<p>k so i really dont think it is wry disapproval</p>
<p>wry means like perverted, distorted, skewed, witty clever… that does not describe the tone of author at all</p>
<p>i put rueful confession, just because nothing else worked… and it sort of fits, rueful means regretful, which fits, and confession as in the confession that gardening never was written in literature kind of loosely fits…</p>
<p>anyone care to disagree?</p>
<p>i didnt really see it as a confession though</p>
<p>confession as in hes confessing that gardening from that point on never really was written about… im not sure, disapproval definitely fits, but wry definitely does not… wry disapproval would mean misdirected or a kind of sarcastic disapproval by definition… </p>
<p>its not nostalgia, too passionate of a word
not bitter resenment, too extreme,
wry=doesn’t fit</p>
<p>rueful=works, confession=loosely works… as i explained</p>
<p>when you refer to “more than” “2, product of series 7” what were the questions?</p>
<p>Two Questions:</p>
<p>1st, what was the question for the answer “24: Without giving up value”?</p>
<p>2nd, if one were to make the qualification score for the state, is that just qualification, or direct entry into the semifinals?</p>
<p>Flipping a switch is DEFINATELY wrong… It would have to read upon the flipping of a switch. When flipping refers to the wrong tense. I’m probably explaining it wrong, but trust me, if you said it was incorrect, you are RIGHT.</p>
<p>But don’t listen to me, because I can’t spell *definitely correctly</p>
<p>Wasn’t there an error in the Canada one? The question was:
Canada, which had been a colony blah blah since blah blah, gained independence. </p>
<p>Shouldn’t “had been” be “has been”? So it wouldn’t have been no error?</p>
<p>someone please reply to me… HOW DOES WRY MAKE ANY SENSE</p>
<p>yea i thought that too b/c of since, but it says it gained independence in 1973 or whatever which means that its not a colony anymore so it’d have to be had</p>
<p>i put rueful confession as well,</p>
<p>and idk how wry makes sense… i always thought wry was like annoyed thoroughly …</p>
<p>thank you wesura! and yeah…wry literally does not fit at all ugh</p>
<p>And wistful nostalgia works best, in my opinion… He is remembering something from the past (nostalgia) that he is regretful about (wistful)… All of the other choices don’t make sense, as they are too strong to be taken out of the sentence… I don’t remember it exactly, but I do remember it being awfully neutral… I had the wry one, but then realized that there were no negative or positive words in the sentence. Agree/disagree?</p>
<p>Synonyms for wry include “ironic, sardonic, satirical, and sarcastic”. I think it definitely fits some of these qualities.</p>
<p>disagree^ just because, its not like gardening was written about all the time… quite the opposite, gardening was NEVER EVER written about by naturalists which was kind of the point of the essay… Thoroeu happened to write about it once, and he tried and thought it was bad and told everyone to never write about it (or at least thats how everyone reacted) </p>
<p>so, my point, there is nothing to be nostalgic about… wistful also means sad, not regretful, little different</p>
<p>Answer my question about the Canada one? Shouldn’t “had been” be “has been” (so the answer couldn’t be “no error”???)</p>
<p>no… had been is right? whats wrong with had been</p>
<p>wist·ful/ˈwistfəl/
Adjective:<br>
Having or showing a feeling of vague or regretful longing.
but i see what you say about nostalgia as far as the rest of the essay, but when it asks the tone of a specific sentence, arent you supposed to look at it in a vacuum? </p>
<p>and the canada one is no answer. the sentence was something like “Canada, which had been a colony of England since 1763, did not gain its independence until 19xx,…” it is definitely had_<em>__, as had </em> goes with since. It the had also works, since the tense is in the past referring to something that had been happening even further in the past (this is called the past perfect progressive tense)</p>
<p>does anyone remember the full sentence for the wistful nostalgia/wry disapproval one?</p>
