<p>@strom “wild or excessive” might also disqualify fanaticism. Is it really “wild or excessive” because some penguins decided to stay where they were. The devotion part does fit, which is why I’m leaning more towards it. </p>
<p>We have to think about how the CB thinks about it though. Would they use fanaticism or pluralism? I know that in the passages, extremes like fanaticism wouldn’t fit but I’m not sure if that rule applies to SC. Pluralism doesn’t fit as well either but it seems like something the CB would use.</p>
<p>i picked pluralism because the penguins appeared more to be wanting to stick together than anything else mentioned in the sentence completion… if there were so many birds, and the tendency was that very few left the island… i don’t see where the wild zeal or obsession is although we personally might draw that from our own conclusions? i also don’t see the argument for atavism because if it has to do with going back to ancestral habits/characteristics, there was no mention of ancestors at all?</p>

<p>Capacity vs. preference</p>
<p>Peregrination: Movement v. exploration</p>
<p>I put preference because it wasn’t about her capacity of friends but her preference of friends (choosing people she wanted to be friends with and using her skills to deny people who weren’t up to par).</p>
<p>I put exploration because it is a course of travel/ journey. From the context, I remember the way “movement” was used, it didn’t suggest that the tectonic plates “moved” but rather the scientists were trying to start a movement to convince others that their theory was valid. I put exploration because a journey is similar to exploring and would fit the context because they were exploring the theory of tectonic plates. I could be wrong but someone should try to find the passage.</p>
<p>capacity vs preference? i put capacity then switched to suitability because it said it should her generousness as well as her prickliness she was capable of dropping her friends<br>
i thought capacity was put there as a trick for “capable of” – it didn’t seem right to me
for peregrination i put movement because they interchanged the word drift in continental drift with continental peregrination so i assumed it had something to do with drifting or moving</p>
<p>In due course, she brought him to the house ad presented him to her parents, who were initially gracious, if a touch cool.</p>

<p>They were married at Finsbury Town Hall. The witnesses were Matts friend Lucas Talbott and Lornas old school friend Elaine, who was in a lather of excited anxiety and kept repeating, I dont know what your parents are going to say</p>
<p>She was in a lather of excited anxiety (lather means an agitated state!!!) so it is clearly the correct answer</p>
<p>for transformation, i marked it wrong because nothing was transforming :s
the whole layout of pangaea was being moved around but nothing was physically being morphed into something else</p>
<p>I put " preference" since the character talking about different attitudes put forth to different friends. </p>
<ul>
<li>I put “movement” since the passage or that certain paragraph was talking about the movement of the land masses - so I thought exploring the land masses was awkward</li>
</ul>
