<p>There was also that question where it gave you all the scenarios…it was based on the last paragraph of the talent story. There was also that question that asked you to compare the layout of the story.</p>
<p>Wasn’t there also a question about the 10,000 hours? (2nd to last question)
(I remember putting B I think)</p>
<p>I put C, because it said nothing about the person having talent or not.</p>
<p>“freedom” means “releasing emotional burdens”</p>
<p>This is wrong. The answer is different, although I can’t remember what it was.</p>
<p>Edit: likes her grandfather because “he talked about the present”
this is wrong also. it’s because her grandfather would show more gratitude</p>
<p>raw score of 57 would be around what score?
Also, what’s 10char? I am an international living in the U.S., so I am not familiar with some terms used here.</p>
<p>some more talent reading passage questions</p>
<ul>
<li>why are walking, talking, potty training used as examples - forgot what I put</li>
<li>why are basketball players, other professions (forgot) used = broad application of a principle?</li>
</ul>
<p>
</p>
<p>around a 690</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“demonstrate that different people develop at different times” or something along those lines?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>yea, thats what i put. someone else confirm?</p>
<p>another one:</p>
<p>why Harvard researchers chose that specific group - atypical brain structure</p>
<p>@ jollybjolly I second that</p>
<p>10char means “10 characters”. he’s using it for filler because his reply is too short. replies need to be 10 or more characters</p>
<p>no, they have a specific talent @ jlewis</p>
<p>@PoonxD ohh duh lol thanks
@jlewis24 I don’t think that was the answer, but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>arghhh, I had that at first and changed it</p>
<p>I can confirm the specific talent answer.</p>
<p>@ jollybjolly</p>
<p>confirmed for both questions</p>

<p>Boy and Author
Argentinian author and author reading stories aloud
Recount unusual experience –> new understanding
happy in his subordinate role

valuable for readers make connections w/ past readings

<p>Girl
father wanted her to go on the trip “to learn about her non-English relatives”.
“freedom” means “releasing emotional burdens”
appalled = different viewpoints have equal values
likes her grandfather because “he talked about the present”
felt “disdain” for parent’s nostalgia
“loved father like she loved a horse” = elaborate on previous sentence
painful to stay because of “isolation”</p>
<p>Zoo
products of human culture
condition: state of being
spectatorship: strong disapproval
savvy about nature of zoos
curiosities on display for audience
unconcerned with debates about zoo
fun comes at the expense of real insight of animals
do not offer authentic experience of wild animals
passage 1 makes argument that passage 2 finds unpersuasive</p>
<p>For the practice passage, does anyone remember what they put for the second to last question which talked about the “10,000 hours”</p>
<p>was one of the answers to the talent passage “to demonstrate an incomplete explanation”</p>
<p>for the talent one, did anyone get “describes a debate and then offers a compromise”?</p>
<p>Also–for the uniqueness vs reality one, it’s definitely reality because the author pretty explicitely stated that the situation isn’t unique. Something like “… notebook, just like countless others.”</p>
