Read the following passage:
"Scrabble players, rejoice! Exult! Savor! Pick whatever word you have the letters to spell. Today Merriam-Webster announced it has
added 300 new words to the official Scrabble dictionary. Players will most appreciate additions in four categories.
"Two-letter words, like new entries 'OK' and 'ew' are especially useful in Scrabble. They make it easier to form parallel, overlapping
words, and are also good when nothing else seems to work.
"Words spelled with 'q' but not 'u' are prized because it's so hard to draw both letters at the same time. Now the category has two new
members, 'qapik' and 'qapiks.' There are so few of these words that any addition is a big help, even if no one knows what it means. (A
qapik is a unit of money in Azerbaijan.)
"Buzz words and foreign words are great because most people think they aren't allowed. Newly acceptable buzz words include
'sheeple,' 'yowza,' and 'twerk. Play these and now legal foreign words such as 'bibimbap' and 'schneid' with a guilty look, and you may be
able to trick your opponents into making a losing challenge."
The main idea of this reading is that Scrabble players will be most happy with certain kinds of additions to the official Scrabble dictionary.
Which selection below is a minor supporting detail of the reading?
O It's rare to draw both a "q" and a "u."
O Tricking an opponent into challenging a newly legal word is a good Scrabble strategy.
O Merriam-Webster publishes the official Scrabble dictionary.
O Scrabble players will be especially pleased to have access to more two-letter, "q" without "u," foreign, and buzz words,

Which lines in this excerpt from act ii of william shakespeare’s romeo and juliet reveal that mercutio thinks romeo would be better off if he stopped thinking about love? mercutio: i will bite thee by the ear for that jest. romeo: nay, good goose, bite not. mercutio: thy wit is a very bitter sweeting it is a most sharp sauce. romeo: and is it not well served in to a sweet goose? mercutio: o here's a wit of cheveril, that stretches from an inch narrow to an ell broad! romeo: i stretch it out for that word 'broad; ' which added to the goose, proves thee far and wide a broad goose. mercutio: why, is not this better now than groaning for love? now art thou sociable, now art thou romeo; now art thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature: for this drivelling love is like a great natural, that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole. benvolio: stop there, stop there. mercutio: thou desirest me to stop in my tale against the hair. benvolio: thou wouldst else have made thy tale large. mercutio: o, thou art deceived; i would have made it short: for i was come to the whole depth of my tale; and meant, indeed, to occupy the argument no longer.
