<p>Did anyone understand the question on “Charles On Fire” about the rhetoric strategy used?</p>
<p>yes, inconsolable showed how they didnt really mean what they said outloud</p>
<p>also
for the appearances passage, i said that life was full of illusions and false things
i also got that flowers alluded to the wife’s future role.</p>
<p>@Smacking - yeah, I think so.</p>
<p>I think that was among the 3 I omitted. Seemed too time consuming and confusing to be worth examining it, instead of going back to the previous sections to double check etc.</p>
<p>description to reflection anyone? (for the past and present passage)</p>
<p>^ definitely description to reflection</p>
<p>Sigh. Apparently I rushed through the flowers question and missed it, although it didn’t seem like it was too hard.</p>
<p>I agree with the illusions and false things.</p>
<p>@LovesBrown originally I, like you, chose “it criticized how serious they took a mundane situation” BUT then I switched it to “highlights the difference between what is said and what is felt.” I realized it didn’t criticize anything; instead, if using the approach that you assume the friends actually were upset, it was more like the author was making fun of the wealthy for being inconsolable over it. Not criticizing them for it.</p>
<p>So then, using the word inconsolable as sarcasm, I chose “difference between said and felt” because the people pretended to be inconsolable (as per high society’s rules of etiquette) but really weren’t that upset.</p>
<p>I can hardly remember any of the questions related to Progeny 101, but they were the ones I was least confident about.</p>
<p>Oh. Progenitor was the author. Right? (Books passage)</p>
<p>@born2dance94 completely agree with what you said</p>
<p>@smacking yes</p>
<p>Do you think the curve is gonna be lenient? There seems to be a lot of questions (like the dragon one) that were pretty challenging.</p>
<p>Does not care about family’s emotions. (Still not convinced)</p>
<p>^ yes, defs, because if you remember, the husband refusing the offer to stay in his uncle’s apartment made his aunt weep because she thought the husband and the wife were being snobby (she said something like, “oh, so our place isn’t good enough for your wife?”), but the husband just waved it aside and was like, “there’s no place for traditions like this in modern India”.</p>

<p>metalliyanks123: That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I’m estimating something like a -9 so I’m trying to make an accurate prediction of my score.</p>
<p>oh, and what was the question asking for the “illusions and false” thing?</p>
<p>for the indian passage, did anyone get something about a sentence that related the uncle’s problems to nation issues?</p>
<p>I am quite sure it was aware of daughter’s social restrictions.</p>
<p>@crunchyfrog: My problem is that the aunt was snobby only with the wife. Not with he husband too. That’s why I am not convinced.</p>
