I believe what made question 4 difficult was the word "vilely." The word gives off a negative meaning and we try to find words or descriptions in the answers that do this and E was probably the closest that can be made. However, what didn't make sense was how D was the answer and how "vilely phrased" was used to make a claim of something of an importance. Question 7 is probably tricky at first glance because we may think that he is providing readers with an example to support his point but it was actually a drift from the topic. Question 9 makes us have to go back to the passage and find out what Vivian had stated before and what he stated on the second speech. What was difficult of this problem was how each answer choice was what Vivan had stated in the passage, but we had to find out which came first. Question 13 asked for the comedy present in the passage and for us to identify it and what I thought was the simplicity of the answer choice that would be the answer. However, it was more formal than I thought it would be. Question 21 was probably hard because we had to actually know what Plumes were referring to and the tricky part was how the poem pointed out that "I, my childish Plumes" could be mistaken for the appositive of I. Question 24 had to make us think of the words that are conventional and idiosyncratic, but we had to make sure if its most conventional and least idiosyncratic. However, if we know what conventional mean but not idiosyncratic then there's your answer. I didn't have time for Question 54 but what I can deduce from the given answers are words that best describe. But we had to see know the definition for some of the words and see which one that reveals the way Dagget made the speech. From what I can see, the best answer choice would be E because of how Dagget approach the situation with Louisa and how he ended it quickly without thinking it through.
I'm quite satisfied with my progress at the moment, but I know that I can reach my full potential in doing the benchmark and essays better than I do now. However, much of the fault lies on me because I know that I'm not actually trying in the class such as studying or improving ways to approach certain topics or what to concentrate on when I write. I basically come to class, do what I need to do and have no advancement on the subject. I know it's a bad habit but I guess it’s time for me to care and get better in the essays and benchmarks. I will focus on ways to approach prompts by having different interpretations outside of the most obvious ones. Also, I really need to do some practice problems for the benchmark to get my familiarity with future benchmarks. And there is probably more room for other improvements as well, but these are the important ones that come in mind.
