Answer 3

Par means average, or equal. For example, the US and Canadian dollar are "at par" ... one USD can be exchanged for one CAD. When you're feeling "below par" it means that you don't feel as well, or energetic, or sharp as you usually do. If you said her reaction was "par for the course", you'd mean that she had reacted as you expected, or as she'd reacted similarly in trhe past.
