<p>1) When you see shaded regions on a quadratic function graph you are usually asked for one of 4 things. Either they want to know the high or low points, where zeros occur, what effect translations have on them, or what the range of the shaded region is.Here we have a shaded region with boundaries.</p>
<p>I. Works because a is the value for the x-axis and clearly there is clearly a value of 4 or less.</p>
<p>II. Doesn’t work because clearly there are points where b (the y-axis value) is greater than a (the x-axis value)</p>
<p>III. Does work because b (the y value) is equal to f(a)</p>
<p>So the answer is D.</p>
<p>2) Remember that a remainder problem deals with a real number that is left over after division. If we have a remainder of 3, that means we have a real number left. For instance, if we divide 15 by 12, we find that 12 goes into 15 1 time and leaves 3 left over. So 12 works, as do 6 and 4. </p>
<p>So the answer is C.</p>
<p>3) The time it takes to run the maze (t) is represented on the vertical; column. The number of practices (p) is represented on the horizontal line. Look at the relationship. Although it is counter-intuitive, this graph shows that the number of practices does not change the time very much. The time stays near 44 throughout. SO t(p) = 44 </p>
<p>So the answer is A.</p>
<p>4) Their opponents allege that the research institute scholars rival “those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility,” and this is a bad thing. So, you need a word in the first blank that has negative connotations. You can eliminate (C) and (E) since they are both favorable. The institute scholars have something that the French nobility had—perquisites.</p>
<p>So the answer is A.</p>
<p>5) He writes that “it took time and effort to grow accustomed to it,” suggesting that the noise is constant and/or continuing. So, you need a word that means constant and/or continuing.</p>
<p>So the answer is B.</p>
<p>6) This paragraph talks about the language/vocabulary/imagery of the environmentalists and how each side has its own political agenda to promote. Their language choices reflect their agendas, and he pokes fun at their often inflammatory language.</p>
<p>So the answer is B.</p>
<p>7) You can immediately eliminate choice B because Douglass was critical of Stone on at least one occasion. You can also eliminate choice E because the author specifically describes her as a “veteran fighter.” Choice C and D are both inaccurate statements, regardless of the question. Douglass “accused Stone of willingness to advance woman's rights on the backs of the ‘defenceless slave woman’ who ‘has also to bear the ten thousand wrongs of slavery in addition to the common wrongs of woman.’” He felt her support of woman's rights superseded her concern about Blacks’ rights.</p>
<p>So the answer is A.</p>
<p>8) The words underneath the renamed newspaper title were “All Rights For All!” His goal in renaming it was to include all reform groups who promoted human equality. There is no evidence in the passage that he was more committed to woman's rights than other reform movements as said in choice B or that he was concerned with his newspaper receiving ridicule as said in choice C.</p>
<p>So the answer is D.</p>
<p>9) Three of the four paragraphs in Passage 1 speak primarily about the museum’s authenticity, and several references are made to the Villa de Papyri on which the museum was modeled. Neither passage mentions the potential for future expansion, the convenience for visitors, or its practicality, while both passages allude to its unusual appearance.</p>
<p>So the answer is C.</p>
<p>10) The parenthetical statement is “(any more than I know, or can know, how I normally walk).” This phrase serves to illustrate a point about unconscious adaptation like stated in choice E. In the previous lines, he has been talking about the difference between deliberate adaptations and unconscious adaptations. The point being, he does not know the mechanics involved in how a person walks, nor does he give walking any conscious consideration when he is doing it. </p>
<p>So the answer is E.</p>
<p>11) The author suggests that the figurative gesture described in lines 24-26 is one of calculated self-interest. The author further explains what he means when he says the many groups want to claim that “she’s with us” when referring to the black woman. In lines 29-31 he states that the black woman is valued for their difference so long as they do not mention it to often. Many groups want to include the black woman as long as it serves the group’s purpose.</p>
<p>So the answer is B.</p>
<p>12) The new clerk responds to Akaky’s words with compassion. Akaky had cried out to his co-workers with this: “Leave me alone! Why do you insult me?” The co-worker thought he heard this: “I am your brother”, which implies connection, relationship, and bond. Why would someone choose to inflict pain on a “brother”? This implies empathy and concern.</p>
<p>So the answer is E.</p>
<p>13) The use of the word “usually” tells you that what is normal for cathedrals is not going to be in this case. So, if cathedrals usually take decades, even centuries, to complete, then the National Cathedral was built faster than that. You are looking for a word that means built more quickly than expected or normal. </p>
<p>So the answer is A.</p>
<p>14) If a consortium of architects and historical soothsayer “plays” God then we would say the consortium acts as God. </p>
<p>So the answer is C.</p>
<p>15) The crime, as implied by the passage, is that when restoring or recreating a historical place or moment in time often real history, historical architecture, and art are lost, destroyed, or done in a way someone “thinks” it was or how they wish it had been (lines 74-76). The author suggests in line 82 that this type of crime is ominous because few people seem to be bothered by it.</p>
<p>So the answer is E.</p>
<p>Thank you so much. Your answer explanations have been really useful to me. Did you do it yourself or get it from the collegeboard service?</p>
