The following paragraph is the same as in the previous question.  It is reproduced here for your convenience.    When I started college, I quickly discovered that my high school study habits would have to change if I wanted to be successful. In high school, I hardly ever studied and managed to make good grades; however, in college, all my professors assigned a tremendous amount of homework every night. For example, in two night’s time, I was assigned 30 pages of reading for history, 15 pages of reading for composition, 60 pages of reading for psychology, and I was required to watch two TED Talks for art history. On top of all the reading, I had to draft a history essay and create an outline for composition. This massive amount of work took several hours per night to complete. As a result of all this homework, my free time became very limited. Nights out with friends and time spent watching TV were replaced with reading assignments, group projects, learning activities, and research. My college classes kept me so busy that I could only go out on Saturday nights. This kind of schedule was a big change from high school, where I used to play sports, have fun, and go out every other night.   Which of the following sentences is the best example of using specific detail in the paragraph above?

The following passage is the same one you read for question one.  It is reproduced here for your convenience.  Answer the question that follows the passage.        Grit can be more than irritating particles in a person’s eye or pebbles in a shoe. Grit can also be a personal trait of having passion combined with perseverance. This type of grit is found in people who are tough and persistent. However, grit means so much more than just making sure there is passion to strive and succeed.  Grit is also having the courage and strength to help others.  A popular movie, Step Up 3,  illustrates this second concept of grit.  Throughout the course of the movie, two groups of dancers (The House of Pirates and The House of Samurai) come against each other for the battle that will change their lives. Although both groups show the basic characteristics of grit, the House of Pirates show the most important ones in their concern for one another. Clearly this House shows more grit because unlike the House of Samurai, they are not selfish, they encourage each other, and they become family. Question:  The following words or phrases serve what function in this paragraph: “However,” “ throughout the course of the movie,” “also,”and“Although”?
