<p>Reading Questions</p>

<p>Father’s face was tender
Writer’s motto comes off as arrogant
Something wistfulness
Cards to cards - Continuous Sequence
Writing a novel Passage 1 was didactic
Father’s comparison to cowboy - Wild exuberance
Father refusal to pick up soldier - Disloyal
Example of another reason - Inexpensive motel
Father isn’t fair - Right
True writers - Genuine writers
Thieves analogy - Unaccustomed freedom</p>

<p>I don’t even remember what I put for the deer question. I just hope my CR score is at least higher than what it was last time… (690)</p>

<p>I got irrational for the “soldier one”-- because the question asked what was the boy’s feeling about the father refusing to ride with servicemen was, not what his reaction to his father’s refusal to pick up the soldier was.</p>

<p>^ Aren’t both the same thing? :P</p>

<p>^ He felt that his father was seditious</p>

<p>the diction used in talking about the servicemen was stuff like “seditious” “patriotic” so the answer was disloyal</p>

<p>Keep C/Ping this so that repetitive questions don’t pop up</p>

<p>Hang on, the extinction of plants was decreasing because of…? Not sure why, can someone help? :)</p>

<p>I dont agree with the answer for father’s refusal.</p>

<p>Disloyal just doesnt make any sense becuase the father is not being disloyal to anyone. He told his son look for people that they can ride with and then when he skipped a bunch of people, his son clearly says “Why are you not giving a ride to people, it is wrong to SLOW DOWN when you are not going to give them a ride!” His son clearly does not understand why his father is doing that until his father says he wants to be with his son without others. At first his son view his action as irrational, which means does not make any sense. </p>

<p>I am very sure disloyal is a distractor becuase soldiers and all that, but I am also very sure that the answer is not disloyal because no one is being disloyal to anyone and the content is talking nothing about disloyalness.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what the author of passage one would respond to passage two was it you have to maintain reader’s interest or you have to respond totheir requests</p>

<p>They faced extinction because they were so palatable. I remember answering this now :D</p>

<p>^Then the extinction of plants would be INCREASING, not DECREASING like the sentence said. I don’t remember this question well.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The son specifically said he felt his father’s denying the soldier a ride was seditious. Therefore disloyal.</p>

<p>nono… the sentence about plants did not have the word “extinction” you guys are getting that mixed up with the codfish sentence. the one about plants went something like this: </p>

<p>Deer overbrowsing is decreasing the ____ of plants because the only species that are left are ones that regrow quickly or are _____ to the deers…</p>

<p>so I think the answer was Diversity/unpalatable…</p>

<p>ALSO, what was the sentence for the debilitate/disheartening?</p>

<p>I put maintain the reader’s interest.</p>

<p>The answer was diversity/unpalatable</p>
