<p>Crap. I just remembered another question.</p>

<p>NASA passage: It was one of the first ones.</p>

<p>The first part of the sentence said that the Greeks identified Mars as being the planet of death(some thing scary) and Americans__________. The question asked which of the folowing phrases best supports that people thought of Mars as scary.</p>

<p>A No change (wrong)
B thought mars was out of control
C Made spine tingling movie of little green men
D I forgot</p>

<p>I chose C because doesn't spine tingling movies give a sense of scariness?</p>

102

<p>It's definitely C</p>

103

<p>@zab</p>

<p>yes it is the one with the hyphen</p>

104

<p>Yes, it was age-old</p>

<p>Yes, it was green men/spine tingling sensation</p>

105

<p>I agree with both of quicksand's answers.</p>

106

<p>so there was an answer choice that said "age old" and "age-old"?</p>

107

<p>"And for where the phrase NOT placed... "after cause""</p>

<p>Does anyone remember roughly what the sentence asked? I don't remember what I put for this one</p>

108

<p>I remember that question a little.</p>

<p>The phrase COULD be placed at the very beginning and they very end of the sentence. I said it could NOT be placed right before the ''and'' in the sentence.</p>

<p>blah blah blah______ and jobs blah blah</p>

109

<p>No they were "old age" and "age-old," but "age-old" is the answer.</p>

110

<p>i put age-old also. plus the passage about mars what was the one at the very beginning of the story where it asked something about scientists? i know one of the choices was like best-selling authors? i can't remember which one i put!</p>

111

<p>this was my first act, no prep at all, and i just felt really really good about this english section. i finished with 15 minutes to spare, no exaggeration, and i went back and corrected a few. hoping for 34-36 on it. (maybe being on school newspaper helps?)</p>
