jprencipe was this question the one with one of the choices being like talking to his father when arguments came up or something to that effect? cuz if so i believe that was the answer. that was the answer for one of em but my memory fails me

<p>Yes. The "essence of maturity in a son" would have been to confront the father when disagreements came up, and settled them right then and there. Now, maturity dictates forgetting what happened, but because the question had "would have shown", it was clearly referring to the past.</p>

<p>does anybody remember one of the analogies where the answer was flexible:stiffness? i remember putting that and i was wondering if that was correct.</p>

<p>flexible means without stiffness. that's a pretty strong relationship, and I seem to remember it. I'm going to guess that was probably a correct answer for one of the analogies, but don't quote me on it.</p>

<p>Joey</p>

<p>I disagree with both of Student's responses for the Memphis passage too, that are in question. I still think that I put the right answer for the dominant question, just because I can't really remember the passage perfectly and it seemed to fit fine when I was taking it. Didn't Student order the test and answers? I guess we'll find out in a few weeks</p>

<p>Yes, I ordered the Q&A service.</p>

<p>flexible:stiffness was a correct response for one of the analogies.</p>

<p>I would make those corrections but I can't seem to edit my posts.</p>

<p>on the judges version there was a question on the QC that had a triangle inside of a triangle and it said that the base points for the smaller one was at the mid point of the nonbase sides of the larger triangle...the boxes asked which was bigger [area smaller triangle/ area larger triangle] [1/2] </p>

<p>just to make sure what was the answer?</p>

<p>i put B, because the small triangel had a base 1/2 of the larger one, and a height one half of the larger, making it's area 1/4. Column B was 1/2, so it was B.
for the x>y>0. did you guys get D?</p>

<p>Was the question looking for smallest answer? Then it was y^2/x^2</p>

<p>i don't remember y^2 and x^2. I do remember x>y>0 but i don't remember what they were comparing</p>

<p>do u guys remember putting h^2/k^2 as an answer for one of the questions
also for the first two QCs i remember putting C</p>

<p>yeah, i remember putting h2/k2. That was correct. I spent a good five minutes putting in decimals, whole numbers, negatives, EVERYTHING. I'd better not be wrong on that.</p>

<p>I got felicities meant "stories" because I recall a sentence in the intro saying that the authors would have had nothing to write about their protagonists (or something to that extent). My memory's fuzzy by now so of course that's not the exact sentence. But I remember the gist of it.</p>

<p>I originally put "strengths" and for a few minutes was going to go with that answer, but then I found the sentence that supported the other answer.</p>

<p>But it wasn't talking about the authors, but about the charachters, right? I mean, in that sentence, so why would the characters want their voices to become stories?</p>

<p>Felicities was referring to strengths. I understand how stories might fit in the general context, but in terms of the line reference, I really believe that the answer was strengths.</p>
