<p>oh good. Do you remember any questions in that one?</p>
<p>Which section was the question with answer choices renegade and recluse?</p>
<p>don’t know, i only remember that renegade had to do with the artist.</p>
<p>the girl/mirrors one wasn’t too hard.</p>
<p>i remember one with the snakes/bugs and i put the answer as they encountered them without overreacting or something to that effect.</p>
<p>I put they weren’t fazed by them.</p>
<p>For the artist one I put recluse, but it is actually renegade. </p>
<p>Was the one with the girl and mirrors the same as the Shaw/Shakespeare passage?</p>
<p>What did u guys get for the “inspiration” one with the Shaw and shakespeare one? I put Greek tragedy, but I think its wrong. :(</p>
<p>I put playful for Shakespeare/Shaw as well. </p>
<p>Wakaka, for the animals mentioned in the eyes passage there were two which seemed very close, one talked about varying effects but I picked the other one I believed.</p>
<p>Was the one with the girl and mirrors the same as the Shaw/Shakespeare section??</p>
<p>What did u guys get for the “inspiration” one with the Shaw and Shakespeare one? I put Greek tragedy, but I think its wrong.</p>
<p>Some questions:</p>
<p>What was the answer for the one about the impressionist painter with de facto in the sentence? I put recluse, but I think its renegade now.</p>
<p>Was that in the same passage as the salmon one?</p>
<p>How about the one with Morgan and the daughter marrying. The first question after the passage, the question was what do the words suggest? I put he didn’t know what was going on, but it could have been he didn’t pay attention to detais in his family.</p>
<p>i don’t remember the 1st one at all</p>
<p>the daugther one, i’m pretty sure he has no clue wats going on</p>
<p>No clue, as not th details attention answer, right?</p>
<p>plz check if these are correct (some we are unsure about)
are there anymore iffy questions?</p>
<p>People who correct grammar:
- self-perseption?
- defiance OR playful tone?
The “small group of people” in the first passage would respond to the second passage (“reactions of horror at grammatical mistakes”) with:

-the development of an artist</p>
<p>Eye Passage
- Why are the different animals mentioned?

(what were the other choices to this one?)</p>
<p>**African quilt: **
-
- What does the last line mean?* : epiphany?</p>
<p>Conservatism
- How do the westerners regard African conservation?
-The answer was a) an unquestionable endeavor. This was in the beginning of the passage, which said that westerners thought that it was “a moral duty” to conserve the african wilderness. - Why are Richard Leakey, Goodall, and another archaelogist’s name mentioned in the beginning of the passage?
-To show that they are proponents of a certain approach to conservation. This was also in the passage; all of them believed that animals must be kept apart from the african natives. - What do the african natives think of the conservation parks?
-The parks are of no use to them. - What does the quote from the old guy (“animals must be kept in pristine parks”) demonstrate?
-An obsolete position (it has been proven untrue.)
- In context, what does “hold” mean? (“western notions of conservation don’t hold in Africa”)
- The answer is “Apply”.
- Why are American and African parks different?
-They were created for different purposes. The American parks preserve wilderness, while the African ones keep huge mammals
- How would the statement “conservation in Africa does not include the africans” be proven untrue?
- if we found out that unacknowledged african conservationists HAD participated in the construction of the parks
- What is the statement “The methods of conservation are now more sophisticated than they were 25, even 5, years ago”?
-“an assertion without evidence”. The author never explained how conservation had improved. - What does “coat of paint” mean in context? (New methods of conservation may not be really new, just the traditional ones with a new coat of paint. In that case, the cracks will show in a few years.)
-“To disparage an approach”</p>
<p>What would be an example of something from the last line of the first passage (“something that inspires”)
- An antislavery novel that galvanizes the abolition movement OR greek tragedy?</p>
<p>** Shakespeare: **
- the question people wanna ask: “Who’s better?”
– There was 1 question which i put “they write different types of plays,” dun remember the question.
*How would the author of the second passage regard Shaw’s idea of plays? *
-too restrictive for effective social commentary ORtoo cerebral for accomodating poetic impulses
*How do the two authors see Shakespeare? * - The first is mixed; the second praises his artistry</p>
<p>Woman fishing in Alaska; moved from New Hampshire passage</p>
<p>Why does the narrator feel that she “was too late”?
- Most of the wilderness in the East had disappeared by then.
How do the parents live/feel?
-They live in serene contentment.
What do the lines (I can’t recall) portray? - Vivid imagery
What is the feeling of the last sentence? - musing contentment/happiness
What does the description of the narrator’s house do? - Shows how unusual her lifestyle is.
- Shows how difficult her life is.
