1) partial tuition scholarships of 2 or 3 years duration are available to students within New Zealand and internationally.
Is internationally correct? Or internaltional? Why?
2)
Philosophy, however, enlightened, however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles.
Question: Which selection best describes the word" vivifying" as used above?
A) Cohesive
b) life giving
c) universal
Here is the explanation: This is a rather difficult vocabulary to figure out based on context clues although some are given in the logical sequencing of the passage. Note that the author is listing virutes that are not accompanied by knowledge or philosophy so we know that the adjective describing princpiples must be one that attends virtue. Of the choices, universal and life giving are the only two that rise to that level. Recognizing the detail with which the author is presenting the differences between knowledge and virtue, the term universal would seem more out of sing than life giving so choice B would be the better choice.
But, I wonder, what about cohesive.? It is also an adj that attends virtue, too?
3)
It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, dispassionate mind, no noble bearing in the conduct of life- these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge.
Which selection best describe the word" connatural" as used above?
a) presumed
b) expected
c) warranted
d) cognate
e) herarled
Explanation: While all choices effectively make sense given the author is talking about the natural extension of a large knowledge, only choice D, cognate, follows the style of writing used by the author. By presenting the benefits of a large knowledge as such a given, it can best be understood that a word meaning inborn or innate as it relates to the acquision thereof would be used.
I wonder, does innate really mean cognate? Are they synonyms? I know they are all synonyms of connatural, but in different meanings, so they could not be each other's synonym?

Hi,
1) partial tuition scholarships of 2 or 3 years duration are available to students within New Zealand and internationally.
Is internationally correct? Yes. Or internaltional? Why? Because you need an adverb. You can't say 'Scholarships are available to students international'.

HI Clive,
#1 is clear now, but with 2 and 3, since those are SAT questions, I need to decode from the paragraph, these words I never knew before ( vivifying and connatural) so I would be grateful if you could go through the so called lengthy explanation, but thanks all the same

Hi,
The explanation I provided is cohesive. Only sentences are from a bigger passage.
In #2, cohesive, I think, also means uniting people, so that is of virtue, isn't that?
By the way, in #3 I've seen two meaning of cognate, that is " having the same origin" and "related in some way and therefore similar:" but didn't see the meaning of "inborn" or the kinds of it

Hi,
I'd really need to see the larger passages, I think. But to tell you the truth, I don't really want to spend more time on this particular topic. My garage door is stuck, and I have to go and fix it.
I hope you understand. Anyway, you seem to be doing pretty well in analyzing the subtleties of all this.
