<p>
yea i remember that</p>
<p>@concertpianist, yes, thats what I got, anyone else want to confirm?</p>
<p>@simo14: So is the answer choice “to deep her knowledge of her family’s past” for the “What she thinks the purpose of the trip is” question?</p>
<p>what were other answer choices for the “increase affection”?</p>
<p>@jolly
Yes.</p>
<p>@concertpianist
Yes I had that as well. Wooo another answer!</p>
<p>@iceui2: she thinks the purpose is to increase affection</p>
<p>@ice: I believe it was to increase like affection with her family or something, not to learn of family’s past.</p>
<p>i also think for the father horse one it was because of her “inability to empathize with her father”</p>
<p>@concert pianist: that’s exactly what i got.</p>
<p>now we’re done with austria.</p>
<p>i think the other question about the austrian girl was</p>
<p>“what was the purpose of the passage” -> explains the girl’s views on her family </p>
<p>or something along those lines??</p>
<p>wait so “to deepen her understanding of family’s past” was an answer choice for the “increase affection” question?</p>
<p>interesting… it looks like i posted before you</p>
<p>^ I have the same question as jollybjolly</p>
<p>@jolly and iceui2
Yes they were two answer choices to the same question. I had “to increase affection”</p>
<p>@jolly: No lol, I think to “increase her affection of her family” was the answer to why she was meant to go there or something</p>
<p>@concert: yes i got that too.</p>
<p>and i still think the horse dad one is because of her inability to empathize, anyone want to confirm?</p>
<p>Yes I remember #13 being the Main Idea question. So basically there were 3 questions about why the girl is going to Austria?!?! (explain her views on her family, learn more about her non-English relatives, increase affection)</p>
<p>@aryus - yes it is the inability to empathize. It’s already on the list.</p>
<p>@ice: I thought so, but the list says: ““loved father like she loved a horse” = elaborate on previous sentence”, so what’s going on?</p>
