Which of these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice highlights the condescending attitude of upper-class characters? 1. Her report was highly favourable.Sir William had been delighted with him. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained. 2. Jane was as much gratified by this as her mother could be, though in a quieter way. Elizabeth felt Jane's pleasure. Mary had heard herself mentioned to Miss Bingley as the most accomplished girl in the neighbourhood; and Catherine and Lydia had been fortunate enough never to be without partners, which was all that they had yet learnt to care for at a ball. They returned, therefore, in good spirits to Longbourn, the village where they lived, and of which they were the principal inhabitants. They found Mr. Bennet still up. 3. They were rather handsome, had been educated in one of the first private seminaries in town, had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds, were in the habit of spending more than they ought, and of associating with people of rank, and were therefore in every respect entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others. They were of a respectable family in the north of England; a circumstance more deeply impressed on their memories than that their brother's fortune and their own had been acquired by trade. 4. The manner in which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently characteristic. Bingley had never met with more pleasant people or prettier girls in his life; everybody had been most kind and attentive to him; there had been no formality, no stiffness; he had soon felt acquainted with all the room; and, as to Miss Bennet, he could not conceive an angel more beautiful. Darcy, on the contrary, had seen a collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received either attention or pleasure. Miss Bennet he acknowledged to be pretty, but she smiled too much.

When Gregor, the protagonist in Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, transforms into a giant insect, his relationship with his family hits a low. However, in chapter 2, his relationship with his sister, Grete, evolves as she becomes his sole caregiver. Which of these excerpts talks about this new role for his sister?
A.Once during that long evening, the door on one side of the room was opened very slightly and hurriedly closed again; later on the door on the other side did the same; it seemed that someone needed to enter the room but thought better of it. Gregor went and waited immediately by the door, resolved either to bring the timorous visitor into the room in some way or at least to find out who it was; but the door was opened no more that night and Gregor waited in vain. The previous morning while the doors were locked everyone had wanted to get in there to him, but now, now that he had opened up one of the doors and the other had clearly been unlocked some time during the day, no-one came, and the keys were in the other sides.
B.It was not until late at night that the gaslight in the living room was put out, and now it was easy to see that his parents and sister had stayed awake all that time, as they all could be distinctly heard as they went away together on tip-toe. It was clear that no-one would come into Gregor's room any more until morning; that gave him plenty of time to think undisturbed about how he would have to re-arrange his life. For some reason, the tall, empty room where he was forced to remain made him feel uneasy as he lay there flat on the floor, even though he had been living in it for five years. Hardly aware of what he was doing other than a slight feeling of shame, he hurried under the couch. It pressed down on his back a little, and he was no longer able to lift his head, but he nonetheless felt immediately at ease and his only regret was that his body was too broad to get it all underneath.
…
C.He spent the whole night there. Some of the time he passed in a light sleep, although he frequently woke from it in alarm because of his hunger, and some of the time was spent in worries and vague hopes which, however, always led to the same conclusion: for the time being he must remain calm, he must show patience and the greatest consideration so that his family could bear the unpleasantness that he, in his present condition, was forced to impose on them.
D.Gregor soon had the opportunity to test the strength of his decisions, as early the next morning, almost before the night had ended, his sister, nearly fully dressed, opened the door from the front room and looked anxiously in. She did not see him straight away, but when she did notice him under the couch—he had to be somewhere, for God's sake, he couldn't have flown away—she was so shocked that she lost control of herself and slammed the door shut again from outside.
…
E.[H]is sister noticed the full dish immediately and looked at it and the few drops of milk splashed around it with some surprise. She immediately picked it up—using a rag, not her bare hands—and carried it out. Gregor was extremely curious as to what she would bring in its place, imagining the wildest possibilities, but he never could have guessed what his sister, in her goodness, actually did bring. In order to test his taste, she brought him a whole selection of things, all spread out on an old newspaper. There were old, half-rotten vegetables; bones from the evening meal, covered in white sauce that had gone hard; a few raisins and almonds; some cheese that Gregor had declared inedible two days before; a dry roll and some bread spread with butter and salt. As well as all that she had poured some water into the dish, which had probably been permanently set aside for Gregor's use, and placed it beside them. Then, out of consideration for Gregor's feelings, as she knew that he would not eat in front of her, she hurried out again and even turned the key in the lock so that Gregor would know he could make things as comfortable for himself as he liked. Gregor's little legs whirred, at last he could eat.
Answer: The right answer is E.
Explanation: Her sister tries to feed her brother who is now a bizarre insect and has different tastes.

Which word in the following sentence contains a capitalization error? Professor Singh is a specialist in ancient Chinese History.
Professor
Ancient
History
Specialist
The correct answer is B. Ancient
Explanation:
In grammar, the word capitalization refers to writing the first letter of a word in uppercase while leaving the rest of the letters in lowercase. This according to grammar use should be applied to the first word of a text or after a period and to proper names which besides the specific names of people and places includes time periods or important events in history such as the World War I or the Civil War, including adjectives and similar directly related to them. This means in the case of the sentence " Professor Singh is a specialist in ancient Chinese History" the word "Ancient" should be capitalized as this is part of the proper noun "Ancient Chinese History" and therefore the word with a capitalization error is "Ancient".
Jim tells lies on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but tells the truth on all other days. Freda tells lies on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and tells the truth on all other days. If they both both say "Yesterday I lied", then what is today? ...?
As per the details provided, the day that falls today when Jim and Freda together say 'Yesterday I lied' would be:
- Friday
The reason for today being Friday is that Jim and Freda both can not speak the truth or lie on the same day. It implies that they both speak the truth or lie on alternate days. So, when they say that 'Yesterday I lied,' it implies that Jim is lying while Freda is telling the truth. This is because Freda lies on Thursdays but Jim lies on Fridays and therefore, this makes the conclusion correct.Thus, 'Friday' is the correct answer.

As Jeremiah looked back through his yearbook pictures, remembering all the fun and hard work of high school, he felt ____________________________
amorous.
sentimental.
amiable.
euphonious.
Jeremiah likely felt sentimental while looking back through his year high school yearbook, which is a feeling of tenderness and nostalgia for the past.
Explanation:As Jeremiah looked back through his yearbook pictures, remembering all the fun and hard work of high school, he felt sentimental. This emotion reflects a wistful or tenderly affectionate feeling for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. The term 'amorous' indicates strong feelings of love, usually in a romantic context, which does not align with the reminiscence of high school memories. 'Amiable' describes a person's pleasant and friendly disposition, not an emotional state. 'Euphonious' refers to a sound that is pleasing to the ear, which is unrelated to the feelings of nostalgia that Jeremiah might have had while looking through his yearbook.

These claims are highly affected by the beliefs, points of view or emotions that make them become prejudiced as when one includes his/her opinions while narrating the content itself favors one aspect and fails to recognize another side of the coin and present it to the readers. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
