<p>I put potent energy that was difficult to be used constructively.</p>
<p>Nah it was definitely potent energy that was difficult to use constructively
The narrator keeps on talking about how the stuff he was interested in didn’t have to do with school at all, and that he was only able to harness his considerable philosophical powers on the stuff he liked. It didn’t change for the narrator until he met that epic teacher.</p>
<p>What were the other choices on the “tanning salon” one? I don’t remember it…</p>
<p>Wasn’t there something in the philosopher going for hidden to unhidden?</p>
<p>ya corey, it was invisible/visible, fleeting/permanent, and private/public
the answer was precious/commonplace</p>
<p>tanning salon i think had used car lot, depot, and something else</p>
<p>I chose A whatever had constructive in it.
a)potent energy that was difficult to be used constructively
b) potent energy was used destructively
c)delicate energy that was used on trivial…
d) something else</p>
<p>@tbonus
Why wasn’t it B - destructively?</p>
<p>“School doesn’t seem to connect with it, and it goes off in search of some object of interest, often trivial, sometimes destructive.”</p>
<p>i looked at the passage but the word “delicate energy” and “trivial” were there so it popped out at me…</p>
<p>maybe not</p>
<p>ya but tht choice was too extreme…it said that energy would “inevitabely be wasted” on trivial pursuits</p>
<p>at mabs: maybe this, i forget
“These studies have not only documented a large
number of eels in the lower Shenandoah
River, but also have provided
information relative to the ecology
of eel movements and the effectiveness
of eel ladders.” </p>
<p>Do u remember the exact word that was asked for in context?</p>
<p>i think it was discussed earlier in this thread, it may have been “documented”
—anyone else remember this, i could have the wrong quote

<p>regarding destructive… it only talks about it with other people

<p>Under the big post of accepted answers, the one in the Rainforest that says “hard to find buyers” may be wrong.</p>
<p>The question was like:</p>
<p>Which is not a problem with the new, environmentally-made guitars?</p>
<p>Wood cracking
Glue not holding
Shortage of trees
No buyers for the new guitars</p>
<p>The no buyers one was in the passage, right by the wood and glue ones.</p>
<p>There are hurdles, he cautions, a number of them technical.
The high humidity in Manausmeans that the wood will crack
in dryer climates unless properly treated. Glue frequently doesnt
hold. These problems are slowly being resolved.
There is also a major obstacle outside the workshop: the resistance
of buyers to new woods.</p>
<p>It’s shortage of trees or whatever because there were many substitutes.</p>
<p>Ya Mike is correct…</p>
<p>theres no balsemi azame in the passage i think. i dont really remember the question but it asked for like nontraditional wood. I put Anila Canelilla. not sure though.</p>
<p>wait wat was the question for the answer that said we could use trees in other places in the Amazon</p>
<p>No, I disagree with that, the choice wasn’t “no buyers for the guitars” it was that people were skeptical about buying a guitar that used unconventional wood and it was most definitely the answer. I understand your logic with shortage of trees, but, just because they fixed the problem by finding substitutes doesn’t mean the problem never existed.</p>
<p>@Less</p>
<p>Was the exact question “Which was NOT a problem”?</p>
<p>Cause if it was, people being skeptical of the wood is a problem (and thus not the answer???)</p>
<p>I am almost positive that the passage explicity stated the reluctancy of customers to buy guitars made of unconvential woods in the fourth paragraph</p>
<p>@uf collins
I remember that too</p>
<p>So what was the exact question and answer?</p>
<p>Yes, the exact question was which of the following was not a problem. I read through that passage thoroughly and don’t recall seeing anything about customers not buying the guitars because they were unfamiliar with the type of wood.</p>
<p>ufcollins-</p>
<p>99.9 percent sure you are right and that it did explicitly state that. However, was there really an answer that stated you could get wood from other parts of the amazon?</p>
<p>Do we have a concensus on the possible answer choices? If so, what are they?</p>
<p>@Less I think I remember it</p>
