<p>"1) Did they only sell wheat? I put that"
I would assume so. Because:
1. It was not important enough for the author to list Rye and whatever other grains going up. She instead said something like:"Today, rye...up 2."
2. If you read in the second column the daughter says "wheat is up", rather than any other grain.
3. Im pretty sure in the paragraph where the father said they'd be going to get the wheat to sell, he specifically said wheat (as far as i remember).</p>

<p>"Wasn't it giant squid?"
There was no large squid (other posters said this)</p>

<p>Yes Walt, it was "giant squid only" D i think.</p>

62

<p>I put wheat only for all of those reasons Big.</p>

63

<p>yep, it was definitely just wheat</p>

64

<p>I'd like more discussion about the reasons for going to college. Since it was never explicitly mentioned in the passage, how can we assume that she was anxiously anticipating college?</p>

<p>I put she had it as an option but did not know if she wanted to go.</p>

65

<p>When she takes off running towards the truck, once her father tells her that they're going to sell the wheat (the wheat that will pay for her college). This, along with the general voice of the passage, shows she's anxiously anticipating going to college.</p>

66

<p>Everyone in my test center had the same tests. I found this reading section a lot easier than the one in September.</p>

67

<p>How can you say the wheat will pay for college?</p>

68

<p>It said explicitly in the passage...</p>

<p>Something along the lines of "normally, we would wait longer to sell the wheat, but with me going to college this year, we must sell the wheat earlier". Obviously those aren't the exact words, but they convey the same message.</p>

69

<p>"'d like more discussion about the reasons for going to college. Since it was never explicitly mentioned in the passage, how can we assume that she was anxiously anticipating college?</p>

<p>I put she had it as an option but did not know if she wanted to go."</p>

<p>Im not sure about the exact quote, but i do recall specifically the word "excitement" describing how she felt when the father said that they were going to sell wheat.</p>

<p>also, what walt said.</p>

70

<p>Exactly bigtwix.</p>

71

<p>Exactly walt99:)</p>

72

<p>i put..
it consumed her
cuz it felt that at the end, she was soooo passionate & excited...</p>

<p>wait was "it consumed her" one of the answer choices</p>

73

<p>It was something like that babe, or "she was consumed by it" - something along those lines. I'm pretty sure that was the right answer.</p>

74

<p>what was the answer to the question that was like which is the least discussed thing in the following passage? I was rushing at that point and I remember putting D or J .. but I don't remember what that was ...</p>

75

<p>lets talk about the coliseum one. what did you put for the audience reaction? i think i put that one that had the word "stunned"</p>

76

<p>stunned in amazement or something like that.</p>

77

<p>Was it "stunned" or "shocked"? I thought it was shocked, but I put that answer.</p>

78

<p>stunnnnnned</p>

79

<p>one of them was silent contempt .. I did NOT pick that one
I put like "stunned amazement" or something like that</p>
