<p>@christineekim: I have to disagree with you on the authority answer. I recall the sentence in the passage was “Cats don’t rent, they own”, it is (often) said. So there’s no clear mention of whether it’s from an authority or not. It was this reason that I chose the metaphor one instead of your choice after I narrowed it down to 2.</p>
<p>Also, the perplexing one was the very first question: (something about) science was (perplexing), (some thing about the data or experiments that back up this perplexity).</p>
<p>christineekim, these are not my answers. I got most of them from an another thread. The question with perplexing was, I think, the first question on the first CR section which said sth like: something is perplexing because it is so hard to explain.</p>
<p>I don’t remember the one with controversy right now. </p>
<p>I’m not sure about the metaphor question but I thought lions were written of as if they were humans, so I chose the metaphor choice.</p>
<p>Mark Twain could have been interpreted like that but I thought pertinent remark was more to the point.</p>
<p>The Indian writer didn’t talk about it because it was uncomfortable but all those topics he didn’t talk about were very important.</p>
<p>The qualify answer must be correct. An alternate meaning of “qualify” is to limit.
Definition says:
make (a statement or assertion) less absolute
So the words possibly and probably made the statements less absolute.</p>
<p>oh, now I remember. Do you remember whether the question with
students flocking around the teacher to ask question for which there had not been enough time in class was in the first writing or the second?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember this W question about how (a guy name) tried to compose opera throughout his career but was not as successful as his contemporaries. What was the error?</p>
<p>Another one would be one started with ‘For those who lived in the early 1920s’ or sth like that. What’s the error?</p>
<p>btw, I think the question with superficial said something about diligence.
"Rather than being superficial quality, diligence is a critical " and then something about people getting lazy</p>
<p>@mcpheevn
I chose D for thw 1920 question, because I thought it should have been “a model of what a sitcom should be like” but my answer is prolly wrong.</p>
<p>On the question with contemporaries the error was that the guy’s works were compared to his contemporaries; his works should have been compared with contemporaries’ works.</p>
