<p>jerry, what did u put for tht one>?</p>
<p>i forgot. I think it was the answer that was the antonym of unexcited. I got that answer because I was sort of rushing and used the connotation of secrets. I did read the context and didn’t help me much, but I realize that the English expression old hat should have given me the correct answer if I knew what it mean.</p>
<p>ya i had to rush through that whole dinosaur passage, didnt even finish</p>
<p>Jerry, even if you don’t know what old hat meant, you should’ve been able to deduce the meaning. Old hats are generally boring, correct? Yes, correct. Boring things are generally unexciting, correct? Yes, correct. Old Hat = Unexciting.</p>
<p>what was the answer to the last question in the dinosaur paragraph
it was something along the lines of
“the most significant discovery of the scientists was…”</p>
<p>The answer to the last question for dinosaurs was something like: a new discovery in dinosaur movement.</p>
<p>^that’s what I got.</p>
<p>how come its not on consolidated list…?</p>
<p>Because there’s usually only one kid who actually wants to continually update the list. That one kid can’t always be online. And I don’t feel like updating it myself.</p>
<p>I’ll be that one kid. :)</p>

<p>Yea, was one of the options for that “sardonic?”</p>
<p>Yeah, that sounds familiar. I can’t recall what I put though…I do recall that 4 of the choices were all negative, though, and I picked the 5th choice.</p>
