Official Dec Test (CR-Shakespeare, Autobiography-brother Dennis)

<p>which question, glueeater?</p>

<p>What did Passage 1 not list as a qualification for the “test”?</p>

<p>I said involvement in the royal court, since nowhere in the text did anybody ever mention the word “royal.” Passage 1 stated that de Vere had knowledge of the courts, and was in the highest circles, but not necessarily involvement in the courts. </p>

<p>Also, the wording of the other one was something like “profitably making plays available to the public.” I was thinking about that choice since it wasn’t really stated explicitly in the text, but then I realized that was exactly what Shakespeare DID, and since the author of Passage 1 was claiming de Vere was Shakespeare, then he or she must agree with it. The wording of the choice wasn’t “making plays available to the poor”, but rather, the public…meaning rich people included.</p>

<p>the qualification one.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>but would that not be royal? just because the exact word royal wasnt there doesnt mean they didnt talk about it.</p>

<p>they talked about aristocratic ways of life…high circles</p>

<p>one more thing, guys.</p>

<p>i am pretty sure i remember a question that asked about the meaning of truth in the context of the passage. but i dont remember which passage or what the answer was. anyone remember?</p>

<p>Aristocratic circles are not necessarily royal…</p>

<p>Also, Shakespeare DID write plays for the public.</p>

<p>I remember the truth question too, but I forgot the answer.</p>

<p>did anyone get the journal entry passage? one of the questions was on the use of “(1960?1961?)” within the passage.</p>

<p>I think the answer to the question about the boy who liked the governess was that he thought lowly of his own prospects. It asked about what the description implied, and it described him as not being especially good looking and said that he “duly” fell in love with the governess.</p>

<p>GREAT JOB ANDREAAAAAA!!! THANK YOU!!!</p>

<p>Here are the final three Sentence Completion answers!
17. Legendary … Mythic (Houdini)
18. Insignificant … Influential (in advertising insignificant points can lead to influential results)
19. Exonerated (she insisted on her innocence and demanded to be exonerated)</p>

<p>19 for 19!!!</p>

<p>Yup, that’d be it.</p>

<p>how do you think this curve is guys? -7 or -8 here</p>

<p>Wow, is it EVER that low?</p>

<p>I have to disagree on the Shakespeare one.</p>

<p>I BELIEVE the question was somewhere along the lines of:
According to Passage 1, a playwright must do all of the following EXCEPT:</p>

<p>IF that was the question (and I did not misread it), the answer is profitably staging plays.</p>

<p>The author of passage one states that a playwright must be a sort of “Renaissance man” (it didn’t state this directly but it certainly implied it) or of nobility/aristocratic status. It IMPLIED that a playwright must have no concern over finances when the author of passage one disparaged Shakespeare for his apparent concern of money (someone about how we was a horse handler or something and was concerned over shillings; once again, I don’t remember the wording, but I do remember it being there). Therefore, a playwright WOULD NOT consider staging PROFITABLE plays for he/she should supposedly have no financial concerns.</p>

<p>As far as involvement in royal courts goes: Although the passage does not explicitly state that a playwright should be involved, it does say that he/she should have knowledge about law/government which implies it. Trick answer, but true.</p>

<p>EDIT</p>

<p>I think the point here is to completely disregard Passage 2 and only look at Passage 1 when answering the question.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>that is the answer i have up there. what are you disagreeing with?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>thanks gobletoffire. you seem to have a good memory. do you remember the truth question? i think it might have been from the scientific question.</p>

<p>I was disagreeing with Marimare. I didn’t read through all the psots.</p>

<p>oh, okay, i thought you were talking to me.</p>

<p>and does anyone remember a question with the answer “give an example”…it was something about how what is the purpose of lines xx-yy…i think it might have been in the science passage.</p>

<p>for the answer with indeed in shakespare. the answer was something like concede to the point. was that answer choice a. or like c.</p>

<p>In the governess one, she was a governess because she needed to support herself financially right? And what did the gate thing signify? And was one of the answers “events that consecutively followed her learning the magic tricks”? That one was near the end.</p>

<p>“I think the answer to the question about the boy who liked the governess was that he thought lowly of his own prospects. It asked about what the description implied, and it described him as not being especially good looking and said that he “duly” fell in love with the governess.”</p>

<p>Geoffrey, the fact that duly was used shows that it was an action that should naturally occur. Earlier in the passage, it says that young men like the governess, and Edward does too, just “like other young men love her” – the answer choice (something like that)</p>
