tious events that follow in this passage, as is evident by the narrator's understanding of themisconception of the harmony he felt. If you chose (C) you may have recognized the namesfrom Greek mythology, but there is no mention of the history of the island by the narrator. Ifyou chose (D) you may have recognized the Greek names in relationship with a kingdom,but the word "grandeur" is not the word that would be used to describe the island. IIt is itsnatural beauty that captivates the narrator. You could eliminate choice (E) because nowherein the passage is there a reference to violence. Once again, you might have been able tomake the correct choice using the Process of Elimination.

This question requires you to have an understanding of the vocabulary used in the choices.Once again, you must remember that both words must accurately describe the speaker'simpression of education on the island. ln this case, choice (A) can be eliminated because theeducation is a solid and practical British education, not superficial. You can also eliminatechoice (B) because it may be annoying to the narrator, but it is not archaic, merely adequateand current. Choice (C) does not provide you with any choices that are accurate. Choice p;may provide you with the idea that the education one receives there is inconsequential, butit is not perplexing to the speaker. He understands that the education is adequaie, but heis frustrated that it does not involve more of a romantic notion of education. Therefore, thebest answer is choice (D).

The speaker finds the school constricting and the students exasperating. Th.y preferred totalk about cars rather than poetry. He found this preference of theirs frustrating, so choice(A) is correct. If you had chosen (E), you chose an answer that was close to coriect, but itwas more than disappointment that the narrator felf it was frustratiory as shown by theway he developed his examples in a repetitive, almost sarcastic manner.

10. A This type of question posses the most difficulty for students. Once again,you need to lookcarefully at the question and the choices you are given. Eliminate the choices that do notsupply the correct implications. It is hue that the narrator believes that there are shortcom-ings in the British educational system. The education fostered an interest for science andlittle for literature. If you decided that choice I was a correct answer, you are on the righttrack. You can eliminate choice (C) and choice (D). if you look at choice II you will seJthatthe "myopic" (limited) vision of the students who only want to learn scientific informationand not that of [terafure, also makes selection II a valid statement. Because the choices thatare left all include If you have to look at III and IV to determine whether or not they alsoapPly- Selection III may be true, but you need to refer to line 80 to make sure you under-stand what the object of reference is to "mole-like blindness." You can easily determine thatthis reference loosely applies to education. In that case, you can eliminate selection III be-cause it refers to all inhabitants of the island. We do not know if this statement is true basedon this selection. Now you can also eliminate choices (E) and (B). Choice IV is not true, andtherefore you are left with choice (A).

11. C This question requires you to know some basic literary terminology. Parody is not evidentin this passage; you can eliminate choice (A). Aposhophe, which is often used in poetry, isnot used in this passage. You can eliminate choice (B). Repetition is often used by good writ-ers, but choice (D) indicates that the attitude of the speaker is emphasized by theiiusage. Sochoice (D) is not the best answer for this question. Take a look at (E). Hyperbole is not used.Now, you need to decide between choice (C) and choice (D). This passage,like most literarypassages/ does depend on the author's use of imagery to make his point. So keep choice (C).Thai leaves (C) as the correct answer.

In the first two stanzas,springand all the image-ry of spring are used to.tup..r".,iilrh; energy, and life. you might easilythink then that-winteq, ui spring'r oppo.site, rwr.ru't, 1rj agi'g and ross of vigor, or per_haps (c) the coldness of the g.ui., that is, death itself. il tli. q"";;;k" i"i,n. meaningof winter nthe third stanza'in this stanzaGod says tharlow 'winter passeth after the longdelay'" \{hat follows are images of spring ttow clJu.tf ,iJ to death anh ur "it*rir.. springin the final stanza is a metaphor for the jJy of ,e.r.,ioi *irn coa.

C As with all questions with longer answers, you must read carefully and eliminate whenan answer is partially correct. Partially correct means all wrong. otherwise, the reasoningbehind this question is fully covered in the expla;;;;;stion 23.e

fnferstanding the lines in question is not as much about the lines themselves as it is aboutletting them make sense in the overall context of the poem. If you understood the bulkof the poem, then this question shouldn't have been difficult. If the poem itself gave youtrouble' this question might have as well. The incorrect .h;i;.r offei various m#readingsand over interpretations.

