1.3.2 Test (CST): Elements or Literature Biff had just graduated from barber college - his third attempt. He had
a bad habit of nicking customers on the back of the neck with the
clippers, especially when he got nervous, which was often. In fact, he
had only passed barber college because the teacher had taken pity on
him.
Suddenly, the door of the barber shop swung open and in strode Biff's
first real customer. a terrified-looking five-year-old who fidgeted
uncontrollably. Behind him stood the boy's mother who looked like she
had just gotten a parking ticket and was ready to blame the next
person to enter her field of view.
How does the use of point of view create suspense in the passage?
O A. The third-person limited point of view means that only the reader
knows just how much Biff's job depends on proving himself by
giving the boy a successful haircut.
O B. The third-person limited point of view means that the reader can
look forward to entertaining antics when Biff attempts to give the
boy a completely disastrous haircut.
O C. The third-person omniscient point of view means that the author
strongly suggests that Biff is a terrible barber, but the audience
won't know for sure until he cuts the boy's hair.
O D. The third-person omniscient point of view means that the
audience is aware that the mother had just gotten a parking ticket,
but Biff has no idea and goes about his business normally.

the sentence that avoid faulty coordination is:

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.

it was the fourth thursday of november and cassey headed down to the woods to pick up the mushrooms mother had told her to to complement the turkey the family was going to have as they did every day.

she usually sweapt the floors and went for water, but today that task was asked to her younger sister since matthew, the only boy, had gone to the town with father in order to find cheap fabrics to make clothes.

the shoe business was not being as profitable as before, so they had decided to make clothes to sell in the village.

today there would not be time to play with mary, her neighbour and friend, to play to be still in water, a game that was not only part of the fun in the village, but also very useful if there happened to be an acciddent when she had to cross the shore by boat, as she had to at least twice a week to visit grandma.

bored and uninterested in the task she had been imposed to do, cassey started to pull up the best mushrooms she could see. suddenly, something hard was found by her tender fingers. she couldn't believe her eyes: a gold ring crowned by a diamond appeared between her fragile fingers

before she had time to think what to do, a deep voice spoke at her back.

- i heard your mum asking you to pick up mushrooms for the turkey - said her beloved tom - would you collect mushrooms for me next day?

- yes, sure. are you planning to invite someone important? - cassey asked.

- of course. i'm planning to invite two families, mine and my wife's. will you marry me? - tom asked on his knees.

cassey looked at the ring, then at tom, and she felt the moisture in her eyes. she hugged him, kissed him and in those simple actions the answer of her life was implied.
