Emma Woodhouse’s life and family are discussed, including the marriage of her governess Miss Taylor who then moves out of Emma’s home. In line 74, Emma wonders how she is to “bear the change” of Miss Taylor’s departure, which indicates its significance.  \nChoices B and D are incorrect because the passage focuses more on Emma than on her family and neighbors, and Emma’s relationship with her father is a relatively minor consideration. Choice C is also incorrect because Emma is characterized as handsome and clever with a happy disposition, and her arrogance is only briefly mentioned.  \nQuestion 2  \nWhich choice best summarizes the first two paragraphs ofthe passage (lines 1-14)?  \n(A) Even though a character loses a parent at an early age, she is happily raised in a loving home.  \n(B) An affectionate governess helps a character to overcome the loss of her mother, despite the indifference of her father.  \n(C) Largely as a result of her father’s wealth and affection, a character leads a contented life.  \n(D) A character has a generally comfortable and fulfilling life, but then she must recover from losing her mother.  \nItem Difficulty: Hard  \nContent: Information and Ideas / Summarizing  \nBest Answer: A  \nChoice A is the best answer. The passage indicates that Emma’s mother died long ago and that Emma barely remembers her. Emma is raised by an affectionate father and governess and is described as a person with a happy disposition.  \nChoices B, C, and D are incorrect: Emma's father is not described as indifferent, Emma is not described as contented because of her father’s wealth, and Emma does not appear to suffer from the loss of her mother.  \nQuestion 3  \nThe narrator indicates that the particular nature of Emma’s upbringing resulted in her being  \n(A) despondent.  \n(B) self-satisfied.  \n(C) friendless.  \n(D) inconsiderate.  \nItem Difficulty: Medium  \nContent: Information and Ideas / Reading closely  \nBest Answer: B  \nChoice B is the best answer. According to the passage, Emma had “a disposition to think a little too well of herself”(line 30) . Thinking a “little too well of herself”means that Emma had an elevated opinion of herself, or that she was selfsatisfied.
