Sorry and here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:04

by forcible language Oh sorry we met forcible language Well

00:11

sorry about that but your phone's back in there you

00:14

go all right We're skimming or keep skimming Huxley schmucks

00:17

Lee huxley Okay well we're just going to say we're

00:22

done skimming let's go alright The speaker uses the phrase

00:26

in language more forcible in line forty three so what

00:30

does he mean by forcible here all right near the

00:32

potential answers especially aggressively let's rolling The trick with this

00:40

one is re reading the little paragraph from which this

00:43

quote is taken So the author is saying that professor

00:45

huxley's words are awesome and it huxley says that all

00:48

better than the author can Well maybe he should have

00:50

let hustler write this essay We'll start by kicking choice

00:54

d to the curb Thie author isn't being critical of

00:56

huck say at all He loves the hugs he's probably

00:59

at home and a t shirt with his face on

01:01

them It will be misses The mark to the author

01:06

01:10

If they had skywriting back in the day he would

01:12

have written i heart huxley in sky just like that

01:15

choi si is one of those sneaky answers that deliberately

01:18

tries to trick us Quote does use the word forcible

01:22

which lives in the same world is the word aggressively

01:25

And what a pleasant world that must be Thing is

01:29

we're trying to find a word that describes how the

01:31

author feels about the professor's forcible language We're not interested

01:35

in how the professor himself was speaking While we're at

01:39

it we can cross out option e for pretty much

01:41

the same reason Brazenly describe something that's done poor actually

01:46

or boldly like if you went to your aunt mabel

01:48

and finally told her exactly what you think of that

01:50

sergeant casserole she forced you to eat is an innocent

01:53

child This might describe how the professor talks about science

01:57

but it doesn't describe how the author talks about the

01:59

perf officer Talking about science Option is the only one

02:03

that gets it The author really admires professor huxley so
