Reading Comprehension in Context

<p>I need help with this reading comprehension question. I typed up the context. </p>

<p>“But she started to feel likeher old self again,
healthier, more relaxed, sleeping better. Dean had a lot to
do with it, she said. She was happy-or as happy as it was
possible for a poet to be. Unitl now. Until Marcella Ahn
suddenly arrived.”</p>

<p>The statement “she…be” suggest which of the following about poets?
A. They tend to be reclusive and uncommunicative
B. They are by nature inclined to be discontented
C. They rarely reveal their true feelings.
D. Their poetry is shaped by real and imaginary experiences.
E. Those who are most successful express a range of emotions in their poems.</p>

<p>CAn you explain how you found your answer as well.</p>

<p>how does that passage involve poets? is she a poet?</p>

<p>yup, yup, yup,</p>

<p>It has to be B. It says she was only as happy as poets can be, which implies that poets in general are not capable of being very happy. B describes this perfectly, while the others do not.</p>

<p>^ I agree. It’s definitely B.</p>

<p>I agree with B, too.</p>

<p>A.
Why is it B?</p>

<p>I think we need to see the whole passage.</p>

<p>yup B. is the answer</p>

<p>I say b.</p>

<p>“happy-or as happy”</p>

<p>agreed. B.</p>

<p>btw, where did you get this question from.</p>

<p>I think it’s B.
it implies that poets are never really happy.</p>

<p>Shadow the reason why it is not A, is because based on the context of this quote (which the question is referring to- NOT to the whole passage), you do not get a sense of a poet’s communication skills. However, you do get a sense of their emotions, and yes, I agree it’s B. lol (I like to overkill)</p>

<p>yah its B…I did this for a practice test…its because by saying shes as happy as a poet could be or whatevers is saying that she was the happiest any poet could get therefore indicating that poets arent normally happy wth their work. </p>

<p>does tht make sense…LOL</p>

<p>in my opinion it can be either A or B,
but most probably its B cause happiness and discontent make sense
whereass happiness and uncommunicative…not really
anyway, the whole passage should be thoroughly read for an 100% accurate decision</p>
