Here's your shmoopy multi question thingie... question 2 of 5...

00:09

OK, question review time... go ahead and hit pause...

00:21

Which of the following categories BEST describes Shmoop-a-palooza?

00:26

And here are the potential answers:

00:27

So... what is this question asking?

00:29

Can we read and interpret the material to determine what exactly this event... is?

00:35

Before we even dive into the passage... what in the world is a "palooza?"

00:39

We may never have been to a Shmoop-a-palooza in particular, but based on the word alone,

00:45

we might be able to imagine that ANY kind of a palooza is... a wacky and wild, crazy

00:50

fun time. Whatever it is.

00:53

Okay, so... quick scan. Let's zip through all this bulky material and see where the

00:57

word "shmoopalooza" pops up...

01:02

There it is at the very beginning...

01:03

...and there it is at the very end, in the web address.

01:07

So... it seems as if ALL of this has to do with Shmoopalooza, not just a bullet or two.

01:14

Our first option is "concert," which seems to be related to the Quagswaggers' performance...

01:18

but not much else.

01:23

Choice B, "eating contest" fits with the first bullet... but it doesn't look like

01:28

there's going to be much competitive cookie-gorging going on the rest of the weekend.

01:34

Choice C is "festival or fair." Ooh, that sounds about right. Let's put a pin in it.

01:41

What about D -- "amusement park?" There are certainly elements of an amusement park,

01:46

but again, C is more general and all-inclusive. The answer is C.

01:51

As in... "Cookie cramps."
