<p>I have repetitious posts in previous threads, but I want more discussion, so here it goes....</p>

<p>The narrator says something about dilapidation. </p>

<p>I know many people here said that it's paradoxical because of the striking contrast between the two different conditions, but now I remember that I didn't like the choice because I didn't like the word "digression" in the choice. I thought the parenthetical insert was more like a commentary. Also instead of "paradox," IRONY would be better word to describe a school of a beautiful art form being taught in a dilapidated building.</p>

<p>Of course, I still respect many of your different interpretations, and the purpose of this thread is to invite discussions. I just feel obstinate about this question because if I were wrong, it would have been a silly overlooking by me...:-(</p>

<p>the author making a comment is a digression because she is going off the subject of ballet into a little aside. It can be thought of as a paradox. If ballet is such a beautiful thing, then one when would expect the institutions that support it to be just as beautiful but they are not.</p>

3

<p>I still cannot help thinking that Irony would have been better than paradox...And since it is relevant to ballet in general, it doesn't sound to be digressive....but thanks for your comment. Anyone else?</p>

4

<p>What were the other choices on the paradox question? I don't remember it!</p>

5

<p>what was the full choice for irony?</p>

6

<p>well, there was no irony, in fact. I just meant that if irony were used, I would have picked that one. </p>

<p>I chose disclosure/revelation, but now revelation sounds too dramatic.</p>

<p>In a nutshell, I didn't like all of the choices.</p>

<p>P.S: what about "steps"? I chose movements.</p>

<p>P.P.S: I thought I got the whole verbal section right, but it seems I could get 2 wrongs from the ballet passage.</p>

7

<p>i put movements also</p>

<p>but it seems I got that riddle/fable one wrong from another passage because I put a choice no one here seems to have put, imaginary/historical.</p>

8

<p>i put movements also; something i read in there told me movements;they were following instructions to do the steps, so steps can't be instructions.</p>

<p>but it seems I got that riddle/fable one wrong from another passage because I put a choice no one here seems to have put, imaginary/historical.</p>