26' c one of the easiest questions on the test. This is essentially a vocabulary question, butchances are you were unfamiliar withthe pusugJr ffi of the word ,,sptay.,,Figure outthe meaning from the context. None of the incoiect ans'wers makes ,.rrru ir,'.or,text exceptpossibly (A), and we hope that befween (A) and (C), you chose (C).

27 ' D You are certain to see a question (or two or three) like this one on your test. If you got thisquestion wron8, brush up on your skills with our section on gramrnar for the Ap EnglishLiterature and Composition Exam (page 53). As outlined in tiat section, th;;";;way tofigure out the construction of the kind-of sentence ETS likes to ask about is to rewrite thesentence (in your mind-you shouldn't need to actually write it down) into a more nafuralform' The sentences ETS ihooses are never straightfor#ard "subject, u.ru, air*t-object, in-direct object" sentences like 'Jack threw the ballto me." The sentence that begins on line 24"Arise, come away, night is past and lo it is auy, rrrry rorre, My sister, My spouse, thou shalthear me say," should 6. ,.*ritt rl"Thou shalt hear me say, 'Arise, come away, night is past and lo it is day,My love, My sisteq, My spouse.,,,

Notice we've put quotation marks urgTl-*hut God reports he will say. This is how thesentence would normally be punctuated. If you rewrite^it in this _u*6r, yo, ,f.,""fa be ableto see that ',ThotJ,,is the subject.

this novel or its sequels, in particulTr,Fyml .w

Parsonage,in which the rivalry of l\u[rs. Grantlyand Mrs' Proudie is given substantial attention. It cert"ainly is not the authoi,s intention tosuggest a rivalry,.although he.may have intended to foresiradow it. Choice (E) has somemerit' From the description of Mrs. Grantly, it certainly seems as if the author favors womenwho exert their powerdomestically and piivately. The passage states, ,,before the world

she is a pattern of obedience; her voice is never ltud ... she know what should be the limitsof a woman's rule." Nevertheless, the ranguage in the answer choice, ,,assert why womenshould be seen, and not heard,'- suggests tlatine author provides evidence for a positionstronger than the one he actually takes.

33' D Pity, answer choice (A), is best used to describe how ihe author feels toward Dr. proudie,"her poor husband.'Although the narrator-may feign an appearan ce of objectiaity, answerchoice (B), his opening comments make it clearihat"what hl'presents is hiJ subjective opin-ion' Given that, answer choice (C), emotional judgment,mightte tempting, urrif,ir languageis shong enough to justify (D), sardonic condemnition He ii certainly moJti"t nn , proudie,and his judgment of her does condemn her behavior. It is choice pj tnat is t|o extreme forthe Passage

-- \-/ --ae!

34' B We get no sense of Dr. Proudie's devotion to his wife or of his moral compass, no matterwhat we might want to in{er from knowing his profession, so answer choice (A) is out. An-swer choice (B) is supported by the text.of Ihe third paragraph. Choice (C) and (D) suggesta happy and loving mariage, not the picture painted ly?rrir purugrupl,. (Ef -igt , describeMrs. Proudie's relationship to her husband, but not the reverse.

35' C He is described as "aware that submission produces the nearest approach to peace whichhis own house can ever attain." Choices (A) refers most nearly to a quality be'siattributed toMrs' Proudie' Choices (B) and (E) are.not gupported by the text. Choice (D) is a trap answerfor those who read quickly and saw that the pasrug. liuu, about the clergy and religiousmatters.

A The maid in question has been un{aithful.to her duty. As is par for the course, on a singlephrase or word questiory

Jhe primary dictionary d"fir,itiorr,'.hoice (D) is offered as an an-swer choice, as is a word it kind of sounds like, choice (B). The other choices have no meritwhatsoever.

C The repetition of the phrase "woe betide" accenfuates the seriousness of the servants, situ-ation' It neither slows down the prose, as in (A), nor does it satirize or mock the servants,fate, as in (B)' The phrase is consistent with the narrator's attitude throughout the rest of thepassage/ so (D) is incorrect. Choice (E) is too exheme.

