Here's your shmoop du jour...

00:08

It's read and review time, shmoops and shmoopettes...

00:22

Which of the following BEST expresses one of the themes in the previous passage?

00:29

And here are the potential answers:

00:44

...it's really just asking if we can comprehend and interpret what we're reading.

00:48

In other words... it wants to know if we're zoning out and thinking instead about this

00:51

weekend's fantasy football draft. As long as we read the passage carefully,

01:07

B is a shot in the dark. Unless you consider love a crime, we guess.

01:11

01:19

This passage is all about love... so our answer is C.
