<p>The passage views the singer in 'awe'
Why did the author use the words ??(the words really underscored the musicians skills). Dramatize</p>

<p>The traffic engineers gained apperciable influence.
The author uses morroco to Montana to suggest that.. Traffic lights/laws had become standardized
The analogy question. States wanting worker to hold workshops.
-The author mentions the * insert guys name here* is even better at social engineering to show.. That his skills are diverse. Answer choice has diverse
-The motorists find the new laws.. They resent the new laws
-What does the author suggest about cyclists, and walkers? They have to share space(or maybe it was lanes?) with the motorists.

<p>Thanks. Edited OP and I believe SC is almost complete.
I think we just need to fill in the photography section. There has been a lot of debate over that passage though.</p>

<p>im pretty sure the legends one was from the writing section, no? like the passages in the writing section. im too tired to remember anything lol…
b</p>

<p>Great job SAT100!
Here is another SC: REDUCTION … ELEVATION
Had to to with marine algae - a REDUCTION of algae = ELEVATION of carbon dioxide</p>

<p>Why did the author add “the only law was to “keep right””? Underscored the need for more car laws.</p>

<p>For this one I am pretty sure the answer was to highlight the lack of traffic laws.</p>

<p>Authors of passage 1 & 2 agree that technical stuff is less important.</p>

<p>Here is another SC:
This guy felt great EXCITEMENT because he was going to Brazil.
Im feeling great excitement because my CR score is looking very good! But worried
about math.</p>

<p>The only one I strongly disagree with is the bioclock “To offer a solution”…</p>

<p>That does not seem right at all.</p>

<p>@followtheybr
for the algae one that would make the most sense but i remember not seeing anything like that…in fact most of the answer choices were illogical saying smth about increasing algae would increase carbon dioxide…
and i thought the sentence was trying to say that algae helps REDUCE CO2…
so it sounded a lil awkward but i think i went something with altering? (i don’t remember) and transformation. it was like answer choice A or B</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question and all the answer choices?</p>

<p>the answer to the algae one was indisputably reduction,elevation. it was there. i checked:)</p>
