Which two sentences in the excerpt suggest that Policles loved quality music?

The Contest


by Arthur Conan Doyle (adapted excerpt)


The blue-clad player struck several chords upon his lyre, and then burst suddenly out into the "Ode of Niobe," and 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 figure, rose upon his tiptoes, and with wagging head and scarlet cheeks emitted a howl. 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 from the platform, but now, as the man stopped and wiped the abundant sweat from his face, the whole assembly burst into a delirium of appreciation. The shepherd held his hands to his bursting head and felt that his reason must be leaving him, for it was surely a dreadful musical nightmare, and he would wake soon and laugh at the remembrance. But no, the figures were real, the faces were those of his neighbours, and the cheers which resounded in his ears were indeed from an audience which filled the theatre of Olympia. The whole chorus was in full blast, the hummers humming, the shouters bellowing, the tappers hard at work upon the benches, while every now and then came a musical cyclone of "Incomparable! Divine!" from the trained phalanx who intoned their applause, their united voices sweeping over the tumult as the drone of the wind dominates the roar of the sea. It was madness—insufferable madness! If this were allowed to pass, there was an end of all musical justice in Greece. Policles' conscience would not permit him to be still. Standing upon his bench with waving hands and up-raised voice, he protested with all the strength of his lungs against the mad judgment of the audience.

Both Ashoke and Ashima were not angry at the presence of the visitors in the hospital. They were not annoyed by their presence but they expressed the desire to go home.

In chapter 2 of "The Namesake," by Jhumpa Lahiri, both Ashoke and Ashima were not put off by their Bengali friends, Maya and Dilip Nandi, and Dr. Gupta who had just arrived at the hospital to see their newborn child.

Ashima wished that her child was born in their native home surrounded by close family and friends who will be very excited about the birth of the boy. While they were happy about their friends' visit, they also had other wishes.

Proctor is married to Elizabeth Proctor, the former (adulterous) lover of Abigail Williams, the employer of Mary Warren, a friend of Giles Corey and Francis Nurse (and consequently their wives), and not a fan of Reverend Parris.

Although Proctor "regards himself as a type of fraud"  because of his affair with Abigail Williams, Miller describes him as "respected and even feared in Salem," having "a sharp and cutting way with hypocrites," and having "a sharp and biting way with hypocrites."

Rhetorical question

Explanation:

Rhetorical question definition is A statement made in the form of a question with no expectation of an answer

For example From Ronald Reagan's speech:

"Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here. You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet you risked everything here. Why? Why did you do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow we know the answer. It was faith, and belief; it was loyalty and love." (Also got right on the test)

A question that requires no answer is a rhetorical question. Thus the correct option is D.

A tragic hero is a figure in a theatrical tragedy who possesses noble and sympathetic qualities but who eventually suffers or loses. Tragic events, such as the untimely death of a loved one, are tragically distressing. A hero is someone who has achieved noteworthy feats and is looked up to as an example by others.

The tragic heroes of Aristotle are flawed people who, without intending to do harm, do immense wrongs or harm that ultimately result in their misfortune.
