glamour
sorrow
modesty
aloofness
In lines 18 and 19, Mr. Donovan presents himself as
concerned for Miss Conway
insincere in his intention
overwhelmed by the Count's death
apologetic about his behavior
Miss Conway most likely relates the anecdote about Count Fernando Mazzini (lines 29 through 36) in order to
seek compassion from Mr. Donovan
contradict boarding house rumors
flaunt her recent inheritance
obtain advice from Mr. Donovan
The quote “The sympathetic but cheerful friend was the role he essayed” (lines 49 and 50) suggests that Mr. Donovan
was not interested in romance
was once a professional actor
had no need to hide his feelings
had a motive for kind behavior
As used in line 52, the word “diminution” most nearly means
acceptance
appearance
reduction
explanation
Miss Conway’s response to Mr. Donovan’s “look of abstracted gloom” (line 62) is one of
tender persistence
impatient disapproval
controlled hostility
superficial interest
The hyperbole in lines 80 and 81 highlights Mr. Donovan’s
selfless intention
distrust of Big Mike
violent nature
respect for Big Mike

“A subtle task confronted Mr. Donovan,— that of supplanting the unfortunate Count in the heart of Miss Conway” (lines 47 and 48)
The text is developed primarily through the use of
symbolism
repetition
action
dialogue
A central idea of the text is that
people can benefit from the misfortune of others
people can find happiness by admitting the truth
friends can encourage each other’s success
strangers can complicate people’s lives
Lines 5 and 13 serve to emphasize a contrast between
illusion and reality
calm and stress
instinct and reason
belief and doubt
As used in line 10, “languish” most nearly means
communicate
deteriorate
survive
forget
Lines 15 and 16 suggest that “day and night”
reflect failure
nourish creativity
cause conflict
ensure balance
The tone of the poem can best be described as
desperate
forgiving
reflective
insensitive
The opening paragraph serves to
reveal Tharp's vivid imagination
explain the nature of Tharp's work
establish Tharp's controversial views
illustrate a flaw in Tharp's methodology
Tharp’s initial reaction to her maps (lines 20 through 22) is one of
relief
helplessness
amazement
fear
The figurative language used in lines 33 and 34 suggests Wegener’s theory was
absurd
valued
untested
intriguing
Lines 36 through 42 reveal Tharp’s
reluctance to share her observations
determination to validate her conclusion
reputation for supporting her colleagues
insecurity about risking her career
Lines 49 through 51 reveal that Tharp’s opportunity for additional education was influenced by the
increased availability of technical equipment
expanding popularity of drafting courses
increased demand for military service

disagreement about the implications of their maps
rejection of the criticism of their work
refusal of Tharp to accept Heezen’s authority
competition between Heezen and Tharp
The reference to “seams on a baseball” (lines 79 and 80) serves to help readers imagine the
speed of the continental drift
purpose of the mid-ocean ridge
importance of the continental drift
extent of the mid-ocean ridge
Which quotation reflects a central idea of the text?
“That range had been a shock when it was discovered in the 1870s” (lines 17 and 18)
“If her calculations were right, the geosciences would never be the same” (lines 26 and 27)
“A rock formation’s structure, composition, and location could tell you all sorts of things” (lines 53 and 54)
“In late 1952, as Tharp was replotting the ocean floor, Heezen took on another deep-sea project” (lines 63 and 64)
