Questions 1-5 of 25:

1.

Why is it important that the last two clauses of Proposition 238 use the conditional past perfect verb tense? (from Propositions 209 - 240)

The tense is used to deliberately confuse the reader.

The tense implies the speaker still misses “you.”

The tense implies that the speaker has moved on.

The tense’s complexity symbolizes the difficulty of the speaker’s conclusion.

2.

Why does the speaker always call the biologist “the expert on guppy menopause”? (from Propositions 22 - 62)

It demonstrates the speaker’s disregard for science.

It explains why she goes to him with her questions about color.

It shows how out of place the speaker feels in academic settings.

It both acknowledges and trivializes his expertise.

3.

Why is the “systematic illusion of color” similar to the experience of love (#53)? (from Propositions 22 - 62)

Science can explain neither color nor love.

In both cases, one believes one’s impressions are intrinsic qualities of the color or beloved, rather than one’s own constructions.

It is impossible to escape experiencing either color or love without making oneself entirely blind.

Colors emerge from an incomprehensible chaos of factors, as does love.

4.

What do the blue shirt “you” wears and the blue coat of Goethe’s Werther symbolize? (from Propositions 99 - 133)

Lost or false love.

Suicide.

Depression.

Deception.

5.

How do the names of the Tuareg tribe contribute to the theme of meaning? (from Propositions 148 - 180)

The names Tuareg and Imohag question the importance of religion in daily life.

The Tuareg name imposed by others means the opposite of the name the Imohag give themselves.

Outside observation cannot provide accurate answers.

Naming is an important step in creating meaning.
