Hurry and here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:04

by stress when you wake up screaming and realize you

00:08

haven't been to sleep yet Yeah we've been there All

00:11

right Checking the following passage All right Which of the

00:21

following would be the most precise way of restating Sentence

00:24

six and hear the potential answer All right the main

00:33

word we should pay attention to in this question is

00:36

precise When we look at sentence six we need to

00:39

ask ourselves if it says exactly what it means Is

00:42

the author's saying that everything was actually still well let's

00:46

hope not if everything was still then that would mean

00:49

that everybody on earth would freeze in place the wind

00:51

would cease and every planet would stop orbiting How much

00:54

more boring could one universe git unless the other is

00:57

trying to write a scifi novel and didn't tell anybody

01:00

Well we're sure that she didn't literally mean everything was

01:03

still in general We should avoid the word everything in

01:06

01:08

a vague city Yeah right there All that said we're

01:11

now sure that we can cut choice d which is

01:13

apparently okay with vagueness choice isn't a whole lot better

01:18

We've now narrowed things down from everything there is to

01:21

the whole world it's step in the right direction but

01:23

sometimes that's just not enough until dr horrible perfects his

01:27

freeze ray the whole world isn't going to stand still

01:30

Well choice b does zoom in a bit more about

01:32

it's Not exactly accurate Well that was a zoom According

01:35

to the narrator the insects and frogs are still a

01:38

cz well so it's not just the landscape that's taken

01:40

a break Imagine the size of the cup of coffee

01:43

the whole landscape would need on a break All right

01:47

well even though choice sea is pretty general it's the

01:49

best answer because it's the most precise from our narrators

01:53

perspective Everything in the immediate vicinity of the girl stand

01:56

still for a moment it's like she's playing a massive

01:58

game of red light green light And if only most 00:02:01.478 --> [endTime] drivers knew how to play
