Read the following argument made by a concerned citizen at a town meeting: Are we supposed to stand idly by while our town
government wastes millions of dollars? While we pay
higher and higher taxes, our leaders are stuffing the money
into a bag that's riddled with holes! We cannot continue to
support this senseless waste. We cannot accept tax
increases as inevitable. And we cannot allow our elected
officials to retain their positions withtut fixing this broken
system.
Which of these sentences is the most accurate evaluation of the structure of
the argument?
A. The idea that tax increases can be avoided is not grounded in
reality and common sense.
B. The suggestion that people reject elected officials who are
incompetent is too divisive.
C. The image of stuffing money into a holey bag makes the point
clear and engaging.
D. The repetition of the word "higher' creates an emotional effect
that is convincing.

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.
