<p>You think embraced meant take up? Greet worked better.</p>

<p>that's what I thought</p>

<p>and 6) I don't remember the question.</p>

<p>i put "take up"....i think because he did more than simply welcome or greet, but actually undertook researching the philosopher guy as a new project etc.</p>

<p>But he said he turned his back to the other guy and then _____ this guy. Greet was a better like opposite meaning choice.</p>

<p>6 was about the part where the blind historian found out that the family of the philosopher had destroyed all of his papers. This was good news to the historian, as he would not have to sift through multitudes of documents etc. It was regarded as "ironic" because a historian ought instead to welcome all evidence</p>

<p>Oh okay I remember. Yeah that's the right answer for 6.</p>

10. disperse (B)

<p>Marshaled was the better answer here, I felt. To marshal means "to enlist and organize: trying to marshal public support." (dictionary.com) You can also marshal funds or resources. </p>

<p>Disperse more means "To drive off or scatter in different directions: The police dispersed the crowd." or "To strew or distribute widely: The airplane dispersed the leaflets over the city." It doesn't have the connotation of putting resources to good use.</p>
