<p>The passengers experienced an intimacy not uncommon among vacationers spending days together, an intimacy often due to ________ than to any community of taste.</p>
<p>A)proximity B)compatibility C)affluence D)finesse E)recalcitrance</p>
<p>Why would it be A? i don see the context clue that would lead me to get A.</p>
<p>Oh and also one more question.
Can an anecdote be third person and fictional?
I always thought anecdote was first person and real like a personal experience.</p>
<p>it is A ,proximity …
finesse has sth do to with the brilliant technique some soccer players have.They stop the ball with finesse
Recalcitrance is unwillingness for doing sth .
affluence = exuberance ,more than enough
Compatibility = when two things fit together</p>
<p>Proximity is when two people ,thing are near each other .
Because of this proximity ,or closeness between the vacationers spending days together ,they experienced intimacy</p>
<p>The sentence is making a statement- the passengers spend a lot of close time together. The key word is “intimacy.” It then goes to expand on its meaning by adding a clause. Since the clause is in support of the original statement, the comprised words must mean the same as what is being said in first part of the sentence. </p>
<p>So, you are looking for a word that means “intimacy”, or closeness. Only A does that.</p>
<p>If you want a third person anecdote, why not make up history like I did (it worked out fine)?</p>
<p>the key words are “spending days together.” This shows that the vacationers are clearly near each other all the time, the word that most nearly states this is “Proximity”</p>
<p>& yeah, anecdotes can be third person & fictional…if you can’t think of a good anecdote make it up! The scorers aren’t going to know whether or not it’s real</p>
