<p>Can someone explain questions 13 and 23 on page 457 and 458?</p>
<p>For #23, I was able to eliminate all but (b) and (d) and got stuck from there.</p>
<p>I don't understand #13 at all.</p>
<h1>13. The correct answer is A. Lines 18-21 juxtapose "self-wealth" and "economic exertions" of a man compared to a women. Lines 14-18 demonstartes the comparisions between middle class men and women. Lines 18-21 show the differences.</h1>
<p>(b) constantly evolving - never mentioned in the lines.
(c) the two keys to success - for a man yes, but the passage contrasts that to a women who would risk shame.
(d) essential to finding a husband - never mentioned about men/women; it is mentioned in the final paragraph of passage 1 but it has nothing to do with lines 18-21
(e) easy to achieve - never mentioned in the lines; used in lines 54-55 but it says it was difficult to achieve</p>
<h1>23</h1>
<p>The correct answer is (b).
Choice (d) is incorrect because righteous indignation means that the authors are justified in condemning the women of the period, which neither author does.
The authors both offer a tone of choice b, analytical detachment.
The authors talk about the experiences of middle-class women in an analytical fashion; passion 1 is from a work of social history and passag 2 is from a study of travel writings. The conclusions by each author are not made by the authors directly- they use other sources to gather most of their information, which would explain the "detachment" aspect.</p>
