Read the following passage from "the tall woman and her short husband." though the tailor's wife was indefatigable she failed to discover how this incongruous couple who passed daily before her eyes had come to marry. she found this most frustrating; it posed a formidable challenge. on the basis of her experience, however, and by racking her brains she finally came up with a plausible explanation: either husband or wife must have some physiological deficiency. otherwise no one would marry someone a whole head taller or shorter. her ground for this reasoning were that after three years of marriage they still had no children. the residents of unity mansions were all convinced by this brilliant hypothesis. but facts are merciless. the tailor's wife was debunked and lost face when mrs. tall appeared in the family way. after reading these paragraphs, what can the reader most likely conclude about how the tailor's wife feels toward mrs. tall and mr. short? (1 point) she respects the unusual nature of their relationship. she is irritated with them for disproving her theories. she pities them because of their physical abnormalities. she dislikes them because they are standoffish and aloof.

On november 17, 1968, football fans across the united states sat glued to their televisions. a close game between two top teams—the new york jets and the oakland raiders—was being broadcast. when the jets pulled ahead with only fifty seconds remaining, viewers went wild. but then, just as the raiders were bringing the ball across midfield, the game disappeared from the screen! in its place, a previously scheduled children's movie, heidi, started playing. callers flooded the tv network's phone lines, but it was too late. the raiders scored two touchdowns in the very final moments—touchdowns that were unseen by all but west coast viewers. as a result of the interrupted event, dubbed "the heidi game," television networks began delaying their regularly scheduled programs until football games had ended.
