The bagel data also reflect how much personal mood seems to affect honesty. Weather, for instance, is a major factor. Unseasonably pleasant weather inspires people to pay at a higher rate. Unseasonably cold weather, meanwhile, makes people cheat prolifically; so do heavy rain and wind. Worst are the holidays. The week of Christmas produces a 2 percent drop in payment rates—again, a 15 percent increase in theft, an effect on the same magnitude, in reverse, as that of 9/11. Thanksgiving is nearly as bad; the week of Valentine’s Day is also lousy, as is the week straddling April 15. There are, however, a few good holidays: the weeks that include the Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Columbus Day. The difference in the two sets of holidays? The low-cheating holidays represent little more than an extra day off from work. The high-cheating holidays are fraught with miscellaneous anxieties and the high expectations of loved ones.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of this paragraph? A. Different emotional states affect people’s honesty. B. Some holidays cause people to be less honest. C. Cold weather causes an increase in dishonesty. D. Holidays and cold weather may cause anxiety.

Are the verb tenses in the sentence consistent, or do they shift unnecessarily? Yesterday during the storm, the wind blows hard, and it knocked down the fence.

Answers

The verb tenses are not consistent, they shift unnecessarily.
It should be: Yesterday during the storm, the wind blew hard, and it knocked down the fence.
There is no reason why the verb blow should be in the present tense.

In the poem “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, the raven repeats the word nevermore in response to the speaker’s questions. What effect does this response have on the speaker? 1)The speaker feels less disturbed about the loss of Lenore. 2)The speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness.
3)The speaker begins to get a sense of closure about losing Lenore.
4)The speaker goes into a trance and forgets about his pain over Lenore.

Answers

The correct answer is 2) The speaker’s mental state shifts more and more toward madness. 

This is because as the poem closes, the word nevermore occurs in more and more depressing situations because it is the only word the raven can say, and the poet asks him questions to which that can be the only answer. These questions become maddening and more depressing as time goes by.
If you haven't read "The Raven", here's some necessary information you need to know in order to answer this question.

As the speaker, or narrator, thinks about the situation, he starts to hallucinate about angels that appear and swing an “unseen censer.” They even start spreading perfume around the room. He connects the perfume to be something called Nepenthe. This is a mythical drink that works somewhat like an antidepressant. This causes him to cry aloud that nepenthe would help him forget about Lenore. The raven only replies "Nevermore" as it had always been replying before.

This proves that the correct answer should be option 2 )  the speaker's mental state shifts more and more toward madness.
