<p>What exactly do you want?</p>

5

<p>I’d like to know if my answers are correct or not.</p>

6

<p>Really, I think that’s asking too much in one post. I’m too lazy tonight to put forth that much effort. Perhaps someone else will help.</p>

<p>Alright. I tried them and I got 5 answers that were different from yours. #13, 18, 20, 22, and 24. Let me explain my reasoning.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>He describes his task in a negative way “frowning; pencil as a scalpel,” so the word must describe his negative nature hence laboriously. </p></li>
<li><p>In the passage, Tyne indicates that his peers make fun of him and that he jeeps to himself. Since Tyne is not “familiar” or forward with his coworkers he wonders how he could be questioned for his apparent diligence. </p></li>
<li><p>Tyne goes to throw out blank sheets of paper in the trash can to “by himself time.” in the previous sentence, Tyne mentioned that he felt “fear.” Usually when one confronts fear, one does not want to face it. Hence B.</p></li>
<li><p>In previous sentences, the passage indicates that Son received his position due to “nepotism” or status rather than merit. The passage also mentions that “Dombey frowned at Son” and that Son used fancy language like “per se.” Hence Son needs to feel important by adding his advice. D.</p></li>
<li><p>The narrator says that Tyne’s face is “burning;” he is embarrassed. His co-worker underscores, or highlights,</p></li>
</ol>

<p>his embarrassment by the “rude laughter” at Tyne. Hence C.</p>

<p>I believe these answers are correct; however, I would like further input from the community. </p>

<p>Do you have the actual answers?</p>

<p>(Sorry for making separate posts!)</p>

<p>I don’t have the actual answers. No worries about separate posts! Thanks, Syndekit! I second guessed myself on a couple of the questions; I originally had your answers, for a couple of questions; however, the ones that I didn’t understand (guessed on, and got wrong), you were able to clear up for me. Thanks, again!</p>
