<p>How'd it go for you guys?
My proctor didn't tell us when to start.. then she proceeded to stop us early in regard to the time on the clock when she asked us why we weren't beginning
I'm so depressed now cause I'm probably gonna have to retake it..
:( :( :( I didnt answer the last 5 cause I was out of time</p>
<p>What questions got to you guys?</p>
<p>A few of the latter questions on the passage about the books/Church/commonwealth got me. What did the Dragon's teeth represent? Destroyed by barbarians, god's choice, whatever else the other answer choices were? And what was his aim in the speech? Books should be cautiously censored/free press??</p>
<p>The passage with the Mr and Miss Patridge or wth it was.. the last question about how Georgina will likely feel about the party? I picked the "socially bored + musically entertained" choice.. but now that I think about it, it seems wrong :( ugh.</p>
<p>Wow how is there no discussion?!? Anyway I had to leave the last 3 blank, didn’t finish on time. The dragon’s teeth represented the god choice or whatever. I thought the aim of his speech was that authors should be punished, not the books. And I picked the same one as you for that last one.</p>
<p>i had three minutes to do the last passage and only did three que on it.
i might regret even bothering to try and answer them though cause i rushed through the passage and probably answered them wrong.</p>
<p>the part with the “eery veil covering”
was it talking about blood over his hand?</p>
<p>@BillyMc
I noticed people arent really comparing answers on the other one. I know the test half the same as the Oct '10, May '09 and Dec '07 ones, but I think there were a few passages that were off</p>
<p>Like there was one about spiders and cobwebs. Does anyone remember the specific questions? That one, surprisingly, irritated me more than the Coronation/Countryside one did.</p>
<p>Yeah, the spiders/cobwebs one was hard. I had trouble with the question asking about how the past and present are most clearly represented in the passage’s first paragraph…</p>
I said regeneration of life or something. It said something about “sown…armed men spring up” which suggested that sowing (planting) dragon’s teeth gave birth to soldiers.</p>
<p>And what was his aim in the speech? Books should be cautiously censored/free press??
Yeah, that’s definitely the message I got from it.</p>
<p>The passage with the Mr and Miss Patridge or wth it was… the last question about how Georgina will likely feel about the party?
I put timid/afraid because it said something about her wanting to go back into the house when she went on a walk with her parents.</p>
<p>the part with the “eery veil covering”
I thought about choosing the glass, but I ended up putting the fire on his hand (from the alcohol spilling in on it) because he was unharmed (said something about shaking his hand and it “went back to flesh”) and it astounded him. </p>
<p>What about the last question of that passage, with why the guy looked in the mirror after the happened? None of the choices seemed right to me. I put something like “he was surprised his face wasn’t burned” which I took to be that he was surprised that his whole appearance hadn’t changed…</p>
<p>With the spiders and cobwebs, I only remember three of the questions…</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How can you tell that they’re searching for the past? (I said something about how the photo ID was yellow and they described the uncle’s picture as young)</p></li>
<li><p>The “dusty rags”…first I thought it was clothing, but I changed it to the cobwebs and I’m pretty sure that’s what it was</p></li>
<li><p>The last question of that section…What does the furniture represent??? That one was tough. I put the last answer, that the past, present, and future are all one but I’m really unsure about that.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>for the dusty rags i chose something like the material was disintegrating so you couldnt tell what it was but i definitely wasnt sure between those three. </p>
<p>for the last question i didnt choose that one, i think it was the choice below it but i forget what it is. </p>
<p>for the georgiana one, does anyone remember the effect of her being referred to as a young person? and the author’s tone or sth? how could you tell!?</p>
<p>I dont even remember #1, sorry I was rushing past it. Now I’m afraid I just scribbled down a wrong bubble. Oh well. </p>
<p>For the dusty rags, I got the corpse of insects hanging off the spiderwebs cause the kids were like “thats so creepy” afterwards, and she shows obvious revulsion and i think theres a line with a metaphor about killing preceeding it</p>
<p>I think for #3 they were asking about the relationship of the attic and the living room. For that one I picked the option that the past lingers on in the present… :(</p>
<p>@lebonbonbon</p>
<p>For the young person one, I did “it shows mr.partridge’s importance and control/power over her” or whatever. the line said “his young person,” which meant he had authority of her since its possessive? </p>
<p>Wha did you guys get about the questions in the Cornoation/countryside passage about whose perspective the phrase “her dear” is from. i just said it was from the woman’s cause the narrator seemed third-person omniscient… but idk </p>
<p>ugh this test was hard, i dont think i broke a 700</p>
<p>@lebonbonbon: I put down treated her as an object/possession. Author’s tone was mocking/incisive. First question was um… social satire? Not sure. </p>
<p>@noloserhere: Attic & living room: I don’t remember an answer choice like that. Gah, memory failure. Do you still remember what you put down for the author saying the cobwebs were “indelicate”? </p>
<p>What about the last passage? What did "shocked, unconscious gaze mean? Why did he look into the mirror? And what did “it couldn’t matter less” mean?</p>
<p>I put down didn’t realize the effects and feigned indifference. I almost put down revelation on life or something for the second one. </p>
<p>GUH. Does anyone remember the questions for Epistle to Miss Blount. I HATE that I had so much trouble with this one. I love Alexander Pope, but this poem just befuddled me…</p>
<p>For the georgiana one i put object/possession. on the first question, i changed it to social satire after reading all of the questions. my first time reading the passage, i didn’t quite get the satire part, but im still not sure if it was in fact criticizing the antisocial aristocracy?</p>
<p>i also put the disintegrating answer for dusty rags. i was stuck between that and clothes. i remember the passage compared the dusty rags to being hung on a laundry line, so i think thats how i got the clothing imagery. </p>
<p>for the “eery veil covering”, i’m pretty sure its the fire on his hand. i remember it saying he “swiped his hand” or something to extinguish to fire, and his hand went “back to flesh”</p>
