<p>Question 23:
From the passage I got a feeling that the author was sort of depressed by the changing of the neighborhood. “One road, shaded by beeches, oaks, maples, and chestnuts, connected it to the valley. The beeches are gone now, and so are the pear trees where children sat and yelled down through the blossoms to passerby”- has a sense of nostalgia in which the person is remembering something from the past rather fondly. Also strong words such as “They are going to RAZE the Time and Half Pool Hall…” and so forth. Lots of examples that show that E is correct in that the author is a sad observer of a transformation.</p>
<p>Question 24:
Incongruity means a disagreement or something along that line. The Bottom connotes a meaning of being at… the bottom or the lowest place in something. Yet according to line 4-5: “[the neighborhood] stood in the hills above the valley town of Medallion…”
So the answer is E in that it is located in the hills above a valley.</p>
<p>Thank you for help…but I need26…not 24.
Check it out?</p>
<p>Oh sorry haha my eyes deceived me there!
Question 26: (I will assume the writer is a she)
It is important to remember that the author is rather nostalgic about the past and fondly remembers what used to be in the valley/neighborhood. But notice that at the beginning of the second paragraph she says that “it is just as well, since it wasn’t a town anyway…” It seems as if she kind of shrugged this sense of sorrow off her shoulder and shifted her attention to a particular aspect of the community that re-establishes her nostalgia of the past. In the first paragraph, however, she richly describes the setting of the town and all the fond memories she had from it. Answer A is thus the answer. </p>
<p>B: Never once in this passage did the author establish any tone of frustration for the neighborhood’s reluctance to change. To me, it seemed as if she went from nostalgia to apathy back to nostalgia.
C: She also didn’t establish any sense of excitement in the future… in fact that was never even any talk of the future so you can immediately cross this one out
D: Since when did she ever set a tone of outright disapproval? The most negative feeling she set for this passage was apathy and that’s about it for negativity
E: The passage never explained why there was change in the neighborhood (the reasons)… only that the neighborhood changed</p>
<p>Sometimes it’s easier to look at the other multiple choices and see that they are not supported by the passage to find the answer that is indeed supported by the passage although not the answer you had spontaneously assumed while reading the question.</p>
