<p>uh, its bolster
read your sentence</p>
<p>the “but” portion is the important thing. I was going to put deprecate, but realized that the person’s intention originally was to strengthen the defendent, BUT accidentally strengthened the opponent’s view. :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t see how “stealthy progress” fits.</p>
<p>Ugh. For some reason, I did incredibly badly on CR.
If everything that’s been said is correct, I’m at -5.
And CR is usually my best section. On practice tests, I’ve never scored lower than 760.</p>
<p>■■■.</p>
<p>oh yeah precedent i remember that.</p>
<p>also i don’t remember for the question asking about repetition a choice that said “outcome of a situation” b/c if that was there I would have picked it. are you sure its not “likelihood of an encounter”? The other only plausible choice would be uncertainty of a situation</p>
<p>Looking at the answers here, I think I got 3 or 4 wrong. Any ideas how that might translate to scores? (My first -and almost definitely last- time taking the SAT)</p>
<p>unaccustomed freedom is also way to obvious according to “sat logic” lol</p>
<p>I’m certain it was stealthy progressive. Can someone confirm the answer</p>
<p>wasn’t impromptu one of the sent. comp. word??</p>
<p>Was the expansion answer letter E?</p>

<p>I still do not see how it fits. It it were stealthy progress, why would the father be wildly exuberant?</p>
<p>@suhstacy</p>
<p>I remember impromptu.</p>
<p>Do you guys remember something about incessant? I think it was the way these scientists were thinking… their thought was incessant (or I may be wrong? 
)</p>
<p>@ silverturtle: My reasoning was that the miles they had traveled just silently crept up on them, and then before they knew it they had traveled “miles and miles”. This also fits with the notion of them being “wildly exuberant” AND the cars to cards analogy, because in their happiness/father’s anecdotes/jokes they lost track of how far they’d gone.</p>
<p>Oh, what about the question about the meaning of the word “assume”? Was it seize or take for granted?</p>
<p>Jersey, add impromptu to the list. Only 2 more!</p>
<p>@doughboy: Yes, incessant was an answer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Was this in the text? </p>
<p>It just seems that “unaccustomed freedom” works infinitely better with “wild exuberance” than does “stealthy progress.”</p>
<p>I FAILED * Cries</p>
<p>I agree with silverturtle. It was unaccustomed freedom.</p>
<p>doughboy, incessant was definitely correct.</p>
<p>@Kean. Your mentioning the one about that guy and his dad–that 50s short story. I put that answer down about the whole stealth thing.</p>
