Which Analogies and Sentance Completions did you find most difficult, or would be most difficult for most students. What did you answer for them and why?

There was one sentence competion, like the professor "spiced" up a lecture or something? Does anyone remember the answer to that?

No, that one was rumormonger:gossip.
A neophyte *is* a beginner; a quack *is not* a doctor.

I think the answers to those two were intermittent (100% sure) and scrutiny (don't remember the question, but I think I put scrutiny for an answer somewhere).

why intermittent
it said the authors success was ___ as opposed to agtah who enjoed more lifelong fame
sunsequent means immediately following time.
intermittent means starting and stopping
it was confusing question

I agree that intermittent was not a perfect choice, but it is by far the best choice. The sentence was contrasting Agatha's eternal fame to other authors' short lived fame. Now intermittent implies that an author is famous for a short while, and then unpopular and this cycle continues. Subsequent means following in time, as you aptly put it, but it does not contrast Agatha's long term fame in any way. Infact, if you plug subsequent into that sentence, you can clearly see for yourself that it doesn't "sound" right. HTH
