| princessbell: i chose that one too.
For the Dee/quilt passage, narrator most critical of her..hypersensitivity? i was debating between that or self-centeredness. |

| I thought it was self-centeredness, because she didn't think about her mom's feelings or Maggie's and demanded she have it, and even physically stepped away from her mom when she tried to take it from her.
I remember not putting flowers and weeds as the answer, but I wasn't sure so you two are likely right.
Do you guys remember what letters you mostly answered for the obasam passage? I left it til last and ran out of time and randomly marked A for 3 of them.
What did you say for the poem about sleep, when the guy said "put thy poppy around my bed" or something, and it asked what poppy was.
I will randomly remember some more questions in the next few hours.
Hope everyone did well! | |

| Did you describe Maggie in the first passage as diplomatic or self-denying? Or something else? | |

| harvey33: i marked "narcotic" since i assumed poppies referred to opium, the sleep-inducing drug extracted from the seed pods of opium poppies.
yeah, i'm pretty sure it's "self centered" for the Dee passage..hypersensitive seems too extreme. darn.
what did you guys select for the question in the Obasan passage , "what is the author referring to for "rag like...dust covered""? i chose "dangling corpses on spiderwebs" but not too sure on that one. | |

| hmm..for some reason i don't recall seeing "self-denying" in the answer choices. i chose the answer with "introspective" in it..but "self-denying" sounds stronger to me at the moment. | |

| I put self centeredness, narcotics, melancholy and spiderwebs  . Spiderwebs because he talked about how the spiders were irritating just after. I don't remember the flower question, wasn't the last one about a lady whose husband died? Or was it the guy who didn't cry when his gf left?
The Shakespeare one totally eluded me, I was alright other than that. | |

| oh and what was the question about how "spiders are indelicate"
i said I and III
I was that it was an understatement
and III was in contrast to the next sentence which said "spiders are creepy" or something like that | |
