422

<p>Why is it take for granted? Does anyone remember how “assume” was worded in the passage?</p>

423

<p>Jersey13, can you make sure that they are not experimental ones, because I had experimental and it’s really confusing for me… Also, do they have different versions of non-experimental sections, or are they all the same?</p>

424

<p>why the ********** would it be disloyal over irrational? It was irrational for him not to pick him up</p>

425

<p>@orange peel: Do you know what the word “seditious” means? Because that’s what Virgil described his father as.</p>

<p>OMG. You finished the list… does this mean the inveigle was definitely experimental? That would make my day! I still probably got the motels wrong, but -1 is almost definitely an 800 right?</p>

430

<p>Definition of “sedition” from Merriam-Webster:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>“disloyal” was definitely the answer.</p>

431

<p>Can someone please explain the austere/unadorned sentence completion question? I do not remember what the sentence was, but I put plain/ornate. Thanks</p>

432

<p>

</p>

<p>Even -2 is almost definitely 800 (~98% chance).</p>

433

<p>So it looks like “unaccustomed freedom” is right then, I guess. But doesn’t anyone else think it’s weird that they made an analogy to thieves rather than freed birds, as I suggested earlier…? :P</p>

434

<p>Was the passage about physics/Newton/Shakespeare/20 Questions experimental? If not, what was not mentioned as non-Newtonian? It was quantum physics, ? physics, cosmology, mathematics…</p>

435

<p>I didn’t put “inexpensive motels” for the extra example because initially they didn’t intend to go to a motel at all, so I thought that couldn’t have been a reason, so I put something to do with scenery because the dad said they will actually be able to see where they are going. I was probably wrong though, just sharing.</p>

<p>silverturtle, I was being sarcastic towards orange peel. :P</p>

438

<p>what exactly was the question for altruistic because i don’t remember that one…</p>

439

<p>WRITER’S ONE:</p>

<p>Meaning of assume? “your readers come in with a world of knowledge which you may assume, but you”</p>

<p>Something like that. I think I got it wrong. I put seize.</p>

440

<p>what was the deal with the passage about lab research? I thought that was the hardest one…</p>
