you can use trick sentences or rhymes as mnemonic devices to recall information. for example, you can recall this rhyme: “in 1492, columbus sailed the ocean blue.” the rhyming of “2” and “blue” should you remember that columbus arrived in the new world in 1492. or you can use the sentence “every good boy does fine” to remember the notes of the treble clef in music notation. simply name the first letter of each word in the “nonsense sentence” to remember e, g,b, d, and f—in that order. you can also recall information by using acronyms. an acronym condenses information into an abbreviation expressed as a set of capital letters. for example, who stands for the world health organization. to recall the names of the great lakes, you can associate the names of the lakes with the acronym homes to remember huron, ontario, michigan, erie, and superior.
which of the following best expresses the main idea of this paragraph? a. mnemonic devices are silly sentences while acronyms are abbreviations. b. you can use mnemonic devices to recall information. c. mnemonic devices are usually rhymes while acronyms require definitions. d. acronyms are easier to recall than mnemonic devices, but both are useful.

lucas was a voracious reader, absorbing novels, biographies, and popular science books. his standardized test scores were all quite high. he also got along fine with other kids during recess, laughing and playing like a perfectly normal twelve-year-old. but when the bell rang for class, his facial expression changed. an observer might have been reminded of a prisoner returning to his cell. in class, lucas was one of those kids who slouched at his desk in the back of the room, gazing out a window or trying to find ways to allay his boredom. to that end, he often drew pictures of spaceships. he also drew pictures of dragons attacking spaceships. when truly inspired, he drew pictures of alien monsters attacking dragons, thus allowing his spaceships to escape to distant galaxies. indeed, the inside of his desk was a dense clutter of these fanciful sketches. by late afternoon, too drowsy for dragons, alien monsters, or spaceships, lucas would gaze hopefully at the white clock on the wall, willing the second hand to move faster, faster. of course, it never moved faster, and, inevitably, he would only become more and more impatient with the painfully slow movement of the hour hand.
24. the main idea we can get from this paragraph is that a. lucas was obsessed with science fiction. b. lucas was irresponsible, but artistic. c. lucas was smart and creative, but bored with school. d. lucas was poorly adjusted and possibly mentally ill.

Which two passages in this excerpt from the death of ivan illych does leo tolstoy use to suggest that ivan ilych feels like his life is slipping away from him? "what's the use? it makes no difference," he said to himself, staring with wide-open eyes into the darkness. "death. yes, death. and none of them knows or wishes to know it, and they have no pity for me. now they are playing." (he heard through the door the distant sound of a song and its accompaniment.) "it's all the same to them, but they will die too! fools! i first, and they later, but it will be the same for them. and now they are merry . . the beasts! " anger choked him and he was agonizingly, unbearably miserable. "it is impossible that all men have been doomed to suffer this awful horror! " he raised himself. "something must be wrong. i must calm myself—must think it all over from the beginning." and he again began thinking. "yes, the beginning of my illness: i knocked my side, but i was still quite well that day and the next. it hurt a little, then rather more. i saw the doctors, then followed despondency and anguish, more doctors, and i drew nearer to the abyss. my strength grew less and i kept coming nearer and nearer, and now i have wasted away and there is no light in my eyes.
