<p>the question asked how his father’s decision (to ignore the soldier) came across to Virgil, not the reader. After explaining what his father did, Virgil says he was “patriotically offended”- he, then, does not feel the deed was irrational (without meaning) but rather assumes a meaning that is unpatriotic, or disloyal</p>
<p>@happysunnyshine: The question for fair/right was a definition question (i.e., “In line blah, fair most nearly means…”)</p>
<p>@ApTester: I put irrational, same reasoning.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree and that’s what I put… but put yourself in the heads of the ETS. they were probably looking for disloyal.</p>
<p>i put “deferential” i think for one of the questions. i might have changed it i dont remmeber. I had an extra cr sectyion but i dont remember if this was legit or not. what do u guys think any of u remember this?</p>
