<p>according to princeton dictionary
slipshod= haphazard, marked by great carelessness </p>
<p>slip shot standards= careless standards? i dunno, it seems to be they were DILATORY because they didn't want to give him the money, not because they had careless standards</p>
<p>Yes, it was definitely dilatory. There was nothing about their actions that made it seem like they had slipshod standards. As someone above me noted, their actions made it seem like they had very exacting standards- definitely not slipshod.
But the fact that they were dillydalling on paying the guy showed that their actions were dilatory, or tending to delay or cause delay.</p>
<p>darn the sat. any other questions??? i hate this, i thought i did wel :(</p>
<p>For the folklore passage, the question was like what is the purpose of the parenthetical elements in lines 3-5</p>
<p>Was the answer to recognize the importance of a topic not discussed?</p>
<p>no, then i didn't put slipshod because i know that it means haphazard and careless. it was probably one of the ones that i made an X next to.</p>
<p>agree with reeya. they were meticulous about the compass, and if they were meticulous about it, they were "exacting" or the standards were in fact rigorously enforced, definetely not careless. they were trying to delay giving him the money , but the reason was never stated.</p>
<p>i agree with reya</p>
<p>TO: POST #124</p>
<p>I did not put that, I put to Illustrating a preceding point (that a degree of privacy had to be given up, and that example just ILLUSTRATED it.). It was either THAT or to present a point of view that is about to be rejected. but that would be reading the next paragraph, because he in fact does reject that point. so Illustrating a preceding point is probably correct</p>
<p>OOPS. sorry. completely wrong passage. hahaha</p>
<p>*n evermind i'm talking about the wrong thing. SORRY guys!</p>
<p>For the folklore passage, the question was like what is the purpose of the parenthetical elements in lines 3-5</p>
<h2>Was the answer to recognize the importance of a topic not discussed?</h2>
<p>That's what I thought it was, all the other answers didn't make sense.</p>
<p>reeya i think i put that or another answer choice, do u remember them?</p>
<p>^ jetelox you are talking about a different passage. i got that answer too.</p>
<p>question on food</p>
<p>was it</p>
<p>sad and pleasure</p>
<p>jextelox- i got that answer as well- we're talking about 2 different passages, but the one you're talking about was right too.</p>
<p>and sorry, ndnjguy i don't remember the other ones =[</p>
<p>AMONKEY, what was said inside the paranthesis?</p>
<p>jeztelox - native americans also have good folk art- heavily paraphrased, sorry, hope it jogs ur memory</p>
<p>OHHH i remember now</p>
<p>no it said ( especially the Americans and asians. ) or something to that point- and i don't remember my answer to that one. i don't think that was the right answer though
was it the one talking about how native americans immigrated at the same time as another group?</p>
<p>*it might be just me but okay i don't remember getting the folklore passage, i think that was the experimental right.? dude hahaha i'm completely thinking about the wrong passages.</p>
<p>JexteLox-
It said something about Native Americans and how their pottery was a different story.</p>
<p>OH. The paranthetical remarks were in a sentence that was to emphasize something, the previous point in the preceding sentence. Didn't it say (Especially) inside the parathesis?</p>
<p>SO which one was the experimental section?</p>
<p>does anyone know all the answers to the nature passage? it was really difficult for me.</p>
