When Tomas gave his speech, the heating system was not working correctly. Knowing that his audience felt hot and cranky, Tomas began his speech by saying, "I know we are all very uncomfortable from the temperature. But I want you all to close your eyes and imagine the heat coming from the sun while you are lying in the sand listening to the waves at one of my favorite vacation spots, Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, Florida!" The class became energized, and Tomas was able to keep his audience's attention. Why?

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the explanation is the same, I will omit it:

The class became energized, and Tomas was able to keep his audience's attention. Why?

A. The body of his speech was well organized.

B. He drew attention away from the topic of his speech.

C. He paid attention to the audience's demographics.

D. He used the physical situation to his advantage.

E. He refuse to be influenced negatively by the physical setting.

Answer:

The class became energized and paid attention because:

D. He used the physical situation to his advantage.

E. He refuse to be influenced negatively by the physical setting.

Explanation:

Tomas himself could have gotten cranky due to the heat, but he refused to let that affect him negatively. Instead, he came up with an interesting way to make the heat acceptable to his audience. By asking them to imagine they are on a beach, Tomas was able to get them to feel good. Their brains are no longer focusing on how irritating it is to be at a place where the heating system does not work properly. Quite the contrary, the heat is actually helpful when it comes to imagining a hot, tropical, paradisiac place. Tomas was able to take advantage of the situation.

Music Requirements
Daveed Trellis
Most schools have some sort of fine arts elective requirement that students must complete in order to graduate.
Students often take music appreciation or drawing or sometimes even dance. I believe, however, that all public
Schools should require students to learn to play at least one musical instrument instead of allowing them to take
any art elective. I have many reasons for suggesting this graduation requirement. First and foremost, I believe
that students should be required to learn to play a musical instrument because it is fun.
Which sentence would add an effective supporting detail to this argument?
Practicing an instrument can be a tedious and repetitive task for the person
learning to play
Studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument improves a
person's ability to memorize material

This paragraph is from a diary account that describes what it was like for people traveling on boats from Europe to America in the eighteenth century.
Add to this want of provisions, hunger, thirst, frost, heat, dampness, anxiety, want, afflictions and lamentations, together with other trouble, as e.g., the lice abound so frightfully, especially on sick people, that they can be scraped off the body. The misery reaches a climax when a gale rages for two or three nights and days, so that every one believes that the ship will go to the bottom with all human beings on board. In such a visitation the people cry and pray most piteously.
