<p>The mood of the second paragraph that described how the guy died at sea, and yeah, I put melancholy.</p>
<p>Did you describe Maggie in the first passage as diplomatic or self-denying? Or something else?</p>
<p>harvey33: i marked "narcotic" since i assumed poppies referred to opium, the sleep-inducing drug extracted from the seed pods of opium poppies.</p>
<p>yeah, i'm pretty sure it's "self centered" for the Dee passage..hypersensitive seems too extreme. darn.</p>
<p>what did you guys select for the question in the Obasan passage , "what is the author referring to for "rag like...dust covered""? i chose "dangling corpses on spiderwebs" but not too sure on that one.</p>
<p>yeah i said the spiderwebs too</p>
<p>*** WAS THAT CALLOUS PASSAGE</p>
<p>I COULDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE PROSE</p>
<p>hmm..for some reason i don't recall seeing "self-denying" in the answer choices. i chose the answer with "introspective" in it..but "self-denying" sounds stronger to me at the moment.</p>
<p>I put self centeredness, narcotics, melancholy and spiderwebs :). Spiderwebs because he talked about how the spiders were irritating just after. I don't remember the flower question, wasn't the last one about a lady whose husband died? Or was it the guy who didn't cry when his gf left?</p>
<p>The Shakespeare one totally eluded me, I was alright other than that.</p>
<p>oh and i said maggie was diplomatic</p>
<p>what did you put for the mother's use of both names?</p>
<p>ahhh yes, callous passage killed me. </p>
<p>Q: narrator thinks what term is positive? </p>
<p>I put "thick, calloused"...?</p>
<p>oh and what was the question about how "spiders are indelicate"</p>
<p>i said I and III</p>
<p>I was that it was an understatement</p>
<p>and III was in contrast to the next sentence which said "spiders are creepy" or something like that</p>
<p>i put tan and calloused for the callous passage</p>
<p>but it was only cuz it was used to describe "experience" in the last sentence</p>
<p>the flower question was on the passage about the man talking about the difference between genuine lament and fake, over-the-top lamenting. it was something like "lillies smell far worse than weeds"</p>
<p>i chose the first couplet</p>
<p>something about a lame duck being better than a loud something</p>
<p>because he thinks less words show more</p>
<p>Oh yeah I chose that one too because it said lovers love those they fear to quack at or something. So it seemed like it was expressing how he was quiet and didn't really show how much he loved her.</p>
<p>For mother's use of both names I said it was her ambivalence towards her daughter's new identity. I also put spider webs and narcotic. I put only understatement for the question about spiders being indelicate, but I was rushing so I didn't think too much about it, so you are probably right spikypuffer. And I put the duck doesn't quack for the one about love.</p>
<p>sigh you're probably right about the name thing</p>
<p>i said A, which was that she was unsure of her daughter's intentions</p>
<p>but since she switched off using Dee and both Dee and the other name, it's probably ambivalence</p>
<p>yes to ambivalence. </p>
<p>i considered the "dumb duck..chattering pie" answer but i didn't completely understand what it meant so i chose the "lillies smell far worse than weeds" one. </p>
<p>so far i think i've missed a whole bunch of Qs..does anyone know the curve for Lit tests in general? I hear it's quite harsh... :(</p>
<p>um what was the answer to the "what element of poetry is missing from this poem"</p>
<p>i said couplet but that was a total guess</p>
<p>and for the quilt passage
mother thought maggie would use them better?</p>
<p>and she cared more about how to make them?
this was like the response to "oh well she can just make more then"</p>
<p>I thought the answer to the reason she promised them to Maggie was that she wanted to give them to one of her daughters to pass down the family tradition, and she had already offered them to Dee when she went off to college but she didn't want them so logically she offered them to Maggie. </p>
<p>And yes, I put she valued the ability to make quilts more than the quilts themselves, or something like that. </p>
<p>What passage was the "what element of poetry is missing from this poem?" from?, and do you remember the choices? I sort of remember answering that and definitely would if you refreshed me.</p>
<p>Actually I think I might remember. I put rhyming quatrain, and I was pretty sure of it. Maybe that was a different question though.</p>
<p>
I don't think this is right. I think the answer was something like "the mother thought that Maggie would be able to use them better." When the mother asked how Dee would use the quilts, she said she would hang them up, and the mom did something to make it obvious that she didn't want that to happen.</p>
