Ouestions 16-27. Choose your answers to each of the following questions based on careful reading of the following poem by Christina Rossetti. Passing away, saith the World, passing away: Chances, beauty and youth sapped day by day:

Thy life never continueth in one stay. Line Is the eye waxen dim, is the dark hair changing to gray (5) That hath won neither laurel nor bay? I shall clothe myself in Spring and bud in May: Thou, root stricken, shalt not rebuild thy decay On my bosom for aye. Then I answered: Yea. (10) Passrng away, saith my Soul, passing away: With its burden of fear and hope, or labor and play; Hearken what the past doth witness and say: Rust in thy gold, a moth is in thine array, A canker is in thy bud, thy leaf must decay. (15) At midnight, at cockcrow, at moming, one certain day Lo the bridegroom shall come and shall not delay: Watch thou and pray. Then I answered: Yea. Passing away, saith my God, passing away: (20) Wrnter passeth after the long delay: New grapes on the vine, new figs on the tender spray, Turtle calleth turtle in Heaven's May. Tho'I tarry, wait for Me, trust Me, watch and pray. Arise, come away, night is past and 1o it is day, (25) My love, My sister, My spouse, thou shalt hear Me say. Then I answered: Yea. 16.

However' the term "elusii'e" eliminates the answer ul.urr" ,,elusive,, indicates that it is intangible and mysterious' The concrete comparisons that are used in lines 5-10 would also help to eliminate this answer. choice (c) indicate, tr,uiir,u comparisons that are made are farfetched and do not have any concrete references. This is not the case. Choice (D) indicates that there is no depth to the impression thelandr*p";;; made on the narrator. This is the exact opposite of what has occurred. (E) is tn" .orruit ur,r...r. The comparisons used in these lines are predominately similes, and when you .orrtirr.re reading, it is evident that the use of venus and the use of ihe whale ure symboii.. v.""r, the brightest planet in the sky, is used in contrast with a black whale **.ni.,g ,.u.hro, venus is symbolic of passion 1 and romdntic notions, whereas the whale ir u ry*u'oio?.urti,ry and pragmatic ideals.

Make sure you understand what this question is asking. To answer it, you need to first think about what the narrator's tone is as he describes the isiand H.:, its beauty. Now' what is the effect of this awe? Choice p..tty tal redundant'and does not really address how the tone advances his anriciparion of the one "facade?" This choice is only partially correcf the narrator is expressing something about the setting' However,

he is noioffering a logical of the lack of towns on the island (D); this does not really suit the toneif thing with (E)-the narrator is riot offering u objective analysis. so what aou, i,i, u*ed :?Jd., description of the island,s beauty do? rthighlights ihe contrast'befween nature and the intellect, choice (C).

tious events that follow in this passage, as is evident by the narrator's understanding of the misconception of the harmony he felt. If you chose (C) you may have recognized the names from Greek mythology, but there is no mention of the history of the island by the narrator. If you 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 its natural beauty that captivates the narrator. You could eliminate choice (E) because nowhere in the passage is there a reference to violence. Once again, you might have been able to make the correct choice using the Process of Elimination.

I

8.D

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's impression of education on the island. ln this case, choice (A) can be eliminated because the education is a solid and practical British education, not superficial. You can also eliminate choice (B) because it may be annoying to the narrator, but it is not archaic, merely adequate and 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, but it is not perplexing to the speaker. He understands that the education is adequaie, but he is frustrated that it does not involve more of a romantic notion of education. Therefore, the best answer is choice (D).

9.A

The speaker finds the school constricting and the students exasperating. Th.y preferred to talk 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 it was more than disappointment that the narrator felf it was frustratiory as shown by the way he developed his examples in a repetitive, almost sarcastic manner.

10.

A

11.

