<p>Oh, well. The text from JHU and the passage posted on this thread earlier are both only excerpts. They don’t include the lines I was talking about.</p>
<p>They said that most fires happen in august. Well… August us the summer time. Summer doesn’t end until september something. So wouldn’t the anwser be in the summer and not autum.</p>
<p>@Republicratic You are correct. The answer was the “historical and geographic context” one.</p>
<p>@Maw2wire859
The passage clearly said that most fires happen in autumn, there was a whole section describing it.</p>
<p>For all those proponents of “soothing” as an answer on the “How did the sun make the grandmother feel” question, the answer choice itself was “sedating.” Either way, the correct answer is pleasurable, as she liked the “pleasure of the rays of sun hitting her back.” That is almost verbatim from the passage.
a) distracting
b) sedating
c) ???
d) pleasurable</p>
<p>As one of the original composers of the compilation, I will tell you now. There was NO soothing answer choice, so can we please stop acting like this was actually a thing? Everyone knows soothing means pleasing. We all put pleasing. So lets stop. okay? Just stop. The answer was D, pleasurable .Move on with your life.</p>
<p>@alargeblackman14
What are you so angry about? There was a slight confusion because an incorrect answer choice started with an ‘s’, and there are slight nuances between soothing and pleasurable (calming versus enjoyable).</p>
<p>Also, can you please refresh me on the context of “Prairie Fire […] 6. Contradictory”.
I don’t remember this question very clearly.</p>
<p>^ Yes, I don’t remember contradictory either… What was the question?</p>
<p>^ its to explain the function of a very short paragraph, probably second or the third paragraph. basically it shows that they need to use fire to preserve the prairie, which is contradictory with common sense, and then afterwards the essay shows how fire can help ecology.</p>
<p>^ Ah yes I remember now… I put that one!! Many thanks</p>
<p>I think the last question for the prarie passage was one about the grasses that were in the hills, someone about how their were alot because no plows go in the hills</p>
<p>For the dictionary one…
one of the questions asks about why shakespeare used those hard words…
it was that he did it on purpose, has a few dictionaries ect.</p>
<p>I said he intentionally misused words lalala.</p>
<p>I think the answer was that it showed that he could have used the benefit of a dictionary</p>

<p>What were the choices?</p>
<p>@actchick he intentionally misused words to show the need for a dictionary to be developed. I don’t recall the other choices. Anyone remember?</p>
<p>oh so was the intentionally misused/need for a dictionary the same choice?? If so, thank god, because I’m worried the intentionally misused was correct</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure those choices were in the same question. Now that I think about it, it could have shown the need for a dictionary at the time to avoid misinterpretations in his writings. I think I just figured out two answer choices :D</p>
<p>Shakespeare was famous for inventing or coining words, not for misusing them. However, Shakespeare used malapropisms in Much Ado about Nothing for comedic effect, not to show the need for a dictionary. Also, the passage hinted that he could have benefited from a dictionary because the language would have been more standardized and there would have been less guesswork for a playwright.</p>
