The Mystery of the
Yellow Room
1.
The word “atone” refers to: A. Mlls Stangerson disobeyed her father
previously; which she explains within this prose and then the word in context
means to make amends with her father.
I.
Correct: Mlls Stangerson trying to make
amends with her father.
II.
Incorrect because Jean Roussel does not care
about anything except for getting Mlls Stangerson back or taking revenge on her
leaving him; he does not care about getting reconciled.
III.
Incorrect because Mlls Stangerson’s father does
not have a name for her to live up to as far as one can tell from the prose.
IV.
Incorrect because the definition of “atone” is
either to make amends or to live up to, not to love.
V.
Incorrect because Mlls Stangerson does want to
forget about her disobedience; however that is not what “atone” means.
2.
This prose includes all of the following except:
D. Metaphor because the whole purpose to this prose is for Leroux to allow
Rouletabille to explain how the mystery summed up and why everything happened.
I. Incorrect because there are examples of elevated
diction such as: “resuscitated” and “succumbed”.
II.
Incorrect because there is a wide variation of
sentence structures throughout this prose.
III.
Incorrect because the “Louisville home” is being
personified.
IV.
Correct: Metaphor
V.
Incorrect because hyperbole is an exaggeration and
Leroux uses words such as: “condemned” and “demanding” to illuminate how
important these situations may be.
3.
The use of polysyllabic diction is used to
emphasize Leroux’s attitude towards the characters of the novel. Which of the
following are examples of this elevated diction? The Answer is iv because both
I and II include words that are elevated and polysyllabic such as: “Succumbed”,
“outwitted” and “scoundrel”.
I.
“He was outwitted and would have succumbed had
it not been for the genius of Rouletabille.”
II.
“The scoundrel pretended…”
This choice is incorrect because
beautiful and charming are everyday words used in any situation, nothing truly elevated
about them, or polysyllabic; they are on the lower syllable side of all the
polysyllabic words to choose.
III.
“The first hours of their union in their
beautiful and charming Louisville home.”
i.
I
ii.
III
iii.
II
iv.
I and II
v.
II and III
4.
What does Mlls. Stangerson plan to do if her
father finds out about her running away with a past suitor? The correct answer
is V. This statement is obviously stated in the prose.
I.
Incorrect because she does not say she will cry
II.
Incorrect because she wants her father to
forgive her as if he knew; not to kill her father
III.
Incorrect because Jean Roussell, her past suitor
is the problem and she has no way of killing him.
IV.
Incorrect because she does not want to live without
her father or Robert Darzac
V.
Correct: Commit suicide
5.
The segment of: “all this she had confessed to
Robert Darzac…that he still loved her.” Serves to: III because the entire prose
talks of the crime and how the solution makes sense.
I.
Incorrect because there is no foreshadow what is
to come, as this is the end of the mystery.
II.
Incorrect because there is both no way to tell
that the audience previously knew any of this and this is all being explained;
makes no sense to explain something twice.
III.
Correct: Provide an explanation to the
horrendous acts that caused such a mystery to be solved.
IV.
Incorrect because Mlls. Stangerson may have
wanted to repent her sins and be forgiven, however that is not what that
specific section is centered on.
V.
Incorrect because Mlls. Stangerson got over her
other lover who turned out to be the an enraged violent man.
