Answers:
4. a. Evidence may be found in lines 23–24, which state that today’s models are quirkier and less perfect than the supermodels.
5. c. A resumé is literally the summary of one’s job experience, education, and skills. The author is saying that there is nothing one can say about these models except that they look great; their figurative resumé has only one item on it. Being great-looking isn’t work experience (choice a), one would not literally list “great-looking” alone on a resume (choices b and d), and pathos is a feeling of pity or sorrow (choice e).
6. e. To wax means to become, and rhapsodic means excessively enthusiastic. Although rhapsodic can also mean like a musical composition of irregular form, this definition does not fit with the rest of the sentence.
