<p>did anybody put sometihng about independent writers and blah in government and journalism section
<p>yes, illicit was an answer.</p>
<p>“uses the anecdote to set up the rest of the paragraph”
I vote for this one.</p>
<p>Can anyone explain definitively why triumphant is wrong?</p>
<p>For short passage about education, was the answer ‘conceded’?</p>
<p>was retiring an answer in one of the SC that had two blanks? I think the second word was penchant</p>
<p>just thought of another trojan question-- it was about what thusystaenus or whatever said-- choice (E) was something about “national pride”. was that the answer?</p>
<p>I put that all of them shied away from ornate language.
^I think I put this one too. The unique one seemed wrong to me because afterwards it said that she was different in her approach than the other writers. :)) I was wondering about the unique one because I felt that wasn’t what I put.</p>
<p>the personal anecdote showed insight into her character OR “uses the anecdote to set up the rest of the paragraph”
^anyone remember more specific details for this question?? I don’t remember putting either of those answers. :(( Or maybe the uses the anecdote to set up the rest of the paragraph is phrased wrongly? I know I didn’t put personal anecdote showed insight…</p>
<p>wasnt the one with the authors how the other authors influenced kael?</p>
<p>It was definitely resolute for the SC question.
Also, this might have been on the experimental, but did anyone else get ‘endearing’ as one of the answers for a tone question on one of the short passages?</p>
<p>Ecletic.
Resolute. </p>
<p>So the anecdote I put that it was an introductory to her opinion on writing or whatever. Is that right? </p>
<p>And also *** is the elephants question? I don’t remember that?</p>
<p>“uses the anecdote to set up the rest of the paragraph”
It was something like how the anecdote related to the author’s views on writing, maybe? I don’t really remember.</p>
<p>The unique one is wrong because the author is overwhelmingly admiring of Kael (sp?). Thus, the author wouldn’t want to insinuate that Kael is just the same as any other critic. She was making the point about Kael’s writing (fuzz) being vibrant and compelling, about her slang being fresh or whatever–she took the “ornate=bad” to a whole new level.</p>
<p>for the cheetah vs. mammoth one, why couldn’t it be that they’re both good targets for rewilding?</p>
<p>also, for the trojan passage, why would the answer be it probably DID occur? doesn’t that contradict the entire point of the passage?</p>
<p>@Kim: I think instead of independent writers that the correct answer was something along the lines of that it would damage the democratic government. The passage mentioned how the “government put its thumbs on the scale.”</p>
<p>@Quomodo: Can you tell me why you feel triumphant is correct? I previously explained why I felt resolute was the correct answer, but I don’t feel that he TRIUMPHED over anything. He merely summarizes his reflection on writing in short, concise sentences to emphasize his point. If you want to say that his tone was triumphant, what has he achieved victory over?</p>
<p>@Austrian: Thucydides conveyed that the imbalance of power worked to the benefit of some, at the expense of others.</p>
<p>thriving was with harsh. 100 black rhinos was the sentence.</p>
<p>the cheetah/elephant question’s answer is “extinct” because it referred to the “AMERICAN cheetah,” not the cheetah in Africa.</p>
<p>The unique one is wrong because the author is overwhelmingly admiring of Kael (sp?). Thus, the author wouldn’t want to insinuate that Kael is just the same as any other critic. She was making the point about Kael’s writing (fuzz) being vibrant and compelling, about her slang being fresh or whatever–she took the “ornate=bad” to a whole new level.
^ YES. You just said what I was thinking way better, hahahaha.</p>
<p>And gah oh well, I can’t remember what I put for the one about the personal anecdote. I’ll just assume I got it wrong and say -3.</p>
<p>@coupedefoudre: why was it imbalance of power worked to the benefit of some, at the expense of others?? thanks!!</p>
<p>Why is the “less ornate” answer choice better than “she was not unique”…</p>
<p>wasnt the ornate one how kael used the authors for inspiration </p>
<p>ARE THESE THE SAME ANSWER?</p>
<p>@FrozenSky - yes, but doesn’t that make the extinct species good targets to replace so that the ecosystem doesn’t get, for lack of better words, out of whack?</p>
<p>I still refuse to believe that cheetahs are extinct in America lolol</p>
