Assignment 2 Solutions, continued
***
6) “When I was in math class, my teacher held me up by my hair until I could finally do the problems on my own.” “His mother was a constant but hidden source of help throughout his life – she was a glass floor, an invisible foundation.”
7) Inferential dependence: “His conclusion leaned on his premises, and I was worried that his opponent’s replies would lead to the collapse of his entire argument.”
8) Co-presence: “He was there for her when he needed help.”
9) “The metal beams were assisting the roof.” This is not a sensible sentence, but if the mapping were bidirectional it should mean, “The metal beams were giving physical support to the roof.”

Hi folks,
I've had some requests for solutions to Assignment 2. They were discussed in section, but that was a couple of weeks ago... So here they are again.
Happy studying,
Tyler

1) a, d, e, f
2) Physical Support: presence of support-related language in each sentence (support, crutch, lean on, propped)
3) Aid / Help: all four sentences are talking about help, either emotional (a, d, e) or economic (f)
4) Source of support → source of help. Removal of support → removal of help. Being supported → being helped, etc.
5) “I’ll carry you when you’re feeling down.” “The economy was buttressed by the stimulus package?”
