<h1>7. The first blank needs to correspond to “obscure references” and the second to “baffling digressions.” The words in choice B are the only ones to do this. arcane=obscure/secret and abstruse=hard to understand.</h1>

<h1>11. “Subtleties” is referring the the names of the cars. Choice D, “connotations,” is the only choice that is referring to car names in passage one. The lakes and mountains have nothing to do with car names.</h1>

<h1>18. That particular reference isn’t talking about any powers Brittain gained, the quote is meant to support the claim that men and women experienced the war very differently (sentence 2). The author is quoting a contemporary to support this claim (Brittain talks about a “barrier of indescribable inexperience.”)</h1>

<h1>6. Choice E introduces a double negative (will not be remembered…no more than…)</h1>
