And when I say a sarser, I mean a Chaney sarser in which he made a collection for himself at the end of every Entertainment. His cue for that, he took from me: ג€Ladies and gentlemen, the little man will now walk three times round the Cairawan, and retire behind the curtain.ג€ When he said anything important, in private life, he mostly wound it up with this form of words, and they was generally the last thing he said to me at night afore he went to bed.
He had what I consider a fine mind ג€" a poetic mind. His ideas respectin his property never come upon him so strong as when he sat upon a barrel-organ and had the handle turned. Arter the wibration had run through him a little time, he would screech out, ג€Toby, I feel my property coming ג€" grind away! Iג€™m counting my guineas by thousands, Toby ג€" grind away! Toby, I shall be a man of fortun! I feel the Mint a jingling in me, Toby, and Iג€™m swelling out into the Bank of England!ג€
Such is the influence of music on a poetic mind. Not that he was partial to any other music but a barrel-organ; on the contrary, hated it.
He had a kind of a everlasting grudge agin the Public: which is a thing you may notice in many phenomenons that get their living out of it. What riled him most in the nater of his occupation was, that it kep him out of Society. He was continiwally saying, ג€Toby, my ambition is, to go into Society. The curse of my position towards the Public is, that it keeps me hout of Society. This donג€™t signify to a low beast of a Indian; he anג€™t formed for Society. This donג€™t signify to a Spotted Baby;

For what purpose does the narrator most likely describe the Dwarfג€™s character in 2nd and 3rd paragraph?
Answer : A
Explanation:
This section of the passage established most of the selections available, but collectively they establish that save for size, the Dwarf is in every way normal, even in affairs of the heart.

What is the likely connection with property and belonging to society from the Dwarfג€™s perspective?
Answer : C
Explanation:
The link between property and belonging to society becomes more clear later in the passage as the Dwarf interchanges property and guineas, fortun, and Mint.
Clearly, his predisposition to money is established as he collects incremental monies from the crowd, places the money in a sarser in his house, and doesnג€™t spend it on anything except an ample supply of food. As money is seen as the avenue to property, property assigns rights to societal membership.
He was a un-common small man, he really was. Certainly not so small as he was made out to be, but where IS your Dwarf as is? He was a most uncommon small man, with a most uncommon large Ed; and what he had inside that Ed, nobody ever knowed but himself: even supposin himself to have ever took stock of it, which it would have been a stiff job for even him to do.

Which selection best interprets ג€Chops would have starved to death, afore heג€™d have gained a bit of bread by putting his hand to a paperג€ 4th paragraph?
Answer : D
Explanation:
This choice follows the overall theme of the excerpt. Given the propensity to save money by the Dwarf, it is well in keeping with his character that he would not borrow money, even if it meant going hungry. This would only put further from reach his securing sufficient property or fortune to be able to join society.
He was a un-common small man, he really was. Certainly not so small as he was made out to be, but where IS your Dwarf as is? He was a most uncommon small man, with a most uncommon large Ed; and what he had inside that Ed, nobody ever knowed but himself: even supposin himself to have ever took stock of it, which it would have been a stiff job for even him to do.

