Explanation:

A beginning piano player should regularly practice on an upright or even better, grand piano instead of an electronic keyboard.
Keyboards can be convenient to transport, but unless a student has first learned to use a piano, he or she will be at a disadvantage.
Pianos are created with weighted keys. Although some electronic keyboards have weighted keys, most cannot achieve the same
heaviness as a real piano. The weightiness of the keys helps to strengthen the finger muscles and allows a student to learn better
technique and control. It is much easier to go from playing on a piano to playing on a keyboard, than to switch from playing on a
keyboard to a piano.
Which sentence least supports the controlling idea?
OA.
Lack of practice on a piano can sometimes lead to a bad hand technique.
ОВ.
Some music can require a lot of hand strength, and this is best achieved by using a piano.
OC.
Practicing on a keyboard does not allow a piano student's fingers to develop strength.
OD
A piano looks more authentic as an instrument than any type of electronic keyboard

ead the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 1. CASSIUS. But it is doubtful yet, Whether Caesar will come forth today or no; For he is superstitious grown of late,750 Quite from the main opinion he held once Of fantasy, of dreams and ceremonies: It may be these apparent prodigies, The unaccustomed terror of this night, And the persuasion of his augurers,755 May hold him from the Capitol today. DECIUS. Never fear that. If he be so resolved I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear That unicorns may be betrayed with trees, And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,760 Lions with toils, and men with flatterers; But when I tell him he hates flatterers; He says he does, being then most flattered. Let me work; For I can give his humour the true bent, And I will bring him to the Capitol.765 Which conclusion does this excerpt best support
