<p>1) Suspicion: negative expectation
2) Paradise: i put the experience was something better than he’d ever experienced. I also firgured that he wasn’t actually ‘home’
3) i put forceful and direct
4) intense pleasure
5) light - trivial
6) Tone: I put deliberate nonchalance. why is it self-mocking? what was the exact choice? I didn’t put the humorous one because it was half-hearted humor which isn’t true. I put deliberate nonchalance because she was basically trying to lighten up the air and almost “saving” him from that situation.
7) laughter circled them - like a living thing
8) I put mutual oppression or something like that. why is it confrontational?
9) The transition of paragraph 1 to 2 - general to specific
10) the small grand aunt’s attitude - i don’t remember the quesiton</p>
<p>sooner is wrong.</p>
<p>I put “looking” but i am unsure, it was late on in the error id so it might be a tricky one “to look” just sounded too odd hahaha.</p>
<p>I don’t remember sooner or earlier but i think earlier is NE?</p>
<p>did the same… not sure if its right though :S</p>
<ol>
<li>And for #29 was “were” the answer? </li>
</ol>
<p>no i think “if he were” is correct… i put the error in suggested to 
not sure though</p>
<p>there was a question about the ancient egyptians which is clearly an appositive so the answer should be included in a lot of egyptians arts, cats were ****.
not sure of the phrasing though</p>
<p>qwerty: agree, I think the mistake was at ‘sooner’.</p>
<p>if josh had begun sooner, he would have succeeded in
if josh had begun earlier, he would have suceeded in</p>
<p>sooner and earlier are interchangeable according to dictionary
i think suggested to look is incorrect (which i got wrong)
and for the doctor one most people put NE</p>
<p>6) The aunt was saying how as two old ladies, one of them needs glasses while the other can’t walk far without her walking cane. it was more like self-mocking tact
7) what was the question again? i bubbled in ‘tentative response’. it was almost as if the laughter was waiting in a tentative manner to pre-empt him.
8) this one was close. but i decided on confrontational, because i rmb that the passage mentioned that they often had clashes.</p>
<p>Sooner and earlier are interchangeable in this manner:</p>
<p>Please begin sooner/earlier than scheduled.
Come a little sooner/earlier, if you can</p>
<p>Now----Sooner/earlier-------Supposed time</p>
<p>Sooner/earlier = sometime closer to ‘now’ than a presupposed time in the future.</p>
<p>But the question was more like:</p>
<p>If Josh had begun earlier,</p>
<p>Earlier—Supposed time–Now</p>
<p>Earlier = sometime older than the presupposed time and now</p>
<p>Conclusively, sooner means more of a time closer to ‘now’ but in the future, while ‘earlier’ could mean either a time in the future closer to ‘now’ or a further time in the past</p>
<p>correct hugedilemma. sooner cant be use for the past. its common sense.</p>
<p>hugedilemma i think thats a nice assumption but i still think they are interchangeable in this question.</p>
<p>So is it</p>
<p>Conflicted vs. integrated or central vs. tangential?
it’s licentious, not oppressive right?
is it frail and ailing or forceful and direct?
stable environment or cultural vacuum?
possibility or familiarity?
escalating tension or intense pleasure?
unobstructed or undecided?
gentle or trivial?
half hearted humour or self mocking?
folktale : wide variety of experiences or divided in to blah blah…(don’t really remember the choice)
painstaking endeavor or insight?
instinctive or deliberate action?</p>
<p>Conflicted vs. integrated
licentious
frail and ailing or forceful and direct not sure
possibility or familiarity?(experimental??)
intense pleasure
unobstructed
gentle
self mocking
wide variety of experiences
painstaking endeavor
instinctive or deliberate action? i put fortuitous…i think</p>
<p>121212
how about the math grid in question </p>
<p>abs(-8x+12) = 10. What is abs(x-1.5)?</p>
<p>Was the answer 1.25??
YES !!:D</p>
<p>can you explain why it’s intense pleasure?
and self mocking
and painstaking endeavor?? (the passage didn’t mention anything about putting a lot of effort in the research and stuff…)
i think it’s instinctive…because in the passage it says that the scientist understands that the butterflies migrate…but he thinks it’s not intentional…</p>
<p>gloriousambition the veracity question was aplomb i think meaning confident even under pressure</p>
<p>yea he thinks its due to the winds… meaning its fortuitous relying on fate to drive them i think</p>
<p>timmycho: *fingers crossed. that question was a little iffy for me to be honest. I was considering NE, but thought real hard before putting B (Sooner)</p>
<p>babyrummy, these are my thoughts:
1.conflicted vs integrated. i dont think it is mentioned anywhere in passage 2 that the author thought of ‘identity’ as something tangential. it can be changed and influenced yes, but it isn’t something unimportant or aside (as tangential seems to imply).
2. licentious
3. forceful and direct. As mentioned above, someone can be old and tiny (5 foot 1), but not frail and AILING. That would be extrapolating beyond the passage.
4. I cant remember what the exact question was for this.
5. Unobstructed. An ‘open’ field or something wasn’t it
6. Trivial
7. Self-mocking
8. The catalog question: I was caught between options A and B. Can’t rmb which I settled for
9. Painstaking
10. Instinctive. Wenner already said that butterflies have NO intent, so how can their actions be deliberate?</p>
<p>Intense pleasure is derived from the scene he is passing through “paradise”.
Self-mocking is because she is parrying a complement with her statement “we don left our…inside”
The fact that it took 30 years implies it was painstaking…
I forget my answer to that last one but I don’t think I put instinctive? Do you have the other answer choices?</p>
<p>i do not think its intense pleasure its escalating tension (this is related to anxiety, excitement) no where in the 1st passage is he feeling intense pleasure</p>
