I remember putting down lifelong self-doubt cuz of the word lifelong.</p>

123

<p>@michael2013</p>

<p>I got life long regret</p>

<p>From the other thread:</p>

<p>Question asking what “solid” meant in context (talking about painting vs. dancing) options were A-substantial, B-3 dimensional? C- compact or something, D-?, E-prudent </p>

<p>I put substantial…</p>

124

<p>@michael

125

<p>I thought that in the beginning, she conveyed her self doubt about dancing being uselses.</p>

127

<p>@zzzzzz i got that one too life long self-doubt</p>

128

<p>@michael2013
Yes, but it wasn’t LIFELONG.</p>

129

<p>i did substantial too but really had no idea</p>

130

<p>It was substantial.</p>

131

<p>@Scarn
Substantial</p>

132

<p>@likeastarr
I got all of those passages, and I didn’t have a reading exp.</p>

133

<p>Yes, I can understand the lifellong argument, and I would have chosen that answer but I also did not see how the questions continued the argument. Wasnt there no argument?</p>

134

<p>Which one do you think was the hardest? Excluding the experiment ones.</p>

135

<p>once again:</p>

<p>2 known reading experimentals:

  • two passages about fluoride in water
  • something about venice</p>
136

<p>@zzzzzz: ok thanks!</p>

<p>I THINK i had cr experimental… but I can’t remember exactly what it was about.</p>

137

<p>@Solrak The dancer passage was definitely the hardest for me. Does anybody have more questions from the asteroid/space passage?</p>

138

<p>@scarn
i don’t but word on wanting more questions. thats the one i remember the least by far</p>

139

<p>it continued the argument in the beginning where she starts off with ‘what would the common man think about dancing’ and goes on for awhile</p>

140

<p>With the asteroid/space passage, the shoemaker made a comment and they asked what he was implying. Whether humans living on earth doesn’t mean anything or the solar system is not just about the astrophysical looks. I can’t remember all the options.</p>
