<p>what other passages were in the section with the trojan horse?</p>
<p>Agreed, questions were asked to raise doubt for the opposition.</p>
<p>
I also got that (I believe it was B). Another choice for that question was A which had something to do with “idyllic”.</p>
<p>anyone remember paucity dearth?</p>
<p>@Buffalo: I disagree with your “people who hate musicals” answer choice; I put discerning viewers, but thanks for linking the passage!</p>
<p>I don’t think it was either paucity or dearth because both of them mean the same thing, whereas IIRC the sentence wanted a lot of something.</p>

<p>What were the other options for this question? Was it the one about the nomads?</p>
<p>@Coup: No problem. I think you’re correct… “discerning viewers”, while too broad in my opinion, does indeed include the subset who are offended and as such has the best support. I guess I’m just bitter.</p>
<p>“some celebrate events are not verified”. Wrong. I don’t remember what was right, but I know for fact that is wrong.</p>