B Even if you weren't familiar with the Victorian use of "chatactet,, as shorthand for ,,charac-ter reference i' youcould derive the meaning from the context of the passage-the maid hasbeen dismissed, and because of this "character," she is unable to find dec.rit u-ptof-"r,t.Choices (A), (C), and-(E) all prey on a reader's familiarity with the dictionary dei#tio.,s ofthe word, as opposed to theiontextual meaning. Choice (D) is a trap for the careless readerwho sees "characte{' and "foot" near each.oihei in the passage and overinterprets-perhapsthinking that the footman is sent to escort the housemuia rroil the premises.

we don't know. Eliminate (E). This leaves only (D). Yes, it's fair to say that the mother takesher responsibilities too lightly, and her certainty about the whole affair tells us that she hasno doubts about her fihress as a juror.

This question should have been a piece of cake. You did not need to read too much intothe phrase "half-heard." Don't let the power of suggestion steer you down false paths. Themother half-hears because she's reading. If the poet wanted to suggest age or poor hearingshe would have refurned to those ideas to make them clearer. Here, she wantJto reinforcethe impression that the mother has made up her mind so fully that she barely bothers withthe details of the trial.

This is an exhemely tricky question. Many students pick answer choices (B) or (C). But thedentist is not said to be a seminarian (a clergyperson). The dentist is uncomfortable, like apriest without the white collar of that profession. The rest of the stanza relates the court-room to a ship (e.g., the "plank," the "deck"). The dentist isn't compared to a condemnedsailor, but is described as though he is one when the mother pushes the fly-speck from thepage and says "she will push him off." This statement refers to the way in which she willpush him from the plank. It also suggests that she thinks of him as easily dismissed and asinsignificant as a fly, and perhaps as repulsive. But the poet does not describe the dentist asa fly-speck. Choice (E) may or may not be true, but it is found neither in the stanza, nor inthe poem.0.ly (D)is corect.

Here you needed to understand that the poem is about the mother and the dentist, notabout other people. That is, you needed to stay with the main idea. The phrase in questionrefers only to the dentist; in fact, choice (C) summarizes it nicely. The dentist is theThackel,wielder of pliers," etc. Yes, some of the items in the list are a bit confusing, but use yourimagination. How is the dentisl a'barbe{'? Well, think of the hydraulic chair you have tosit in, or the bib the dentist pulls around your neck; aren't those things reminiscent of beingin a barbershop?

Here you needed to stay with the main idea and not get drawn toward a silly answer.Throughout the poem, the mother feels herself to be superior to dentists in general andto this dentist in particular. The mother is a tremendous snob; she considers dentists tobe low lifes. Advertising is just one more thing that her-kind-of-people just don't do. Youmight have had some difficulty if you didn't know the word "propiety." It refers to what is

ProPer or polite. POE should have led you to the right answer anryay,however, so long asyou saw that other answers all involved reading much too deeply into the passage.

This is a super POE question and it should have been pretty easy. Choices I and II shouldhave been obvious. The mother finds the dentist guilty simply because he is a dentist, andshe then persuades the rest of the jury that he is guilty. Using POE you are then left withjust choices (D) and (E). So, does the poem imply that the dentist should have been foundinnocent? Not at all. A11 it implies is that the dentist is an unattractive creep who drilleda patient through the tongue. Does this action make him guilty? \{ho knows? Innocent?Again: Who knows? We're never told with what exactly the dentist has been charged.

50' D This is primarily a t-erm question, but you could have arrived at a correct guess withoutknowing that "poetic jushce" refers topunishment that reflects the crime.lFor example, acounterfeiter,buying an expensive old painting with t;g"r money only to discover later thatthe painting is a forgery') In the seventir stanzZ,tnu po"? a"rcribes the dentist now in theposition of a patient, gnpPing the arms of his chair and being most uncomfortably drilled.This sort of reversal atso rils under.the category "r

p""ti. justice. If you were unfamiliarwith the term poetic justice you could haue i-rtiu"J iiu p.rr*uy good guess by readingthe question carefully. It refers to "Mother'r tr.ut*L"i;if the dentist. In which stanza is ttiemother most directly involved with the dTlif, himseu (and not simply the legal process)?In the seventh stanza, where she "strapped him *r, to arru him awuli;'rrri, "ria.rrtandingshould have made (D), the most attractiuu g.r.rr. Guess.By the way, there,s another moretechnical definition of poetic justice, which"grs witt prorauty not use. we cover that defini-tion in our glossary.

