Select the correct answer.Read this excerpt from “House Decoration” by Oscar Wilde:In these days, we hear ladies boast that they do not wear a dress more than once. In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters. This process would, I think, be quite appreciated by a modern husband when called upon to pay his wife’s bills.Which sentence correctly paraphrases and cites the excerpt? A. Modern husbands who are called upon to pay their wives’ bills are not happy that their dresses are decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery (Wilde). B. It is better for women to have many dresses that they only wear once than for women to have a few dresses that they have to hand down to their daughters in order to save money (Wilde). C. In the old days, when dresses were decorated with beautiful designs and worked with exquisite embroidery, ladies rather took a pride in bringing out the garment, wearing it many times, and handing it down to their daughters (Wilde). D. Fashion was less expensive and more beautiful when women enjoyed wearing a few well-made dresses regularly rather than striving to wear a great variety of clothes (Wilde).

Select the correct text in the passage.A writer is using the following text to write a paper about men’s fashion:adapted excerpt from House Decorationby Oscar WildeAnd how shall men dress? Men say that they do not particularly care how they dress, and this it is little matter. I am bound to reply that I agree: I can observe that you do not give much thought to your fashion. In all my journeys through the country, the only well-dressed men that I saw — and in saying this, I truthfully do mean to criticize the trendy men of Fifth Avenue — were the Western miners. Their wide-brimmed hats, which shaded their faces from the sun and protected them from the rain, and their cloaks, which are the most beautiful pieces of drapery ever invented, are worthy of being admired. Their high boots, too, were sensible and practical. They wore only what was comfortable, and therefore beautiful.Which sentence in the writer’s paper should the writer revise to include an in-text citation?Men’s fashion isn’t discussed as often as women’s fashion is, but perhaps it should be. Most men wear simple outfits consisting of basic pants and shirts. However, there are actually many options available to men, despite the fact that they might not be familiar with certain historical and contemporary fashions. In fact, the nineteenth-century Western miners’ exquisite cloaks, large hats, and practical boots are excellent examples of high-quality men’s fashion.
