<p>We are definitely remembering it differently.</p>
<p>May I just point out that, since it was the first question of that passage, it should have been categorized as “easy.” Thus, I believe that it’s a question where your gut instinct is almost always correct.</p>
<p>I know that infer/imply questions are always considered “hard,” but at least for the case of that question, I don’t think it was supposed to invoke intensive speculation.</p>
<p>I’m dying to know what you chose instead of ‘belittling.’ Do you honestly not remember?</p>
<p>I really don’t. Then hopefully I did choose that belittling one, since you sound more convincing now. The other answer I was contending about said “the author didn’t feel the same way his classmates did” or something along that line. To me they both sound correct. I would have chosen either or if one wasn’t there. But may be I AM remembering the question wrong, who knows. I’m just crossing my finger</p>