C

This type of question posses the most difficulty for students. Once again,you need to look carefully at the question and the choices you are given. Eliminate the choices that do not supply the correct implications. It is hue that the narrator believes that there are shortcomings in the British educational system. The education fostered an interest for science and little for literature. If you decided that choice I was a correct answer, you are on the right track. You can eliminate choice (C) and choice (D). if you look at choice II you will seJthat the "myopic" (limited) vision of the students who only want to learn scientific information and not that of [terafure, also makes selection II a valid statement. Because the choices that are left all include If you have to look at III and IV to determine whether or not they also apPly- Selection III may be true, but you need to refer to line 80 to make sure you understand what the object of reference is to "mole-like blindness." You can easily determine that this reference loosely applies to education. In that case, you can eliminate selection III because it refers to all inhabitants of the island. We do not know if this statement is true based on this selection. Now you can also eliminate choices (E) and (B). Choice IV is not true, and therefore you are left with choice (A). This question requires you to know some basic literary terminology. Parody is not evident in this passage; you can eliminate choice (A). Aposhophe, which is often used in poetry, is not used in this passage. You can eliminate choice (B). Repetition is often used by good writers, but choice (D) indicates that the attitude of the speaker is emphasized by theiiusage. So choice (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 literary passages/ does depend on the author's use of imagery to make his point. So keep choice (C). Thai leaves (C) as the correct answer.

This is a question that many students get wrong. Always retum to the passage. The third stanza presents a dramatic reversal and direction;t;ufig"ru.,g imag-*riirg ery from the previous stanzas with an antithetical meanin!.

As with all questions with longer answers, you must read carefully and eliminate when an answer is partially correct. Partially correct means all wrong. otherwise, the reasoning behind this question is fully covered in the

expla;;;;;stion

23.

fnferstanding the lines in question is not as much about the lines themselves as it is about letting them make sense in the overall context of the poem. If you understood the bulk of the poem, then this question shouldn't have been difficult. If the poem itself gave you trouble' this question might have as well. The incorrect .h;i;.r offei various m#readings and over interpretations. one of the easiest questions on the test. This is essentially a vocabulary question, but chances are you were unfamiliar withthe pusugJr ffi of the word ,,sptay.,,Figure out the meaning from the context. None of the incoiect ans'wers makes ,.rrru ir,'.or,text except possibly (A), and we hope that befween (A) and (C), you chose (C).

D You are certain to see a question (or two or three) like this one

on your test. If you got this question wron8, brush up on your skills with our section on gramrnar for the Ap English Literature and Composition Exam (page 53). As outlined in tiat section, th;;";;way to figure out the construction of the kind-of sentence ETS likes to ask about is to rewrite the sentence (in your mind-you shouldn't need to actually write it down) into a more nafural form' The sentences ETS ihooses are never straightfor#ard "subject, u.ru, air*t-object, indirect 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 shalt hear me say," should 6. ,.*ritt rl

"Thou shalt hear me say, 'Arise, come away, night is past and lo it is day,

this novel or its

sequels, in particulTr,Fyml Parsonage,in which the rivalry of l\u[rs. Grantly .w and Mrs' Proudie is given substantial attention. It cert"ainly is not the authoi,s intention to suggest a rivalry,.although he.may have intended to foresiradow it. Choice (E) has some merit' From the description of Mrs. Grantly, it certainly seems as if the author favors women who 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 limits of a woman's rule." Nevertheless, the ranguage in the answer choice, ,,assert why women should be seen, and not heard,'- suggests tlatine author provides evidence for a position stronger 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, answer choice (B), his opening comments make it clearihat"what hl'presents is hiJ subjective opinion' Given that, answer choice (C), emotional judgment,mightte tempting, urrif,ir language is 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 --ae! is t|o extreme for \-/ tnat -- pj the Passage

,

34'

B

We get no sense of Dr. Proudie's devotion to his wife or of his moral compass, no matter what we might want to in{er from knowing his profession, so answer choice (A) is out. Answer choice (B) is supported by the text.of Ihe third paragraph. Choice (C) and (D) suggest a happy and loving mariage, not the picture painted ly?rrir purugrupl,. (Ef -igt , describe Mrs. 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 which his own house can ever attain." Choices (A) refers most nearly to a quality be'siattributed to Mrs' Proudie' Choices (B) and (E) are.not gupported by the text. Choice (D) is a trap answer for those who read quickly and saw that the pasrug. liuu, about the clergy and religious

matters. 36,

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

phrase or word questiory primary dictionary d"fir,itiorr,'.hoice (D) is offered as an anJhe swer choice, as is a word it kind of sounds like, choice (B). The other choices have no merit whatsoever.

