<p>was the author mocking the biographers or was he mocking rustic circumstances? it seems it was the former since the biographers are the ones who made the mistake of incorporating these rustic stereotypes. i don’t see why the author would mock poverty??</p>

<p>^the was not experimental, cuz i had 4 math sections :)</p>

<p>So was the passage about Summer 1953 and that girl who started her tenure in some job experimental?</p>

<p>^ nice job. </p>

<p>It was stereotyped way</p>

<p>Were 26 and 43 the same question but two different answer choices
33 is a vocab answer I think.</p>

<p>what was the one that was: “i am sick and tired of being sick and tired?”</p>

<p>is the one about "grounded in " a sentence completion question or in the reading passage?</p>

<p>^ redundant…frustration</p>

<p>uh, for the art question what did u guys put for the “poetic License”
A) Her father took away liberties.
B) He did not fully understand the quote
C)The Artist and the girl did not quote him completely
D)The artist and the girl did not understand him thoroughly
I forgot E</p>

<p>What did u guys put for the picture that the guy drew?
A) He was expressing his love for her
B)She was falling in love with him.
C)She reminisced the first time she met him
D)She was entranced by his artistic skills
Again I forgot E
(These are not in order)</p>

<p>oh. there was one sentence completion with something orbiting the other.
was it core?</p>

<p>I think it’s a vocab one. If It was about the blues artist then it was definitely vocab</p>

<p>It was satellite not core</p>

<p>It was a SC, but the answer was distinct from, not grounded in.</p>

<p>It was satellite right?</p>
