<p>
I’m pretty sure it is arrive</p>
<p>It couldn’t have possibly been dismount. It said she landed with a soft thud in the rain forest. Exactly how do you dismount in to a rain forest? Unless I have Alzheimer’s, I’m pretty sure there were no horses involved in the passage.</p>

Dismount means to get off a horse or a bike.
She wasn’t getting off anything.</p>
<p>Ans is arrive</p>
<p>It was definitely arrive.</p>
<p>I don’t see why people are disputing some of these answers. Arrive and artistic weakness ARE correct.</p>
<p>Hmm other opinions on the “The truth is the story began 500 years ago” question?</p>
<p>vocab autobiographical???</p>
<p>The “500 years ago” question…</p>
<p>I don’t remember the exact answer choice, but I think it was in disagreement with/contradicted the first sentence of the passage.</p>
<p>“It began with a letter”</p>
<p>“Actually, it began 500 years ago”</p>
<p>Not the exact words, but something to that extent if I recall.</p>
<p>“Decorative style of England contrasted painters style” This is referring to the answer choice that contained the word “different”? Because I don’t remember the word “contrast”</p>
<p>What are you guys think the curve will be? Blah, I got the same number of wrong as I did on the last one, but I don’t think I’ll do as well. (-4, 750)</p>
<p>I put arrive, I was just momentarily thrown off b/c someone said “how do you arrive with a thud” :S</p>
<p>was it the entrance of the birds feet or the movement of the birds feet</p>
<p>^ Yes, whatever answer choice had different in it.</p>
<p>And the “500 years ago” is pretty much agreed on as contrasting a previous statement</p>

<p>What were the other possible answers for the arrive/dismount question? I can’t recall.</p>
<p>I think a key word to consider in the “truth began 500 years ago…” question is the word “assertion”. The answer choice said “it contradicts an <assertion> made earlier”. To me that word has a strong connotation and thus improbable in this context.</assertion></p>
<p>i put the reconsidered answer</p>
<p>again, was the autobiography passage experimental?</p>
<p>what about the vocab with “exonerated”</p>
<p>^Autobiographical was definitely a SC answer
Also SUPERFICIAL … CURSORY</p>
<p>^I don’t remember exonerate. Can you remember the sentence. Did you have experimental critical reading?</p>
<p>@ hal9000
The choice was Stigmatized/Vindicated not Exonerated</p>
