The manuscripts of the eight extant Latin tragedies identify the lays as the Marci Lucii Annei Senecae Tragoediae. Since nobody of that name is known. modern scholars believe the dramas to be the work of Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, the well-known philosopher, orator, and politician. Clearly, the tragedies were written during Seneca's lifetime: internal references to earlier poets, most notably Ovid, indicate that the dramas cannot have been composed prior to the second decade C E, and the plays must have been written by 96 C.E., when Quintilian quotes Medea, one of the tragedies.

It is remarkable, however that Seneca himself never mentions the plays, since there are certainly passages in them that could be used to illustrate points of his philosophy. There are at least two possible explanations In the early Roman Empire, playwrights were sometimes exiled or executed for lines construed as directed against the emperor; thus, Seneca's silence may be simple prudence. But if anyone could safely attach his name to dramas surely it would be Seneca, the emperor's tutor. And although Herrmann offers Seneca's modesty as an explanation, Seneca is not averse to referring to his other writings. The evidence for equating Seneca with the author of the tragedies seems circumstantial.
The author implies which of the following about Seneca's status as the emperor`s tutor?
The author of the passage makes which of the following claims about the eight extant Latin tragedies?
Each of the following assertions consistent with Seneca's authorship of the plays appears in the passage EXCEPT:
All the music from fourteenth-century Europe for which written scores survive is so complex and is written in such difficult notation that it could have been played only by musicians whose lives were dedicated solely to such performance. Yet fourteenth-century European accounts, which in this respect probably give accurate portrayals of their times, describe many members of the nobility who excelled not only in musical performance, but also in dancing poetry, and painting.
The statements given, if true, most strongly support which of the following?
More appropriate water pricing would promote the treatment and reuse of urban wastewater for agricultural irrigation and also encourage improvements in irrigation efficiency. Treatment and reuse is more expensive than most irrigation-related conservation and efficiency measures but often less expensive than developing new water sources. Wastewater contains nitrogen and phosphorus which can be pollutants when released to lakes and rivers but are nutrients when applied to farmland. Moreover, unlike many other water sources. treated wastewater will be both an expanding and fairly reliable supply, since urban water use will likely double by 2025. Many large cities located along coastlines currently dump their wastewater treated or untreated, into the ocean, rendering it unavailable for any other purpose and harming coastal marine life.
Which of the following does the author suggest as an incentive to the development of more efficient irrigation?
Which of the following does the author present as generally the most cost-effective way of meeting demand for water for irrigation?
In A Fine Brush on Ivory, his appreciation of novelist Jane Austen, Richard Jenkyns remarks that in Austen scholarship there are pressures that cause ordinary critical circumspection to break down. Principal among those pressures is the peculiar affection in which the person of Jane Austen is held by many readers. This affection is not altogether explained by admiration for her genius, nor is it entirely a symptom of nostalgia for her orderly decorous, vanished world. The impulse to know personally this elusive, even mysterious, writer has led critics to approach her work in mostly biographical or historical ways, often in defiance of other critical fashions, especially the various formal approaches that have dominated modern literary criticism.
According to the passage, critics approach Jane Austen`s work in biographical or historical ways for which of the following reasons?
