For the second question, "What is the central idea of 'A Meeting in the Dark'?", you marked option A) "John fails to face his dilemma," as the correct answer. However, to determine the central idea of a story, it's important to consider the overall message or theme that the author is trying to convey. In this case, the central idea of "A Meeting in the Dark" is actually about the importance of facing one's fears and taking responsibility for one's actions. The story demonstrates how John confronts his dilemma and ultimately makes a decision. Therefore, the correct answer would be option B) "John manages to face his dilemma."
For the third question, "Which of the following sentences contains a verb in the passive voice?", you marked option B) "In a large vault, the diamonds are kept safe." as the correct answer. The passive voice in a sentence occurs when the subject of the sentence receives the action of the verb. In this case, the subject "diamonds" receives the action of the verb "kept." Therefore, your answer is correct. Option B) is indeed the sentence that contains a verb in the passive voice.
