<p>well, i remember i was left with three choices possibility, familiarity and anxiety. i thought it was possibility but i found nothing from passage 2 that directly supported it</p>
<p>oh the answer was probably possibility … I referred to the last part of the last sentence of passage 2… arrg can’t remember it…</p>
<p>do you remember the context of perfidy??
so far, i only have the mistake of propitiate on sentence completion!!</p>
<ul>
<li>Aunt</li>
<li>Transition : General to specific
(I agree but I cant remember exactly “general to specific”, I put his perepective to his wife’s grandmother?)</li>
<li><p>Relationship of his wife and wife’aunt have once been : confratertanal?
(I dis agree cuz the line indicate that his think his wife’s aunt as very powerful cuz his wife tell about her clash with her aunt . so i think mutual oppressive though now confraternal relationship, once they are mutual oppressive)</p></li>
<li><p>Building</p></li>
<li><p>why too cost? the main idea is not this , though i cant clearly remember that is not correct.</p></li>
<li><p>VOCAB
perfidy is not correct cuz i think loner . perfidy dun make sense.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Im quite sure the answer was loner and not perfidy…loners enjoy being alone while perfidy means to cheat</p>

pardon
incorporate
aplomb
propitiate
opacity
licentious

perfidy (dont remember this one…)</p>
<p>Grandma
- irony: suspicion is usually negative
- paradise: never experienced before
- forceful and direct
- gentle (the context: he wanted to said something gentle cause he knew that “his future depends on this”)
- half hearted humor vs self mocking (i chose halfhearted humor but i know it’s wrong…)
- confrontational relationship
- transition: general to specific (from the whole scene to just 2 women)
- expecting visibly aging
- intense pleasure
- laughter: living thing</p>
<p>Short pair: identity
- sense of identity of both authors: conflicted vs integrated
- village: stable environment
- difference between the 2 authors: the author 2 views we can shape identity
- the author 2 views “the world beyond” in passage 1: opportunity </p>
<p>Italian folklore
- catalog: variety of experience
- one passage serves to evoke the author’s state of mind in a period
- parallels between folklore and real life
- frog: lowly appearance</p>
<p>Building
- the unsightly things
- which statement would discredit: they lived in unsafe flimsy houses in past
- “organism”: timeless and comprehensive entity
- estrange from society
- it comes at too great cost
- “design life”: conscious action</p>
<p>Monarch butterfly
- painstaking nature of an endeavour
- “anyone”: comprehensive view of skepticism
- author 1 responds: her conclusion is based on observational data
- author 2 views butterfly’s route as fortuitous
- open = unobstructed</p>
<p>Bearbox.
For both the aunt one and the building, I put the same answers as you…
But are u sure of these answers?? I dont want my hopes high lol…</p>
<p>For the self mocking vs half-hearted humor, I actually put reluctant acceptance. She said something like “We’re showing off for you today. Without my stick I can’t walk and the other lady has false teeth” or something like that. Since she said something about the other lady as well, doesn’t that mean it wasn’t just self-mocking but also mocking her? And wasn’t she reluctantly accepting the fact that she is older than she looks? Who else put reluctant acceptance?</p>
<p>The grandma one was a calamity for me.</p>
<p>Monarch butterfly
- painstaking nature of an endeavour
- “anyone”: comprehensive view of skepticism ( I dont remember but i think it is wrong)
- author 1 responds: her conclusion is based on observational data (i agree)
- author 2 views butterfly’s route as fortuitous (no i think instinct cuz auther2 says butterfly’s direction is not intended and he do not refer as fortuitous cuz they have something to go Mexico)
- open = unobstructed (i agree)
also i put - both agree : wind
- passage2’s attitude : dissmisive (cuz passage2’s auther think that passge1’s experiment is implemented by wrong observation)</p>
<p>Aunt
- confraternal ?? why (though overall realtionship is confrateranl, the problem’s question is that once have been and i can find fact that she once clash with her aunt and she tell this story to her husband so gregor think wife’s aunt is very strong)
- self-mock( i put humor but cuz half-hearted, humor is wrong …)
-transitio : gerneric to specific ( i agree but i dun remember exact sentence tell me what is exact sentence i just remember that his perspective to wife’s grandmather.)</p>
<p>-6 in cr already 
3’vocab 3 passages. I wonder how the curve of this test will be. How many wrong can still get you a 650?</p>
<p>@bearbox: can you please tell me 2 choices of the question confrontational and what??? was that confratertanal and other choice is oppressive?Thank you!!</p>

<p>The perfidy question went something like this ( i think)
while some people enjoy being with others, some people are certainly _____ .
loners should be the answer and not perfidy</p>
<p>And does anyone remember the options for the relationship between the authors wife and her aunt?</p>
<p>@iamthebist</p>
<p>I agree with your speach.</p>
<p>realtionship between the quthors wife and her aunt
- mutual oprressive
-confraternal - nonchalant
-? , -?
but the question’s core is that have <strong>once</strong> not genernal so i think mutual opressive
cuz she told her husband the story that she clashed with her aunt.</p>
<p>Anyone tell me about that SC of last section’s last question : unwarranted award ~ in fact this attempt ~ i put disingenuous and cogent.</p>
<p>realtionship between the quthors wife and her aunt
- mutual oprressive
-confraternal - nonchalant</p>
<p>but the question’s core is that have <strong>once</strong> not genernal so i think mutual opressive
cuz she told her husband the story that she clashed with her aunt. </p>
<p>i agree with mutual oppressive…acutally it is hard to choose between mutual oprressiv and confrontational</p>
<p>I put confrontational for the relationship since it asked what did those lines suggest about the relationship they had. The lines clearly said they had a confrontational relationship. It was not about the present but about the past.</p>
<p>For the self mocking vs half hearted humor, I think it was self mocking since she had she cant walk for two feel without her cane and her sis cant see without her glasses or something like that.</p>
