For although he /usually/ sang at night, his playing was characterized by velocity, by long-continued successions of notes and phrases, by swoops, bleats, echoes, rapidly repeated bebops--I mean rebopped bebops--by mocking mimicry of other jazzmen's styles, and by interpolations of motifs from extraneous melodies, all of which added up to the dazzling display of wit, satire, burlesque, and pathos.

Which statement best summarizes the effect of the sentence?
a. length of the sentence suggests the difficulty of artistic creation
b. numerous abstractions provide a startling contrast to the preceding sentence
c. irony of the sentence highlights the complexity of Parker’s music
d. complexity of the sentence’s structure mirrors the complexity of Parker’s music
e. extensive use of prepositions underscores the repetitiveness of Parker’s style

I have other questions needing longer passages but due to character limit this is all of the passage I can put. Please e-mail if you are willing to help

I’m about to be a senior in high school and have to start deciding my classes for next year. I will definitely take the hardest classes (all APs), but I’m still confused as to what APs. I have to take some required courses, but I do have some choice as to my electives. English AP, Calculus BC AP, Economics AP, Government AP all are pretty much confirmed.

But here’s the question:

I have taken Spanish since ninth grade. Should I take Spanish 5 AP next year; I really don’t have much interest in Spanish, even though I know I can get an A in it. Or should I take another AP class that I do have some interest in, such as AP statistics. I mean, what would look better for college: Spanish AP or Statistics AP?

Also, I have never taken a class in the Arts. Would it be useful for my college applications if I take Art History AP.

Phew! Thanks for reading all that. Thanks to anyone that offers suggestions

ok so im doing this assignment where theres a short excerpt from a story. and i need to write a totally different story but using the same format as in the short excerpt.
This is the sentence from the excerpt:

I wandered listlessly about the room, trying to think of something to do, dreading the return of my mother, resentful of being neglected.

This is what i have so far:

I went slowly around my room, attempting to pick up things off the floor, hurrying before the arrival of my mother, ________________.

Please help me find a way to replace those words in the sentence above, and place it in the blank above.
