Questions 1-5 involve the passage from The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle
1. The first paragraph is mainly in the pattern of
A) question then answer
B) point, counter point
C) statement, rebuttal
D) Dialogue, interruption
Answer: C
Godfrey never truly asks a straight-forward question and Peregrine never gives an actual answer to Godfrey's statements, ruling out A. While Godfrey does make points as to why he must know the nature of Peregrine's relationship with his sister, Peregrine's response is less like a counter point and more like a glancing response with a slight undertone against Godfrey once he becomes persistent, ruling out B. Peregrine never stops Godfrey in the middle of a sentence or during his dialogue in any way, ruling out D. Godfrey says a statement to Peregrine, to which he responds with simply refusing to answer fully or answer at all.
2. The second paragraph differs from the first in that
A) It uses repetition of actions to mimic the first paragraph's dialogue
B) It reveals the men's raw emotions toward each other
C) It foreshadows what will happen next in the story
D) It reveals how both characters are not truly honorable
Answer: B
In the first paragraph, much of the dialogue was more reserved in emotions and rather refined to the point where it seemed both characters weren't truly fighting with each other. However, the second paragraph, with its physicality, is able to reveal the true emotions of the characters through their actions (i.e. Peregrine's rage when he is superficially wounded) making B correct. This causes A to be false, since the dialogue was rather reserved in emotion. There is no evidence of foreshadowing what's next in the story, removing C. The fight does not seem to involve any underhanded maneuvers, nor is there any mention of a dishonorable act, scratching off D.
3. The dominant technique in paragraph 2 is
A) Imagery
B) Dialogue
C) Metaphor
D) Euphemism
Answer: A
Dialogue is very little and is not shown in the traditional sense and there is hardly anything more graphic happening during the fight than what is described, eliminating B and D. Metaphors are hardly present as well, eliminating C. Imagery can be seen throughout the passage, with things like Peregrine's cut sending him into a rage potentially showing he is ill-tempered. This makes C correct.
4. In context, the word "jealous" (line 7) most nearly means
A) Envious
B) Intolerant
C) Protective
D) Suspicious
Answer: C
Protective is the only clear choice in context that works with the sentence.
5. What is the shared irony between paragraphs 1 and 2
A) Paragraph 2 shows a barbaric way of ending a dispute while paragraph 1 shows a civilized way
B) Paragraph 1 uses traditional dialogue while paragraph 2 uses narrated dialogue
C) Paragraph 2 uses physical injuries as opposed to mental ones
D) In paragraph 1 Peregrine seems able to win the confrontation due to his wit while in paragraph 2 he becomes overconfident and loses
Answer: D
B and C do not follow the definition of irony and can therefore be eliminated. While sword fighting is physical, at the time the book was written dueling in civilization was a social norm and was acceptable as being a civil dispute, eliminating A. D is correct due to Peregrine having the edge in the beginning yet experiencing a downfall after the author has built him up to be the one rooted for by the reader.
