<p>Frenetic, you say that the opinion by majority IS a good guide yet your examples don't support that. Like the majority supported Prohibition but it turned out to be a failure. I dont get what you're saying...</p>
<p>sorry, aab123</p>
<p>That's what I put Heltahir</p>
<p>In the passage he talked about the two cultures "illuminating each other" in those lines.</p>
<p>i put observe</p>
<p>asian boy- no, because oyou cant count the whole small circle because it overlaps with the big one</p>
<p>What did you put for the question about the doctor among the Hmong culture that asked what he wanted to do initially?</p>
<p>I put: observe their cultures and see if any insights appeared</p>
<p>for the essay i put following that the opinion of the majority is a poor guide. I used the examples: columbus and the fact that no one believed the world was round and gallileo and the church believed that he was lying about the solar system. </p>
<p>For the water tanks question i got 2 ft
For the questino about the phone minutes i got (555-x+y)/y
There was some question about marbles i got 3 for that.
The triangle question was 2 </p>
<p>I think there was more than one version of the test because none of my answers had sqrt.</p>
<p>The ying-yang circle was definitely 12pi.</p>
<p>6 pi was the outside of the half-circle. then 6pi for the extension inward and the extension outward.</p>

Ok, let's figure out what the experimental section was. I had 4 Critical Reading portions:</p>
<p>1) A comparison of stories on Cloning and Genetics.
2) A fiction piece about a woman who moved to a better neighborhood.
3) A piece on rehabilitating old culture centers.
4) A comparison of stories on literary translations of past works.

<p>Number 4 is the experimental section. I had the first three but not the fourth one. In its stead, I had another writing section that was obviously the experimental section. I know this because the last question of this writing section contained a blatant error in the question.</p>
<p>Yeah, but he said that he wanted to stand between the two cultures without getting in the line of fire? He must have wanted to take a more active role than just observe them.</p>
<p>for the essay, i said that majority opinion was a poor guide.
my examples were Hitler's ascent to power (he won a popular election in 1933) and also US imperialism in the Phillipines after the Spanish-American War (widely supported by American public and Congress)</p>
<p>rats, yea, my bad</p>
<p>Hey, what was the answer for that blah blah department store ads condemned "to be" offensive or something (I'm massacring it, I know.) I thought "condemned [to be] adjective" was a diction error (answer D), what was the right answer?</p>
<p>ooh good examples icyfire.</p>
<p>"For the water tanks question i got 2 ft
For the questino about the phone minutes i got (555-x+y)/y
There was some question about marbles i got 3 for that."</p>
<p>I agree with all of those.</p>
<p>For the essay, I said the majority is unfit, and I made up three examples. (Literary example, psychological experiment, and the sherman silver purchase act -> panic of 1893.)</p>

what about that question with the guy who alienated his coworkers to advance in his profession? I think I put bombast, but i dont think that's right
[/quote]
The answer is chicanery.</p>
<p>i put that he wanted to redue hostilites and increase goodwill</p>
<p>Original goal was to get insights. He knew nothing about either culture (well, little about American doctors) and wanted to stand on the sidelines and learn.</p>
<p>I said "to be" was an error as well.</p>
<p>and THANK GOD the translation crap was experimental... that was really difficult. I kept getting stuck on what the Europeans thought</p>
<p>I'm not sure i got this experimental "translation" one...could you elaborate on the topic..maybe i'm having a memory slip</p>