51' c There's our old friend irony again. In the phrase "Mce Mrs. Nemesis,, the irony is not verydelicate; in fact, it has almost iecome irony's nasty little brother, sarcasm. To answer thisquestion, it helped a great deal to know that a ,,nimesis,, is an archenemy. 0n the poem,Kizer actually refers to the Greek goddess, N.-erlr, *no represented righteous anger.)If you knew that a nemesis is an a"rchen.*y, o,

"uu.,lusisomething negative (which youcould have figured out from context), you could rtuuJ..uro"ed tha-t,,NIce Mrs. ,something

nasty"' contains the kind of contradiction that makes for irony. Barring that understand-ing' you should have worked with the terms yot, k r"w and,rr.d pOE. All the terms in theanswer choices are covered in our glossary of t.r_r.52' D These I,II, u questions are made for PoE. A{ter reading through the items, you shouldhave gone back to the final stanza.and reread it. Then to'ot ut the items again. \{hich choiceis easiest to decide upon? Choice II should look weird-eir-inut it. The stanzadiscussesthe mother's idea of God; voltaire is an afterthought, anJ ail that,s said is that she finds him"indispensable'" I{hat voltaire's views.le, the pJem doesn't say (and ETS does not expectyou to know voltaire s philosophy).wilh item Ii go.,.,.noi..s @)'and G; u.e go.,e as well.what about item III? social decorum refers to pori"t. uurt"vror. In the last stanza, the mothermentions that God instructs in 'hygi9n3 and deportm.r,ii' thut is, in necessary social graces.Item III is a keeper. Even if you did"n't know what decoru- meant, which makes moresense: the mother believes God agrees lith h91 o. disugre"s ? rf yo:,ug"t A+;;rar drift ofthe poem you should know that ihe Mother thinks God"shu.es her views. Keeping item IIImeans you can eliminate (A). All that,s left are choices (C) and (D). okay, teys.toot atitem I' Here you needed to read closely. she says coJir- i"aispensablei; r6uit gooaenough to justify the.'deeply held" part of item I. \{hat about .,unsophisticated.,,

Is it asophisticated conception or fut. oi"i"e to think that God cares about hygiene? Not really.Furthermore, Kizer's comparison of the mother to ,,true iJoh,urr,, reinforces theunsophisticated idea. Does the mother think she's ,trrroprur,i.uted? Not at all! She thinksshe's hot stuff reading voltaire and all! But the q""riio.iao"sn't ask what the mother thinksof herself' It asks about what-the poem says about her. In the final stanzaKizer has somefun at the mother's expense. Iternl is a keepel, which makes the right answer (D).

Ouestions 29-39. Choose answers to questions 29-39based on a careful reading of the passage below. Thepassage, an excerpt from a short story by Mary E. WilkinsFreeman, describes a woman about to be married after a

long engagement.

Every morning, rising and going about among herneat maidenly possessions, she felt as one lookingher last upon the faces of dear friends. It was true

Line that in a measure she could take them with her, but,(5) robbed of their old environments, they would aPpear

in such new guises that they would almost cease to bethemselves. Then there were some peculiar featuresof her happy solitary life which she would probablybe obliged to relinquish altogether. Sterner tasks than

(10) these graceful but half-needless ones would probablydevolve upon her. There would be a large house to carefor; there would be company to entertain; there wouldbe Joe's rigours and feeble old mother to wait upon;and it would be contrary to all thrifty village traditions

(15) for her to keep more than one servant. Louisa had a

little still, and she used to occupy herself pleasantly insummer weather with distilling the sweet and aromaticessences from roses and peppermint and spearmint.By-and-by her still must be laid away. Her store of

(20) essences was already considerable, and there wouldbe no time for her to distil for the mere pleasure of it.Then Joe's mo*rer would think it foolishness; she hadalready hinted her opinion in the matter. Louisa dearlyloved to sew a linen seam, not always for use, but for

(25) the simple, mild pleasure which she took in it. She

would have been loath to con{ess how more than onceshe had ripped a seam for the mere delight of sewingit together again. Sitting at her wihdow during longsweet afternoons, drawing her needle gently through

60) the dainty fabric, she was peace itself. But there wassmall chance of such foolish comfort in the future. joe'smother, domineering, shrewd old matron that she waseven in her old age, and very likely even ]oe himself,with his honest masculine rudeness, would laugh and

(35) frown down all these pretty but senseless old maidenways.

