<p>If it's possible, can you explain those 3 questions (16, 17, 18)</p>
<p>Answers:</p>
<ol>
<li>D</li>
<li>B</li>
<li>E</li>
</ol>
<p>Is this from an official test?</p>
<p>for 17 I got B butt almost chose D. I htink B is better because the author is trying to say that their is nothing natural for animals to try to adapt in their enviroment. It was tough but I thought B just sounded better.</p>
<p>anyways for 18 I got E apreciation cause in line 48 onwards it talks about all the benefits of the city eco system. I think you accidentally read line 47 like I did.</p>
<p>16 I dont really know. I put E, erronous because I thought the author was trying to say that they were wrong.</p>
<p>I went through BB, and the answer to 16 to is E.</p>
<p>yeah E just makes better sense. Inconclusive means no conclusion but the thinkers have a conclusion but its erronous.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I had a hard time understanding why the answer is D, I thought it was E…but I am sorry I have no answer for this one. If I were to take this test on test day, I would’ve put down E.
Edit: It seems like you mistyped the answer down.</p></li>
<li><p>He compares the city to other things that animals do in order to show that all three animals put up shelter or structures. We put up cities of concrete, while ants put up ant hills of dirt, and beavers put up dams of wood. All three things are products of natural impulses. He also says there is nothing unnatural about them at the end of the paragraph.
Can’t Be:
A-Does not explain any inner workings of ecological systems, the topic is about a city, not ecological systems in general.
C-He does not say in anyway that anything is actually bad for nature.
D-This is probably the only other plausible one. However, he does not use the comparison to make this point, he uses the comparison to show why each is a natural impulse, not show that different species flourish in different environments. The question asks about the comparison, you can’t assume anything in this situation.
E-No mention to obstacles is made in the paragraph. </p></li>
<li><p>This is definitely appreciation. First off it can’t be A-D because none of them make sense, but it is E because the author praises the city’s energy sources and compares them to sweet nectar that bees are fond of, nectar is an intrinsically “good” thing to be compared to.
It Can’t be
A-There is no apology made for anything
B-He does not show any signs of anger when talking about the city
C-He does not show mixed feeling associated with ambivalence. He does not praise one thing and then bash another.
D-This is the “crap” answer that they always have on tone inference questions, he is talking about the city and what it has, far from being unconcerned about the idea he is so adamantly defending.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Yeah, sorry it’s E V_V. sorry guys!</p>
<p>And thanks for the explanations. Really cleared up all of my questions.</p>
