<p>@big, 1) her arms outspread and dress rippling (idk about that one)
2) “their mask”; should be plural
3) when, should be changed to than</p>

<p>Is there any chance the cutoff would be lower for one year?</p>

<p>Seeing these answers immediately tells me I bombed this year’s PSAT once again.</p>

<p>@dumbandlethal I felt that the griots being main means of passing down history was straying from the topic too much</p>

<p>Did you put amusement or appreciation for the author’s attitude towards henna in the last line or paragraph 1? I put appreciative because he saw the women decorating one another. He doesn’t seem to specifically praise the art.</p>

<p>for where the author used a giraffe and elephant, was it to note an incongruity or the analogy answer? she said children see giraffes and aren’t used to cows in a zoo or something.</p>

<p>i put one that, appreciative, note an incongruity</p>

<p>The writing question that had the father discouraged the daughter TO join an abnormal profession, was the error supposed to be a “from” not a to. discourage from is the idiom I believe</p>

<p>@karthik correct.</p>

<p>I put analogy and I was back and forth between incongruity and that answer choice… She was comparing how giraffes were seen and cows weren’t. incongruity is like a difference…</p>

<p>no support there? all right cool.</p>
