<p>What were the experimental sections?</p>

<p>the answer to the exonarate one was stigmatzed…vindicated (this question wasn’t experimental.) the experimental CR question was 23 questions (don’t remember anything else about it.)</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the other choices for the sentence completion where the right answer was “resplendent”… or what the question was</p>

<p>iforgeteasily, so what did you end up putting for the “500 years” question.</p>

<p>And idk if it’s completely confirmed yet. But if your answer is right, why is the other one wrong?</p>

<p>^Yup, it was resplendent and not diaphanous.</p>

<p>@organism: textured, diaphanous, etc.</p>

<p>Can someone respond to my proposition that the “500 years ago” sentence does not refute an “assertion” made earlier? I strongly believe the word “assertion” makes that answer choice more improbable.</p>

<p>Edit: i put down the choice for coming back later in the passage</p>

<p>Experimental section was the one on the man with the daughter named Yo who he felt close with cus they both asked questions and the one with like the migrating animals</p>

<p>We are missing some passages entirely, a few of the short ones I believe. </p>

<p>iforgeteasily, the assertion was that the letter was written a couple winters ago or something but it was actually 500 years</p>

<p>@iforgeteasily</p>

<p>I don’t think it refuted an earlier assertion either.</p>

<p>can you really call that an “assertion”?</p>

<p>What were the other choices for the superficial/cursory question. Ugh that may be the 4th or 5th SC I have wrong. I only got 5 wrong and omitted 1 in November and I actually studied vocab this time. ■■■.</p>

<p>Another dinosaur question was something about contradicting with computer models?</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question about the comparison between “cameras” and “notebooks” in the courtroom?</p>

<p>the options were
a) average
b) ?
c) common
d) ?
e) subject to standards</p>

<p>i remember i put average…</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure i put “common” for that one</p>

<p>^
It’s common.
It said the future when cameras will be as common as notebooks.</p>

<p>@ih8artichokes</p>

<p>The answer was common.</p>

<p>@crzygmer i feel your pain. I got at most 1 wrong on the passage questions but got 3 wrong on the sentence completion… need to learn more vocab T_T</p>
