Which of the following scenarios does not involve the analysis of multiple interpretations?
A car salesman tells you that you must purchase the protection plan when you buy a new vehicle. You do not want to purchase the protection plan, so you seek a different salesman and get a second opinion. Teammates are arguing over who should start in the state championship game. You approach your coach and ask him to intervene. Your coach asks both of you why you think you should start. You have been asked to write an essay about your future goals. Your teacher informs you that your essay will be scored by two different people and your final grade will be an average of both scores. Your teacher tells you that the administration has an important announcement regarding the school dance. Your Assistant Principal comes into your class to announce that the dance has been cancelled. Later that same day, the Principal comes into the class to announce that the location for the dance has been changed.

HELLOOOO!?!? @apoorvk r u there??!?!
Okay. Here. Now. 1st one - I see that the situation is being analysed by two different salesman. So, does this one satisfy the requirement of our question?
nope
Okay so, this one's not. Next, the coach asks for two opinions. What about this one? Also, the third one - two different teachers are supposed to scrutinize your answer. What about this?
both of them are wrong
do the answer is D?
Yep. By eliminating the first 3 options. Also, because in this case, the principal isn't analysing the scenario. He/She is simply making a statement about the occurrence of the dance.
right
what about this one? my last one
Determine the meaning of the underlined word in this sentence: King Kong straddled the building as he considered whether to jump down and face an angry mob or whether to battle the helicopter flying closer and closer to him. climbed steadily up sat with one leg on each side balanced uncontrollably on grabbed ahold of
straddled is the underlined word
Hmm. So King Kong can't go up here, nor can't he move down. So, probably he stays put at his place, hanging on to the building, pondering. In which position would he be doing, so that he doesn't slip off? :] P.S. - I would suggest posting new questions as fresh posts next time onwards.
is it D? @apoorvk
Nope. Not the literal meaning of straddled. What other option could fit?
B? @apoorvk
Yes, it's B. In fact, the literal meaning of 'straddle' is 'to sit or stand with one leg on either side'. Google the word for more.
do u mind looking out for my questions that I'll be posting if I need any help plz? you were really helpful to me
