<p>im in the same situation. i took the test in june pretty much just to improve my reading score (i got a 660 in march), but those two passages/passage pairings have me worried</p>
<p>Ooooo I remember a question. For the oral vs. written gossip article, there was a question that was something like… Why did the author mention (insert blogger’s name here)?
One answer was like 1) to analyze the blogger’s approach 2) to view the impact of blogging. Something like that. Anyone remember?</p>
<p>Oral vs written gossip passage was insanely inane</p>
<p>wait, the answer to the triangle question was what?
a. none
b. 1 only
c. 2 only
d. 3 only
e. 1 and 3 only</p>

<p>If you’re talking about the one that said “the sum of any two sides must equal twice the third one” the answer was II only… (it is an equilateral triangle)</p>
<p>im in the same boat</p>
<p>@ blondie, how can it be equilateral, what about 8-9-10. thats not equilateral, and it couldnt be 2 only because 2 and 3 correspond with each other and since there wasnt an option for 2/3 only…</p>
<p>youre wrong, option III said EXACTLY 2 sides. it was only option II</p>
<p>@ redsoxrule, i didnt put 3, i put none. can you explain to me a trianle with sides 8-9-10. thats not equilateral…</p>
<p>Anyone know if the one with the cubes was b?
it was like how many cubes could you form from this</p>
<p>8 9 and 10 dont work because no two sides add up to each other. It has to be equilateral for Sa+Sb=2(Sc) then all sides must be equal. and that only fits for statement II</p>

<p>The 8-9-10 triangle would not work because if you read the question carefully, part of the criteria was that “the sum of ANY two sides must equal twice the third side”. In an 8-9-10 triangle, although 10 + 8 = (2)(9), 10 + 9 ≠ (2)(8) and 8 + 9 ≠ (2)(10). The only way that the sum of ANY two sides could equal twice the third side is if all three sides are equal.</p>
<p>Also, II and III did not correspond. They were actually opposites. Option II said it was an equilateral and option III said it had EXACTLY two equal sides (when an equilateral has exactly three equal sides)</p>
<p>The answer was II only.</p>
<p>i said 40 cubes, and i think its right</p>
<p>ah, i see. im so sorry. i didnt notice that. sorry. then i suppose your right.</p>

<hr>
<p>Those passages killed me.</p>
<p>@blondie, yup, same. in march my 660 was 9 wrong, and im not really confident about any of those answers. i know i got atleast 1 of the completing sentences wrong, so i guess i need some luck on my side here</p>
<p>Can anyone shed some light on the passages about censorship and the ones about written and oral gossip.</p>
<p>for the cube one, was b the correct letter for 40?</p>
<p>yes i believe so</p>
<p>Since everyone has answered the cube question like a million times, can somebody please give me the right answer to the trapezoid question. Was it 105 degrees or “it cannot be determined”?</p>
