<p>I got it from the College Board Online Course.</p>
<p>I chose (C) melancholy because I POE’d A, B, D, and E, but for your sake, since you chose E, I will try to explain to the best of my ability why it is not E. I hope that you can see that A, B, and D cannot be the answers, and, therefore, you are left with C and E. So my question to you is, after reading the passage what emotion did you feel? I felt misery and dread. The one thing I did NOT feel was that the author was detached from the story. In fact, I thought he was very very into the topic, and was expressing what he felt very well. Therefore, I chose C as the answer.</p>

<p>Makes sense :D! </p>
<p>Thanks! Here’s another one ;): </p>
<p>As yet, not one of these large planets — some of which<br>
are many times the mass of Jupiter — has actually been 50
seen through a telescope; we know about them indirectly
through the gravitational effects they exert on their parent
stars. </p>
<p>The reasoning process presented in lines 49-53<br>
(“As . . . stars”) is best described as </p>
<p>(A) inference based on an untested theory
(B) extrapolation from similar situations
(C) analysis of a single case by multiple observers
(D) hypothesis confirmed by direct observation
(E) comparison of theory with physical evidence</p>
<p>B. I’m 100% sure!</p>
<p>^Yes. Why?</p>
<p>Please explain</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Despite the fact that none of these large planets have been seen directly, we know them indirectly through effects they hold on their parent stars.
–> this is basically the exact definition of extrapolate.</p>
<p>With the given info of the smaller planets, which can be observed directly, we can speculate on the large planets.</p>
<p>Just finished taking a CR section from the 2006 PSAT Form W. I missed 1 question which was a SC. See if you guys can do it. :)</p>
<ol>
<li>Although the poet’s status as a modernist master is by now all but _<strong><em>, her unsavory politics continue to </em></strong> many who study her works today.</li>
</ol>
<p>A. canonical . . berate
B. incontrovertible . . trouble
C. undeclared . . instigate
D. hypothetical . . polarize
E. inconclusive . . provoke</p>
<p>^ is it B???</p>
<p>My guess is B as well.</p>
<p>yes, it is B. Could you please explain why? I chose D. I think that the “is by now all but” screwed me over, and messed my thinking up. Could you explain what that phrase actually means?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“all but” = almost. </p>
<p>He is all but perfect. Translation: he is almost perfect.
She is all but the perfect girlfriend. Translation: She is almost a perfect girlfriend.
The poet’s status as a modernist master is all but incontrovertible. Translation: her status is almost indisputable. </p>

<p>In an art class, there were just enough staples, rulers and glue bottles so that every 2 students had to share a staple, every 3 students had to share a ruler, and every 4 students had to share a glue bottle. If the sum of the number of staplers, rulers, and glue bottles used by the class was 65, how many students were in the class?</p>
<p>Is the answer 60?</p>
<p>^ 22 students?</p>
<p>^ Art Problem</p>
<p>2X3X4 = 24 common factor of student
24/2 = 12 staples used per 24 students
24/3= 8 rulers used per 24 students
24/4= 6 glue bottles used per 24 students </p>
<p>12+8+6= 26 total supplies used for 24 students</p>
<p>26X2= 56 supplies used</p>
<p>65-52= 13 more supplies left before we hit the magic number</p>
<p>12 students more/2 = 6 staples
12/3= 4 rules
12/4= 3 glues</p>
<p>52+6+4+3= 65 MAGIC NUMBER</p>
<p>So…</p>
<p>24X2 + 12 = 60 Students total!</p>
<p>can an epidemic only be associated with diseases, such as the swine flu, or can it be associated with anything that is a widespread occurrence. Also, can pandemic only be used for diseases that are geographically widespread, or can an ideology be pandemic?</p>
<p>That was a completely different approach than mine.</p>
<p>I just did
x/2 + x/3 + x/4 = 65
Where x is the number of students.</p>
<p>And yes, I have heard epidemic/pandemic to mean a widespread problem.</p>
<p>^I think epidemic can transcend diseases and be used metaphorically with anything else…but pandemic is usually only used when referring to a disease that spreads throughout a huge region.</p>
<p>60 is the correct answer for the art problem, and guys, the dictionary can help :): </p>
