<p>Docta : answer : he is undignified and reckless</p>
<p>I marked the same answer that Gyros marked using the same logic: that the "to what will she come?" was him asking how he can divert her current path to one that he agrees with.</p>
<p>no he's saying "what's going to happen to her if she keeps acting like this".</p>
<p>thykingdomcome, i <3 you. thank you for the info.</p>
<p>I think one of the questions referred to this line:</p>
<p>'God be thanked that you are not! But be on your guard! I will not be trifled with!' </p>
<p>And it asked somethign along the lines of "the statement Mr. Sympson makes is baseless because...."</p>
<p>And I put "because he holds no real power over his niece"</p>
<p>This is the link to the full passage about the ecosystems....i think...so anyone who found it enlightening can go and read it.</p>
<p>Warning - It contains a few extra lines than what actually came in the SAT.</p>
<p>i agree with gyros</p>
<p>that link didn't work...</p>
<p>and I think Darth Raid3r is right about the uncle having no real power over his niece.</p>
<p>Gyros321, thank you so much for finding the passage.
How do you guys interpret this sentence :
'I doubt if the peer breathes on whom I would confer it.' ???</p>
<p>I also put the diversion answer just as gyros did. I'm not sure exactly what it was referring to, only that part or the passage as a whole. Either way, now that I look back, bleak future could be better but then again so could diversion. </p>
<p>Thats too darn ambig.</p>
<p>Why can't I remember what I put to (13), the one that everyone says the answer is deliberately misunderstood him.</p>
<p>I feel like I probably put that she was mocking him. It kinda seems like that -- Was that a choice? Did it say mocking?</p>
<p>I don't think mocking was a choice... she was dilberately misunderstanding becuase she started talking about something else.</p>

he's asking if she expects a peer of the realm to marry her, and she says that there are no peers in the world she would agree to marry.</p>
<p>Oh oh, I see. Thank you, TheVeganActress :)</p>
<p>hey guys..what was the question with the "deliberately misunderstanding" answer choice and what were the answer choices? also, what was the answer to the question about the girls' first reason for rejecting the guy?</p>

<p>'To what will she come? Why are not the laws more stringent, that I might compel her to hear reason?'</p>
<p>Read this. He defines what he means CLEARLY in the second part. If I am wrong about my belief then bleak future does not mean that either.

<p>You have a good point here Gyros. However your argument is flawed. If the actual SAT passage had included the sentence after "To what will she come?", if SAT had included "Why are not the laws more stringent, that I might compel her to hear reason?," you definitely would be correct. In that case, the answer could not have been more explicitly stated. However, College Board did expurgate that last sentence on the actual SAT test, and thus, we can only use the line before, Unladylike language! Great God! - to what will she come?' He lifted hands and eyes, as reference. And in this case, the only logical implication is that she has a bleak future.</p>
