4. is correct, but I doubt if 2 is correct. What were you supposed to read in order to answer this question?
For number 2, we had to read 'Not Much of Me' and 'With A Task Before Me'.

It sounds like regret to me.
I read more regret than shame in Lincoln's attitude toward his education.
From "Not Much of Me":
"There I grew up. There were some schools, so called; but no qualification was ever required of a teacher, beyond “readin, writin, and cipherin,” to the Rule of Three. If a straggler supposed to understand latin, happened to sojourn in the neighborhood, he was looked upon as a wizzard. There was absolutely nothing to excite ambition for education. Of course when I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher to the Rule of Three; but that was all. I have not been to school since."
ok thanks

Yes, you are correct!
For question 2, the answer is (d) shame. To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the information provided in the question. It states that Abraham Lincoln describes his educational background with a particular characteristic. Considering the options provided, shame seems to be the most appropriate response. This can be inferred from historical knowledge about Lincoln and his humble beginnings, as well as the fact that his formal education was limited.
For question 4, the answer is (c) of our senses. To determine this, you can analyze the definition of imagery, which is language that creates vivid mental pictures or sensations in the reader's mind. From the options given, (c) of our senses best matches this definition since imagery appeals to the senses, such as sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. This helps to enhance the reader's understanding and immersion in the literary work.
Well done on answering correctly! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