What is the line “my father’s people” for? - Gives insight into narrator’s history OR Accounts for misgivings of father about her profession??
*In the line where the father says “I would rather do a few surgeries for the money”, why would the narrator view this comparison as inappropriate?
- Positive things besides money resulted from her work OR Her income had no bearing on her standard of living.
What is the narrator’s assumption about her parents “wonderment” at her lifestyle? - They dislike a nonurban lifestyle OR They have a fear of hardships OR They appreciate basic comforts </p>
<p>Marriage passage
- What do the words “seem” and “nothing about it” show? (Beginning of passage.)
- The father has a limited sense of what is going on.
- What does the word “automatically” imply? (The family automatically set a place for Jim at their dinner table.)
- That Jim regularly visits the house and is a frequent guest
- In context, what does “Jim even helped them decide what color to paint the wall” mean?
- That this is something usually reserved for the family. Shows that Jim is getting to be part of the family.
- What does it mean when the father says “Reception?” in response to a question from his wife about the reception:
-He is surprised by the question, didn’t know that there would be a reception - The father feels:
-irrelevant - When the daughter says to him, “Please don’t wear one of your hats to the wedding,” what does this suggest?
-That his mode of dress embarrasses her.</p>
<p>**SCs: **
- Adolescence vs adult: respite OR sanctuary?
- the star one: fluctuations OR palpitations?
- "</p>
<p>I am not sure whether this was one of the ones you already posted about Shakespeare, but the one that I may have missed has to do with something along the lines of what question does he dare ask/bring up. I believe the two answers that made the most sense were “Who was a better writer Shakespeare or Shaw” and “What is more important to write about in poetry intellect or emotion?” - I couldn’t decide between the two, but I ended up putting intellect and poetry. Does anyone else remember this question?</p>
<p>For people who correct grammar, I’m pretty sure the tone was playful. Although you could say that the second part of that passage was defiant, it was more funny and understanding of the grammar snobs than it was defensive. Also, the word defiant doesn’t apply to the first part, whereas playful does.</p>
<p>For the African quilt passage, the last sentence showed ‘a reaction to an epiphany’. </p>
<p>Shakespeare v. Shaw: It’s definitely the antislavery novel. Shaw was talking about writing that inspired people to do something, even ‘give up their lives’ for a cause. A book that would fuel such a movement would fulfill Shaw’s idea of writing as an inspirational and effective social critique.</p>
<p>More questions and answers: The first answer was ‘shakespeare and shaw have different aims in writing’.
- ‘too cerebral to accommodate poetic impulses’</p>
<p>SCs: I said respite and fluctuations.</p>
<p>Woman fishing in Alaska: I said that the author mentioned her ‘father’s people’ to account for his misgivings. The entire beginning of the passage is talking about her history, and directly after she said ‘father’s people’, she talked about her father, who became a physician after his parents were coal-miners and is proud of it. The paragraph in question ended with her father’s expressing his doubts about the hardship of her life, saying ‘I’d rather do a few surgeries for the money.’ So ‘father’s people’ ----> ‘father’s misgivings’. Also, their ‘wonderment’ is from their ‘appreciation of basic comforts’, as they do not live in an urban environment (they live close to nature, by the lake) and her father at least is a physical person (he ice-skates and walks.)</p>
<p>I’m not sure if those are from this section, but there was one vocab about the class giving ambiguous remarks and a certain girl being refreshingly lucid(?) and there was one about a politician woman stressing constituent rights and “an antithesis of an Olympic champion”</p>
<p>8) What is the statement “The methods of conservation are now more sophisticated than they were 25, even 5, years ago”?
-“an assertion without evidence”. The author never explained how conservation had improved.</p>
<p>are you sure about this one? i put the choice that started with “d” …</p>
<p>More SC:</p>
<p>pandemic
prattle?</p>
<p>lucid is correct for that one</p>
<p>the polician woman one and olympic champion i don’t remember, could be experiemental</p>
<p>what was the student counsel rep one inciting “clamoring” within the audience? it was provocative, rite?</p>
<p>oh, and my argument for defiant… actually i don’t remember y i chose it. anyone else have a view on this q?</p>
<p>yea i remember putting down pandemic, but i dun think i put down prattle…
the q was something about a guy talking foolishly. anyone remember the other choices?</p>
<p>one SC has a choice,“rowdy…deceitful”</p>
<p>whats the answer?</p>
<p>for the foolishly one, one choice is impeity…i narrowed the answer down between impeity/prattle</p>
<p>pandemic - Affecting a whole people or a number of countries; everywhere epidemic. </p>
<p>prattle - 1. to talk in a foolish or simple-minded way; chatter; babble. </p>
<p>yes those are 100% correct, yay!!!</p>
