Multiple Choice Exercise #2 D
Review MC Exercise #3 E #4 D
Short Answer Exercise 1-5 #2 The word here should be "solely" or "only." "Merely" suggests something smaller and less significant. #3 "Childishness" suggests a negative connotation and more typically refers to an adult who behaves like a child. A better phrase would be "a certain childlike quality." #4 "Brittle" suggests that the object will snap easily from pressure; the word is more typically applied to bones. A better choice here would be "fragile." #7 "Spurn" is generally used to indicate disdainful or scornful rejection, as a woman might do to a suitor whom she has no interest in; its connotative value is too negative for this context. "Reject" or "turn down" would be better choices. # 8 A headache can't be "healed" in the sense that a broken bone or a wound heals. Since it's a temporary condition, the pain of a headache can be "relieved." #9 A "retort" is a sharp answer, either out of impatience or out of annoyance, and that connotation doesn't fit the behavior of someone who is quiet and hesitant. A neutral word would be "answer." #10 Interestingly, the word "mannish" usually is reserved for women with masculine qualities (whereas "effeminate" is used to describe men with feminine characteristics). A better word here would be "masculine" or "virile." #12 To "pine for" means to long for something from the past; one "craves" a hamburger, perhaps, because it is something to look forward to in the future.

#10 Chapter 6-7 #2 B #10 Veneer literally refers to a thin piece of decorative wood used in furniture. The writer means that civilized behavior can easily be "stripped away," exposing barbarism and cruelty that lies just beneath. #11 the great height of the rubble #14 Like acne, these bullet holes leave scars and disfigure the buildings' appearance. #15 a thatched roof. #18 C #19 D #22 C
