Answer 1

Questions 3-5 are based on the following passage from "Bartleby, the Scrivener":

"Nothing so aggravates an earnest person as a passive resistance. If the individual so resisted be of a not inhumane temper, and the resisting one perfectly harmless in his passivity, then, in the better moods of the former, he will endeavor charitably to construe to his imagination what proves impossible to be solved by his judgment. Even so, for the most part, I regarded Bartleby and his ways."

The meaning of the passage can best be interpreted as:

individuals who practice passive resistance should do so in a manner that isn’t inhumane.
it’s important to judge the character of an individual who’s practicing passive resistance.
if the individual who’s practicing passive resistance does so in a harmless manner, an earnest person will attempt to understand the resistance through imagination.
an earnest person is aggravated by the fact that an individual practicing passive resistance lacks judgment.
someone who’s engaged in passive resistance must possess a strong imagination.


In this passage, "[e]ven so" means:

in spite of this.
all things being equal.
however.
conversely.
in this manner.


In this passage, he refers to:

Bartleby.
"the resisting one."
"the individual so resisted."
"a passive resistance."
None of the above
