<p>i agree with everything except helping children with their interests which i explained in an earlier post would comment again but getting too old to be hitting these small keypads on an iphone …all those years playing online poker and wow literally make my hands twitch and shake tell ya youngsters dont *** with that new game LoL and no thats not laughing out loud lol</p>
<p>Don’t you think in spice passage “pivotal to world success” was worded a bit differently? I remember choosing something along the lines of it. Something like playing a major role in development of world. Was that a choice or is my brain goin’ nuts due to the alcohol?
Can you please list the other choices of this question and the other novelty question in sphinx if you remember? I will be extremely obliged. I remember one of them: It was sth like it had tragic effects. Thx</p>
<p>Damn me. maybe I should just go to sleep.</p>
<p>also not sure about the one about pivotal to world success. will think anout that one when sober but sounds incorrect for some reason, tho i may be wrong</p>
<p>whats up with that danny. were both apparently inebriated but as soon as we smell sth even remotely wrong or out of whack, were both on it like sniffing hounds hahaha cause i swear i made that last post w/o reading yours</p>
<p>In telescope passage I put “adjust power” too and in higher education passage I put “solely” instead of “fundamentally”</p>
<p>And in spice passage there is a parenthesis and it seems like an irony</p>
<p>Okay. OG Kush put my head back into perspective. Yes, the answer, I believe, was something along the lines of “pivotal to world success,” although from what I recall, the wording was not such. Something about spice being important. </p>
<p>Other than that, I still beg to differ with the answer about P2 arguing about helping children with their interests, as the passage was more about inculcating moral and civic values into children, no?</p>
<p>^Yeah, I agree. Mmerci: Your all answers-except adjusting power-( written in ur last 2 posts) are wrong.
PS: Yeah, we do have a lot of things common, donnykim! I have exactly same personality traits. (I love debating!)</p>
<p>@Danny you put ironic in the spice one too?</p>
<p>Naah, it was, undoubtedly, dramatic. I wanted to say that I agree with donnykim about pivotal question. and the answer to another question is “fundamentally”.</p>
<p>Hi, for the spice trade question, I recall another option as “historically important”? I put that as the passage described events in history and illustrated the importance of spice in those events.</p>
<p>Yes fundamentally
is correct and spice
was pivotal or important in a historical context. there you go</p>

<p>67/67</p>
<p>What question is 65. a response to?</p>
<p>I think you’ve messed up two different questions. “simply” means “solely”, and another one is “fundamentally”</p>
<p>Guys I looked “simply” up in Webster:</p>
<p>1 a : without ambiguity : clearly
b : without embellishment : plainly
c : directly, candidly
2 a : solely, merely <eats simply="" to="" keep="" alive=""> <simply cleaned="" it="" up="" and="" went="" to="" bed="" ="" garrison="" keillor="">
b : really, literally <the concert="" was="" simply="" marvelous=""> often used as an intensive <simply crawling="" with="" geniuses="" ="" f.="" scott="" fitzgerald="">
Examples
uninterested in food, she eats simply to keep alive
it’s simply smart to shop around before buying an item
First use: 14th century
Synonyms: alone, exclusively, just, only, purely, solely</simply></the></simply></eats></p>
<p>So I guess solely is probably the correct answer right?</p>
<p>Naah, solely just didn’t fit in context.–Mmerci</p>
<p>Kohsuan: Nope they were in the same question and the answer is fundamentally.</p>
<p>Higdroid: it was a question in spice short paragraph.</p>
<p>donnykim: Can you please tell me the question and other options of 62, 63, and 66?
LOL I don’t remember quite a bit of them. Maybe my memory is fading.</p>
<p>Sphinx
- Photographs take away from the novelty. (Mark Twain at least had a photo of sphinx)
- The professor in line 52 is pompous and stuffy.
- Evocative for sphinx.
- Atypical (The 19th century famous painter was very scupulous, yet he mistook the direction of sun set in his painting of the sphinx)
- Proper is close to correct.
- Understandably unreliable.
- Sphinx’s stare holds.</p>
<p>Any questions?</p>
<p>Telescope Passage:
- Comparing astronomers to musicians: share similar experiences as novices.
- Simile between sky and lens: there is a perfect spot for viewing.
- Reflective and informative.
- Passage was mainly about an experience or development in a time of his life
- Ephemeral but powerful.
- In the passage involving telescopes, the author describes the following situation: “Once I received my new high-powered telescope, I could see the golden nebulas, Ursula major, hot and cold gases in distant galaxies, etc. These sights ballooned my system of what is plausible.” The author felt about seeing the universe through his new telescope is that he is hard to believe. (NOT difficult to take in)
- See planets clear
- Assertion followed by comical anecdote.
- Adjust the power insead of using maxium power</p>
<p>Higher education (Pared Passages)
- Idealistic
- Realistic (not uninformed)

- Encourage students with their interests
- Snide
- Goals of college education
- lose sight of what is important

- Similar thing in both passages- faculty’s role and coursework can lead to good civil character.
- Hit means “reached”</p>
