<p>I got momentary perplexity</p>

<p>@ RustGust pretty sure it wasn’t paradox.</p>

<p>I put momentary perplexity.</p>

<p>Also I put ferocity: Contentiaous for a fil in</p>

<p>momentary perplexity here too.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the question about the Nun?</p>

<p>@ itsinreach I got qualification too</p>

<p>@rustgust I put qualification because the other choices seemed unlikely, although i dont think i was right. I thought qualification could mean explain or something.</p>

<p>what was momentary perplexity about?
and for nun i put devoted</p>

<p>@itsinreach</p>

<p>the other choices didn’t make sense imo, it wasn’t paradox, euphemism, simile, i got qualification, forgot about the 5th choice :/</p>

<p>so i got qualification hahaha</p>

<p>@itsinreach
Might have been that lol. I didn’t get what ‘qualification’ meant, though. Wouldn’t that be like “Here’s my 2¢ on the topic, and here are a few facts for why I’m right”</p>

<p>Ok - maybe it was qualificatioN!</p>

<p>I put qualification, too. Paradox seemed like the next likely answer, but it wouldn’t only apply to one section.</p>

<p>Also, I had momentary perplexity. And also, for the one about “forbears”, was it using the supercomputer as a tool? I thought that analogy meant to motivate to understand more about a phenomenon.</p>

<p>the one about the two different views on lying. </p>

<p>The two sentences are…</p>

<p>understatements (or something)
euphemism


…</p>

<p>what was the answer</p>

<p>Answer to the last question in passage about Robinson Crusoe.
What is the quote an example of ? OMEN? choices were “simile, metaphor. etc”
b/c in the last sentence of the passage he was talking about how it was “prophetic” and he should have taken its advice (heed its warning) <– which by the way i put as one of the my answers)
ALSO, the question about how they were going to construct the story, was it that everyone would contribute their own narrative to form one story? choice (B)?</p>

<p>yes but the phrases were qualifying the terms…? qualify = make more specific</p>

<p>Slurpee, I put understatements but I guessed so idk if thats right.</p>

<p>Could someone explain the “simple tools for cracking nuts” answer? I answered “working on different tasks cooperatively”.</p>

<p>The passage described that the chimps moved into a wide open space with a bunch of nut trees, where they proceeded to smash logs onto log and root “anvils” (at which point the author likened this scene to one in a factory). I got the impression that they were hitting the trunks and roots of the trees to get the nuts to fall down…nowhere did the passage mention the cracking open of nuts, save for when the author described a human growing up isolated on an island and cracking nuts (and being happy about it).</p>

<p>I ended up putting qualification because I thought they were saying a general statement but then kind of negating that by narrowing down their argument. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I thought they were saying something like “This, but not really”</p>

<p>@ renee. The answer is DEFINTELY not working on different tasks cooperatively because the author was ranting on the whole time how humans are greater than chimps because of our ability to talk to each other AKA language. Therefore because of communication we can work together, unlike chimps. You had to INFER that they were using simple tools to crack nuts like the question said.</p>

<p>qualification… what were the other choices and what exactly was the question and what passage???</p>

<p>@ obutto It’s kind of a leap to infer that, though, even for inferring. I put cracking nuts but am starting to 2nd guess myself.</p>

<p>@ absolutezero</p>

<p>okay yeah thanks I think I put that too even though to me none of them seemed like they fit</p>