Which is the most likely reason for the author to include the paragraph concerning the barrel-organ in 5th paragraph?
Answer : C
Explanation:
Each choice holds some truth and rationale for the inclusion of this paragraph. The reason Choice [establishes societal qualifications of...] is the best selection is because it matches the overall thought line of the excerpt. Every quality and motivation in all other parts of the excerpt are directed at the establishment of the
Dwarfג€™s qualifications to enter society, with the exception of property. This paragraph serves the same purpose in as much as it qualifies that the Dwarf has a poetical mind, certainly something a gentleman of society would possess. It also establishes that he enjoys music, albeit only barrel-organ music the fact of which might be overlooked given the likelihood that this was the only type music generally available to a traveling carnival.
He was a un-common small man, he really was. Certainly not so small as he was made out to be, but where IS your Dwarf as is? He was a most uncommon small man, with a most uncommon large Ed; and what he had inside that Ed, nobody ever knowed but himself: even supposin himself to have ever took stock of it, which it would have been a stiff job for even him to do.
The kindest little man as never growed! Spirited, but not proud. When he travelled with the Spotted Baby though he knowed himself to be a natג€™ral Dwarf, and knowed the Babyג€™s spots to be put upon him artificial, he nursed that Baby like a mother. You never heerd him give a ill-name to a Giant. He DID allow himself to break out into strong language respectin the Fat Lady from Norfolk; but that was an affair of the ג€™art; and when a manג€™s ג€™art has been trifled with by a lady, and the preference giv to a Indian, he ainג€™t master of his actions.
He was always in love, of course; every human natג€™ral phenomenon is. And he was always in love with a large woman; I never knowed the Dwarf as could be got to love a small one. Which helps to keep ג€™em the Curiosities they are.
One singג€™ler idea he had in that Ed of his, which must have meant something, or it wouldnג€™t have been there. It was always his opinion that he was entitled to property. He never would put his name to anything. He had been taught to write, by the young man without arms, who got his living with his toes (quite a writing master HE was, and taught scores in the line), but Chops would have starved to death, afore heג€™d have gained a bit of bread by putting his hand to a paper. This is the more curious to bear in mind, because HE had no property, nor hope of property, except his house and a sarser. When I say his house, I mean the box, painted and got up outside like a regג€™lar six-roomer, that he used to creep into, with a diamond ring (or quite as good to look at) on his forefinger, and ring a little bell out of what the Public believed to be the Drawing-room winder. And when I say a sarser, I mean a Chaney sarser in which he made a collection for himself at the end of every Entertainment.

Which selection best represents the device displayed in the overall excerpts but especially summated in the last paragraph in last paragraph?
Answer : C
Explanation:
As the title Going Into Society indicates, the entire motivation for saving money, obtaining property is to pave the way for joining society. The paradox is that the methodology by which he is able to over time obtain property is the very thing that keeps him out of society ג€" his being a phenomenon.
He was a un-common small man, he really was. Certainly not so small as he was made out to be, but where IS your Dwarf as is? He was a most uncommon small man, with a most uncommon large Ed; and what he had inside that Ed, nobody ever knowed but himself: even supposin himself to have ever took stock of it, which it would have been a stiff job for even him to do.
The kindest little man as never growed! Spirited, but not proud. When he travelled with the Spotted Baby though he knowed himself to be a natג€™ral Dwarf, and knowed the Babyג€™s spots to be put upon him artificial, he nursed that Baby like a mother. You never heerd him give a ill-name to a Giant. He DID allow himself to break out into strong language respectin the Fat Lady from Norfolk; but that was an affair of the ג€™art; and when a manג€™s ג€™art has been trifled with by a lady, and the preference giv to a Indian, he ainג€™t master of his actions.
He was always in love, of course; every human natג€™ral phenomenon is. And he was always in love with a large woman; I never knowed the Dwarf as could be got to love a small one. Which helps to keep ג€™em the Curiosities they are.
One singג€™ler idea he had in that Ed of his, which must have meant something, or it wouldnג€™t have been there. It was always his opinion that he was entitled to property. He never would put his name to anything. He had been taught to write, by the young man without arms, who got his living with his toes (quite a writing master HE was, and taught scores in the line), but Chops would have starved to death, afore heג€™d have gained a bit of bread by putting his hand to a paper. This is the more curious to bear in mind, because HE had no property, nor hope of property, except his house and a sarser. When I say his house, I mean the box, painted and got up outside like a regג€™lar six-roomer, that he used to creep into, with a diamond ring (or quite as good to look at) on his forefinger, and ring a little bell out of what the Public believed to be the Drawing-room winder. And when I say a sarser, I mean a Chaney sarser in which he made a collection for himself at the end of every Entertainment. His cue for that, he took from me: ג€Ladies and gentlemen, the little man will now walk three times round the Cairawan, and retire behind the curtain.ג€ When he said anything important, in private life, he mostly wound it up with this form of words, and they was generally the last thing he said to me at night afore he went to bed.

