<p>@Onyxfig: It’s well-founded for sure. The two authors might have dissenting opinions, but the “most environmentalists” in Passage 1 actually describes the people who would support Passage 2. Passage 1 mentioned “most environmentalists” to later debunk what they believed; Passage 2 IS one of the “most environmentalists” who wouldn’t support Passage 1. Sorry if this sounds like a maze but I am 100% positive.</p>
<p>Troy/Trojan War/Homer is NOT experimental. It’s impossible for me to get two math-grid in sections (one of which is experimental) in addition to a CR experimental (I had the Troy passage). The CR section that was experimental was the section regarding some sort of a Basset Hound.</p>
<p>passage suggest there was disagreement over her work</p>
<p>^I got something else. D: What were the other choices/is this for sure the answer?
Other than that I think I might be a -1 (idiotically changed one of the vocab answers). What is the estimated curve for CR?</p>
<p>^ How was the answer to the oscar wilde question a biography with factual errors? It was about him saying anyone could play the piano accurately but he did it with emotion</p>
<p>OH NO. Wait passage 1 is more emphatic?
I think I got balanced? Was I thinking of passage 2?!
Was this one of the choices for the answer? Eeek. D:</p>
<p>“the personal anecdote showed insight into her character” I remember nearly putting this as the answer but then changing it to something along the lines of “uses the anecdote to set up the rest of the paragraph”. The little anecdote was a way for the author to explain HOW people think as they write, not just to comment on her character.</p>
<p>“emphatic” Are you guys POSITIVE the question was on Passage 1 and not 2? I was like sure that it was asking about Passage 2 and thus put “balanced”.</p>
<p>@naomikt, a lot of people are debating about emphatic vs. balanced. People who think the question was about passage 1 answered emphatic (myself included,) while people who think the question was about passage 2 answered balanced.</p>
<p>@Jayxbx;
No he was saying that he played music with emotion, but made occasional errors.
While others played music with no errors, but with no emotion as well.
& So a beautifully written biography with some factual errors would be the right answer. 100% sure.</p>
<p>@bgrlqn That’s a different question than the one with “reflecting on nature of writing”, but I did put the “substance vs. style” answer for whichever question that was.</p>
