--- Quote from: jamonwindeyer on August 12, 2017, 01:58:09 am ---So I think this (like lots of comprehension) is very subjective, but the fact that the natural features are described as being around the Eagle, this could imply that the Eagle itself is unnatural? They are very distinctly described - But I definitely see your point also.
I think your interpretation is again, valid. However, the answer is likely referring to the fact that the eagle in Poem 1 is mostly standing still and observing its surroundings. The eagles in Poem 2 are more active. Thus, Eagle 1 is more tame.
I agree, I don't agree with the answer of B.
I also agree with your answer here, the second paragraph is definitely not personal impressions.
I think B is more appropriate, the writer spends most of the first paragraph discussing the bullocks. See the phrase, I never saw a tilted dray such as those employed here and of course the bullocks sprint along like a rodeo, that's the bit I'm reading to answer with B.
Slightly deceptive, I think D is more appropriate. She definitely does nothing, so it is either A or D. I disagree with A, the language doesn't suggest an indifference to the misery.
I agree with you - I think these answers are really dubious. This is why I hate comprehension - There is no right answer, but that said, the answer they've picked is really tough to argue in my opinion, for a few of them.
Perhaps a few of your provided answers are wrong? :)

Oh well, thanks for your help. Will the HSC have a comprehension section in it (I hope not)?

Section one of Paper One at the moment is unseen texts - reading and responding! But, you're in year ten? So I think this will change for you!

Oh, will the new syllabus scrap the comprehension section?
