<p>oh ok! maybe I did bomb this one after all… lol D: how did you guys prepare for the test?</p>
<p>I’m sure you did fine! I did all the Kaplan tests, Princeton Tests, and maybe two of the Barron’s tests</p>
<p>What did you guys get for a supreme favour question?</p>
<p>i just went through the whole barrons book, did 2 barrons tests and the sat blue book test… i didn’t have time for more prep D: i did analyse a lot of poems and prose for school for the 2 weeks leading up to the test though…</p>
<p>Hey guys, if any of you remember this tone question, was it referring to this quote “‘What HAVE you got?’ Mrs. Farrinder inquired, looking at her interlocutress, up and down, with the eye of business, in
which there was a certain chill. ‘Have you got money?’” or “Then contribute
that!’”? The google doc says nonchalant which makes sense for the latter, but I thought the question was referring to the former in which case nonchalant doesn’t seem to fit.</p>
<p>@calistudent07 There’s a slight misunderstanding on your part. “Seemingly non-chalant” refers to what Mrs. Chen probably felt in response to the music teacher’s slightly condescending statement (“Wow you speak really good English for a Chinese person!”). </p>
<p>@FuzzyPeaches22 Ahh okay, thank you. Do you remember any of the other choices? I must’ve put something else. Also, did you put wry comments/humble reverence or the sardonic one? And can you explain why the tone of the mother in that one passage wasn’t something/disgust? I thought the fact that her final exclamation “Out of my way!” implied some impatient irritability or disgust. </p>
<ol>
<li>It’s the sardonic one, but I unfortunately changed mine to the wry one last minute :(</li>
<li>The mother wasn’t mad when she said “out of my way”. She was just in a hurry to get to the oven. There wasn’t anything to support that she would be suddenly disgusted or annoyed by her daughter.</li>
</ol>
<p>@FuzzyPeaches22 What makes you say sardonic/temperance? Sardonic seems too strong and temperance doesn’t really fit. I thought wry comments was more fitting and the girl looked at the woman with humble reverence. She clearly had some respect for the woman. Hmm interesting, I definitely concede that disgust was a stupid answer, but I still really feel like wry comments/humble reverence was the best choice for the other one. Oh well, pretty sure I bombed this test.</p>
<p>@calistudent07 yeah I was really conflicted between the two as well. I didn’t think he was being sardonic all the time, but I also feel like Olive isn’t really “humbly reverent”. It’s more “unquestioning awe” for her.</p>
<p>Crossing fingers I got this one right though…but ppl on google docs seems to have chosen sardonic :(</p>
<p>I just really need a 750 on this test ugh.</p>
<p>Sardonic: grimly mocking and cynical
Wry: using or expressing dry, especially mocking humor.</p>
<p>I guess the narrator didn’t really use humor?</p>
<p>Also, what did you put for the “supreme favour” question?</p>
<p>I thought the irony in the passage could come of as slightly humorous. There were some phrases like “this great woman” and “especially a woman like Mrs. Farrinder, whose horizon was so full” that seemed to me to be both wry commentary on the author’s part and respect on the girl’s part. Well, we can only hope but I’m fairly confident in that one tbh. Do you recall the choices for the supreme favour one? I thought I put something like conservative attitude, but that might be a different question or not even a choice lol. </p>
<p>Does anyone else remember the exact wording of the question that has the answer “the speakers husband”? </p>
<p>Also, what exact what the “friend” question?</p>
<p>do u have any idea from which book does this passage about sophia and ms baines ? </p>
<p>can someone explain why in “meaning of (something) remains”, the LITERAL meaning of remains is her children? I thought that when they meant literal, they were asking for the author’s body? I assumed that a figurative meaning would be children? </p>
<p>It’s the other way around, pretty sure, nervous. </p>
<p>I think they asked literal, but I still think the anstwer is children.</p>
<p>i remember clearly that they asked for literal meaning… D:</p>
<p>Hmm…this was a test question on previous lit exams as well…the answer was “children”.</p>
<p>I’m confused now.</p>
<p>I guess children is wrong then. The answer is probably her dead body or something </p>
