<p>When I read the question, I distinctly remember thinking about how random it was and that it clearly did not fit into the paragraph. It essentially undermined the focus and weakened the conclusion in general.</p>
<p>Alihaq, my answer and the undermine are 2 DIFFERENT answers. the contradictory bit was not included in one of the answer choices.</p>
<p>I don’t think it said irrelevant either, but I still think its undermine haha.</p>
<p>So the choices are:
C. Anticlimatic
D. Undermines
?</p>
<p>I do not remember selecting an answer with the word “contradictory” or any form of it.</p>
<p>Contradictory is the undermine answer!</p>
<p>Yeah, Rock is right. </p>
<p>There was C. Anticlimatic + weak ending
D. Undermines point that author has previously stated</p>
<p>^ i just said contradictory because that’s what everyone else said it was as an option. But now that i think about i put undermine. </p>
<p>I definitely did not put anti-climactic. I know this for a fact so they were two different choices.
Ugh, you would think it’s so much harder to remember SAT questions becaues there are 5 choices but no! ACT questions are even harder because there are…4 choices? lol that’s ironic.</p>
<p>nevermind, they are the same choice.</p>
<p>I picked the one that said it weakens the paragraph. Where was the contradiction?</p>
<p>Also, I think this may have been discussed but one of the questions I had trouble on was the however/still/it one. What was the answer to it?</p>
<p>^are you talking about the canines one?
I put However, canines…it needed some form of contrast.</p>
<p>^^ the contradiction was between the added sentence and the real last sentence. It pretty much said “No one can hear the silent mystery. Although, some people have reported hearing the Aurora Borealis”. How more contradictory can that get?</p>
<p>@fresh: No, it was in the passage that discussed the aurora borealis and what not. The question came right after it said that scientists thought that the guy’s theory was incorrect.</p>
<p>The passage didn’t even discuss the “noise” of the aurora borealis from what I recall…</p>
<p>Ergh… I put just “Canines” for that one. I dont remember the question at all. I’m already at two or three wrong please don’t tell me that’s wrong too.</p>
<p>^exactly. </p>
<p>And how is that anti-climactic…i see that being more fitted to a narrative or something…</p>
<p>I agree with RocknPiano I think people started to say contradictory because I was trying to prove that the undermine answer was correct because the author contradicted himself. <— my opinion.</p>
<p>No, I think the answer was just “Canines”, I think they already discussed it.</p>
<p>@fresh: No, it was in the passage that discussed the aurora borealis and what not. The question came right after it said that scientists thought that the guy’s theory was incorrect.</p>
<p>im pretty sure it was in the last paragraph of that passage. Can anyone confirm?</p>
<p>are you sure it was just canines?
the sentence definitely needed a form of contrast. I definitely remember that.</p>
<p>Fresh, you know you can quote it rather than repost it lol. Just do:

<p>EDIT:Can anyone remember the sentence to that one?</p>
<p>I don’t remember…</p>
