 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.

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 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 shortcom-
ings 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 under-
stand 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 be-
cause 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).

11. C 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 writ-
ers, 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.

23' B This is a question that many students get

wrong. Always retum to the passage. The
third
l h.,.ry*,
stanza presents a dramatic reversal
ery from the previous stanzas with an antithetical -*riirg and direction;t;ufig"ru.,g imag-
meanin!. In the first two stanzas,spring
and all the image-ry of spring are used to.tup..r".,iilrh;
energy, and life. you might easily
think then that-winteq, ui spring'r oppo.site, rwr.ru't,

says tharlow 'winter passeth after the long

clJu.tf ,iJ to death anh ur spring
in the final stanza is a metaphor for the jJy of
,e.r.,ioi *irn coa. In the final "it*rir..
stanza, God
offers death as a joyous springlike o..urior,.
It is earthly life, separate from the Maker, which
is the long Winter.

24. C 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.
25. e 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
trouble' this question might have as well. The you
incorrect .h;i;.r offei various m#readings
and over interpretations.

26' c 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).
27 ' 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
sentence (in your mind-you shouldn't the
need to actually write it down) into a more

 this novel or itssequels, 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 opin-
ion' 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
the Passage
-- pj
is choice --ae! is t|o extreme for
\-/ tnat

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. An-
swer 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 an-
Jhe
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, 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 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 ,,charac-
i'
ter 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 court-
room 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.

 50' D 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
the painting is a forgery') In the seventir that

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

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 defini-
tion in our glossary.
51' c There's our old friend irony again. In the
phrase "Mce Mrs. Nemesis,, the irony is
delicate; in fact, it has almost iecome irony's not very
nasty little brother, sarcasm. To answer
question, it helped a great deal to know that ,,nimesis,, this
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 understand-
ing' you should have worked with the terms
yot, k r"w and,rr.d pOE. All the terms in
answer choices are covered in our glossary the
of t.r_r.
52' D 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,

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
the poem you should know that ihe Mother lith h91thinks God"shu.es her views. Keeping item
means you can eliminate (A). All that,s left III
are choices (C) and (D). okay, teys.toot
item I' Here you needed to read closely. she at
says coJir- i"aispensablei; r6uit gooa
enough to justify the.'deeply held" part of
item I. \{hat about .,unsophisticated.,, Is it
sophisticated conception or fut. oi"i"e to think a
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
of herself' It asks about what-the poem says thinks
about her. In the final stanzaKizer has some
fun at the mother's expense. Iternl is a keepel,
which makes the right answer (D).

 Ouestions 29-39. Choose answers to questions 29-39
based on a careful reading of the passage below. The
passage, an excerpt from a short story by Mary E. Wilkins
Freeman, describes a woman about to be married after a
long engagement.
Every morning, rising and going about among her
neat maidenly possessions, she felt as one looking
her 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 be
themselves. Then there were some peculiar features
of her happy solitary life which she would probably
be obliged to relinquish altogether. Sterner tasks than
(10) these graceful but half-needless ones would probably
devolve upon her. There would be a large house to care
for; there would be company to entertain; there would
be 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 in
summer weather with distilling the sweet and aromatic
essences 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 would
be no time for her to distil for the mere pleasure
Then Joe's mo*rer would think it foolishness; she had
already hinted her opinion in the matter. Louisa dearly
loved 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 once
she had ripped a seam for the mere delight of sewing
it together again. Sitting at her wihdow during long
sweet afternoons, drawing her needle gently through
60) the dainty fabric, she was peace itself. But there was
small chance of such foolish comfort in the future. joe's
mother, domineering, shrewd old matron that she was
even 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 maiden
ways.
Louisa had almost the enthusiasm of an artist over
the 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 they
shone like jewels. She gloated gently over her orderly
bureau-drawers, with their exquisitely folded contents
redolent 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 them
as indelicate, of course masculine belongings strewn
about in endless litter; of dust and disorder arising
necessarily from a coarse masculine presence in the
midst of all this delicate harmony.
I88 ff CRACKING THE AP TNGLISH LITTRATURE TXAM
(50) Among her forebodings of disturbance, not the
least was with regard to Caesar. Caesar was a veritable
hermit of a dog. For the greater part of his life he had
dwelt in his secluded hut, shut out from the society of
his 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 a
neighbor's kitchen door. And it was all on account of
a 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 old
dog might be capable; but whether or not he had
encountered remorse, he had encountered a full
measure of righteous retribution. Old Caesar seldom
lifted up his voice in a growl or a bark; he was fat
(65) and sleepy; there were yellow rings which looked
like spectacles around his dim old eyes; but there
was a neighbor who bore on his hand the imprint of
several of Caesar's sharp white youthful teeth, and
for that he had lived at the end of a chain, all alone in
(70) alittle hut, for fourteen years. The neighbor, who was
choleric and smarting with the pain of his wound, had
demanded 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,
of it. he had inflicted that memorable bite and with the
exception of short excursions, always at the end of the
chain, under the strict guardianship of his master or
Louisa, the old dog had remained a close prisoner. It
(80) is doubtful if, with his limited ambition, he took much
pride in the fact, but it is certain that he was possessed
of considerable cheap fame. He was regarded by all the
children in the village and by many adults as a very
monster of ferocity. Mothers charged their chjldren
(85) with solemn emphasis not to go too near him, and
the children listened and believed greedily, with a
fascinated appetite for terror, and ran by Louisa's house
stealthily, with many sidelong and backward glances at
the terrible dog. If perchance he sounded a hoarse bark,
(90) therc was a panic. Wayfarers chancing into Louisa's
yard eyed him with respect, and inquired if the chain
were stout. Caesar at large might have seemed a very
ordinary dog, and excited no comment whatever;

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

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 history-
state 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 underbrush-
one 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.
I suppose at one time in my life I might have had
any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is
Q0) the only story I will ever be able to tell.

 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.
24' D "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.
25' A 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
as fr"at of ,,i""p;, for tears in
shores in the first stanza,but it is not as r-fu"g a suggestion
the 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 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
of New Age, and is not the point.
sort

27' C 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
ft:-
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).
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, through
hyperbole.

 32. 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 person-
the
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 ram-
page 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 rvot-
ries 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 di-
sastrous shows that she does not think men are more intelligent than women, so (l) is also
wrong.