Louisa had almost the enthusiasm of an artist overthe mere order and cleanliness of her solitary home.She had throbs of genuine triumph at the sight of the

(40) window-panes which she had polished until theyshone like jewels. She gloated gently over her orderlybureau-drawers, with their exquisitely folded contentsredolent with lavender and sweet clover and purity.Could she be sure of the endurance of even this? She

@5) had visions, so startling that she half repudiated themas indelicate, of course masculine belongings strewnabout in endless litter; of dust and disorder arisingnecessarily from a coarse masculine presence in themidst of all this delicate harmony.

(50) Among her forebodings of disturbance, not theleast was with regard to Caesar. Caesar was a veritablehermit of a dog. For the greater part of his life he haddwelt in his secluded hut, shut out from the society ofhis kind and all innocent canine joys. Never had Caesar

(55) since his early youth watched at a woodchuck's hole;never had he known the delights of a stray bone at aneighbor's kitchen door. And it was all on account ofa sin committed when hardly out of his puppyhood.No one knew the possible depth of remorse of which

(60 ) tkrs mild-visaged, altogether innocent-looking olddog might be capable; but whether or not he hadencountered remorse, he had encountered a fullmeasure of righteous retribution. Old Caesar seldomlifted up his voice in a growl or a bark; he was fat

(65) and sleepy; there were yellow rings which lookedlike spectacles around his dim old eyes; but therewas a neighbor who bore on his hand the imprint ofseveral of Caesar's sharp white youthful teeth, andfor that he had lived at the end of a chain, all alone in

(70) alittle hut, for fourteen years. The neighbor, who wascholeric and smarting with the pain of his wound, haddemanded either Caesar's death or complete ostracism.So Louisa's brother, to whom the dog had belonged,had built him his little kennel and tied him up. It was

(75) now fourteen years since, in a flood of youthful spirits,he had inflicted that memorable bite and with theexception of short excursions, always at the end of thechain, under the strict guardianship of his master orLouisa, the old dog had remained a close prisoner. It

(80) is doubtful if, with his limited ambition, he took muchpride in the fact, but it is certain that he was possessedof considerable cheap fame. He was regarded by all thechildren in the village and by many adults as a verymonster of ferocity. Mothers charged their chjldren

(85) with solemn emphasis not to go too near him, andthe children listened and believed greedily, with afascinated appetite for terror, and ran by Louisa's housestealthily, with many sidelong and backward glances atthe terrible dog. If perchance he sounded a hoarse bark,

(90) therc was a panic. Wayfarers chancing into Louisa'syard eyed him with respect, and inquired if the chainwere stout. Caesar at large might have seemed a veryordinary dog, and excited no comment whatever;

SECTION II

Total Time-2 hours

Question 1

(Suggested time--4O minutes. This question counts as one-third of the total essay score.)

The passage that follows is from The Secret History by Donna Tartt (1993). This introd.uction sets the tone for the restof the novel. Read the qas.sagg carefully. Then write a well-organized essay in which you characterize the narrator,sattitude tow-a1d Bunny's death. In_ your essay analyze the liteiary techniques that the'author has used to portray thenarrator and his attitude toward the events that followed. Be suie to include specific references to the passage. '

The snow in the mountains was melting and Bunnyhad been dead for several weeks before we came tounderstand the gravity of our situation. He,d been

Line dead for ten days before they found him, you know. It(5) was one of the biggest manhunts in Vermont history-

state troopers, the FBI, even an army helicopter; thecollege closed, the dye factory in Hampden shut down,people coming from New Hampshire, upstate NewYork, as far away as Boston.

(10) It is difficult to believe that Henry,s modest plancould have worked so well despite these unforeseenevents. We hadn't intended to hide the body where itcouldn't be found. In fact, we hadn,t hidden it at allbut had simply left it where it fell in hopes that some

(15l luckless passer-by would stumble over it before anyoneeven noticed he was missing. This was a tale that tolditself simply and well: the loose rocks, the body at thebottom of the ravine with a break in the neck, ind themucidy skidmarks of dug-in heels pointing the way

(20) down; a hiking accident, no more, no less, and it mighthave been left at that, at quiet tears and a small funeial,had it not been for the snow that fell that night; itcovered him without a trace, and ten days later, whenthe thaw finally came, the state troopers and the FCI

(25) and the searchers from town all saw that they had beenwalking back and forth over his body until the snowabout it was packed down like ice.

years I might have imagined myself to be somewhereelse, in reality I have been there all the time; up at thet9R bf the muddy wheel-ruts in the new grass, wherethe sky is dark over the shivering apple biossoms and

(45) the first chill of the snow that will fall that night isalready in the air.

