What does the author mean on page 4 in Passage 2 when he says that Sir Kay "played his
hand like a major-and took every trick"?

Sir Kay was not easily fooled.
Sir Kay played his cards like an expert.
Sir Kay was not easily beaten.
Sir Kay told his tale like an expert.

Sir Kay was not easily fooled

Explanation:

this is using figurative language so can't be second option, it's saying he's good at what he does so not third option and last option makes no sense to what the question is asking

i'm not sure what the second paragraph is but a decree is an official order issued by legal authority. find the one that best fits this definition.

a. she is a young, beautiful woman who deeply cares about her husband.

is correct
