Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Sweet and gentle ladies, this day has been devoted, so far as I can see, to the doings of kings and sultans
and people of that sort, and therefore, so as not to place too great a distance between us, I want to tell you of
a marquis, whose actions, even though things turned out well for him in the end, were remaricable not so
much for their munificence as for their senseless brutality. (p. 784)
Which option identifies the context clue that would be most helpful in determining the meaning of the underlined word?
O even though things turned out well for him in the end
o to the doings of kings and sultans and people of that sort,
-not to place too great a distance between us...
-remarkable not so much for... as for their senseless brutality

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?
