Discussion of English Paper 2; 24 hours have passed

[beeloooo]

i think it was settled.

no it is wrong !! it is lethargy as it means = dull !! so it is related to inactive

 

[beeloooo]

i might score 20/20 in comprehension ... forget the meanings though !! might get max.3 in those :/

(i) what did the WHOLE BUILDING and INTENTION mean? (2)
(ii) why did the writer think that these things were trivial before? (1)
(iii) Why did the writer describe the baby's requirement as "pitifully small"? (2)
(iv) What are the two aspects of the writer's behaviour that showed her nervousness after she was told her baby was well?? (2)

THE PAPER WAS AWESOME!


1.) What were the words for word/meaning ? I don't remember them all .. the ones i remember are.

Hardened - Became Louder
Summoning - Gathering
Tedious - Annoying
Preoccupied - Focused
I can't remember the last one which I wrote.

those are what i wrote for those words ^^ what were the other 4? I can't remember them right now.

2.) The Single word was Lethargy right? I wrote Lethargy.

3.) Pityfully Small is the only question which I am doubtful about or else everything went awesome!

The other words I remember were, Copiously, Poignant
and I wrote Became firm for hardened.
Yes the word was lethargy

i) The nurses had the support of the whole building while the writer was alone and had her intention with her with no one else there to support her.
ii) Because she was too occupied with the thought that Octavia was out of danger now and didn't think about these things then.
iii) I wrote that in the context (that she was to be operated) her requirements did not really matter and the main focus was on her operation.
iv) 1. She couldn't speak anything after she was told her baby was fine.
2. She asked to see Octavia once, but when she was told she couldn't she didn't ask twice and returned home

The comprehension was so difficult and you're still hoping to get 20/20? I am worried I may have got a few answers wrong and hoping to get atleast more than 14

i dont know how you guys came up with the "support" idea. i just wrote the nurses in possession had all the patients to take care with but the writer just wanted her baby with her

 

[Jaguar]

I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MARKING SCHEME and COMPARE MY ANSWERS WITH THE REAL ANSWERS. At the same time, I will calculate my mistakes and my marks for paper 2. (and also compare it with my grade after the result came out). I have November exam chance though!

answer 1
whole building means the entire staff of the hospital
and intention means strong will or firm decision that she had made
answer2
cz before life of octavia was more of a concern
answer 3
i wrote cz the baby is so small that she dznt need much but i m unsure abt my answer
answer4
she didnt ask to meet the baby again
and she thought she got the wrong data or wrong name
nd umm u didnt ask but most ppl r talking abt it so lemme tell that one word was lethargy

Family excursions amusement park and camping

what a memory

 

[Vogue]

i wrote appropriate for appointed,do u people think that its right?

i dunt think so cz appointed tym makes sense more of an apointment cz the nurses gave the author a time to return bck. so appointed most probably meant already given or pre determined time

 

[Jaguar]

I wrote support thing nurses had other nurses whereas she was fighting alone for her baby and had no support

omg this su****** i wrote the nurses had the patients to take care with and the writer had only wanted her baby with her.