Which of the selections best describes the general commentary on society represented in this excerpt?
Answer : E
Explanation:
We clearly need to look for a negative here. By virtue, the carnival of phenomenon exists is a negative commentary on society and the values established by those so-called norms. Choice [Societal norms errantly exclude...] is the only negative qualifier that represents this position.

Which of the selections would make the best alternative title for this work?
Answer : B
Explanation:
As the overall theme is the negative commentary on society and the virtues of the Dwarf, ג€The Unworthy Societyג€ appropriately encapsulates this representation.
Sir Gilesג€™s irritating reserve, not even excused by a word of apology, reached the limits of his endurance. He respectfully protested. ג€I regret to find, sir,ג€ he said,
ג€that I have lost my place in my employerג€™s estimation. The man to whom you confide the superintendence of your clerks and the transaction of your business has,
I venture to think, some claim (under the present circumstances) to be trusted.ג€ The banker was now offended on his side.
ג€I readily admit your claim,ג€ he answered, ג€when you are sitting at your desk in my office. But, even in these days of strikes, co-operations, and bank holidays, an employer has one privilege left ג€" he has not ceased to be a Man, and he has not forfeited a manג€™s right to keep his own secrets. I fail to see anything in my conduct which has given you just reason to complain.ג€
Dennis, rebuked, made his bow in silence, and withdrew.
Did these acts of humility mean that he submitted? They meant exactly the contrary. He had made up his mind that Sir Giles Mountjoyג€™s motives should, sooner or later, cease to be mysteries to Sir Giles Mountjoyג€™s clerk.
In context, the words ג€irritating reserveג€ in first paragraph is best represented by the word
Answer : D
Explanation:
When Dennisג€™ patience ran out, he protested.

Which selection best describes the overall feeling expressed by Sir Giles in 2nd paragraph?
Answer : D
Explanation:
It is clear that as a business owner, Sir Giles is not pleased with the current state of affairs as it relates to all of the concessions yielded by employers to employees. Employees now have the right to strike, form unions, and they are given holidays from work, clearly felt by Sir Giles to be the early stages of the absolute decline of commerce as it was once known.

In context, the word ג€rebukedג€ is best represented by:
Answer : E
Explanation:
To ג€rebukeג€ someone is to sharply reprimand them. Although the language used would not be considered particularly cutting today, the language and diction used place this excerpt some years back when conversation was more genteel, and the affront by Sir Giles to Dennis would have been scathing.

Which selection identifies the device exemplified with ג€Did these acts of humility mean that he submitted?ג€ last paragraph?
Answer : D
Explanation:
The question asked that there is already a known answer to is considered rhetorical as it is unnecessary and usually used in literature for effect.
The spring is fairly with us now. Outside my laboratory window the great chestnut-tree is all covered with the big, glutinous, gummy buds, some of which have already begun to break into little green shuttlecocks. As you walk down the lanes you are conscious of the rich, silent forces of nature working all around you. The wet earth smells fruitful and luscious. Green shoots are peeping out everywhere. The twigs are stiff with their sap; and the moist, heavy English air is laden with a faintly resinous perfume. Buds in the hedges, lambs beneath them ג€" everywhere the work of reproduction going forward!
I can see it without, and I can feel it within. We also have our spring when the little arterioles dilate, the lymph flows in a brisker stream, the glands work harder, winnowing and straining. Every year nature readjusts the whole machine. I can feel the ferment in my blood at this very moment, and as the cool sunshine pours through my window I could dance about in it like a gnat. So I should, only that Charles Sadler would rush upstairs to know what the matter was. Besides, I must remember that I am Professor Gilroy. An old professor may afford to be natural, but when fortune has given one of the first chairs in the university to a man of four- and-thirty he must try and act the part consistently.
In context, the word ג€glutinousג€ most nearly means?
Answer : C
Explanation:
The context clue here is just next door. ג€Gummy budsג€ is a continuation of the description began with ג€glutinousג€ and as we are generally given to know that something ג€gummyג€ is sticky.
