<p>Could someone please tell the sentence? And the second option with antithetical?</p>
<p>Plus, why was the answer statistics are misleading? As a whole, the passage did suggest that, but wasn’t the question about the last line of the second paragraph which implied that poetry is becoming popular day by day and what not?</p>
<p>@okdudetwer100 Yeah I had that version…No one has really posted anything about it yet, but I had 3 No Errors for the Writing finding-the-error section. Math was straightforward (except for the 3200 perimeter one that almost caught me). The CR section’s vocab was easy, but there were a couple tricky questions</p>
<p>For the last question, the median was unaffected correct? Because the new mode became 600 from 200, but the median still was in the 400 category</p>
<p>in the math section there was something about a graph and reflected with respect to the y-axis the choices were x-3 , x+3 , 3x-3 , 3x+3 ,… what was the answr ?</p>
<p>another quest. about some vaiables G and H on a number line that had coordinates g , h and they asked about coordinates of point p</p>
<p>there was another one with the formula , 25+n= n^2 !!!</p>
<p>But the author shifted the focus of the discussion at the start of the next paragraph, no? I know, I understood the passage (even though I had to solve the 6 minutes in under 5 minutes), but wasn’t the question specifically referring to the last line of the paragraph in which the author states that poetry is a seemingly ‘famous’ form of art. :/</p>
<p>No the author doesn’t “shift the focus” the stats are a way to describe the paradox (main idea).
Also for questions like that don’t over think. It asks you for the point of the stated sentence? The ULTIMATE purpose is not to say how popular poetry is but to explain the paradox. Hence stats are misleading</p>
<p>Yes, but the only problem I had is that the question was a line reference question and in that line the author had stated/implied that stats show that poetry is a successful form of art in America. I had difficulty in determining whether I should just take the statement on its face value or connect it with the main idea of the passage :/</p>
<p>What about the question that asked what is the purpose of the quotation marks around famous? Irony?</p>
<p>junaid: try to analyze why the author is using a certain technique. For example, she (or he) doesn’t HAVE to cite stats, but because she does she must use it to justify not undermine the overall message.
This type of question is tough and tricked me many times. (I didn’t have to say this, haha)
As for the “famous” - cant recall could you recite the question?</p>
<p>It was the second last question of the passage about American poetry. Why does the author use quotation marks around the word famous? Was it ‘to convey a sense of irony’?</p>
