<p>I noticed I messed up the ending of the Test 2 analysis. It was supposed to be like this.
after the question 16:
17. I locate the word and read the context. Trying to match with the context I end up with A and D as possible choices. Now what makes me choose D is that the critics seem to be <code>completely intact morally</code> (lines 58-59). Completely=absolutely, then they „can distinguish in an <code>absolute</code> manner“. D.
18. What is the „fatal loophole“? Fatal loophole > „theories themselves are symptoms of a universal stupefaction“ (lines 63-64). Let‘s see the choices. A – out of context. B – sounds like it. C – out of context. D – out of context. E – out of context. I can be confident with B.
19. I read the last paragraph. I get the idea that the author says that politicians are clearly victims of these theories („they found ready listeners among politicians“, lines 69-70, and the last sentence). I notice the somewhat aggressive language „dealing with millions of idiots“. Let‘s see the choices. A – seems fine, the author is making fun of politicians and does it in a harsh manner. B – no „emberrassment“ detected. C – no „puzzlement“ detected. D – there‘s certainly no „resignation“ here. E – no „sympathy“ here.</p>
