<p>oh my godd I thought that the vocab was hard cause I barely studied for it, but I guess it really was difficult this time…that makes me feel alot better haha. The passages weren’t too bad in my opinion, though. Some were pretty interesting also, which was good cause then I didn’t zone out lol.</p>

<p>Alright, left this thread for a few hours but now I’m back.</p>

<p>1) Does anyone remember the other answer choices other than “products of human culture” for one of the questions? I don’t think I chose that…</p>

<p>2) And WHYYY would it be provisional? Provisional=temporary. I remember eliminating that first thing, don’t remember what the sentence was about though.</p>

<p>3) Did anyone get alibi and exculpated from instead of complicity and exonerated of?</p>

<p>4) What were the answer choices for the question with one of the choices being “author’s impression with reality”? That’s not what I put, and I remember the answer I chose was pretty obviously correct.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question or other options for</p>

<p>savvy about nature of zoos ??</p>

<p>also for </p>

<p>products of human culture</p>

<p>I am sad. I got 3 wrong, which means 4 points off. What do you think my score would be on cr this time?</p>

<p>If it wasn’t for the dumb vocab, I would only have 3 wrong But I messed up 3 vocabs so I got 6 wrong. Anyone have a guess for what that would result in?</p>

<p>judgement of borge?
or borge’s domineering nature ?</p>

<li><p>I think its complicity and exonerate. Alibi would result in him being exculpated.</p></li>
<li><p>I put uniqueness of the situation. What I thought was that notebook was not “reality” though I can kinda see the argument for it.</p></li>

<p>@ sqdwfe13: I put “uniqueness of nature” instead of the “impression vs. reality” that everyone seems to have agreed on. I’m assuming they’re correct, though you never know… ugh, I wish I had the actual passage in front of me again so I could double check. Somebody told me Borges had also used other people as “notebooks” but for some reason I don’t recall seeing that, and I read the passage really carefully too.</p>

<p>When you say “valuable for readers make connections w/ past readings” is that the same answer choice as “you can interpret readings in infinite number of way?”</p>

<p>and was there a tone question in the independent film passage? because the compiled list on a previous page says “resigned tone” but i don’t recall that question or answer…</p>

<p>what is -3 and 3 omit??</p>

<p>Do you guys think that the ones we are missing were difficult questions? or do you think we pretty much covered all the difficult ones?</p>

<p>I think they were probably the easier questions. Nobody bothers to remember the easy ones.</p>
