    Which of the following might not be part of revelry? 

    • Dancing

    • Music

    • Solitude

    • Laughter

    Correct Answer
    A. Solitude
    Explanation
    Solitude might not be part of revelry because revelry typically involves socializing, lively activities, and a festive atmosphere. Solitude, on the other hand, refers to being alone and in a state of seclusion. It is the opposite of revelry, which is characterized by a group of people engaging in joyful and exuberant behavior. Therefore, solitude is unlikely to be part of revelry.

They may consider factors such as the reputation of the college, the programs and majors offered, the location, the cost, and the overall fit for their academic and personal goals.

    • Receiving an invitation to a party

    Correct Answer
    A. Receiving an invitation to a party
    Explanation
    Receiving an invitation to a party might not cause consternation because it is typically seen as a positive and enjoyable event. Losing the car keys and a wallet or purse can cause stress and worry due to the inconvenience and potential loss of important items. Hearing a doorbell at midnight can also cause consternation as it may be unexpected and potentially signify an emergency or disturbance. However, receiving an invitation to a party is generally seen as a pleasant surprise and can be anticipated with excitement rather than consternation.

    Explanation
    Buying a new coat might be done on a whim because it is a relatively small and spontaneous decision that does not require much planning or consideration. Unlike electing a president, building a new house, or building a space station, buying a new coat is a personal choice that can be made impulsively based on individual preferences or desires.

    Correct Answer
    A. A bias
    Explanation
    A bias does not express haughtiness because it refers to a preconceived opinion or prejudice, which may not necessarily be accompanied by an arrogant or superior attitude. Haughtiness typically involves a sense of superiority or condescension, which is not present in the concept of bias.

    • Voting in an election

    • Staying up late

    • Paying taxes

    Correct Answer
    A. Staying up late
    Explanation
    Staying up late could be considered a privilege because it implies having the freedom and autonomy to choose when to sleep, without any restrictions or obligations. This privilege is often associated with adulthood or independence, as children and individuals with strict schedules may not have the same freedom to stay up late. Additionally, staying up late can also be seen as a luxury, as it allows for more personal time or the opportunity to engage in leisure activities.
