<p>anyone remember the EXCEPT question in the Whale passage?
i chose something that said motivation</p>

<p>OH for the sentence completion regarding something like “the speech was rambling and full of prose whereas her’s was ____ and comprehensive” did anyone put “Complete?” i wasnt sure about that one</p>

<p>@cortana - I had succinct for that one.</p>

<p>does any one know the answers for the video game passage?</p>

<p>^that was succinct</p>

<p>oh well there goes my question
and by the way am i the only person who put space and time for the time/space passage?
i really choked on the CR sections this time…
especially since i had 4 of them, after 2 hours into the test my mind couldn’t function</p>

<p>@Caperi and @sweetpuri</p>

<p>comprehensive means thorough so it means complete whereas succint just means brief and concise</p>

<p>@cortana431
i had succinct for that one as well</p>

<p>Not sure about questions for the video games one but if it helps anyone remember them, video games was the short 2 passage one. The first passage talked about learning life skills from roleplaying in video games while the second said that the roleplaying in video games makes people form successful virtual lives but not real lives.</p>

<p>@JBCHUN - Succinct is needed to act as the opposite of “rambling” at the start of the sentence.</p>

<p>@jbchun
what was the que that you put space and time for the answer</p>

<p>does any one remember any other SC question or answer
besides the list below?</p>

<ul>
<li>Corrupt minister: Castigated/Misconduct</li>
<li>Sentimentality: Mawkishness</li>
<li>Business: Difficulty/Limitations</li>
<li>Boy, youthful energy etc: Obstreperous</li>
<li>Synthesize/Divergent</li>
<li>Imperturbable/Ruffled</li>
<li>Austerity/??? (vs. Profligacy/???)</li>
<li>Meditation</li>
<li>Infectious</li>
</ul>

<p>One of them was either empathy or empathetic.</p>

<p>@tlstoqur7
the one that almost every other people put nighttime and daytime
i thought it was too obvious so…</p>

<ul>
<li>Small/functional for the computer chip</li>
</ul>

<p>@abcdef - I think empathy was mixed into the cave paintings passage</p>

<p>it was not small and functional because the sentence was talking about the fundamental limitations
it was like if it got too complex it would break or something</p>
