<p>^^ I think the exact term used in the passage was ‘folktales’, if that rings a bell.</p>
<p>@alihaq717: The answer with poetry did not explicitly state that poetry could no longer describe the paths. You are blending answers. The answers that talked about inability to describe paths was the one that said that observable -b-l-a-n-k- were no longer accurate.</p>
<p>fast travel is illogical. Taking the scenic high ways opposes to the interstate is always going to be a longer trip.</p>
<p>Any body know what does the steadfast about</p>
<p>^ two girls and their friendship remaining or something.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question about the bench and how it is an unnecessary concession? I do think that was my answer as well, but it would help if I could remember the question clearly.</p>
<p>can anyone explain to me why it is inexpensive motels for the example of another reason…
i thought the father didn’t want to stay in a motel in the beginning??</p>
<p>The bench answer was unnecessary concession. It was, what would the author quotes in passage 2 (the snobby one) think of the author in passage 1’s use of benches.</p>
<p>The inexpensive motel is correct because the father was frugal. All other things listed dealt with money.</p>
<p>^Thank you! But do you happen to remember a few of the other answer choices?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Did it really say he was taking the “scenic highway”? I can’t remember what he said in the beginning. </p>
<p>Anyway, my point is that “faster travel” seems to be more supported by the text (it definitely mentions that the father wants to get to their destination quicker), whereas it is unclear whether the motel they stay in is inexpensive or not (and we’re assuming that they remained on the back route), and that the father does not intend to stop at first, so he goes around trying to pick up people. So if you reworded the question, it would basically be asking, “What are the other, less sentimental reasons the father would have for taking the back route that would be a possible addition to the list in Line ___?” </p>
<p>Since motels weren’t even on the father’s mind to begin with, it’s unlikely that he’d consider them a reason for taking the back route. And since “faster travel” fits in with the requirements of “other” and “less sentimental”, though it does not directly fit with saving money, motels seems more incorrect. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It doesn’t make sense in the context of the passage, though, for the reasons that I outlined above.</p>
<p>First of all, ^ really creepy post count haha. Secondly, I think you’re just delving way too much into the matter. All the other items dealt with being cheap, it just seems totally logical that the correct answer would deal with something cheap.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol, now it shouldn’t be creepy anymore 
</p>
<p>As for the second thing - yes, I could be, but citing motels as a reason just doesn’t seem to make sense because the father did not even want to stop at first. Plus, the text does not directly say whether the motel they stayed in was “inexpensive”, whereas it definitely says the father was trying to get to the destination quicker.</p>
<p>Yeah, I understand your point. But to be honest, the way I answer the CR section is by answering the questions as they come. So, I answered the motel question before even reading the part where the got a motel.</p>
<p>PS. I love your username. However, it seems to be growing more and more unfitting for you :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I did the same thing, lol, but I read the part where it said that the dad didn’t want to stop and went around trying to pick up strangers to drive for him, so that was what did it for me. Because I deduced from that phrase that the answer could not possibly be “motels”, I decided to go with “faster travel” even though - to be honest - I still didn’t really like it as an answer. 
For those who are saying that I’m still overthinking this, I’m not going to deny that. However, remember that the reading comprehension questions are not ordered by difficulty, so there’s a chance this one just could have required more thought than people expected…</p>
<p>And for the second thing - thanks! How is it “unfitting” though? 
It was just based off the title of my favorite book in 5th grade (“The Fledgling” by Jane Langton).</p>
<p>well, a fledgling is a someone or something that is new and inexperienced. I figured you made that username when you were first starting out on this website, or something along those lines. I suppose now i’m doing the over thinking.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, I’d consider myself still relatively “new” in terms of life experiences, so I guess there’s also a philosophical reason. 
I MIGHT have to change my name if I returned to these forums as a parent or something, though… :P</p>
<p>Completely off topic. Are you a boy or a girl? I simply can not tell.</p>
<p>^ I’m female. It’s pretty hard to tell people’s gender on the internet unless they explicitly state it themselves. After seeing the Facebook College Confidential group, I had to readjust my mental images of many posters…</p>
<p>THERE’S A FACEBOOK GROUP? I my gosh. I’m going to have to check this out. How embarrassing. I can’t let real human beings know about this horrible, horrible place.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>^ </p>
<p>Whoa, I just went back to check on that group, and found out that lifegr was really a girl. That was rather unexpected…</p>
