<p>Could someone please explain the last sentence of the trabb boy paragraph on section 6 of BB test 10? It simply doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>“The disgrace attendant on his immediately afterwards taking to crowing and pursuing me across the bridge with crows, as from an exceeding dejected fowl who had known me when I was a blacksmith, culminated the disgrace with which I left the town, and was, so to speak, ejected by it into the open country.”</p>
<p>I understand that the person fled the town for the country, but what does the rest of the sentence mean?</p>
<p>Also, why is 17 not E? Don’t explain why it’s B; I understand, but why is it not E?</p>
<p>desperate bump!! Does nobody know what that sentence means??</p>
<p>what does “bump 10char” mean i always see it in threads all around</p>
<p>@misanthropic you need 10 characters to post and he wants to bump his post up so it’s recent and people will see it and hopefully reply. I honestly have no idea what the last sentence means other then he is fleeing the town due to shame!</p>
<p>not E because “nostalgic and proud” would mean he has positive feelings about the town. From the paragraph you can see that he feels uncomfortable and avoids everyone. The last sentence explains his negative feelings towards the town: “as from exceedingly dejected fowl who had known me when I was a blacksmith, culminated the disgrace with which I left the town, and was, so to speak, ejected by it into the open country”.
The first sentence might sound like he feels positive but after you take into the context the fact that he avoids others and the last sentence, you see that he is just surprised that it doesn’t feel so bad as he expected.</p>
