1 NOT GRADED
What are the two characteristics of these waves that the author emphasizes in the paragraph?
Your Answer: He describes the strength of the waves and the volume of the sound the waves make. This is the conclusion I came to after reading this paragraph. The author uses a lot of descriptive words to allow me, as the reader, to appreciate the situation the author was in while trying to surf.
2 NOT GRADED
In sentence 1, Finnegan compares his ankle leash (the device that anchored his ankle to the surfboard) to a piece of string. What does this comparison suggest about the first wave?
Your Answer: This comparison suggests the first wave is very strong, overpowering in strength compared to the ankle leash. This is the conclusion I came to as the author described the strength of the ankle leash and essentially how the strength of the ankle leash was no match for the strength of the wave.
3 NOT GRADED
What is the simile in sentence 3 meant to emphasize?
Your Answer: The enormity of the wave, how big the wave was. This is the conclusion I came to because when describing a three story building, one gets the sense of how tall the structure is and the visual is of an enormous structure towering over the person. Likewise, the wave the author is describing such as like a three story building allows the reader to experience the visual of how enormous this wave must be since the author compares it to the three story building.
4 NOT GRADED
Explain what Finnegan means in sentence 12 by the phrase "like some nightmare of gravity."
Your Answer: He is meaning a feeling of weightlessness, not in control of the situation. The nightmare being a fear of the unknown..one minute you are going backwards and then the sensation of going upwards hits. Like gravity playing a trick on you. This is the conclusion I came to. I came to this conclusion as a nightmare is something that evokes fear within a person, typically waking the person up in a panic; likewise, gravity and the unknown of it in this particular situation can seem like a nightmare as fear could possibly overtake the person who is in the waves, such as the author in this story.

1 NOT GRADED
Find two of the four similes in this paragraph and tell what is compared to what.Your Answer: 1. His hair was long and tangled and greasy, and hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through like he was behind vines. *Hair is compared to vines. 2. His hat was laying on the floor, an old black slouch with the top caved in, like a lid. *Hat is compared to a lid. This is the conclusion I came too. The hair and vines are compared to each other – hair is almost scraggly in appearance, a twisted mess and vines can appear this same way when looking at them.
2 NOT GRADED
What can you infer about the financial condition of this man?Your Answer: I can infer that this man was a very poor man. This is the conclusion I came to based on the description of the clothing the man was wearing and his aesthetics.
3 NOT GRADED
List two facts that substantiate your inference.Your Answer: 1. His clothes were just rags. 2. His boot was busted and two of his toes stuck through. This is the conclusion I came to. Typically when you see a person in tattered and torn clothing the inference would be that the person is poor.
4 NOT GRADED
What color is stressed in the paragraph?Your Answer: White This is the conclusion I came to as this described the man’s face.
5 NOT GRADED
Does the man's attire complement his physical attributes? Why or why not?Your Answer: Yes. The man's attire is unkempt and dirty just like his physical appearance - greasy tangled hair, no color in his face. This is the conclusion that I came to as the attire shows one who is poor and the physical attributes (appearance) shows a person who, likewise, is poor.

1 NOT GRADED
The young man was really very comely, for he had wavy hair and striking blue eyes.
Your Answer: Comely suggests someone who is attractive or fair. In reference to a man, a better choice would be "handsome".
FeedBack: "Comely" usually refers to attractive young girls, and not to men. Try "handsome" instead.
2 NOT GRADED
The evangelist does not intend his crusades to make money; they are merely to improve the religious lives of the audience.
Your Answer: Merely suggests that the crusades are unimportant. A better choice of word would be "intended".
FeedBack: The word here should be "solely" or "only." "Merely" suggests something smaller and less significant.
I chose the word “intended” here because this seemed to be more appropriate than merely. I understand the author’s choices of solely or only in this context, too.
3 NOT GRADED
Although she was really twenty-one, there was a certain childishness in her voice and manner, setting her apart from the other girls and delighting everyone who met her.
Your Answer: Childishness has almost a negative connontation with respect to this 21-year-old, implying she is not an adult. A better choice would be "youthfulness".
FeedBack: "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."
I chose youthfulness as I have heard this used to describe a person who looks younger than their stated age.
4 NOT GRADED
Handle this Ming vase with care; it's very brittle.
Your Answer: Brittle is used out of context here. Brittle, when one thinks of it, can refer to candy, crunchy candy. A better choice of adjective here would be "fragile".
FeedBack: "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."
5 NOT GRADED
What especially interests newcomers is the absolute smoothness of the landscape in Kansas and other Midwestern states.
Your Answer: Smoothness is not typically used when describing landscape. A better choice of word would be "beauty"
FeedBack: Fabric is smooth; a landscape is flat, so "flatness" would be a better choice here.
Beauty of the landscape is something that attracts people to a particular region. Flatness would be an appropriate word, too, and I understand the author’s use of this word in the context of this sentence.
6 NOT GRADED
When she got out of the hospital, she was pretty lean, but a good wholesome diet of home cooking soon fattened her up.
Your Answer: Lean has a negative connotation here. A better choice of word would be "thin". Fattened her up is also a negative connotation. A better choice of words would be "made her healthy".
FeedBack: These words are more appropriately used with animals. For "lean," one might say "thin" or "gaunt." Good food soon helped her put on weight, not fattened her up.
7 NOT GRADED
Attractive though it was in terms of pay and prospects for advancement, Leroy decided finally to spurn the new job offer.
Your Answer: Spurn is rather harsh sounding here in this context. A better choice of words would be "turn down".
FeedBack: "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 NOT GRADED
I've been taking aspirins by the carload, but they haven't healed my headache.
Your Answer: Healed would best be used to reference perhaps a serious illness. A better word in this context would be "alleviated".
FeedBack: 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 NOT GRADED
I knew she had studied the lesson thoroughly, so after asking my question I waited a little. Finally the retort came in her usual quiet, almost hesitant voice.
Your Answer: Retort is rather harsh here and does not flow with her "quiet, almost hesitant voice". A better choice of word would be "response".
FeedBack: 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 NOT GRADED
One of the best things the Boy Scouts did for Jack was to develop genuinely mannish qualities.
Your Answer: Mannish is used out of context here. This would better be used in describing a woman who has manly attributes, perhaps even like a tomboy. A better choice of word here would be "manly".
FeedBack: 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."
11 NOT GRADED
My grandmother is always so interested in my life and my activities. Every time I see her, she invites me to enjoy her wonderful homemade chocolate chip cookies, and while I eat them, she interrogates me about my weekend plans.
Your Answer: Interrogates is rather harsh here as the person is not under scrutiny. A better choice of word might be "asks".
FeedBack: Police detectives and prosecuting attorneys interrogate; grandma more likely asks you questions about your weekend plans.
12 NOT GRADED
What I pined for above all was a thick, juicy hamburger, with plenty of relish and catsup and a side order of French fries and onions.
Your Answer: Pined is used more when describing a grief. A better choice of words here would be "was longing"
FeedBack: 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.
