Beard Superiority Unlike most others who follow along with popular trends, I am able to truly see that the beard is superior to the mustache. First, you have so much more hair and space to work with when styling a beard than you do with a mustache. You can trim and cut a beard into so many styles: the Muttonchop, the Goatee, the Stubble, and the Chin Strap. You can even add things to your beard: braids, beads, glitter, and color possibilities of what you can add to a beard are endless! There are even professional competitions that surround the stylish nature of beards. Which of the following can be inferred from the evidence given in the passage?

A. No competitions exist for the best mustache.

B. The writer is a professional barber.

C. The writer enjoys having a beard.

D. Mustaches cannot easily be styled.

Answer Explanation:

The writer's enjoyment of having a beard can be inferred from the passage's positive portrayal of the various styling options and possibilities for beards, along with the mention of professional competitions related to beards.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

In fact, I learned that each family or clan has its own signature knitting pattern and some are able to tell which family someone belongs to by the pattern of their sweater! The Healy pattern is an interesting combination of twists and braids, and I found you a birthday souvenir with a beautiful example The next day, we rented bicycles and toured the island. We saw ancient ruins, a prehistoric hill fort, and a white sand beach. We also climbed down to a mysterious rock formation known as The Worm Hole" a rectangular hole in a stone shore that fills with thrashing waves and looks like it houses a terrible serpent (see attached photo).
