<p>GUITAR GIRL SHORT

2

<p>42 was something about a taxicab it was like 5 + 4.25x or something idr</p>

3

<p>I don’t think that was the equation but it was something like that; how much will it cost to ride this taxicab for 20 miles?</p>

<p>Thanks for the list :smiley: I put both moralistic and illustrate with example. I don’t see how that could be a counterargument, since that is the main argument of the essay.</p>

4

<p>instead of moralistic i put intellectual because it talked about selectively picking books… did I read the question wrong? Was it asking about passage 1 or passage 2?</p>

5

<p>also if the answer to last question of the passage was NOT that columinsts need to be controlled by stringent journalistic standards what was?</p>

6

<p>" 19, 20, 16, 14 (63 numbers remaining when multiples are 3 are removed from all numbers 1 to 100 inclusive)"</p>

<p>17 works as well, since you still remove 4 more after the 33 multiples of three - 17, 34, 68, 85</p>

7

<p>@arrness: it was that students should think independently. the phrase “true independent thought” featured in some form in BOTH passages.</p>

8

<p>@shyams that was a different question i’m pretty sure</p>

9

<p>was it really emphatic disagreement for the windmill passage? I put guarded optimism</p>

10

<p>this is kinda random (and easy), but for the sentence completion i remember “champion” as being an answer (something about a coach being good at many different sports events). idk it was one of the easier ones, but i thought it would be useful to just add it to the list.</p>

11

<p>emphatic disagreement on the windmill. Also I put moralistic for one of the passages.</p>

12

<p>Can you explain why? Passage one Said: Windmills, you know, don’t have to be ugly. </p>

<p>And Passage two said: He thinks windmills are ugly and noisy. </p>

<p>So if you say that to someone, he will not flat out refute it but je will guardedly (is that even a word?) optimistic because its a compromise </p>

<p>especially considering the tone of the first passage.</p>

13

<p>@arrness: no it was the question “which one would both passages agree with?”
That was the one you asked for, and the answer i posted above was one of the options.</p>

14

<p>What were the questions for the “heartfelt” (censorship passage) and “complexity of gossip” (gossip passage) answers?</p>

<p>Also, was the answer for the taxi one 40 or 42? I don’t remember that being a hard Q but now I don’t remember what I put lol.</p>

15

<p>Is there consensus on “a plan previously espoused,” “she felt responsible,” “familiar but undeserved,” and “sadness/melancholy?”</p>

16

<p>The vocabulary question with the answer that says “loquacious” on the first post is “loquacity” I think. Also champion (as a verb) may have been one of the answers.</p>

<p>For the math, I think there was a question where the answer was (4, -6) because it asked for a point on f(x) that would not be on |f(x)|.</p>

17

<p>@post21398: Something like “What does actual most nearly mean in line X?”, referring to the concerns of parents/educators about protecting children from potentially harmful materials.</p>

18

<p>^Wasn’t that question “What does genuine most nearly mean…?” and the answer was “actual”? I don’t think “heartfelt” was an option for that Q.</p>

19

<p>yes it asked what genuine was, and both actual and heartfelt were answers and it is not clear which one was correct, there has been a lot of debate about that one</p>

20

<p>what do u guys think will be my total score out of 1600 if i didnt miss any math questions but left two blank and missed 5 CR questions?</p>
