3. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS 

Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :  

Choice (A) is incorrect. None of the terms used to describe the atmosphere of the cello room have anything to do with creativity. Instead, they describe an atmosphere of repose and worship. 

Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :  

Choice (B) is incorrect. The atmosphere of the cello room is described as one of "cool serenity." "Serenity" suggests quiet and repose but not emptiness.

Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :  

Choice (C) is incorrect. The "cool serenity" of the cello room suggests an atmosphere of acceptance and repose, the very opposite of urgency or striving. 

Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :  

Choice (E) is incorrect. For a place filled with cellos to have an atmosphere of accomplishment, there would at least have to be some sign that these instruments have been played by accomplished musicians. But in the passage the instruments in the cello room are associated with novitiates, people who are beginners, not people who are accomplished. 

4. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS 

Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :  

Choice (B) is incorrect. There is no indication that Clayton was uneasy on the walk back to the fraternity house. He was talking about music, and the passage strongly suggests that whenever the subject was music, Clayton was very much at ease. 

Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :  

Choice (D) is incorrect. Virginia is presented as being conscious of being too cold. But this kind of discomfort is straightforwardly physical, not the complex psychological discomfort that the word "self-consciousness" suggests. 

Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :  

Choice (E) is incorrect. By using the phrase "agonizing bliss," the narrator suggests that Virginia's happiness at being with Clayton is combined with physical discomfort from the cold wind. The passage says that this episode of "agonizing bliss" went on for only twenty minutes. But neither "bliss" nor "agonizing" suggests anything about the length of the episode. 

5. ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS 

Explanation for Correct Answer A :  

Choice (A) is correct. Clayton has given Virginia soup and cheese and apologizes for its not being much. Virginia is so happy just to be there with him that she "felt sated before lifting the first spoonful". Someone who feels sated is fully satisfied. So Virginia's reaction to the meal suggests that she felt content even without the food.

Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :  

Choice (B) is incorrect. Being amused by someone's attempts at hospitality on one's behalf involves an element of condescension. But by this point in the narrative, Virginia is completely entranced with Clayton, and being entranced is inconsistent with condescension. 

Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :  

Choice (D) is incorrect. Clayton apologizes for the meagerness of the meal, but there is no indication that Virginia made him uneasy or that she believed that she did. Later he is described as fidgety and awkward. But that was because "music was the only landscape in which he seemed at ease" , not because Virginia was there. 

Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :  

Choice (E) is incorrect. Virginia is described as thinking “a loaf of bread, a jug of wine,” a reference to a love poem. This strongly suggests that she found the atmosphere highly suitable for romance.