37.

C

The repetition of the phrase "woe betide" accenfuates the seriousness of the servants, situation' 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 the passage/ so (D) is incorrect. Choice (E) is too exheme.

38.

B

Even if you weren't familiar with the Victorian use of "chatactet,, as shorthand for ,,character reference youcould derive the meaning from the context of the passage-the maid has been 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 of the word, as opposed to theiontextual meaning. Choice (D) is a trap for the careless reader who sees "characte{' and "foot" near each.oihei in the passage and overinterprets-perhaps thinking 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 takes her responsibilities too lightly, and her certainty about the whole affair tells us that she has no doubts about her fihress as a juror.

42. B This question should have been a piece of cake. You did not need to read too much into the phrase "half-heard." Don't let the power of suggestion steer you down false paths. The mother half-hears because she's reading. If the poet wanted to suggest age or poor hearing she would have refurned to those ideas to make them clearer. Here, she wantJto reinforce the impression that the mother has made up her mind so fully that she barely bothers with the details of the trial. 43.D This is an exhemely tricky question. Many students pick answer choices (B) or (C). But the dentist is not said to be a seminarian (a clergyperson). The dentist is uncomfortable, like a priest without the white collar of that profession. The rest of the stanza relates the courtroom to a ship (e.g., the "plank," the "deck"). The dentist isn't compared to a condemned sailor, but is described as though he is one when the mother pushes the fly-speck from the page and says "she will push him off." This statement refers to the way in which she will push him from the plank. It also suggests that she thinks of him as easily dismissed and as insignificant as a fly, and perhaps as repulsive. But the poet does not describe the dentist as a fly-speck. Choice (E) may or may not be true, but it is found neither in the stanza, nor in the poem.0.ly (D)is corect.

M.C

Here you needed to understand that the poem is about the mother and the dentist, not about other people. That is, you needed to stay with the main idea. The phrase in question refers 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 your imagination. How is the dentisl a'barbe{'? Well, think of the hydraulic chair you have to sit in, or the bib the dentist pulls around your neck; aren't those things reminiscent of being in a barbershop?

45. E 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 and to this dentist in particular. The mother is a tremendous snob; she considers dentists to be low lifes. Advertising is just one more thing that her-kind-of-people just don't do. You might 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 as you saw that other answers all involved reading much too deeply into the passage. 46.D This is a super POE question and it should have been pretty easy. Choices I and II should have been obvious. The mother finds the dentist guilty simply because he is a dentist, and she then persuades the rest of the jury that he is guilty. Using POE you are then left with just choices (D) and (E). So, does the poem imply that the dentist should have been found innocent? Not at all. A11 it implies is that the dentist is an unattractive creep who drilled a 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.

This is primarily a t-erm question, but you could have arrived at a correct guess without knowing that "poetic jushce" refers topunishment that reflects the crime.lFor example, a counterfeiter,buying an expensive old painting with t;g"r money only to discover later that the painting is a forgery') In the seventir stanzZ,tnu po"? a"rcribes the dentist now in the position of a patient, gnpPing the arms of his chair and being most uncomfortably drilled. This sort of reversal atso rils under.the category p""ti. justice. If you were unfamiliar with the term poetic justice you could haue i-rtiu"J "r iiu p.rr*uy good guess by reading the question carefully. It refers to "Mother'r tr.ut*L"i;if the dentist. In which stanza is ttie mother 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, should have made (D), the most attractiuu g.r.rr. "ria.rrtanding Guess.By the way, there,s another more technical definition of poetic justice, which"grs witt prorauty not use. we cover that definition in our glossary.

