  1. The readers read those books written by Bellow. BTW, the question 21 confuses me too. In my opinion, Option C is more appropriate to be the right answer than B, since there is no specific stories (in Option B) are mentioned in the article.
  2. Hey guys, if (E) is the correct answer, what it refers here? Does it refer to the movement or a service economy?
  3. ... to have done ... is one usage in indirect speech pattern (someone was reported to ...), with implication that the author is not the information provider.
  4. Actually, it's not "...from..." but "a ... form of ownership". The complete sentence with correct answer is that "..., the most redical faction, ..., proposed a return to communal ownership of land, (a return) to what had been a pre-Columbian form of ownership respected by the Spaniards." Option A omits the same part of a return in that subordinate clause leading by "what".
  5. I think the underline in question should not include the second comma. It appears that there must be a comma between "making alcohol distilled from cereal grain an attractive substitute" and "prices of bread and livestock feed are sure to increase".
  6. Furthemore is a adverb not a conjunction. A comma is needed to separate it from a sentence behind.
  7. The subject Napoleon’s army and verb entered after than are elided for they are the same with those in the front part.
  8. Could Sushma50 please elaborate why option C is not correct, in view of the content "... which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848."? BTW, does that refer to "the two decades" or "utopian socialism"?
  9. Students of United States history, seeking to identify the circumstances that encouraged the emergence of feminist movements, have thoroughly investigated the mid-nineteenth-century American economic and social condition that affected the status of women. These historians, however, have analyzed less fully the development of specifically feminist ideas and activities during the same period. Furthermore, the ideological origins of feminism in the United State have been obscured because, even when historians did take into account those feminist ideas and activities occurring within the United States, they failed to recognize that feminism was then a truly international movement actually centered in Europe. American feminist activists who have been described as “solitary” and “individual theorists” were in reality connected to a movement — utopian socialism — which was already popularizing feminist ideas in Europe during the two decades that culminated in the first women’s rights conference held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848. Thus, a complete understanding of the origins and development of nineteenth-century feminism in the United States requires that the geographical focus be widened to include Europe and that the detailed study already made of social conditions be expanded to include the ideological development of feminism. The earliest and most popular of the utopian socialists were the Saint-Simonians. The specifically feminist part of Saint-Simonianism has, however, been less studied than the group’s contribution to early socialism. This is regrettable on two counts. By 1832 feminism was the central concern of Saint-Simonianism and entirely absorbed its adherents’ energy; hence, by ignoring its feminism, European historians have misunderstood Saint-Simonianism. Moreover, since many feminist ideas can be traced to saint-simonianism European historians’ appreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited. Saint-Simon’s followers, many of whom were women, based their feminism on an interpretation of his project to reorganize the globe by replacing brute force with the rule of spiritual powers. The new world order would be ruled together by a male, to represent reflection, and a female, to represent sentiment. This complementarity reflects the fact that, while the Saint-Simonians did not reject the belief that there were innate differences between men and women, they nevertheless foresaw an equally important social and political role for both sexes in their utopia. Only a few Saint-Simonians opposed a definition of sexual equality based on gender distinction. This minority believe that individuals of both sexes were born similar in capacity and character, and they ascribed male-female differences to socialization and education. The envisioned result of both currents of thought, however, was that women would enter public life in the new age and that sexual equality would reward men as well as women with an improved way of life. Q: According to the passage, which of the following is true of the Seneca Falls conference on women's rights? (A) It was primarily a product of nineteenth-century Saint-Simonian feminist thought. (B) It was the work of American activists who were independent of feminists abroad. © It was the culminating achievement of the utopian socialist movement. (D) It was a manifestation of an international movement of social change and feminism. (E) It was the final manifestation of the women's rights movement in the United States in the nineteenth century.
  10. Whether the languages of the ancient American peoples were used for expressing abstract universal concepts can be clearly answered in the case of Nahuatl. Nahuatl, like Greek and German, is a language that allows the formation of extensive compounds. By the combination of radicals or semantic elements, single compound words can express complex conceptual relations, often of an abstract universal character. The tlamatinime ("those who know") were able to use this rich stock of abstract terms to express the nuances of their thought. They also availed themselves of other forms of expression with metaphorical meaning, some probably original, some derived from Toltec coinages. Of these forms the most characteristic in Nahuatl is the juxtaposition of two words that, because they are synonyms, associated terms, or even contraries, complement each other to evoke one single idea. Used as metaphor, the juxtaposed terms connote specific or essential traits of the being they refer to, introducing a mode of poetry as an almost habitual form of expression. 19 It can be inferred solely from the information in the passage that (A) There are many languages that, like Greek or German, allow extensive compounding (B) The abstract terms of the Nahuatl language are habitually used in poetry © Some record or evidence of the thought of the tlamatinime exists (D) Metaphors are always used in Nahuatl to express abstract conceptual relationships (E) All abstract universal ideas are ideas of complex relations. Do you think option © is the correct answer? Why?
  11. I have the same problem to detect right answer immediately. Answer (A) is said to be the OA, but I don't know why? Is anybody able to throw any light on this question?
  12. You can get clue of this question from words marked in blue.
  13. Could you please provide URL(s) of former discussion?
