Pleasseee select the correct text in the passage. which sentences in this excerpt from arthur conan doyle's "the contest" suggest that the author’s tone is mocking? the blue-clad player struck several chords upon his lyre, and then burst suddenly out into the “ode of niobe.” policles sat straight up on his bench and gazed at the stage in amazement. the tune demanded a rapid transition from a low note to a high, and had been purposely chosen for this reason. the low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog. then suddenly the singer threw up his face, straightened his tubby figure, rose upon his tiptoes, and with wagging head and scarlet cheeks emitted such a howl as the same dog might have given had his growl been checked by a kick from his master. all the while the lyre twanged and thrummed, sometimes in front of and sometimes behind the voice of the singer. but what amazed policles most of all was the effect of this performance upon the audience. every greek was a trained critic, and as unsparing in his hisses as he was lavish in his applause. many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform. a. policles sat straight up on his bench and gazed at the stage in amazement. b. the low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog. c. all the while the lyre twanged and thrummed, sometimes in front of and sometimes behind the voice of the singer. d. every greek was a trained critic, and as unsparing in his hisses as he was lavish in his applause. e. many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform.

Read the excerpt from part 2 of zeitoun. zeitoun woke with the sun and crawled out of his tent. the day was bright, and as far as he could see in any direction the city was underwater. . he could only think of judgment day, of noah and forty days of rain. and yet it was so quiet, so still. nothing moved. he sat on the roof and scanned the horizon, looking for any person, any animal or machine moving. nothing. as he did his morning prayers, a helicopter broke the silence, shooting across the treetops and heading downtown. why does the author include the details of zeitoun’s morning? to suggest the hopelessness of zeitoun’s situation to illustrate the solitary existence endured by survivors to establish zeitoun’s dedication to the rituals of his faith to reveal the military’s attempts at assistance
