The writer wants to develop the main idea of the third paragraph by adding additional information after sentence 11. Which of the following choices would best accomplish this goal?

Answer: C.  An anecdote about a group of people who met and became friends at a concert in their neighborhood

Explanation: Of the choices provided, a narrative about people who met at a local art event would most effectively develop the paragraph’s point that art can develop unexpected, as opposed to existing, social connections between people. Such a narrative would follow effectively from the direct quotation in sentence 11, because the people meeting at a local art event would be in close physical, or bodily, proximity. The narrative would also provide an effective contrast to the example of the existing community of stylists and their patrons developed in the previous paragraph

Answer:C

Explanation: I got it right

What is the main opinion of this text's writer?

When I first left school and got a job, I had to pay a third of my wages to my parents for board. Another third I had
to put into savings. This meant that my take home pay went from £200 a week to £66. At the time, I was furious.
However, as I got older, I realised that this taught me a valuable lesson about saving money. All of my friends had
wasted theirs, whereas I had enough money to move into a flat when I wanted to move out. I was glad I'd saved
my money then.

Select the answer below:

A, Paying board is a good idea, but teenagers shouldn't be forced to save their money.

B, Teenagers can't be trusted to look after their money.

C, Paying board and saving teaches you how to look after your money.

D, Paying board is unnecessary. ​

Sharks' Teeth
By Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Read this sentence from the text:

The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste.

Which of the following best explains the phrase like a recently frosted chocolate cake?