There's our old friend irony again. In the phrase "Mce Mrs. Nemesis,, the irony is not very delicate; in fact, it has almost iecome irony's nasty little brother, sarcasm. To answer this question, it helped a great deal to know that ,,nimesis,, a 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, negative (which you could have figured out from context), you could"uu.,lusisomething rtuuJ..uro"ed tha-t,,NIce Mrs. ,something nasty"' contains the kind of contradiction that makes for irony. Barring that understanding' you should have worked with the terms yot, k r"w and,rr.d pOE. All the terms in the answer choices are covered in our glossary of t.r_r. These I,II, u questions are made for PoE. A{ter reading through the items, you should have gone back to the final stanza.and reread it. Then to'ot ut the items again. \{hich choice is easiest to decide upon? Choice II should look weird-eir-inut it. The stanzadiscusses the 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 expect

you 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 mother mentions 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 more sense: the mother believes God agrees o. disugre"s ? rf yo:,ug"t A+;;rar drift of lith h91 the poem you should know that ihe Mother thinks God"shu.es her views. Keeping item III means you can eliminate (A). All that,s left are choices (C) and (D). okay, teys.toot at item I' Here you needed to read closely. she says coJir- i"aispensablei; r6uit gooa enough to justify the.'deeply held" part of item I. \{hat about .,unsophisticated.,, Is it a sophisticated 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 the unsophisticated idea. Does the mother think she's ,trrroprur,i.uted? Not at all! She thinks she's hot stuff reading voltaire and all! But the q""riio.iao"sn't ask what the mother thinks of herself' It asks about what-the poem says about her. In the final stanzaKizer has some fun at the mother's expense. Iternl is a keepel, which makes the right answer (D).

Question

(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 rest of the novel. Read the qas.sagg carefully. Then write a well-organized essay in which you characterize the narrator,s attitude tow-a1d Bunny's death. In_ your essay analyze the liteiary techniques that the'author has used to portray the narrator 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 Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand 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 historystate troopers, the FBI, even an army helicopter; the college closed, the dye factory in Hampden shut down, people coming from New Hampshire, upstate New York, as far away as Boston. (10) It is difficult to believe that Henry,s modest plan could have worked so well despite these unforeseen events. We hadn't intended to hide the body where it couldn't be found. In fact, we hadn,t hidden it at all but had simply left it where it fell in hopes that some (15l luckless passer-by would stumble over it before anyone even noticed he was missing. This was a tale that told itself simply and well: the loose rocks, the body at the bottom of the ravine with a break in the neck, ind the mucidy skidmarks of dug-in heels pointing the way (20) down; a hiking accident, no more, no less, and it might have been left at that, at quiet tears and a small funeial, had it not been for the snow that fell that night; it covered him without a trace, and ten days later, when the thaw finally came, the state troopers and the FCI (25) and the searchers from town all saw that they had been walking back and forth over his body until the snow about it was packed down like ice. It is difficult to believe that such an uproar took place over an act for which I was partially responsible, (30) even more difficult to believe I could have walked through it-the cameras, the universe, the black crowds sprinkled over Mount Cataract like ants in a sugar bowl-without incurring a blink of suspicion. But walking through it all was one thing; walking away, (35) unfortunately, has proved to be quite another, and though once I thought I had left that ravine forever on 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

years I might have imagined myself to be somewhere else, in reality I have been there all the time; up at the t9R bf the muddy wheel-ruts in the new grass, where the sky is dark over the shivering apple biossoms and (45) the first chill of the snow that will fall that night is already 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 underbrushone last look at the body and a last look round, no dropped keys, lost glasses, everybody got everything?-and then started single file through the woods, I took one glance back through the saplings that (55) leapt to close the path behind me. Though I remeirber the walk back and first lonely flakes of snow that came drifting through the pines, remember piling gratefully into 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 too well the long terrible night that lay ahead and the long terrible days and nights that followed, I have only to glance over my shoulder for all those years to drop (65) away and I see it behind me agairy the ravine, rising all green and black tfuough the saplings, a picture tl-rat will never leave me.

should remember that you have already been asked about round imagery. Remember to keep your answers consistent across questions. (E) probably fits because the poem certainly does describe.unhappy feelings. Thatleaves *itil (A) and (D); you must-ciloose between a goddess and the man in the moon. There is"r no explicit refermce to either a goddess or the man in the moory but at least the idea of a goddess seems flattering to tn. u.toved and fits

the poem better. Therefore, (D) is the least fikely association and the correct answer.

