WHAT ELSE</p>

<p>tooting a paper horn?? id say thats slightly mocking oneself</p>

<p>I don’t remember the answer, but satirize is not correct I’m pretty sure.</p>

<p>NOOOO infinitismal (whatever) was wrong! Im sure</p>

<p>Ohhh snapppp… it WAS infinitisemal.</p>

<p>What question?</p>

<p>^^Yes, it’s not satirize, it’s character or wtvr.
^No, I’m pretty sure it IS infinitesimal</p>

<p>i put shamelessly conceited.</p>

<p>however, as i reflect on it it sounds REAALLY extreme.</p>

<p>I mean throughout the passage, the author was not really conceited. she merely was satirizing everyone about the adventure of her job as an archeaologist, so i would have to say mild ridicule.</p>

<p>anyone agree with my reasoning?</p>

<p>Twas not give me the correct answer than.</p>

<p>Infinitesmal means small, which correctly fit the blank.</p>

<p>what was the question?</p>

<p>what were the five possible answer choices for tooting one’s horn??</p>

<p>I put humble as well.</p>

<p>WHAT? I thought the conceited one is about celebrity, writer and gaining fame not garbage colletor.</p>

<p>was bane the answer to one… or the one with infinitesimal?</p>

<p>For the bane one, bane is in B but I put A, anyone recall that?</p>

<p>“what were the five possible answer choices for tooting one’s horn??”</p>

<p>I’m not sure if this is the same question, but I put “to show that he’s a dedicated writer.”</p>

<p>I think I was way off…</p>

<p>I put A too but i forgot what the first word was… i chose the one with infinitesimal.</p>

<p>Wait, what was the question about infinitesimal, was it experimental?</p>

<p>she says she didn’t answer their question how they wanted to but she enjoyed it. exactly. so that means she is humble in admitting she didn’t answer the question. she was humble because she wasn’t arrogant or assertive. Cavalier means “marked by or given to offhand and often disdainful dismissal of important matters”. and a less technical definiton would be haughty or disdainful. Do we ever see her showing disdain or haughtiness towards the reporter’s question? enjoying something IMO doesn’t imply disdain.</p>