- Wlu, are you doing up here? Said Bunny, surprised,

when he found the four of us waiting for him.\A/hy, looking for new ferns, said Henry.

(50) And after we stood whispering in the underbrush-one last look at the body and a last look round,no dropped keys, lost glasses, everybody goteverything?-and then started single file through thewoods, I took one glance back through the saplings that

(55) leapt to close the path behind me. Though I remeirberthe walk back and first lonely flakes of snow that camedrifting through the pines, remember piling gratefullyinto the car and starting down the road like a family

-

on vacation, with Henry driving clench-jawed through(60) the potholes and the rest of us leaning over the seats

and talking like children, though I remember only toowell the long terrible night that lay ahead and the longterrible days and nights that followed, I have only toglance over my shoulder for all those years to drop

(65) away and I see it behind me agairy the ravine, risingall green and black tfuough the saplings, a picture tl-ratwill never leave me.

I suppose at one time in my life I might have hadany number of stories, but now there is no other. This is

Q0) the only story I will ever be able to tell.

It is difficult to believe that such an uproar tookplace over an act for which I was partially responsible,

(30) even more difficult to believe I could have walkedthrough it-the cameras, the universe, the black crowdssprinkled over Mount Cataract like ants in a sugarbowl-without incurring a blink of suspicion. Butwalking through it all was one thing; walking away,

(35) unfortunately, has proved to be quite another, andthough once I thought I had left that ravine foreveron an April afternoon long ago, now I am not so sure.Now the searchers have departed, and life has grown

(40) quiet around me, I have come to rcalize that while for

straightforward acc-usations in the text, exceptfor (E)' which is a little obscure. But when Nashe tuirc uuo.rt the preachers, ,,quarter ser-mon"'he means a sermon given once a quartel, only four trmes a year. The implication is

should remember that you have already been asked about round imagery. Remember tokeep your answers consistent across questions. (E) probably fits because the poem certainlydoes describe.unhappy feelings. Thatleaves "r

*itil (A) and (D); you must-ciloose betweena goddess and the man in the moon. There is no explicit refermce to either a goddess or theman in the moory but at least the idea of a goddess seems flattering to tn. u.toved and fitsthe poem better. Therefore, (D) is the least fikely association and the correct answer.

24' D "Diverse" here just means "diffetent";the phrase means "a different place.,, Heaven (A) andhell (B) have no place in the poem at all. Europe (C) is listed as a contnent in the poem, butnot specified as a destination. The ground (E) is jusi an answer for the truly Jesperate.25' A Tears are found throughout all three stanzgl,.although you have to look closely at the finalstanza to find the idea in the word "weep" (line zt)."Glfbes (B) ur" oo1f i1tt*,".ora

stanza' coins (C) are only in the first stanza. The moon (D) is only i" tri. tr,i.a stanza. Theocean (E) is in the second and third stanzas. ocean is almost suggested by the mention ofshores in the first stanza,but it is not as r-fu"g a suggestion as fr"at of ,,i""p;, for tears inthe third stanza, so tears (A) remains the bestinsweli

26. B Line 4 is "And by this mintage they are gomgthing worth.,, ,,They,, refers back to ,,my

tears,,in line 2' The tears are said to be coined by the betved's face (line 3), and the coin meta-phor is carried forward into the use of "rnintage" here; ttre process of being coined is themintage that makes the tears worth gomethin{. The tears reflect her face thi *uy that coinsshow a ruler's.face. By showing the beloved's face, the tears become valuable, like coins.Therefore, (B) is the best paraphrase. (A) is conhary to the sense of the poem, because it saysthe beloved is- worthless. (C) does not reflect.the meaning of the line, "itn""gh

some readersmight be confused if they don't know what ,,mintage,, nieans. (D) is tempti;g, because itsounds nice and fits with the meaning ofthe poem,"frt it overstates-it goes beyond whatthe line means.

faraphrases ut" ,uppor"d to ;estate, not extend. (E) is b;th;ague and sortof New Age, and is not the point.

