What is significant about Jack’s story about being discovered in an ordinary handbag lost in the cloakroom of a railway station?
Group of answer choices
His story symbolizes both his ambiguous social status during the play, and the possibility of his social mobility
His story induces Gwendolen to fall in love with him and betray her parents so she can marry Jack
His story demonstrates that Jack is secretly living a double life and is not really who he says he is
His story allows the reader to sympathize with his situation
"His story symbolizes both his ambiguous social status during the play, and the possibility of his social mobility"
Think about it. Gwendolyn doesn't love him because of this, he's quite open about this story, so that's not demonstrating anything. And this is not played up for sympathy. This leaves us with one option.

“Life on the Sea”
The storm roiled on the horizon as rough waves rocked the helm of the fishing vessel. The captain had known the storm was coming—he had watched the weather reports for the past several days of the journey—but he started to question his decision as the waves got more powerful. One wave slapped the vessel and knocked him to the deck; when he stood up on unsteady feet, he grabbed the wheel with both hands. Though he had been a fishing boat captain for years and knew that the sea was the safest place for a vessel in a storm, these moments always terrified him.
He had spent most of his life on the sea; he knew the habits and nuances of the water like it was his closest friend. The calmness that he felt when the water was placid wasn’t like any stillness that he experienced on land. And though he didn’t like the choppy waves when he could barely stay upright, he knew that these moments were necessary too. It was like life—in order to get to the peace, he had to weather the storm.
His wife, Marla, didn’t understand his obsession with the water, why he spent months of the year navigating a boat full of crab fishermen to isolated spots of the ocean hundreds of miles from shore. She couldn’t grasp why he didn’t get the same satisfaction from life behind a desk—the stable job in an office downtown that Marla wanted him to have. He had tried things her way, but that had only lasted a couple years; after a while, she could tell that he was miserable, and she gave him her permission to do what he loved. He gave his job two weeks’ notice and was back on the sea right away.
He knew he missed things while he was away on these fishing boats: he listened to his wife’s voice over an unreliable cell phone connection. He’d had to watch his daughter Ky speak her first words on a video that chirped into his phone. And though he’d been there for her first steps, he’d missed her first day of preschool, and there would inevitably be other milestones that he would miss.
He stared into the blackness of the storm and knew that the fishermen below deck were relying on him to get them safely back to their families—he knew this because he was aware of how his own family relied on him. He knew that he had to stay focused, even when he wanted to think about what his wife was doing now. He would see her in a week—and he’d be able to take his daughter to school again. He’d be able to go to the grocery store and the park and do all the everyday things that he missed while at sea.
He touched the picture of his family that was inside his raincoat as the next wave approached. He imagined their voices telling him that they were proud of him, and it filled him with a strength that he hadn’t felt at other times during this journey. In the morning, the storm would die down, and he would enjoy the quiet. In the morning, he would call his daughter and tell her about the big storm and hear the wonder in her voice as he described the size of each wave. But for now, he was a man on a mission; he took a deep breath and held onto the steering wheel with every bit of his strength.
“Let’s go,” he thought as the biggest wave of all crashed into the boat.

adapted from The Underdogs
by Mariano Azuela
Everything was still swathed in shadows as Demetrio
Macias began his descent to the bottom of the ravine.
Between rocks striped with huge eroded cracks, and a
squarely cut wall, with the river flowing below, a narrow
ledge along the steep incline served as a mountain trail.
"They'll surely find me now," he mused. "It's a good
thing they know nothing about the trails and paths up
here..... But if they got someone from Moyahua to guide
them..." He left the thought unfinished. "All the men
from Limon or Santa Rosa or the other nearby ranches
are on our side: they wouldn't try to trail us. That cacique
who's chased and run me ragged over these hills, is at
Mohayua now; he'd give his eyeteeth to capture me."
At dawn, he approached the pit of the canyon. Here, he
lay on the rocks and fell asleep.

The dialogue in paragraphs 8–16 develops the characters of the narrator and his father by showing how —
frightened both men are by the upcoming journey
the son has grown stronger and wiser than his father
both men respect their traditions and love one another
their traditions blind both men to the realities around them
This question seems to refer to the short story "By the Waters of Babylon," by author Stephen Vincent Benét.
Answer:
I believe there are two correct answers for this question. Since you did not post anything about how many options should be checked, I will select both of them.
The dialogue develops the characters by showing how:
B. the son has grown stronger and wiser than his father.
C. both men respect their traditions and love one another
Explanation:
The dialogue between John and his father in "By the Waters of Babylon" reveals how much John has grown. Now that he has become a man, he asks his father for permission to leave their land. John is a priest, just like his father. This is a post-apocalyptic scenario in which societal beliefs are based on superstitions and the fear of the unknown.
John wants to leave and explore, but his father fears for him. They love and respect each other. John would not leave without his father's permission; his father would not let John leave without giving him his blessing:
"My son," he said. "Once I had young dreams. If your dreams do not eat you up, you may be a great priest. If they eat you, you are still my son. Now go on your journey."
John and his father follow the traditions and rules of their people. John does not stop obeying them just because he is leaving. Quite the contrary, he maintains and respects them, just like his father:
That night, in the house of the priesthood, I asked for and received purification.
The dialogue also reveals how much stronger and wiser than his own father John has grown. While his father is still attached to superstitions, John wishes to know more and learn the truth:
His eyes were stern when I told him he was no longer my father but a priest. [...]
"This is a very strong dream," he said." It may eat you up."
"I am not afraid," I said and looked at him with both eyes.

Dark Romantic writers sometimes focused on the psychological effects of
sin. Tom experiences some psychological distress after making his deal with
the devil. How does Tom suffer psychologically from his sin?
Answer:
He suffers from the sin he committed with the constant fear of being condemned to hell after his death.
Explanation:
He suffers from the sin he committed with the constant fear of being condemned to hell after his death. This thought terrifies Tom and takes away all the peace and quiet, because he is very afraid. This makes him desperately look for a church and become a religious fanatic to the point of looking like a madman, begging for his religiosity to save him, but he doesn't get that grace.

Read this entry from a blog about service dogs.
Lexie, an eight-month-old black Labrador retriever, is sleeping quietly at my feet. I can’t help but think that her soft, velvety ears and alert brown eyes would make her the perfect “doggie model” for pet magazines and pet store ads. However, Lexie will soon have a much more important job to do. In a few months, she will become the loyal companion and service dog for a young man who has been blind since birth. She will help him board public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains, and she will help him safely cross busy intersections. Lexie will even help the young man avoid obstacles, such as high curbs and low overhangs. Like all dogs in our organization, Lexie has undergone months of specialized training to help a visually impaired person lead an active and independent life.
What is the primary purpose of this blog?
to inform readers about seeing-eye dogs
to entertain readers with stories about Lexie
to persuade readers to support service dogs
