<p>Why is it: Passage 1 criticizes a system which passage 2 regards a misconception. anyone want to confirm that is the right answer?</p>
<p>For the Sci-fi one I put unimaginative instead of unreasonable expectations. I fought with that one a bit and saw no evidence for unreasonable expectations, only that the public lost interest in once-interesting age of technology being invented at a staggering pace.</p>
<p>GoodJobBro, in the passage it said utopian which suggested that they expected groundbreaking technology</p>
<p>Will Someone please tell me the question for the jovial one?
Thanks</p>
<p>So which short passages were experimental?</p>
<p>Was it the si-fi One?
Or the neatness or Cole passage?</p>
<p>@Chillbro I think it was something like “The worker was so ___ that he was always fun to be around and he was very contagious.” something like that.</p>
<p>@tlsgur1 None of those were experimental.</p>
<p>@Monepo: do you remember what the other choices were? I seriously don’t remember that question at all lol</p>
<p>I knOw literary one was experimental short passage but I don’t remember the other one</p>

<p>“Shift in popular culture” what was the question?</p>
<p>"</p>
<p>i agree with all the passage questions, but i seem to have forgotten all my sentecne completion answers. can someone help me out with the choices for each of these:
- welcome…diminished
2.derisive…charcterization
thanks. i hope -2 still gets 800!</p>
<p>What do the reformers think of the electorate college: believe that it will not represent the majority since candidates go for battleground states</p>
<p>For this question (or at least I think it was this question), I remember getting my answer directly from the second passage but I don’t remember if this was my answer or if I am confusing different questions. Was there another problem where the answer had to do with getting widespread informed voters or something? Can someone please make this clear?</p>
<p>what would a -7 or -9 be? (dont remember exactly which answer i put for 2 questions)</p>

<p>Remember that when we say -x, we mean that’s how many points off we are, not how many incorrect. e.g. 2 incorrect = -2, but 3 incorrect = -4</p>
<p>Were there a lot of “Direct Hits words” in this test?</p>
<p>ttttt</p>
<p>dh did pretty well but IMO, powerscore + dh will give you atleast 17/19.</p>
<p>plus powerscore is free online.</p>
