2. The note Julia slips  to Winston says,

Explanation

The correct answer is "I love you." because it is the only note that expresses a positive emotion. The other notes contain threatening messages or indicate surveillance, which are negative and do not convey affection. Therefore, "I love you." is the most likely and appropriate message to be slipped to Winston.

Submit
3. The most feared place in the Ministry of Love is

Explanation

In George Orwell's novel 1984, Room 101 is the most feared place in the Ministry of Love. It is a room where individuals are subjected to their worst fears and phobias. The purpose of Room 101 is to break down a person's resistance and force them to betray their deepest beliefs and loyalties. It represents the ultimate form of psychological torture and serves as a tool for the Party to control and manipulate its citizens.

Submit
4. Winston and Julia tell O'Brien that they are willing to do anything for the Brotherhood except

Explanation

Winston and Julia express their willingness to do anything for the Brotherhood except separate from each other. This suggests that their love for each other is strong and they are committed to staying together. They are willing to engage in risky and dangerous activities, such as maiming and disfiguring people or committing murder, but they draw the line at being separated. This demonstrates the depth of their connection and the importance they place on their relationship.

Submit
5. The Newspeak word which means the ability to hold two mutually contradictory ideas in mind simultaneously and to believe both of them is

Explanation

Doublethink is the correct answer because it accurately describes the ability to hold two contradictory ideas simultaneously and believe in both of them. This concept is a key feature of George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984, where the government manipulates language and thought to control its citizens. Doublethink represents the cognitive dissonance and mental gymnastics required to accept contradictory beliefs as truth. It showcases the power of propaganda and the suppression of independent thought in a totalitarian society.

Submit
6. The real purpose of Newspeak is to

Explanation

Newspeak, as depicted in George Orwell's novel 1984, is a language created by the totalitarian government to limit and control the thoughts and behaviors of its citizens. By narrowing the range of vocabulary and eliminating words that express rebellious or independent thinking, Newspeak aims to restrict the ability to form dissenting ideas and challenge the ruling party's ideology. Therefore, the real purpose of Newspeak is to control thought, ensuring that individuals conform to the government's desired beliefs and preventing any opposition or resistance.

Submit
7. True or False: The proles are less monitored than members of the outer-party.

Explanation

The proles are less monitored than members of the outer-party because they are considered to be less of a threat to the ruling party. The Party focuses its surveillance and control on the inner-party and outer-party members who have more knowledge and potential to rebel against the regime. The proles, on the other hand, are seen as ignorant and apathetic, making them less likely to challenge the Party's authority. Therefore, they are given more freedom and less scrutiny compared to the outer-party members.

Submit
8. O'Brien is arrested as the novel ends. 

Explanation

The statement "O'Brien is arrested as the novel ends" is false. The novel does not provide any information about O'Brien being arrested at the end. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
9. In an APA in-text citation, what should come right after an author's name in a signal phase?  According to Obama  _________________, Mitt Romney suffers from romnesia.

Explanation

In an APA in-text citation, the year of publication should come right after an author's name in a signal phrase. This is indicated by the parentheses around the year of publication in the given correct answer.

Submit
10. The one thing Winston fears most is

Explanation

Winston fears rats the most because in George Orwell's novel "1984," rats are used as a symbol of fear and torture. The protagonist, Winston, has a phobia of rats, and this fear is exploited by the Party to break his spirit. In one of the most intense scenes, Winston is threatened with rats being placed on his face, which terrifies him to the point of betraying his beliefs. Rats represent the Party's power to manipulate and control individuals through fear, making them a potent symbol of Winston's deepest fears.

Submit
11. What is the best way to describe Katherine's attitude toward love making?

Explanation

Katherine's attitude toward love making can be described as a duty to have children for the Party. This suggests that she views sexual relations primarily as a means of fulfilling her obligation to procreate for the benefit of the Party, rather than as a personal or emotional experience.

Submit
12. What is the name of the last page in an APA research paper? (This is where you have all of the articles, books, etc, listed that were used in the paper).

Explanation

The last page in an APA research paper is called the "Reference" page. This is where all the articles, books, and other sources that were used in the paper are listed.

Submit
13. Encountering  the dark-haired girl outside Charrington's shop, Winston considers

Explanation

The given correct answer suggests that Winston considers murdering the dark-haired girl outside Charrington's shop. This implies that Winston has dark thoughts and is contemplating a violent act towards her. This could be due to his frustration, anger, or potential involvement in rebellious activities against the Party. It also highlights the oppressive and dangerous nature of the society depicted in the text, where even thoughts can be considered criminal.

Submit
14. Winston is Julia's first lover.

Explanation

The statement "Winston is Julia's first lover" is false. This implies that Julia has had other lovers before Winston, indicating that Winston is not her first lover.

Submit
15. Winston works for the Ministry of

Explanation

Winston works for the Ministry of Truth because the question states that he works for the Ministry of "Truth".

