<p>^oh that one. The consensus, it seems, is that we are not sure lol</p>
<p>Some ppl think its the Mexico/USA thing and other ppl think it’s somehting else. Personally, I said that the purpose was describe a person who influenced the Mexican mural movement or smtg along those lines.</p>
<p>How does the “creatively fertile time” answer even make any sense? Yo no entiendo. lol</p>
<p>That is what I put. I thought of the U.S. being the soil in which he could grow to be an amazing artist.</p>
<p>Well, it talks about the great variety of works that the guy made in his time in America. It never talked about his influence in Mexico, save for the last paragraph where it just said he went on to even greater success in Mexico. The majority of the passage was focusing on his time in America, not Mexico.</p>
<p>^I think you may be right then. I really can’t say anything for sure. I don’t remember.</p>
<p>Also, I really don’t understand how negotiation or enthusiasm could be potential answers to the passage about the Customer wanting to buy that radio. :)?</p>
<p>^ Creatively fertile.</p>
<p>The author did not emphasize at ALL about how he “influenced the mural movement in Mexico”. How in the world could that have been the purpose? If that was the answer, the author would have certainly focused more on the influence he had on other artists, and continued to bring back how Mexico today has some of his art/reveres him, but the author never elaborated.</p>
<p>However, on the other hand, it was almost certainly creatively fertile, as US was where he began his work and really began to blossom, thus the fertile.</p>
<p>Just my take.</p>
<p>It’s probably negotiation. Ik what that contending answer you’re talking about and there’s definitely something at the end of that answer choice that contradicts the essay. They were all pretty bad answer choices, but negotiation was the best one.</p>
<p>I dont know. I felt that the creatively fertile answer wasn’t really substantiated by the essay. Whatever, as long as I do well on the reading, I am fine.</p>
<p>So are we all hinging on a 0 curve for reading?</p>
<p>^^Hopefully!</p>
<p>And I could see both sides, I think I put negotiation over enthusiasm as well. I didn’t find the customer really trying to hide any enthusiasm.</p>
<p>freerhyme: I think but am not sure, that you are talking about the same answer choice as negotiation…</p>
<p>I still think he was trying to hide enthusiasm, but did a bad job of it.</p>
<p>Guys, what did you get for the Natural Sciences paragraph #36, it was what did it mean if an experienced astronomer made the mistake of thinking it was a plane: I put the last choice, something like he made a embarassing mistake or something.</p>
<p>^^That’s what I got!</p>
<p>Okay lol. anyone else on that?</p>
<p>I cannot remember if I put that or if I put the common mistake one.</p>
<p>…How the heck is confusing an airplane for a comet or something a common mistake for AN EXPERIENCED ASTRONOMER. Haha, that would be kind of funny if it was.</p>
<p>What were the other choices again?</p>
<p>I’m a member!</p>
<p>I think the key word in this case that within the passage “<strong>names several different theories</strong>, or even–embarassingly–just an airplane flying overhead”</p>
<p>^I thought that was pretty indicative of it being an embarrassing amateurish mistake.</p>
