***November 2013 - Literature***

<p>I put straightforward something to x.</p>

<p>did you guys say frenzied frivolous artist for the storm? i couldnt pick between this choice and the collaborator. i remember the two verses question but i dont remember which choice i picked</p>

<p>^Yup, that’s what I got.</p>

<p>Yes, I put that as well</p>

<p>did you say that the lover was something pleasantry when he says “really?”</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question about the unifying theme of the Joseph vs. Mrs Slipshot passage? I put false modesty but I wasn’t really sure…</p>

<p>@danielfelsen Feigned interest?</p>

<p>I ended up taking it even though I wasn’t planning to due to extraneous circumstances. Some things were difficult, some weren’t–I’ll probably take it again when I was planning to, at the end of AP English.</p>

<p>The answer was ‘Malapropisms’.</p>

<p>The story even italicized most of the words she used that were out of context.</p>

<p>@danielfelsen The question about the lover saying “really” asked about which one he didn’t mean, so I put something about him being truly questioning of what the mother said</p>

<p>there was a question there where it asked for the context of the word ‘numbers’ in the Oldman poem…does anybody know what the answer was for it?</p>

<p>I think I answered numerals.</p>

<p>I said limits</p>

<p>i said limits too</p>

<p>Guys,
This is a list of answers that I found on a June 2012 test thread. It has around 46 answers, please do add any more that you can to this list and please re post it. I’ve put alternative answers for a few questions whose answers aren’t clear! </p>

<p>Wow. Are we allowed to discuss this? This isn’t like AP right?</p>

<p>Are the passages on these tests usually so weird? I thought the Yolanda/lover/mom story was really bizarre.</p>

<p>They do look for obscure passages</p>

<p>Did anyone who took Lit test do so outside U.S.?</p>

<p>I dont remember crap about any mr slipshod or yolando or anything mentioned above…i got a passage about animals and a 2 page dialogue between hally and sam (i kid u not)</p>
