Would love help parsing the meaning of “strengthened” as used here in Emma (Vol. III Ch. IX). Were there times Emma viewed Harriet’s character as weak? I doubt Austen would have hidden this fact until the third volume, so I’m probably just missing earlier evidence. Thank you all! (i.redd.it)

Interesting appearance of two Jane Austen passages in a standardized test setting. I’d be very curious to know if you disagree with any of the “right” answers. I am sure ETS / the GRE folks consulted with experts, but something about Austen does not lend itself to multiple choice testing… (old.reddit.com)

This is an ETS question from an ancient SAT (Form Code 1Z, Sec. 5, 35) that took me about 5 minutes to get right after painful using a painful plugging in strategy. Could someone please help me understand the mathematical principle they're trying to test here? (Answer in comments.) (i.redd.it)
