<p>@MadBeast Wasn’t it her aunt? Either way I said that she wanted the girl to know her heritage. The two answer choices about not liking China or America were too similar for me to pick one. Plus, the passage never indicated that she did not like one of them; it said she just discussed the old and new times.</p>

I said the great aunt was aware of the life around her. I think it was A.</p>
<p>Same passage, what did the great aunt’s recipe for making zhongzi showed about her? I said she was detailed, but I thought experimental could be it too.</p>
<p>didn’t it say which of these words does NOT describe the chest?</p>
<p>what was the last sc in one section about a dinosaur skelton?</p>
<p>@MadBeast I put reflective as she grew older (or something like that). There was no indication that the aunt wanted her to know her heritage. She was just discussing.</p>
<p>@Gossamer
I got reflective too.</p>
<p>I said experimental for the zhongzi one, but it could really be either one.</p>
<p>I said sinister didn’t describe the chest. I thought vital was implied because she said something like “the chest was everything” or “the chest had everything”.</p>
<p>I said the zhongzi making showed that she was attentive to detail. It mentioned her “watchful eye”.</p>
<p>I had anomalous for the dinosaur skeleton one.</p>
<p>I also said the great aunt was aware of the life around her. I think the zhongzi one was experimental</p>
<p>@gossamer it was definetly detailed the passage specifically stated she attentively watched us make the zhongzi</p>
<p>@SAT master
Yes, that is why I put regal as the thing that did NOT fit, nothing that made it seem like the thing was noble or royal</p>
<p>@novelidea
Anomalous</p>
<p>I put attentive for the zhongzi one because she mentioned the aunt CAREFULLY payed attention to how she cooked and graded her.</p>
<p>damn. I hope we get a good curve for this one</p>
<p>@MadBeast
But the question wasn’t referring to that part in the passage? I am pretty sure the lines were before when the author noted how careful her aunt is.</p>
<p>The passage said that the writer and her mom were the ones making the zhongzi, and the later recipes the great aunt brought, so I assumed the great aunt already knew how to make them. It said she observed their work carefully = detailed.
But then if she already knew how to make them (detailed), why did she need a recipe? But if she didn’t know how to make them (experimental), why wouldn’t she join in making them?
ugh</p>
<p>drac it was nobal/royal because the chest was described between two famous art works it had jade a highly royal stone for the asian culture and tiger is represented as strength and was considered equivalent to the king in china</p>
<p>yeah i also had regal for that one</p>
<p>I don’t see how dark immediately signals that something is sinister. The chest’s color was simply dark. Don’t see how that really makes it sinister.</p>
<p>And it also said it was “dark and gleaming” I believe. </p>
<p>Also it said it “held court” with the lavish furniture so it must be regal, imposing.</p>
<p>Skeptical or outraged?</p>
<p>@Lappith
I got skeptical</p>
<p>it is not experimental because she wasn’t experimenting she was teaching the kid and mom how to make zhongzi for culture. To make zhongzi is very important for chinese women during when China had kings. Also the process they used to make zhongzi wasn’t wierd, it was how any person would make one</p>
<p>@ Madbeast</p>
<p>Yeah, but the question about the chest asks for NOT. You say yourself it was described as royal, so that is not the answer.</p>
