<p>I was wondering about the following questions:</p>
<p>Kael’s critics and 2 author reference:</p>
<p>Could it be the “supposed innovation could be traced to other authors”? I thought like the “she was not unique to American authors” too broad, which made it seem like all or most American authors wrote in that style. If not, please explain</p>
<p>Trojan War, excerpt and conveying question:</p>
<p>Explain excerpt(regarding putting up walls, strong, weak, and fear) and answer?</p>
<p>And I might be confusing wasted with another possible answer choice. Because I remember there being a choice of wasteful on one of the reading passages. Eh, I dunno. I’m too tired. Off to bed.</p>

I strongly believe it was fear and loyalty, therefore questioning the value of national pride in as the ulterior motive for the united Greek alliance against the Trojans</p>
<p>I put the weaker were trying to avenge their lowly state (or something like that). Obviously I’ll be biased because i put that. I thought that the passage said the weaker were “put up” with doing the stronger power’s works and that they had to do something about it? Thus it caused them to become stronger and stronger, until the leader (forgot his name) eventually started a war out of fear? Explain if i misunderstood</p>
<p>for the trojan war passage, isn’t “unanimous” too extreme to replace “uniform”…? I know it is pretty much established that “unanimous” is the right one, but I thought it was too extreme… Can anyone help me understand why this is correct and what are the other choices? (this would help me remember what I picked…) Thanks!</p>

the reasoning is sound, but your answer choice does not work because it is a distortion
in fact, all of the 4 other choices were either incorrect assumptions or a distortion of context
only the national pride choice was accurately summarized by the last 2 lines of the excerpt</p>
<p>and i believe a -7 would be around 700-720 since a perfunctory glance at other people’s responses shows that most people did not do as well as they usually do, so the curve should be favorable</p>
<p>Wow I can’t believe I sat here and read through most of the pages. XD Haha. Surprisingly, I’m hanging in there getting most of the ones that are agreed upon Ohh and I’m team antidote ! :)</p>
<p>Ok I still don’t understand. Was ecletic on the SC twice? I distinctly remember putting ecletic…incisive for the Harper Lee question which I realize should have been prolific…trenchant but the consolidated list has ecletic on it in addition to the prolific question.</p>
<p>what was the answer to the last one about the mother/daughter
the last sentence implies that rose?
rose understood her daughters something
or the daughter decided not to do the story</p>
<p>I got a long passage about a japanese-american woman coming back to her home in japan
and another about gardening and the benefits of natural decomposition
and short passages about translators</p>
<p>I got an experi. passage on reconceptualizing tv programs, something about lexital vs imaginal hmispheres of the brain and tv vs. reading. which was relatively easier than te other CRs.</p>
<p>fishmonster, I reasoned that since the writer spoke of Kale in an admiring tone, she wouldn’t have implied Kale’s “supposed innovation.”
Looking at the contxt, she said Kale admired those two authors, who were “way stations” to her fanciful colloquial style.
It sort of counters the following paragraph about detracts who criticized Kale’s colloquial style, so it’s safe to choose “she was not unique in using a colloquial style,” but she developed it into the essence of colloquialism.</p>
