applied to someone’s emotions, (C) accurately describes the passage’s use of wrought.
Since wrung means squeezed and twisted, (D) does not describe the passage’s use of
wrought. The correct answer is (C).
6. A Choice (A) is correct because Mr. Rochester describes Jane’s soul as strong and her body
as weak in paragraph 5. While paragraph 1 states that Rochester loves Jane, and paragraph
4 states that he is angry with her for refusing his advances, Rochester is angry for the
entirety of paragraph 5. Therefore, it does not contrast his love with his anger, and (B) is
incorrect. Though Rochester speaks of a cage, he never actually mentions a bird; eliminate
(C). Similarly, Rochester only refers to Jane’s purity. Because he never calls Jane impure,
(D) is not correct.
7. D Rochester is speaking metaphorically, not about a literal convict, so (A) is incorrect.
Because he is talking about Jane, not himself, (B) cannot be correct. When Rochester refers
to breaking the prison and Jane’s body, you can tell that the inmate’s prison refers to Jane’s
body, not the ideals of the time. Therefore, (C) is incorrect. The inmate refers to Jane’s
soul, so (D) accurately describes Rochester’s use of inmate and is the correct answer.
8. C Think about the evidence in the passage that helped you answer the previous question:
Rochester is using the word inmate to refer to Jane’s soul trapped in her body. Because (A)
mentions neither soul nor body, (A) is incorrect. Choice (B) refers only to Jane’s body, so it
cannot be correct. Choice (C) mentions both Jane’s spirit and body (her brittle frame),
providing good support for the answer to the previous question. Choice (D) makes no
mention of either soul or body, so it is incorrect. The correct answer is (C).
9. B Because Jane is having a harder time resisting Rochester now that he is sad, worse means
something close to harder. Because less desirable, of lower quality, and unskillful all
mean things other than harder, you can eliminate (A), (C), and (D). Because harder
matches more difficult, (B) accurately describes the passage’s use of worse and is the
correct answer.
- C Pathos refers to Jane’s emotions, so the paragraph depicts Jane overcoming her emotions.
Therefore, (A) cannot be correct. Jane makes no allusion to social conventions, which
makes (B) incorrect. However, because the paragraph depicts Jane overcoming her
emotions, (C) is a good description of Jane’s values. Since Jane battles to overcome her
feelings, (D) is not an accurate description of her values. Choice (C) is the answer.
11. C Clinton’s speech speaks out against gender inequality all over the world and advocates in
favor of these injustices being amended. Choice (C) best reflects this idea. Although
Clinton criticizes how women are treated worldwide, she does not counter any arguments,
so eliminate (A). She does not take a scholarly approach to analyze women’s place in
society, so eliminate (B). Clinton is not mediating between two parties, so eliminate (D).
- B Although women play different roles in society, many of these roles are not appreciated.
Choice (B) most accurately reflects this meaning. Choices (A), (C), and (D) have meanings
that are related to the word valued but are not used in the context of the word’s use in the
