Read the following paragraph and select the correct answer:

The gathering was massive, and the bouncers should have been ashamed. Not only had they not accomplished their simple task of collecting invitations at the door, but they had evidently called their friends, families, and CASUAL AQUAINTANCES to crash the gate, as well. At a party that should have been an intimate occasion, no fewer than 80 uninvited "guests" arrived to take more than their fair share of the free food.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 18

Read the following excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson's Essay in the Art of Writing and answer the question:

There is nothing more disenchanting to man than to be shown the springs and mechanism of any art. All our arts and occupations lie wholly on the surface; it is on the surface that we perceive their beauty, fitness, and significance; and to pry below is to be appalled by their emptiness and shocked by the coarseness of the strings and pulleys. In a similar way, psychology itself, when pushed to any nicety, discovers an abhorrent baldness, but rather from the fault of our analysis than from any poverty native to the mind. And perhaps in aesthetics the reason is the same: those disclosures which seem fatal to the dignity of art seem so perhaps only in the proportion of our ignorance; and those conscious and unconscious artifices which it seems unworthy of the serious artist to employ were yet, if we had the power to trace them to their springs, indications of a delicacy of the sense finer than we conceive, and hints of ancient harmonies in nature. I must therefore warn that well-known character, the general reader, that I am here embarked upon a most distasteful business: taking down the picture from the wall and looking on the back; and, like the inquiring child, pulling the musical cart to pieces.

Answer 45

Read the following excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson's Essay in the Art of Writing and answer the question:

The prose writer, in fact, since he is allowed to be so much less harmonious, is condemned to a perpetually fresh variety of movement on a larger scale, and must never disappoint the ear by the trot of an accepted metre. And this obligation is the third orange with which he has to juggle, the third quality which the prose writer must work into his pattern of words. It may be thought perhaps that this is a quality of ease rather than a fresh difficulty; but such is the inherently rhythmical strain of the English language, that the bad writer and must I take for example that admired friend of my boyhood, Captain Reid?—the inexperienced writer, as wingspanens in his earlier attempts to be impressive, and the jaded writer, as any one may see for himself, all tend to fall at once into the production of bad blank verse. And here it may be pertinently asked, Why bad? And I suppose it might be enough to answer that no man ever made good verse by accident, and that no verse can ever sound otherwise than trivial when uttered with the delivery of prose. But we can go beyond such answers.

Answer 46

Yep :) that one is REALLY easy ;)

Answer 47

Which example uses syntax that demonstrates a transition to a more detailed answer coming up?

B "It may be thought perhaps that this is a quality of ease rather than a fresh difficulty"

C "but such is the inherently rhythmical strain of the English language, that the bad writer—and must I take for example that admired friend of my boyhood, Captain Reid?"

D "But we can go beyond such answers."

Answer 62

the words ANALYSIS and INQUIRING are in bold

Answer 63

What's the question ?

Answer 64

What is the difference between the two terms in bold?

A The author first uses the word "analysis" to explain what people should never do, but then he changes his mind and says only children should be allowed.

B The author first uses the word "analysis" to refer to literature, but then he mentions the inquiring child who is unable to conduct a thorough analysis.

C The author begins with a description of analysis as a beautiful thing, but he ends with the idea of an inquiring child, who does not appreciate the art.

D The author begins with a description of analysis as an ugly thing, but he ends with the idea of an inquiring child, who is looking more closely to learn.