27' C The speaker asks the lover to "forbearf To teach the sea what it may do,, (lines 21-22) andthat she not let.the wind'Example lind" (line 24) in her behavior. ri. i;,;yi"; rhat thenatural elements -a1e

watghing and learning from her, copying her behavior, ai idea thatis carried forward ft:- ,h: description of iis lover ur tr"rl -*" influencing the tides. Onewould think, in the face of such great love, that she would have the po*"rio ur"ak his heart(A), but that is not mentioned in the specified lines. He does mention dying in these lines(B), but mostly in the context of her power over the elements; he warns her against teachingthe oceans and winds how to kill him, not against killing him herself. The lines assume thatshe has the power to restrain her grief (o), b"ut just tell hir to do so; they do not emphasizethis power the way thgl.do her p6wer over nature. Nowhere in the poem is there anythingmentioned about the right to take other lovers (E).

28' A The speaker flatters.the beloved by exaggerating her powers over natural elements, by de-claring the inestimable value of even theleflection, oi h., image-in other words, throughhyperbole.

32. C There was for many centuries a well-regarded theory that said personalities were influencedby "humors" in

the body: Warm humors in the body caused u.g.y or passionate person-alities, while cold humors caused unemotional or calm personalities. These humors wereaffected by diet and by environment. This is where you get the stereotype of the hot Latinlover who lives in a hopical regory eats spicy food, andls given to fits bf violent temper.It is also where we qet the idea of people being "in a good humor." The bitten neighb^oris described as "choleric," which is another reference to the theory of humors. Louisa isdeliberately feeding her dog bland food to discourage any furthei attacks on the neighbors.She is not poor or she would not be able to have such nice things in her house, so (d) isfalse. The passage does speak metaphorically of Caesar's impriionment, but Louisa is notdeliberately punishing her dog, certainly not for a decade, so p; is wrong. There are manyreferences to hermits and nuns in this story, but dogs do not practice cet6acy as a religiouspractice, so (D) is wrong. (E) is wrong just from context, because the passage mentions thatother kitchens give bones to dogs.

33' B "Redolent" means "smelling of," andbecause purity doesn't have a smell, its use here mustbe metaphorical. Irony (A) is tempting, but there is nothing opposed or contradictory hereto indicate irony. There is no simile (C) because there is no diiect comparison of two things.Because there is no contradiction, there cannot be an oxymoron (D). Niothing is alluded tJ,so (E) is wrong. If you do not know these terms, study the glossary in this b"ook.

34. A The story of Caesar is a gentle satire on the minidramas of small-town life, which findsexcitement in the vicious reputation of an old dog. Clues to the satirical tone are the manyoverwritten references to sin and danger, and especially Louisa's vision of Caesar on a ram-page through the town. Freeman's treatment of this passage is too humorous to be eitherindignant (B) or pensive (C). Because it is clear to the reader, and even to ]oe, that Caesarisn't really dangerous, there is nothing foreboding (D) or menacing (E) in this passage either.The selection does say that Louisa feels many "forebodings of disturbance," includiig rvot-ries about Caesar, but those are Louisa's feelings rather than the tone of the passage, iuhi.hindicates the attitude of the author.

35. E "Sanguinary" means bloody, both in the sense of containing blood and of liking blood. (D),vegetarian, is obviously wrong because it contradicts the meaning of the sentence. The otheranswers draw on ideas raised in previous questions on this piece; remember to keep youranswers consistent. We have already established that financial concerns do not dominateCaesar's diet, so (A) is wrong. (B) and (C) drag in the ideas of masculine and feminine traitsthat predominate in this selection, but they really have nothing to do with what the dogeats.

35. C This question testsfrow well you read Louisa's character, because the entire passage is abouther attitude toward gender relafions. Her meditations on the disorder her future husbandwill bring to her house and on the impending danger of Caesar's release are best summedup in (C). Louisa is living in a society that believes men and women belong together (A),but her worries show that she is not entirely convinced of this. On the othei hind, she is notexplicitly rejecting marriage, so (B) is not the right answer either. (D) introduces the idea ofwildness that you might have associated with Caesar, but it is important to note that Louisadoes not believe she has tamed Caesar, nor does she think she wiil have any influence overher husband, so (D) is wrong. Her belief that joe's decision to release Caesjr will prove di-sastrous shows that she does not think men are more intelligent than women, so (l) is alsowrong.
