<p>Here are a list of correct words decided upon by my friends and I:</p>
<p>Soporific
Heyday
Loquacious
Largesse…Perquisetes
Impasse
Quagmire</p>
<p>Also, the bee was an AGENT! </p>
<p>@Connieshi, all of those are correct except catalyst</p>
<p>For the short passages, was it allegory or concession?</p>
<p>catalyst is incorrect. soporific is the correct answer to that q.</p>
<p>Concession. Both made small counterarguments to their claims.</p>
<p>concession</p>
<p>@connieshi
I don’t remember putting catalyst as an answer.
I also put agent.
and for the definition of genuine, i was stuck between actual and heartfelt.</p>
<p>Did the author of passage two think that the depiction of librarians was too extreme?</p>
<p>@Aaron Burr, the correct answer is heartfelt.</p>
<p>@Aron I put concession.</p>
<p>Damit I got the soporific one wrong. It was something about a trytophan and getting sleepy, and then melatonin.</p>
<p>For the genuine one I put actual</p>
<p>@connieshi i agree with all of those. and i wasn’t sure what impasse meant either. i was between that and juggernaut. i chose impasse because of the prefix, and its definition is basically a situation that has no escape (impassable? hahah love words)</p>
<p>Soporific means Sleep-Inducing.</p>
<p>I don’t think I put too extreme. I think I put he agrred but thought he didn’t give credit to the positive things the professionals do.</p>
<p>are you guys sure about the agent one? an agent is someone who acts ON BEHALF of someone else not themselves. Wouldnt the answer be topic for that one?</p>
<p>was genuine actual or heartfelt? the sentence went something like “the parents concern for the improper material is genuine”</p>
<p>i put heartfelt. </p>
<p>The bee question was definetly recipient</p>
<p>It was definitely heartfelt. actual may be a better definition for genuine, but in context, it was definitely heartfelt.</p>
<p>I put agent… not sure.</p>
<p>I don’t think it was heartfelt. The sentence after said that the parents were honest about their concern, and I don’t exactly remember reading that they were too emotionally involved.</p>
<p>Agent: the “doer” of the action. (Oxford dictionary).
They mentioned the bees were the SUBJECT.
Object = recipient = one receiving action</p>
<p>The second passage was about how people become emotionally involved -.-</p>
<p>I had agent but switched it to recipient at the last minute. Agent just didn’t fit.</p>
