Help 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?
O It's rare to draw both a "q" and a "u."
O Tricking an opponent into challenging a newly legal word is a good Scrabble strategy.
O Merriam-Webster publishes the official Scrabble dictionary.
O Scrabble players will be especially pleased to have access to more two-letter, "q" without "u," foreign, and buzz words,

Which phrase from the article suggests a tone that is formal but subjective? a- "thirty-six inches long and sixteen inches wide" b- "loads of fun with it" c- "most generous and attractive" d- "must be new subscribers" one of the most generous and attractive offers ever made to washington boys and girls is announced today by the washington times circulation department. for a limited time, national capital youngsters who show enterprise and energy will be given disc wheel coaster wagons in return for a few hours of their time. each boy or girl who sends in to the circulation manager, room 242, the names and addresses of ten friends or relatives who agree to take the washington times for six months, will receive one of these wagons, which can be made a source of profit as well as unending enjoyment for youngsters. the boys and girls are merely asked to obtain the signatures of ten friends or relatives. no money is to be collected and no work is required. the washington times is the most popular and constantly growing newspaper in the national capital and it is easy and simple to obtain the required ten signatures. as soon as the signatures are verified, the disc wheel coaster wagon will be delivered to the energetic boy or girl. the disc wheel coaster wagon is thirty-six inches long and sixteen inches wide. the coaster is built exactly like a high-powered automobile. the disc wheels have rubber tires and true roller bearings. it runs as smoothly as an eight-cylinder automobile. it is built of the strongest wood and is equipped with a reliable hand brake, enabling the owner to stop in an instant. the tongue—usually the first thing about a wagon to break and render the wagon unserviceable—is so stout that a man can jump on it without breaking it. it is built for real boys and active girls and they are bound to have loads of fun with it. besides using the wagon for pleasure and going visiting, boys and girls can use it to make money, running—or riding—errands, delivering packages, wheeling marketing home, etc. the disc wheel coaster wagon is so strongly built that it will withstand the roughest usage to which it may be subjected and will last for years. every boy and girl who wants one of the attractive and most desirable disc wheel coaster wagons should start today to sign up the necessary ten relatives or friends as home delivery subscribers for the washington times for six months. bear in mind that the ten persons whose signatures you obtain must be new subscribers—that is, they must be persons who are not having the washington times delivered at their homes at present. here’s hoping every boy and girl in washington gets a disc wheel coaster wagon before many days.
