19/47--Either a high 2 or a low 3.

7. By "dealing in scraps" the authors means to have focused narrowly on practical problems. The key concept here is being able to relate scraps to focused narrowly.
14. Janie felt resentment towards her mother and grandmother, but the concept I misunderstood was that she moved on from this. I thought that she still held anger.
19. This question I had especially many difficulties. I couldn't determine the meaning of "wear the bays" which meant to claim re-known as poets. The context refers to poetry and I should have chosen that answer based solely on that.
28. My second choice was the answer to this question. I wasn't sure and narrowed it down to 50/50 but picked the wrong answer. This was one of few questions that could have secured a score of a 3.
48. I knew the answer to this question, but somehow got distracted and thought the answer was too obvious so I chose another.
60. This one I completely guessed on and expected to miss. I was lost in the question.
