10RS verbal questions -- help needed!!!

<p>Please help!!! This is a question from the 2nd ed. page 307, question 5. For those with other editions, it's in the March 1994 SAT, section 5. </p>

<p>What I don't get is that the author has said that he was dissapointed and how he couldn't feel freedom, exhilaration, etc. So doesn't that count as 'psychological agitation' in an attempt to qualify his judgement of the prairie, by listing out these effects on him as proof? Or does psychological agitation mean something along the lines of what a mentally deranged maniac would experience? </p>

<p>Studyhall (Untitled</a> Document) says that in line 32 the author's implying he's subjective in his judgement of the prairie, but isn't he only talking about the part where he wouldn't remember the place with pleasure or desire to, and not like judgements in the whole passage?</p>

<p>And also in question 9 of the same passage, why is D not accepted? I thought the last line actually mentioned 'of our pioneer songs', which we as readers probably do not know the context of which 'sunset region' is in. I can understand why visualising the plants and animals is the correct answer but what differentiates the two such that C and not D is correct???</p>

<p>Any help would be MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated, thank you all so much!</p>
