<p>does anyone remember the first q of the grandma passage.
the main idea the passage shows/ i put something like stirring and passioned experience (I can’t remeber the exact answer)</p>
<p>And another is the tone q in the italian folklore passage.
inspired and passioned vs cautious and rational. I put the former on but i am really not sure!!</p>
<p>@Bearbox about the laughing question for the Mama Day passage, why was the correct answer ’ a living thing ’ ? im pretty sure i didnt put that</p>
<p>i put “a living thing” too</p>
<p>it’s very “a living thing” cuz aunt’s laughter circled around me… <- part of passage I clearly remember and use it as fact to pick “a living thing”
there is cleary fact so a living thing is very right.</p>
<p>I put
FORCEFUL and DIRECT
pardon
living thing</p>
<p>Again anyone remember the tone q in the italian folklore passage???
inspired and passioned vs cautious and rational. I put the former on but i am really not sure!! </p>
<p>Also, what is the q referred to the “great cost” answer? can’t quite remember it</p>
<p>i put cautious and rational cuz i think the author is just expressing her understanding of all the folktale she read. She seems not quite passionate…but i’m probably wrong :/</p>
<p>the great cost q is the one asking the primary opinion of the author of the building passage.</p>
<p>The author is passionate and inspired about the details in folklore and not cautious at all. She contemplates those details as real in life…</p>
<p>anyone remember the meaning of “right” in folklore? i choose moral correctness :D</p>
<p>@wzy930712.
maybe failed in cost q…so what’s the q abt “estrange from the society” i can’t quite remember >.<</p>
<p>@Lucazzz
i don’t remember the right one. could u pleas show more details abt the answer choices?</p>
<p>There’s something like “clarify right from wrong” in the folklore. The question asks the meaning of “right”.</p>
<p>It was the one with something…accuracy.</p>
<p>@lucazzz
I remember… I chose moral correctness too.</p>
<p>These were my answers…the ones I remember.</p>
<ol>
<li>Grandma</li>
<li>irony was: suspicion is usually negative/ usually indicates narrowmindedness(?) </li>
<li>euphoria on going home vs never experienced before
-stirring experience</li>
<li>forceful and direct</li>
<li>gentle</li>
<li>half hearted humor </li>
<li>confrontational relationship</li>
<li>transition: general to specific </li>
<li>expecting visibly aging</li>
<li>intense pleasure ( quite frankly don’t remember this question at all) </li>
<li><p>laughter: living thing</p></li>
<li><p>identity short passages</p></li>

</ol>
<p>Italian folklore passage

<p>Monarch butterfly

-“anyone’s”:comprehensive view of his skepticism</p>
<p>SENTENCE COMPLETIONS
pardon
incorporate
aplomb
propitiate
opacity
licentious
apropos-anguish
critical-physical
auspicious
fortitude-inspired
tractable
antecedent
impasse
benefit-flourish
magnanimous-commendable (regrettably, my answer is wrong. affable-craven is the answer. when you look up the dictionary, complaisance is synonymous with agreeable, and agreeable is synonymous with affable + the definition of magnanimous itself is more like “kind” than “agreeable”)
loner</p>
<p>why is it forceful and direct? didn’t the author say the aunt had strong shoulders or smth wouldn’t that have been staturesque</p>
<p>@harvardhottie: the author says the aunt is small, but has strong shoulders. So she cant be “statuesque”, which means big and impressive. Beside, the answer should include “direct” which refers to her saying to the narrator.</p>
<p>@paperplanes: do you remember the context of loner?</p>
<p>i want toknow if “suspicion is negative” is choice E???</p>
<p>anyone remembers the answers to the identity dual passages? Did you guys put “Identity can be shaped by people themselves” or " identity can be shaped by situations" ?</p>
<p>I am so confused, and I just put the former without consideration… just running out of time…</p>
<p>again, why is the politically “tractable”? I put noxious.</p>
<p>the word “statuesque” usually describes a woman who is attractively tall and dignified. the narrator clearly states that he imagined the woman to be tall after listening to his wife’s childhood stories, but that in reality, the aunt was smaller. in this case, “forceful and direct” refer more to her persona that the narrator describes later in the passage.</p>
<p>@lucazzz: unfortunately, i don’t…:(</p>
<p>@lucazzz
I put “accuracy” but i am not sure. I think the whole passage is trying to say that folklore to some extant, is parallel to the real life. So “accuracy…wrong” means whether the stories are true or not.</p>
