Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by voting it's that fun thing

00:07

we dio where we check boxes in exchange for a

00:10

cool sticker Wait that's not what we're supposed to do

00:13

Oops All right let's take a look at paragraph for

00:16

the passage right here Travel book in england eighteen thirteen

00:19

In this period of restaurants on neighbors clinton fashion and

00:25

here's our question a synonym closest in meaning to vote

00:29

as it is used in a line thirty three would

00:31

be what And here's potential authorities that agree approve express

00:35

for clint Alright synonym closest in meaning to vote Well

00:40

since nothing in this passage has to do with electing

00:42

someone in public office or kicking someone often island well

00:45

we're gonna have to study entire sentence in order to

00:47

figure out this one full sentence talks about how awesome

00:50

the europeans are getting together to celebrate their differences It's

00:54

kind of like they're patting each other on the back

00:56

for a job well done which is kind of hilarious

00:58

given you know history like wile e coyote and the

01:01

road runner get together for a reunion tour But we

01:04

digress Anyway the author says they like to meet together

01:07

frequently to discuss compare and reason upon their national varieties

01:12

Then once they've done that according to the author of

01:14

a voted a mark of fashion and good taste to

01:17

imitate each other So if they're discussing comparing and reasoning

01:20

which all sounds pretty mellow which of our answers fit

01:23

That kind of description Well to approve sounds too official

01:27

for this kind of setting into a claim which is

01:29

to praise publicly sounds far too grand Meanwhile expressing as

01:33

in expressing an opinion is something a person would do

01:36

during a discussion on after it's already done And finally

01:39

the whole point of the author using this example of

01:41

european harmony is to show how there's no need to

01:43

pick one cultural difference over another so there's no need

01:47

to express a preference one way or the other In

01:49

fact the author paints a good picture of how everyone

01:52

is just well pretty darn agreeable So it makes sense

01:55

that each of the participants would agree to imitate each

01:58

other in all the external embellishments of life whatever the

02:02

heck that means but it does make you wonder doesn't

02:04

it If these european cultures were all getting along so

02:07

wonderfully in eighteen thirty two what was all that business

02:10

with world war one and world war two where they 00:02:12.633 --> [endTime] basically killed each other
