<p>What do the dashes mean?</p>

104

<p>The dashes mean extra emphasis between them.</p>

105

<p>@div How do you know that that is the score chart for this particular test?</p>

106

<p>he doesnt. just speculating based on old curves</p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>

107

<p>That science curve is brutal btw haha</p>

108

<p>On the comedy one, what was the answer about mimi handing the guy photos?</p>

<p>I thought it was implying she broke up with him (“comedienne named Mimi with whom I’d been horribly in love. I’d thought she’d been in love with me too. When Mimi - her real name was Miriam - handed me my pictures”)</p>

<p>But some people are saying that it inferred that they weren’t in any kind of relationship…</p>

109

<p>I heavily believed it was an end in a relationship. The other three choices were less likely =/ I mean, when you were handed your photos, that was pretty much a “you’re fired” kind of thing.</p>

110

<p>They WERE in a relationship, but she wasn’t really in LOVE with him.</p>

111

<p>On the constitution passage, there was a question on how the author responded to the questions he posed. I either put that he gave examples or avoided it and described 2 successful constitutions- probably the latter. Anyone else?</p>

112

<p>I put avoid also. I remember the passage had a lot of question in the 2nd or 3rd paragraph, but I don’t remember if he answer them at all and then went straight to talking about Maryland and plantation owners.</p>

113

<p>@imokaymen and @rasen wasnt there a similar answer to A) They ended their relationship.
I think C) said something like, It ended the hope of a relationship between the dude and mimi</p>

114

<p>First, “relationship” doesn’t always refer to a romantic love interest. For example, my relationship with my science teacher is that she is my instructor and i am the student. That being said, Mimi handing the photos to the narrator was indeed the end of their relationship (AKA She fired him).</p>

<p>@dfire im sorry bro but he didn’t avoid the questions. He answered some of them with a “variety of examples” or whatever that choice said. For example, he described Maryland and Pennsylvania, which are clear EXAMPLES that answer his questions.</p>

115

<p>^^ i put he answers the questions with a variety of examples showing that there are many answers or something like that</p>

116

<p>yeah I guess he did, but the answer were kinda indirect.</p>

117

<p>yeah the illustrating the answer with examples was definetly correct, and @rollingidce is wasnt just a regular relationship. In the passage the author said how the guy was falling in love or something like that. i think C) was a similar answer to A) they ended their relationship but i forget the wording completely.</p>

118

<p>I thought that too, but in the next paragraph the author clearly states at the beginning that states had very different constitutions because the states themselves were different, providing PA and mrylnd as examples. But I think that the choice about avoiding and introducing SUCCESSFUL constitutions may be wrong because the author never describes the states’ constitutions as successful, but just different. Anyone else care to weigh in?</p>

119

<p>Nevermind just read the above comments. If the choice said that there are many different ways then it’s obviously right. Im mad that I didn’t catch that.</p>

120

<p>for the relationship one…
the a) answer was just the end of a relationship while the c) answer was some long rambly thing about love and I thought the exact wording of it implied that mimi realized SHE wasn’t in love with HIM or something like that which made it not 100% correct… either way, I went with a.</p>
