The concern with getting daughters married into good families pervades Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice and forms a large part

of the social mannerisms that the novel mocks. In which this excerpt does one of the Bennet parents make an ironically false claim about having gone to great lengths to achieve that goal?

At our time of life it is not so pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but for your sakes, we would do anything.

I would say the correct answer is B ("I am sorry to hear that; but why did not you tell me that before? If I had known as much this morning I certainly would not have called on him. It is very unlucky; but as I have actually paid the visit, we cannot escape the acquaintance now.")

It is both false and ironic because he would certainly have called on him nevertheless, regardless of the fact whether his wife likes Mr. Bingley or not. He didn't really do much about the whole affair, which is ironic because he makes it as if he had.

This type of pronoun replaces the subject, or main actor, of the sentence or sentence part?
zhenek [66]

The answer is: C. subject pronoun .

Subject pronouns like <em>I, she, he it, you, we </em>and <em>they </em>replace a noun as the subject or main actor of a sentence or clause. They also function as the subject of the verb, so they perform the action of the predicate.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because possessive pronouns indicate possession (what belongs to whom), object pronouns work as direct or indirect object of the verb, and reference pronoun refers to pronoun agreement.

1. I believe the correct answer is: C. Life.

 

     In Magwitch’s speech in the boat headed out of London, from the novel “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, the river represents the metaphor for life by directly applying the characteristic of river to the term of life, to which it is not literally applicable. Describing the uncertain, uncontrollable and unpredictable tide of river, Magwitch describes life:

“… that we can no longer see the bottom of the next few hours, than we can see to the bottom of this river what I catches hold of. Nor yet we can’t no more hold their tide than I can hold this. And it’s run through my fingers and gone you see!”

 

2. I believe the correct answer is: B. He was Magwitch’s partner and Miss Havisham’s fiancée.

 

     The word companion is the term used to describe the “person or animal with whom one spends a lot of time or with whom one travels”. In the “Great Expectations” of Charles Dickens, Compeyson was Magwitch’s partner in crime, which made him his “companion”. Critics argue that there is a Biblical connotation – the story of Abel and Cain, as the first name of Magwith is Abel, and Compeyson is similar to Cain in his betrayal (he betrays Magwich and tries to kill him later on).

 

3. I believe the correct answer is: B. Newgate prison.

 

     In the novel “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, Wemmick’s “Greenhouse” is the metaphor for the Newgate Prison. This metaphor can be also considered to be an oxymoron, as the greenhouse represents the place where life constantly begins and grows, and the prison is the dark place, where life stagnates and even ends.


24. I believe the correct answer is: B. Dim.

 

     In the novel “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, the main character, Pip, learns the truth about life – money can’t buy happiness or love, the “fine gentleman and ladies” are incapable and pretenders who don’t contribute to society in any way, and that people are cruel, hypocritical and selfish. Therefore, the word which would best expresses Dickens’ world is dim – unoptimistic, gloomy and depressing.

 

5. I believe the correct answer is: C. gaudy and absurd.

 

     In this excerpt describing the funeral of Mrs. Joe, from the novel “Great Expectations”, written by Charles Dickens, the word mummery implies that funeral rituals are gaudy and absurd, as mummery is the term used to describe “ridiculous, hypocritical, or pretentious ceremony or performance”.
