<p>-environmentalist activism motivated by anger
-first environmental passage “accepting a trend” </p>

<p>For the quesiton like what does Passage 1 use that Passage 2 doesnt, is it scenery?
Also, for the scientist one, the thing that both passages agreed was that some scientists were political right? YES
and for the TV passage,
the question asking why it says “they paraphrase, not critize” or something like that,
is the answer reading is a heirachy? YES</p>

<p>and another question, asking about the electronic devices,
is it that communication is reverting back to times before reading? YES</p>

<p>im still pretty sure the politician question answer was dismissive, i looked up both definitions for measured as well and dismissive seems to fit better since he would’nt have been calculated to dismiss the other angry guy, oh well…</p>

<p>anyone have an idea of what the curve is like for 600’s and 700’s score range?</p>

<p>why do we only have two for-sure answers for the environmental section!!! Lets answer some of those please!</p>

<p>Wearing two hats: the scientist who promoted policy to save chimpanzees.</p>

<p>Two passages both talked about scientists getting involved with policy.</p>

<p>Situation most similar to “sponge garden” mishap: Farmers accidentally plowing over rare wildflowers.</p>

<p>ok and I also remember that the mantle question was “appearance”. what else?</p>

<p>i got “accepting a trend” for one of them also, and im fairly certain that was the answer, i dont think i can remember other ones on that passage though</p>

<p>yo duz nebody remember the answer choices for the “acceptance” vs “questioning” thing for the sponge passage? ty,</p>

<p>for innnovative daddy, the second question was a word association question and the answer was inborn</p>

<p>any more for the poly sci passage?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the wording for the question that had the answer “consistent with civics textbooks?” Because I don’t remember putting anything like that.</p>

<p>yeah I would also be curious. I think it asked if the scientists in line x of passage 1 would be consistent with the civic textbooks in passage 2. I put that they would view it as not aggressive enough but apparently not. I kind of rushed that section.</p>

<p>My memories of the test have become an amorphous blob over the past 3 days :(</p>

<p>Ah, the wording of the answer was just a bit weird. Yup, I remember the question now. Thanks. :)</p>

<p>the answer to the capitalized double short walking passage question was “both describe an activity” or something like that i thought? something that centered around the fact that they were both talking about walking. anyone know what i’m referring to?</p>

<p>yeah thats what i put
i just didn’t know how to put it in words</p>