"Diverse" here just means "diffetent";the phrase means "a different place.,, Heaven (A) and hell (B) have no place in the poem at all. Europe (C) is listed as a contnent in the poem, but not specified as a destination. The ground (E) is jusi an answer for the truly Jesperate. Tears are found throughout all three stanzgl,.although you have to look closely at the final stanza 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. The ocean (E) is in the second and third stanzas. ocean is almost suggested by the mention of shores in the first stanza,but it is not as r-fu"g a suggestion as fr"at of ,,i""p;, for tears in the third stanza, so tears (A) remains the bestinsweli

Line 4 is "And by this mintage they are ,,They,, gomgthing worth.,, 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 metaphor is carried forward into the use of "rnintage" here; ttre process of being coined is the mintage that makes the tears worth gomethin{. The tears reflect her face thi *uy that coins show 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 says the beloved is- worthless. (C) does not reflect.the meaning of the line, some readers might be confused if they don't know what ,,mintage,, "itn""gh because nieans. (D) is tempti;g, it sounds nice and fits with the meaning ofthe poem,"frt it overstates-it goes beyond what the line means. ut" ,uppor"d to ;estate, not extend. (E) is b;th;ague and faraphrases sort of New Age, and is not the point.

The speaker asks the lover to "forbearf To teach the sea what it may do,, (lines 21-22) and that she not let.the wind'Example lind" (line 24) in her behavior. ri. i;,;yi"; rhat the natural elements watghing and learning from her, copying her behavior, ai idea that is carried forward-a1e ,h: description of iis lover ur tr"rl influencing the tides. One would 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 teaching the oceans and winds how to kill him, not against killing him herself. The lines assume that she has the power to restrain her grief (o), b"ut just tell hir to do so; they do not emphasize this power the way thgl.do her p6wer over nature. Nowhere in the poem is there anything mentioned about the right to take other lovers (E).

The speaker flatters.the beloved by exaggerating her powers over natural elements, by declaring the inestimable value of even theleflection, oi h., image-in other words, through hyperbole.

C

There was for many centuries a well-regarded theory that said personalities were influenced by "humors" in body: Warm humors in the body caused u.g.y or passionate personthe alities, while cold humors caused unemotional or calm personalities. These humors were affected by diet and by environment. This is where you get the stereotype of the hot Latin lover 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^or is described as "choleric," which is another reference to the theory of humors. Louisa is deliberately 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) is false. The passage does speak metaphorically of Caesar's impriionment, but Louisa is not deliberately punishing her dog, certainly not for a decade, so p; is wrong. There are many references to hermits and nuns in this story, but dogs do not practice cet6acy as a religious practice, so (D) is wrong. (E) is wrong just from context, because the passage mentions that other kitchens give bones to dogs.

33'

B

"Redolent" means "smelling of," andbecause purity doesn't have a smell, its use here must be metaphorical. Irony (A) is tempting, but there is nothing opposed or contradictory here to 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 finds excitement in the vicious reputation of an old dog. Clues to the satirical tone are the many overwritten references to sin and danger, and especially Louisa's vision of Caesar on a rampage through the town. Freeman's treatment of this passage is too humorous to be either indignant (B) or pensive (C). Because it is clear to the reader, and even to ]oe, that Caesar isn'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 rvotries about Caesar, but those are Louisa's feelings rather than the tone of the passage, iuhi.h indicates 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 other answers draw on ideas raised in previous questions on this piece; remember to keep your answers consistent. We have already established that financial concerns do not dominate Caesar's diet, so (A) is wrong. (B) and (C) drag in the ideas of masculine and feminine traits that predominate in this selection, but they really have nothing to do with what the dog eats.

35.

C

This question testsfrow well you read Louisa's character, because the entire passage is about her attitude toward gender relafions. Her meditations on the disorder her future husband will bring to her house and on the impending danger of Caesar's release are best summed

up 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 not explicitly rejecting marriage, so (B) is not the right answer either. (D) introduces the idea of wildness that you might have associated with Caesar, but it is important to note that Louisa does not believe she has tamed Caesar, nor does she think she wiil have any influence over her husband, so (D) is wrong. Her belief that joe's decision to release Caesjr will prove disastrous shows that she does not think men are more intelligent than women, so (l) is also wrong. 204
