**NYS June 2014 English Regents Thread**

<p>@Indian Thanks for responding. I believe the question was “What is the basis of the passage?” I’m paraphrasing there, but that’s about it. I’m sure the word basis was used. Interpretation of the word basis, by definition, would lead the test taker to choose one of the aforementioned choices. I guess theories and evidence is the correct answer, but it’s simply a bad question. </p>

<p>@Catsrock The dash is for clarification. I’m not sure if that’s the question you’re asking about. </p>

<p>I also didnt like the question about what is IT refering to and it was the prayer </p>

<p>@worriedjunior9 yeah i can see how that could get tricky. do you remember those answer choices by any chance?</p>

<p>@Indiangurl Which question? Is it the question with the prayer that @Catsrock commented about? If so, I don’t remember. Sorry. </p>

<p>@worriedjunior9 the one with the basis and imaginary friends. What were those choices?</p>

<p>@Indiangurl One choice was theories and evidence, another was parental beliefs, another was cultural beliefs, and I’m not sure what the other was. </p>

<p>What was the question for the one that the google doc says the answer is that he performed??</p>

<p>Would anybody like to compare answers for the us regents? I wrote mine down. </p>

<p>Lol, I used J Jonah Jameson from Spider-Man for my critical lens. I just thought it fit perfectly lol.</p>

<p>Also, what was the answer for the ■■■■ with the whale? It literally just left for absolutely no reason with nothing stated in the passage anywhere. I put that it was distracted, but I pretty much just completely guessed with that</p>

<p>Guys stop!! For the google docs you guys have all the answers right except the one with the Prayer If you read the sentence carefully it says the prayers was calling him from the village mosque, it seemed he could see it, sounds Blah blah blah… the question asked what does the it refer to…The answer was the village mosque </p>

<p>You can’t see a “call to prayer” thats impossible a call to prayer is something that is not a physical object to be seen by the human eye…Im preety sure the answer was the village mosque…Anyone have anything to say to disagree with me?</p>

<p>@JamesJunkers you got anything to say to that^^</p>

<p>@jamesjunkers What were the answer choices for 18 and 21?</p>
