with the edge of your keen wit; you may, perhaps. because you're handsome, helen grey, is that a reason to be proud? ✔ your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud, your steps go mincing on their way; but so you miss that modest charm which is the surest charm of all: take heed, you yet may trip and fall, and no man care to stretch his arm. stoop from your cold height, helen grey, come down, and take a lowlier place; come down, to fill it now with grace; come down you must perforce some day: for years cannot be kept at bay, and fading years will make you old; then in their turn will men seem cold, when you yourself are nipped and grey. how does the line in bold suggest a key idea developed in the poem? a) it compares real qualities with superficial ones. b) it confirms that helen is attractive. c) it implies beauty is nothing to celebrate. d) it suggests pride should be based on other things.
