How i went about this: even the much more central idea of species was little more than a theoretical Bolded words tell me that the idea of species was very downplayed. For the 1st blank we need to know whether race was an important conceptual category or not. Since even the more central idea of species was very downplayed and not important, we know race -- a less central idea -- can not be important. Hence, A works: Darwin did not require race... Now, the noun in the second half of the sentence is IDEA. The idea of species is not a practice (a thing you do) and nor is it a face (it is a concept). Thus, E fits since ideas can be conveniences. We classify animals into species because it is convenient for the study of animals. Thanks and if anyone here is knowledgeable and has free time, please look at the two questions I posted that have gone unanswered that i keep hoping someone will help with!

Deeds that are "beyond description" horrible. Beyond description describes the horribleness. How horrible were the deeds? Beyond description horrible. A similar but simpler sentence would be " deeds that are very horrible". Here we replace very with beyond description, to better describe the NATURE of the horribleness, or HOW horrible the deeds were.

It's usually got to do with words being used in different contexts. You need to get comfortable with the language. But yes, bad material definitely exists.

Terse has a harsh and unfriendly connotation so could be used here to express that the father gave unfriendly vibes. Looking up the meanings will clarify further. If you think another answer fits better, do tell me why you think so and we will discuss why or why not.

In Q13 in the picture, the answer given is (BF) whereas I thought it should be (BD). My reasoning was that the films do not physically inhabit any space at all, they merely emulate settings. On seeing the answer I realized that the 'they' in option D refers to the films but the 'they' in F refers to the characters. Either way, I think both options should work equally well. Is this not the case? I did search for the question but did not find any previous threads about it. The solutions in Barron's aren't that helpful. [ATTACH=CONFIG]7238[/ATTACH]

In Q9 at the bottom of the picture. Frankenstein is still punished by his excesses, as all overreachers in Faust stories are, as is emphasized in the passage, but his excesses are different. So I think option C should work but B is the provided solution. Why so? I did try searching the forums for this question but found nothing. [ATTACH=CONFIG]7237[/ATTACH]
