<p>for the butler one i thought it was disloyalty when he turned his back…because that’s the first meaning you obtain from the expression “back turned”. + he sat there for 2 hours not able to write anything, so even if he was eager…i mean…he wasnt writing anything</p>

<p>he was just contempating whatever he did wrong…because he repeated the quote to himself</p>

<p>Idk…wouldnt collegeboard make it a little more tricky…he ran to his desk, but why was it after he turned his back. Could have two meanings? Unless I’m remembering the context of the passage incorrectly…but I don’t think I am</p>

682

<p>IMPORTANT: Does anyone remember the other possible answer for the “Succinct” problem?!</p>

685

<p>l0rdie: I think sinuous, or something like that? Or am I thinking of a different question?</p>

686

<p>Any ideas on the point curve for this?</p>

687

<p>OH SHIII it finally hits me. WHY EAGERNESS IS CORRECT:
so, i guess i didnt even understand that part, but got the answer right. the Crusoe quote was all about doing something without thinking twice of your qualifications and skills. A few lines before the back-turning line, the butler had mentioned that he was being modest in his words, telling Franklin that he wasn’t good enough to write a full story, even though he was thinking to himself, man i can rape this shiii. as soon as Franklin turned around, he went to work, EAGERLY, to prove to himself that he can do it. then it turned out that he couldnt.</p>

<p>no one wants to discuss the artist mask lady passage…:frowning: lol</p>

691

<p>Does anyone remember questions for
commonplace/startling
and
scope and outcome</p>

692

<p>commonplace/startling was about how it was commonplace for politicians to argue but it was startling for some other people to do the same</p>

<p>i have no idea what scope and out come was</p>

693

<p>scope and outcome.
passage 2’s author for the stheory passages. He noted that there were 10k’s of scientists working on Stheory yet no real evidence was shown; huge scale, no outcome.</p>

<p>commonplace/startling.
while being rambunctious (i forget the actual verb/gerund here) is commonplace in political protests, it was startling in the geology debate something.</p>

694

<p>anyone remember “myopic” or was that an experimental?</p>

695

<p>experimental</p>

696

<p>Ahh, thanks for providing those questions guys. I got both of those right, thank gosh.</p>

697

<p>ya got scope and outcome</p>

698

<p>what was the context for the “scope/outcome” one?</p>

699

<p>artist mask/lady… from what i remember, there was a question about a mask and a frame and i think i put E. saying that they contradict each other or something…</p>

<p>another question was asking about the relationship between her colors/jewels and her self expression…i put something along the lines of “she added more colors and jewels as she grew old and fragile”</p>
