Read the following passage: "Scrabble players, rejoice! Exult! Savor! Pick whatever word you have the letters to spell. Today Merriam-Webster announced it has added 300 new words to the official Scrabble dictionary. Players will most appreciate additions in four categories. "Two-letter words, like new entries 'OK' and 'ew' are especially useful in Scrabble. They make it easier to form parallel, overlapping words, and are also good when nothing else seems to work. "Words spelled with 'q' but not 'u' are prized because it’s so hard to draw both letters at the same time. Now the category has two new members, 'qapik' and 'qapiks.' There are so few of these words that any addition is a big help, even if no one knows what it means. (A qapik is a unit of money in Azerbaijan.) "Buzz words and foreign words are great because most people think they aren’t allowed. Newly acceptable buzz words include 'sheeple,' 'yowza,' and 'twerk.' Play these and now legal foreign words such as 'bibimbap' and 'schneid' with a guilty look, and you may be able to trick your opponents into making a losing challenge." The main idea of this reading is that Scrabble players will be most happy with certain kinds of additions to the official Scrabble dictionary. Which selection below is a minor supporting detail of the reading? A.)Scrabble players will be especially pleased to have access to more two-letter, "q" without "u," foreign, and buzz words. B.)Merriam-Webster publishes the official Scrabble dictionary. C.)Tricking an opponent into challenging a newly legal word is a good Scrabble strategy. D.)It’s rare to draw both a "q" and a "u."

Read the following lines from wordsworth's poem and answer the question. for oft, when on my couch i lie in vacant or in pensive mood, they flash upon that inward eye which is the best paraphrase of these lines? despite being able to plant my own daffodils, i prefer remembering the ones by the bay. if i feel very sad, i look inside myself for courage to face the day with my eyes open. oftentimes, i become so tired and overwhelmed that i lay down and think of daffodils. when i am feeling empty or concerned, the sight of the daffodils comes to my mind.
