Mags Loves Meta
I got 22 out of 24 so I am right chuffed. I thought that two or three of the questions were extremely difficult. For instance, which of the juvenilia was dedicated to Eliza de Feuillide. I guessed Love and Freindship which happened to be correct, but this is not the sort of thing most folks would take note of or remember…?
I also got 22 out of 24 and am pleased with myself. Though, I admit, some of my correct answers were guesses (I need to reread Northanger Abbey and Mansfield Park!). Many, however, I could have answered correctly without even multiple choice.
I got 14. Sadly. I need to read Mansfield Park and Persuasion. Movies didn’t help me much. >_
I received 21 out of 24– I totally agree that some of the questions were difficult! It wouldn’t be as much fun if it weren’t a bit of a challenge, though.
I got 23 out of 24!:)
Alas, I only got 20 out of 24. I went against my first instinct on one about Edward. Sigh.
20/24…still a B!! Just a reminder to re-read Emma and Mansfield Park…
Darn! Missed one. I guess Rushworth was never of interest to me in the first place.
I got two wrong, and passed on the the question about her juvenile fiction written in letters. Overall I’m pleased with the result. I knew most of the answers without even thinking.
Don’t feel bad, Tony. Rushworth was never of interest to anyone else either.
I, too, got 22 of 24. I’m annoyed with myself because both times I had narrowed my choice to two and picked wrong both times.
What I want to know is how did our most reveered High Priestess do?
Hmm–thought I put it in there. 23 right.
I thought there were 25 questions…I guess I got one wrong. I thought I got two wrong. There were two that I pretty much guessed on. I can’t remember what they were.
Wow, you guys are good, I got a measly 9
Oh, well, I suppose it gives me an excuse to read the books again…
I scored 22 of 24 so I missed two questions. It was the one about the card game Elinor arranged in S&S and then what Edward thought was more grand than a watch tower. I was looking for cottage so I didn’t think farm house! I guess I’ll just have to read S&S again!
Well, I got all 24 right! I’ve made a point of reading the Big Six every year since I was 20, and I’m 52 now, so I’ve been through them 32 times at least — I =better= get 24 outta 24!!! (And yeah, I know I need a life …)
The MP questions were right up my street this year, we’ve been working so hard on the Annual General Meeting.
23… not too shabby! *beams* For the life of me, I couldn’t remember Tom Bertram’s first choice for the MP play.
