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? A.)Scrabble players will be especially pleased to have access to more two-letter, "q" without "u," foreign, and buzz words. B.)Merriam-Webster publishes the official Scrabble dictionary. C.)Tricking an opponent into challenging a newly legal word is a good Scrabble strategy. D.)It’s rare to draw both a "q" and a "u."

“heartwork each day is born with a sunrise and ends in a sunset, the same way we open our eyes to see the light, and close them to hear the dark. you have no control over how your story begins or ends. but by now, you should know that all things have an ending. every spark returns to darkness. every sound returns to silence. and every flower returns to sleep with the earth. the journey of the sun and moon is predictable. but yours, is your ultimate art.” ― suzy kassem what does this quote mean to you? and why? i'm not looking for anything in particular, i just wanted to know. : )
