00:03

All right, check out the following passage.

00:04

[ mumbles ]

00:16

Which of the following statements best describes

00:18

Fanny Price in broad terms?

00:20

And here are the potential answers.

00:24

All right.

00:25

Fanny Price wasn't exactly the life of the party.

00:28

Unless it was some sort of awkward silence party.

00:34

So what's the best, most complete description of her?

00:36

Well, we can write off option C, as it's objectively untrue.

00:40

The passage states Fanny wasn't vulgar and her countenance was pretty.

00:44

Unless we're taking etiquette cues from a

00:47

motorcycle gang here, it's hard to interpret that as rude.

00:50

So option C is incorrect.

00:51

And while option D is an accurate statement,

00:54

- she was ten years old - it's way too specific.

00:57

There's more to Fanny than just being ten.

00:59

That isn't even enough to distinguish her from that Home Alone kid.

01:02

Option A is also too specific.

01:05

Yes, Fanny didn't like to be noticed,

01:07

but that's only part of her.

01:09

There's more to Fanny than just meets the eye.

01:11

So A is out.

01:12

But option B gives a more complete representation of Fanny.

01:16

While she was nothing extraordinary,

01:18

there was nothing overtly awful about her, either.

01:21

She wasn't running around, causing chaos and so on.

01:24

So option B is the correct answer.

01:26

Fanny Price - quiet,

01:28

flies under the radar.

01:29

We should probably get her a Netflix subscription.
