I encountered these while practicing for the SAT
I don't understand what these following statements say:
1) Sans love, what does the author purport to be the state of woman in this world?
(one of the answer choices) : a conduit of pleasure greatly sought particularly as a result of her own adornment
What does sought mean here?
2) Perhaps this is the main value of a habit of writing, of keeping a journal- that so we rember our best hours and stimulate ourselves
Does the phrase after that express the main value of a habit of writing?
3) The term nest egg in line (x) is a metaphor for:
(one of the answer choices) a thought that will manifest itself as yet another thought
What does as yet mean?
