<p>I put small-minded too, but I wasn’t sure about that. What about the very last question of the test that asked for the tone of the poem? I thought it was cheerful/happy, but now I think it was exhortative…</p>

<p>I really hope the curve is nice! I signed up for this test without really thinking about it, so I don’t know how I did. I’m sure I missed at least 2. Aiming for 770+, but 750+ at the least.</p>

<p>@ Renover</p>

<p>I spent a solid 2-3 minutes on that question lol. I think I ended up putting cruel, but now I think that small-minded would have been more appropriate.</p>

<p>@thelemon</p>

<p>I put exhortative.</p>

<p>@Bubinski</p>

<p>I think it was between small minded, or low spirited for me.</p>

<p>@thelemonisinplay</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that one was exhortative.</p>

<p>It was exhortative</p>

<p>For the city vs country poem: Was the answer before he dies for the 'ere my grave one?</p>

<p>Damn it! If only I’d remembered the definition during the test… T_T</p>

<p>@Bubinski Yeah, it was.</p>

<p>^ Yes. ‘Ere’ means ‘before’ (lucky I’m reading Hamlet for school).</p>

<p>In the reading questions, for both of the questions with roman numerals, were both answer I and II?</p>

<p>Also was the answer for house on bone the body</p>

<p>Yeah I put metaphor for the body. I think I put a numeral I and II and a I II III or however many, but I’m not certain.</p>

<p>For the passage about the man who was fired from teaching english, is the answer to the question about the word “explode”, he was on the verge of going insane?</p>

<p>I put receiving more bad news.</p>

<p>I put he saw parallels between his life and nature or something like that</p>

<p>Yep, parallel between life and nature.</p>

<p>Also, for the two roman numeral questions, I think I had I+II for the first, and I+II+III for the second.</p>

<p>I remember there was one I put I, II, and III and another I put something else.</p>

<p>Hey everyone. Do any of you know the name of the city vs nature poem? I really liked it, but I can’t find it. I was trying to memorize phrases of it so I could google it lol, but so far no yield.</p>

<p>“The Wish” by Abraham Cowley</p>

<p>Does anyone know the significance of the first sentence in the passage about the child/darkness? “This was the last time I ever saw my mother alive.”</p>

<p>I said that it emphasized the events that preceded the narrator or something like that. I had it down to that or the one that was about the uniqueness of the past of the narrator</p>

<p>What did everyone put for the one about the child and darkness where it asked what the “darkness outside” signified? I said that it was the struggles and problems that the adults faced or something similar to that</p>