Submit
16. There are no written laws in Oceania.

Explanation

In the context of the question, "Oceania" refers to a fictional dystopian society depicted in George Orwell's novel "1984." In this society, the ruling party maintains absolute control over its citizens, including their thoughts and actions. One of the ways they exert control is by constantly changing and manipulating laws to suit their agenda. As a result, there are no written laws in Oceania because the ruling party can change them at any time, making it impossible for citizens to rely on a fixed set of rules. Therefore, the statement that there are no written laws in Oceania is true.

Submit
17. In APA style, which of the following is NOT required on a title page?

Explanation

In APA style, the page count is not required on a title page. The title page should include the title of the paper, the author's name, and the name of the institution or class. A running head, which is a shortened version of the title, is also required on the title page. However, the page count is typically included in the header or footer of subsequent pages, but not on the title page.

Submit
18. Winston has a vague memory in the following passage from Part 2, Chapter II, of 1984.  What do we later learn about this memory? 'It's this bloody thing that does it,' she said, ripping off the scarlet sash of the Junior Anti-Sex League and flinging it on to a bough. Then, as though touching her waist had reminded her of something, she felt in the pocket of her overalls and produced a small slab of chocolate. She broke it in half and gave one of the pieces to Winston. Even before he had taken it he knew by the smell that it was very unusual chocolate. It was dark and shiny, and was wrapped in silver paper. Chocolate normally was dull-brown crumbly stuff that tasted, as nearly as one could describe it, like the smoke of a rubbish fire. But at some time or another he had tasted chocolate like the piece she had given him. The first whiff of its scent had stirred up some memory which he could not pin down, but which was powerful and troubling. 'Where did you get this stuff?' he said. 'Black market,' she said indifferently. 'Actually I am that sort of girl, to look at. I'm good at games. I was a troop-leader in the Spies. I do voluntary work three evenings a week for the Junior Anti-Sex League. Hours and hours I've spent pasting their bloody rot all over London. I always carry one end of a banner in the processions. I always look cheerful and I never shirk anything. Always yell with the crowd, that's what I say. It's the only way to be safe.' The first fragment of chocolate had melted on Winston's tongue. The taste was delightful. But there was still that memory moving round the edges of his consciousness, something strongly felt but not reducible to definite shape, like an object seen out of the corner of one's eye. He pushed it away from him, aware only that it was the memory of some action which he would have liked to undo but could not.

Explanation

In the passage, Winston is given a piece of chocolate by Julia, which triggers a memory that he cannot fully recall. He describes the taste of the chocolate as delightful, but there is a memory on the edges of his consciousness that he cannot fully grasp. Later on, he remembers stealing chocolate from his little sister when they were both starving. This memory aligns with the taste and smell of the chocolate given to him by Julia, indicating that the memory he couldn't fully recall was related to this act of stealing chocolate.

20. What is the MAIN significance of the following passage from Part 2, Chapter IV, of 1984: 'And that picture over there'— she nodded at the engraving on the opposite wall —'would that be a hundred years old?' 'More. Two hundred, I dare say. One can't tell. It's impossible to discover the age of anything nowadays.' She went over to look at it. 'Here's where that brute stuck his nose out,' she said, kicking the wainscoting immediately below the picture. 'What is this place? I've seen it before somewhere.' 'It's a church, or at least it used to be. St Clement Danes its name was.' The fragment of rhyme that Mr Charrington had taught him came back into his head, and he added half-nostalgically: "Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St Clement's!" To his astonishment she capped the line: 'You owe me three farthings, say the bells of St Martin's, When will you pay me? say the bells of Old Bailey ——' 'I can't remember how it goes on after that. But anyway I remember it ends up, "Here comes a candle to light you to bed, here comes a chopper to chop off your head!"' It was like the two halves of a countersign. But there must be another line after 'the bells of Old Bailey'. Perhaps it could be dug out of Mr Charrington's memory, if he were suitably prompted. 'Who taught you that?' he said. 'My grandfather. He used to say it to me when I was a little girl. He was vaporized when I was eight — at any rate, he disappeared. I wonder what a lemon was,' she added inconsequently. 'I've seen oranges. They're a kind of round yellow fruit with a thick skin.' 'I can remember lemons,' said Winston. 'They were quite common in the fifties. They were so sour that it set your teeth on edge even to smell them.' 'I bet that picture's got bugs behind it,' said Julia. 'I'll take it down and give it a good clean some day. I suppose it's almost time we were leaving. I must start washing this paint off. What a bore! I'll get the lipstick off your face afterwards.'  

Explanation

The passage foreshadows how Julia and Winston are caught at the end of Part 2. The mention of the engraving and the conversation about the church and the rhyme "Oranges and lemons" triggers Winston's memory of Mr. Charrington, who turns out to be a member of the Thought Police. This connection between the engraving and Mr. Charrington leads to their discovery and arrest by the Party.
