Which clue from the text is most helpful for determining
the meaning of dolce far niente?
Marcella and her cousin Lucia just returned from a family
vacation in the Italian countryside. While away, they
experienced dolce far niente firsthand. They spent long,
lazy afternoons with their parents and extended family,
lounging around the pool. Their evenings were spent
discussing things of no importance over long, delicious
evening meals.
O long, lazy afternoons
O were from the countryside in Italy
parents and extended family
O delicious evening meal

Answer:

a. long, lazy afternoons

Explanation:

Option A is the correct answer that gives the clue from the text determining the meaning of dolce far niente.

This is true because dolce far niente is an Italian phrase which means to enjoy in idleness. That is a pleasant enjoyment in doing nothing or a pleasant laziness.

When one just sits outside in a cool shade gazing around without doing anything, the phrase, dolce far niente is what is being performed.

From the passage, we discover that they spent long, lazy afternoons with their parents and extended family. The use of "lazy" depicts idleness. This means that were not actually doing anything meaningful.

Answer:

A. long, lazy afternoons

Laurel woke up to the sound of her banging alarm. She was startled, but excited to start her first day of middle school. Her outfit was ready, and her lunch was packed. She even bought new pens and notebooks for the new school year.


As she sat on the bus in her new clothes, she started to feel nervous. What if she didn’t like her teachers? What if middle school was too hard? What if she didn’t have anyone to sit with at lunch? Laurel could feel her stomach churning with fear. Then at the next stop, her best friend, Norma, got on the bus. As Norma sat right next to her, Laurel knew everything would be okay as long as she had her best friend.

Source 1: Single-sex Education: The Pros and Cons
By Kristin Stanberry

Single-sex education (teaching boys and girls in separate classrooms or schools) is an old approach that’s gaining new momentum. While single-sex education has long existed in many private schools, it’s a relatively new option for public schools. The National Association for Single-Sex Public Education estimates that approximately 400 public schools now offer some form of single-sex education. What is fueling this movement? And what are the risks and benefits of single-sex education?
A driving force in the single-sex education movement is recent research showing natural differences in how males and females learn. Putting this research into practice, however, has triggered a debate that extends beyond pure academics. Political, civil rights, socioeconomic and legal concerns also come into play.
Before weighing the pros and cons of single-sex education, consider the influences of “nature versus nurture.” Many factors affect each child’s learning profile and preferences:
Some factors relate to the child’s nature, such as gender, temperament, abilities (and disabilities), and intelligence.
Other influences stem from the way parents and society nurture the child: Family upbringing, socioeconomic status, culture and stereotypes all fall under the “nurture” category.
Some parents don’t want their children to be in mixed-gender classrooms because, especially at certain ages, students of the opposite sex can be a distraction.
Leonard Sax, founder of the National Association for Single-Sex Public Education, and others agree that merely placing boys in separate classrooms from girls accomplishes little. But single-sex education enhances student success when teachers use techniques geared toward the gender of their students.
Some research and reports from educators suggest that single-sex education can broaden the educational prospects for both girls and boys. Advocates claim co-ed schools tend to reinforce gender stereotypes, while single-sex schools can break down gender stereotypes. For example, girls are free of the pressure to compete with boys in male-dominated subjects such as math and science. Boys, on the other hand, can more easily pursue traditionally “feminine” interests such as music and poetry. One mother, whose daughter has attended a girls-only school for three years, shared her experience on the GreatSchools parent community: “I feel that the single gender environment has given her a level of confidence and informed interest in math and science that she may not have had otherwise.”
The fact remains that there are relatively few single-sex schools in our nation’s public education system, and where they do exist, they are offered as an option rather than a requirement. If the single-sex education movement continues, you may find yourself in a position to vote for or against it in your own community.
