<p>No, it was experimental.</p>
<p>Do you guys think because of how ambiguous some of the writing questions were that the writing curve might not be as harsh?</p>
<p>I would say it was the anise part that the author of passage 2 disagreed with as they mentioned at the end that Turin’s theory was based around how Turin perceived things to smell.</p>
<p>I put which ever one was about Turin’s quote since the second author disliked him.</p>
<p>@Platinumxx2 I sure hope so. A lot of the writing problems were ambigious</p>
<p>Montenegro is not A; it was so wrong written. and it was had. done. @hawkace is the most knowledgable user in this thread and happens to agree with this conclusion.</p>
<p>Wait, what’s the reasoning “smell of anise?” I had a tough time remembering the question because I put “buzzing of molecules” after like 5 seconds without really thinking, it seemed kind of obvious at the time. The whole critical reading section (except plastics passage) seemed really complicated and ambiguous in comparison to blue book tests</p>
<p>@phendaphen I’m not the most knowledgeable person here. Pshh. However, I’m pretty sure that there was a better answer than A. </p>
<p>@phendaphen </p>
<p>I’m not disagreeing with you, but don’t be so overconfident about your answer choice for the Montenegro question. Simply because one person (whose intelligence you determine from his activity on this thread) concurs with you does not give more validity to your answer. It seems that you are trying to convince yourself that that is the answer.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Edit: Also, if you wish to present some justification for the answer not being “A”, feel free.</p>

<p>The answer was not buzzing, Author 2 was basically ridiculing Turin for determining the science of scent based off how things smelled to him which is subjective in of that itself. Therefore, the quote about the other scientist smelling anise was correct. That question was tricky because it tried to make you pick the sentiment echoed by Turin (the one about the buzz of molecules) but that is actually an objective observation and P2 doesn’t explicitly, or even implicitly, disagree with it.</p>
<p>@aminebz is right. Can someone tell me the whole sentence to jog my memory? I don’t quite recall the question.</p>
<p>@akrupinski My reasoning is that the author of passage 2 didn’t have a problem with the theory about the buzzing of molecules, he had a problem with the way the theory was reached. The author had a problem with Turin’s theory because he believed it was based off of how Turin perceived smells. So, I believe he would disagree with how Dyson reached his conclusion by claiming that they smelled differently (like anise).</p>
<p>For the stone soup question, what was the answer for “the job” question? Eager to participate?</p>
<p>@Kang1289 Can you be more specific, please?</p>

<p>There is a lot of discussion in this doc. Many questions being asked here have been addressed in the doc.</p>
<p>Nah Montenegro question was A. Only other one that couldve made sense was B, but it was “has” not “had” so it didnt work.</p>
<p>Also, it was definitely without had. First clause was present, so it shouldve been followed by perfect.</p>
<p>I thought that the answer was buzzing of molecules because of this quote: “Vibration theory lay dormant for the
past three decades largely because it lacks a plausible biological mechanism for converting intramolecular vibrations into neuronal activation.” Because Passage 1 seemed to be the only one taking Turin’s theory legitimately, I felt that the vibrations would cause the most controversy</p>
<p>Dang, so the answer is actually anise?</p>
<p>Was I the only one who felt like I would do really well after the first 2 sections, and then the test just got drastically harder?</p>
<p>I got Bijah and Lucy on my 2nd section so no. lol</p>
