<p>nobody knows the question for this one?: </p>
<p>Argentinian author and author reading stories aloud</p>
<p>That’s the passage lmao.</p>
<p>btw, i remember the SC about roosevelt as being like: </p>
<p>Roosevelt was one of the most ____ leaders: he fiercely fought for his followers</p>
<p>not that his followers were devoted to him</p>
<p>in addition, when the author of the argentina passage claims she knows her father like a horse, that was the first real description of her father. the preceding sentence had nothing to do with her really “knowing” her father…</p>
<p>haha @newaccount, i thought so, but on the consolidated list its listed underneath “Boy and Author”</p>
<p>She said he loves her father like a horse. And the previous sentence said she loved her father.</p>
<p>The list is NOT wrong.</p>
<p>@htrat21 - the passage said that she loved her father like a horse, it wasn’t describing her father… rather, it was elaborating on the preceeding sentence which claimed that the girl loved her father</p>
<p>^ I actually think it was that his followers were devoted to him because he fought for them. But, I’m not sure.</p>
<p>i belive it said she KNEW her father with a horse, for there was a question dealing with that line, and the answer was that she was UNABLE to emphasize with her father.</p>
<p>all the passage based answers on the list are indeed correct</p>
<p>I’m 99% sure that everything on that list is right…
I disagreed with that apprehend question and it took me a long time though to see that the list was actually right :o</p>
<p>oh alright, because you say so.</p>
<p>@goldysocks - you’re probably right, i missed that one, I’m just hoping that it was the only one i missed</p>
<p>I also think htract might be correct?</p>
<p>ok so first it said the austrian girl Kate loved her father. the following sentence said she loved him like how you’d love a horse. yea, that is def elaborating</p>

<p>Girl in Austria
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 about tearfully watering plants
“loved father like she loved a horse” = elaborate on previous sentence

passage 1 makes argument that passage 2 finds unpersuasive</p>
<p>Yes, but I think those choices were on the same question?
And, it definitely had to do with her inability to empathize with him. You can’t love someone like a horse and be able to empathize with him.</p>
<p>For the “Girl in Austria” passage, can anyone confirm that there were two questions about why she wanted to go to Austria? I believe one is “to learn about her non-English relatives”, and another one is “to increase her affection for her relatives”. I think the first one is the main idea question.</p>
<p>I believe these were two separate questions - can anyone confirm?</p>
<p>^I think so.</p>
<p>iceui2, i believe you are correct. also, the rachel carson silent spring passage, what were the other choices besides the “watershed” answer. thanks guys</p>
