<p>anyone remember the other answer choices for “downplay…magnitude”?</p>

<p>

Not it didn’t. It was pretty clear actually.</p>

<p>Btw well founded is the answer for the passage on rewilding when it says what would the author of passage two say to the people (I forge exactly what they were) in passage 1 who were basically against rewilding. So the author would support their disagreement and say the argument was well founded</p>

<p>

The author did not just win a battle or victory (triumphant). The author was bold and purposeful, resolute. The answer was resolute and I believe it was confirmed.</p>

<p>I put resolute because of the italics for “is” which made him seem very self assured about his belief</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s ranging from mid 600s to low 700s.</p>

<p>yes, te mountain was an Antidote to his anger</p>

<p>-6 could possibly be mid 600s?! Holy crap that’d be harsh.</p>

<p>Harembee 2-3 wrong and 2-3 omitted what is my score??</p>

<p>mid 600s for -6 would be extremely harsh</p>

<p>Yeah that’s what i got sometimes on practice tests. But it’s most likely that it’s around 680s-720 because I think the curve is moderate this time.</p>

<p>No, it wasn’t antidote because the road would make him have emotions. It was a stimulant. It said something along the lines of “his feelings would emerge”.</p>

<p>

That’s anywhere from 720 - 780a</p>

<p>-6 is going to be over 700 for this test not mid 600’s.</p>

<p>^Yes, I believe so. Probably ~730

That’s true. -6 is usually in the range of 700 to 740.
