<p>The italian folklore passage: </p>
<p>Why did the author mention the frog?</p>
<p>“ALL ENCOMPASSING SKEPTICISM” was in the question about what “he wouldn’t be impressed with anyone’s experiment” means I think.</p>
<p>what does italics anyone imply. answer is all encompassing</p>
<p>Frog: unattractive looks or something along those lines (there was only one answer near that)</p>
<p>Monarch: It was that he was a “naysayer” etc. in the 1st para of the 2nd passage?</p>
<p>lowly appearance</p>
<p>is it cultural vacuum or stable environment
and is it familiarity or possibility</p>
<p>The irony was that suspicion is usually negative</p>
<p>He felt intense pleasure </p>
<p>The shorter aunt was something & forceful not imposing </p>
<p>What did the author mean by “LIGHT” ?</p>
<p>The joke about old age was something humorous not self mocking</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the transition between passage 1 & passage 2? </p>
<p>The sisters laughs were tentative something???</p>
<p>His wife & aunt had a confrontational relationship?</p>
<p>cultural vaccuum is the answer</p>
<p>I put stable enviroment and possibility.</p>
<p>That short double passage about the persons lost identity was part of the experimental section. So the questions about the village & stuff dont count</p>
<p>Yes, a confrontational relationship. Author means easy to occur and possible, by light.</p>
<p>Light i choose trivial.
self mocking
transition； general to specific
laughter i forgot what i chose, but not tentative</p>
<p>In the butterfly text, quotation marks are there to indicate that it is “morning” for the altered biological clock of the butterflies.</p>
<p>what about the stable environment vs cultural vacuum? it was not part of the experimental as I had a math experimental and still did those questions…</p>
<p>cultural vaccuum is the answer. what is this naysayer thing?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the last question of the passage which referred to the last few lines of going back home. Was the answer E?</p>
<p>in the writing that error ID with Begun as answer B did people put B or E?</p>
<p>The passage about modern buildings:</p>
<p>DOES ANYONE REMEMBER ANY QUESTIONS?</p>
<p>and why is cultural vacuum the answer?</p>
<p>and for the buildings: what does “design life” imply?</p>
<p>Cultural vaccuum is correct, coz it mentioned that the japanese town was basically in the middle of nowhere - author said that there was nothing beyond, or something to that effect. Design life…what were the options?</p>
