6 Mr. Bingley had soon made himself acquainted with all the principal people in the room; he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance, was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving one himself at Netherfield. Such amiable qualities must speak for themselves. What a contrast between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party. His character was decided. He was the proudest, most disagreeable man in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again. Amongst the most violent against him was Mrs. Bennet, whose dislike of his general behaviour was sharpened into particular resentment by his having slighted one of her daughters.
In the last sentence, Mrs. Bennet is described as "violent" against Mr. Darcy. What does violent mean in this context?
A)to attack with intent to injure
B)to destroy or break something of value
C)showing great physical or natural force

10. Scenario One: Jessica started dating Matt three months ago, despite her best friend Melissa’s warning that Matt had a bad reputation. Their relationship was going really well until Jessica found suspicious text messages that Matt sent to another girl. When she confronted Matt about the text messages, he admitted that he was also dating another girl from a different school. Jessica immediately broke up with Matt.

11. Scenario Two: John and Mary lived on a small farm, which bordered Harry’s farm. They were good friends with Harry. John and Mary never put their horse, Willie, in the barn at night, even though Willie was their most prized possession. They depended on Willie for survival, because he pulled their carriage into town and ploughed their fields for harvest. One day, they woke up to find that Willie had been stolen by Harry, who fled the town.

12. Scenario Three: Ruth and Isaac were poor townspeople who could barely provide for their five children. They were overjoyed when they managed to arrange a marriage between their eldest daughter, Elizabeth, and a wealthy man twice her age, because he would bring riches to their family. Elizabeth was disgusted when her parents told her that she would be marrying a man that she did not love the following day with no explanation. On the day of the wedding, Ruth and Isaac were horrified to discover that Elizabeth ran away from home.
