to answer the following question I get up every morning
- 00:20
in a nineteen year old look back all right in
- 00:24
point seven on the list What has compunction mean Compunction
- 00:29
and hear the potential answers Puncture wound All right well
- 00:36
we need to check out all of number seven to
- 00:38
get this one Right All right Well yeah this old
- 00:41
schools or be it sounds a little cryptic to modern
- 00:43
ears but the process of elimination and will save the
- 00:46
day All right first let's cross be off the list
- 00:50
Though the word compunction does sound a bit like puncture
- 00:53
This is definitely not what the speaker has gone for
- 00:55
What a relief If puncture were the meeting then the
- 00:57
speaker would be advising that relationship with old ladies or
- 01:00
better than with young ladies because there are less puncture
- 01:04
wounds involved Yikes All right well we feel like it's
- 01:07
solid advice to keep puncture wounds out of every relationship
- 01:10
And we think the speaker would agree in the point
- 01:13
our weekend next choice D because it just doesn't fit
- 01:16
into the context Substitute promise for compunction in a sentence
- 01:21
And it's not hard to see because the promise is
- 01:23
less less what It's total gibberish So let's keep him
- 01:27
option c sort of makes sense Ruining a young lady's
- 01:31
reputation by having an affair with her would surely give
- 01:33
her a bad case of the bitter Reflections but number
- 01:37
four is the one on the list that goes into
- 01:39
reputation Woes not number seven The best answers option A
- 01:43
compunction is a feeling of uneasiness about whether something is
- 01:46
right or wrong So the author is telling his friend
- 01:50
that it won't need to feel guilty if he has
- 01:52
an affair with an old woman because she'll be grateful
- 01:54
while a young woman will be hurt if the friend
- 01:57
refuses tio marry her Wow ben franklin We can just
- 02:02
imagine what the ladies on the view would have to 00:02:04.98 --> [endTime] say about this boy You yeah yeah
