Jacob’s favorite short story is titled “Greatest of Ease.” It’s about a circus trapeze artist recovering after a particularly nasty fall. Jacob writes a review of the story on his blog and includes the following quotes: “He hobbled into the tent on his crutches so that he might see the rigging where he lost his footing.” “The physical therapy was painful and frustrating, but he performed his exercises every day.” “He barely slept the night before his first training session—not out of nervousness, but from excitement.” How are these pieces of textual evidence related? A. They support the analysis that trapeze acts are dangerous without the proper safety equipment. B. They support the analysis that the trapeze artist is a determined character who will perform again. C. They support the analysis that physical therapy is painful and frustrating for both the patient and the therapist. D. They support the analysis that people attend circus performances because they like to see trapeze acts.
