Why the Exam Depends on the Distinction

Captions available

The idea

Sample question ten asks for the speaker's state of mind. If speaker and author were the same, the answer would be biography and the board says the exam needs no familiarity with particular works. The question is answerable because the voice is on the page, complete, for reading.

In practice

The voice is on the page, entire.

Where people slip

No question here is biographical.
