15) unnerved…rude

17) Sequestered…was there a second blank?</p>

<p>@shibalsat, how do you know that was the experimental section?</p>

<p>And can anyone confirm that the one about: “A dark crease to show the dainty fold of a leaf. The flower’s flaws—its unevenness; the unnatural cast of attempted shading—needle her.” which asked about the best meaning for cast? I put “tinge” because it mostly focused on the shading and the “tinge” of the stem, not as what other people previously mentioned as the “bent” shape of the flower. I don’t even see an explicit reference to the proper shape at all, just an “unevenness” due to “attempted shading”</p>

<p>Is this cast one experimental… because I do not remember that question at all. What passage was it from?</p>

<p>@theshadowunicorn: I don’t think we can reach a general consensus on that question.</p>

<p>For all we know, it could be stamp too (found this definition off dictionary.com; a peculiar or distinctive impression or mark).</p>

<p>Oh yes I remember now. I put stamp.</p>

<p>for 15, it was unnerved and rude.
for 6, it was only confound.
you can add 16) renegade, 17) merciful(?), transgress</p>

<p>^It was leniency…transgression.</p>

<p>does anyone remember something…sequester?</p>

<p>@fmpak93: Yes, sequestered was one of the answers. Something about a disease and a doctor and her team trying to prevent the spread of it.</p>

<p>Was the bat one experimental? And what were the other choices for the flamingo question?</p>

<p>Yo is flexible for sure the answer for the sentence completion about the woman who was uncompromising? I also had reciprocity.</p>

<p>The exp wasn’t the one about the piano and the environment. I had math exp and both of those passages. I actually laughed at the global warming second passage because I just finished the book that the passage is from. It’s Cool It by Bjorn Lomborg. This is the second time I have recognized a passage from a book I’ve read…</p>

<p>Echolocation is not experimental.</p>

<p>The flamingo question was the answer with color in it. Definitely. 100% positive.</p>

<p>The bat one isn’t experimental either. I also had that passage.</p>
