Try to save some of the best food for Gestalt. They don't like crowds, and things in our inventory don't seem to go bad... Maybe we can bring it to them fresh! Otherwise, ENACT REVELRIES!

{[PARTAKE IN THE REVELRY]}

You and your new goblin friends eat the meal Yean prepared.

It is a stew that smells incredible, and tastes even better.The meat melts in your mouth and there is a savory taste to the chunks of vegetable. You also notice a strong aftertaste of burgundy wine that makes your whole body warm.

Hands down this is the best food you have had in your four-day-long life.

What Should We Do Now?

[pwnthesat]

Could you please explain two reading problems in Practice test 6 section 3 (#9 & 13) ?

9: The author of passage 1 makes a point of distinguishing between Linnaeus, whose classification system was a huge deal, and his followers, who made classification the only game in town for the next hundred years.  See line 5, where he says "Linnaeus himself would probably have been the first to admit" that the goal of biology should be broader than simply classifying all living things. 

Passage 2's opening statement seems to blame classification in biology for changing humans' relationship with the world. The only choice to question 9 that sounds like something Passage 1's author would say based on what we know he HAS said is (D), which basically says that the author of passage 2 is blaming Linnaeus for what his followers did. 

13: The last paragraph of the passage is where the citizens of Macondo discover the telephone. Its last sentence says that, as a result of the telephone, "no one knew for certain where the limits of reality lay." 

Choice (D) is almost a direct paraphrase of that. 

You can also get this one by elimination. 

Eliminate (A) because the passage doesn't say they didn't know where it came from. 

Eliminate (B) because there's no mention of their expectations other than the fact that they expected it to be like a phonograph. The phonograph is cool and all, but it's not a more socially beneficial invention than a telephone.

Eliminate (C) because they couldn't tell up from down after the telephone, according to the passage. So in no way could they envision, right away, what changes the phone would bring to their daily lives. They had no idea what to make of it.

Eliminate (E) because there's no mention of their continued employment.
