Hello.

As I am listening fervently to your lectures for SAT Reading, I came to have some questions that I would like to ask you about.

1. For question 8 of file page number 12 (the file that you uploaded for your lecture) that you explained in your 5th lecture, you explained that the answer is (A) because she takes words literally as a slow-witted woman. However, in line 88 of the text, we see that she complains to her husband for not understanding her suffering. That is why I felt the reasonable answer is (C) instead of (A), also judging by the overall tone of her incessantly feeling disturbed by her husband's obstinacy. Could you explain in detail why the answer should be (A) and not (C) in more detail?

2. For question 13 of file page number 13, you said in the 6th lecture video that the answer should be (D) simply because having man as a possession does not make sense. However, it is but adjustment of the meaning according to situation. Literal interpretation though it is, I think we CAN claim that women consider unmarried men as a rightful property, or possession. Could you explain why the answer should be (D) instead of (A) in more detail?

3. For question 14 (page 14), you said that the answer is (A). However, even after I finished listening to your lecture, I still don't get why (A) is a more favorable answer over (C). Could you explain the reason in more detail?

4. For question 15 (page 14), the answer was (C), and (A) and (D) were ruled out from answer choices from the beginning as the did not contain the key word "ignorance." However, although choice (D) lacks the word itself, I thought the meaning of (C) and (D) both make sense; Mr. Bennet could be either feigning in purpose to deeply delve in the discussion or he could not have wanted all the discourse in the first place. Could you describe why the more favorable answer is (C) over (D) in more detail?

5. For question 9 (page 20) of the new Reading passage, in the 8th lecture you concluded that the correct answer should be (B) because line 89 reads "he seems to be brave and innocent." While you focused on the word "seems," I focused on "brave and innocent" and judged from his attitude afterwards that he is somehow paying proper respect to his pale oppponent, thus deciding that the narrator is treating him with respect, or deference. Could you explain why the answer favored by SAT creators is (B) instead of (A)? Could a single sentence override the entire paragraph?

I always appreciate your willingness and determination to be both didactic and entertaining, about which I feel copacetic.
