<p>what does it mean by 2 long passages. is that the shapkespeare one?</p>

<p>“To temper optimism” is a commonly used phrase.</p>

<p>I also got temper on tht one…I don’t remember the Q now but yes temper did make perfect in the sentence and fitted in very well.</p>

<p>Yay Section 2. Now I can sleep a bit more peacefully…The questions in section 2 caught me off-guard.They were weird…and I had to skip a few Q as well.</p>

<p>@bluewasabi:It does not matter. This is the only one which had Section 3 reading and Section 5 writing.</p>
