<p>@sbl0323, @nycstudent Yeah it was an adult looking back at childhood. They also said “I remember the smell of the ink”, so tells you it’s from the past.</p>

102

<p>it was an adult looking back, i also remember her aunt having better caligraphy (sp) than the father</p>

103

<p>so in the plane one, there was one about “what was the purpose of the second paragraph”</p>

<p>i said that it was to chronicle their test flights or something.</p>

104

<p>^ Her aunt having better calligraphy than her father, wasn’t that the answer to one of the questions.</p>

105

<p>I thought it was an ink maker not an adult looking back on her childhood</p>

<p>Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using CC App</p>

106

<p>i said it gave more details about their first flight that worked</p>

107

<p>

No. See my post in this thread: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/act-preparation/1124042-curve-predictions.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/act-preparation/1124042-curve-predictions.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

108

<p>What about the question in the ink passage that said what happened in the past? I don’t remember any of the answer choices except there was a fire and the items were lost/burned.</p>

109

<p>do you guys remember what you put for the one where it said given all the following are true, which would add to the physical presence of the queen? I either said on her throne or none of them can’t remember</p>

110

<p>On her throne.</p>

111

<p>^ Go to the English thread, btw I put on her throne too.</p>

112

<p>I put the ink was ruined by insects</p>

113

<p>my bad couldn’t remember if it was English or reading ><</p>

114

<p>@HSstudent: I put ‘on her throne.’</p>

115

<p>@Qwerty The passage had something with a fire in it, so the answer was lost/burned, so I think you’re right.</p>

116

<p>you had to infer it, i dont think fire was right</p>

117

<p>Fire was right</p>

118

<p>i think fire was it, because it said “a couple hundred years ago, a fire burned our shed”</p>

<p>so i took couple to mean 200? it was the only one that made sense, so i agree with Qwerty</p>

119

<p>it was fire they mentioned that centuries ago there had been one that destroyed their materials and goods.</p>

120

<p>I don’t think fire is right either.</p>
