I decided to try harder, _______ I didn't know what that meant because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't _________.

One more test before the final exam. So I worked even harder and, for the first time, learned the meaning of the word "thorough". But my effort did no good and_______ stayed as before.

The last hurdle was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses. I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even relaxed myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I'd have with a test.
