<p>That google books book is missing 4/5 of the book. </p>

<p>But yeah you’re right sauternity, the SAT passage wasn’t actually written by Guthrie, woops.</p>

588

<p>does anyone remember the vocab that should have been constitute/differentiate?</p>

589

<p>just the really easy SC ones that we neglected to dispute and other minor stuff prolly</p>

590

<p>there are about 9 vocab questions that are so easy i really dont remember the actual questions… maybe we could all just pitch in and figure out all the vocab questions… how many are there anyway???</p>

<p>but i think most importantly is the cave passage… i think time/space and whales is pretty good - it was one of the easier sections… the black concert was pretty much set in stone though</p>

591

<p>sauternety - vocab should be 8+6+5=19, which I think we are still missing 7 I think…</p>

592

<p>i remember there was SC
about
a girl remains outspoken while most people remain silent??</p>

593

<p>tls - yeah do we choose sth. and outspoken?</p>

594

<p>vocab i remember:</p>

<p>constitute/differentiate
tenuous (i’m so ****ed i missed this one, i changed it at the last second because when i glanced back at it i misread it as tedious)
platitude? (wasn’t the answer but it was an option)</p>

<p>the outspoken one was firm/outspokenness</p>

595

<p>i believe it was firm and outspoken</p>

596

<p>got it i just put it on the list.</p>

<p>STILL VERY EAGERLY AWAITING THE ACCOMPLISHED ARTISTS THING</p>
