<p>Ok i am now convinced that probably not is the correct answer :(</p>
<p>edit: UNLESS the question was not asking for author’s implication/opinion. What exactly was the question asking?</p>
<p>@wuv2dance no, i’m pretty sure that wasn’t what the question asked</p>
<p>Everlasting, I see your point… but I guess why I still chose undesirable over inevitable is because the situation as a whole isn’t inevitable, although some parts of it my happen. The question asked the author’s view on the situation, as a whole, which I think he found undesirable. He talked about how to prevent some aspects of that from happening, and how to create different scenarios, which would be futile of him if he thought that it was inevitable. It’s like if you’re being attacked by a bear and you say, “I know this is going to hurt, I can’t prevent it, but if I curl up in a ball it will hurt less and the end result will be better.” (Weird analogy, sorry, couldn’t come up with a better one on the fly.)</p>
<p>I believe provocative was used in the question about the museum where most people chose illicit</p>
<p>but the question wasn’t asking if the AUTHOR thought the trojan war existed…it was asking in general if the public thought that it existed…and obviously it did cause thats what he/she said throughout the entire passage </p>
<p>^ um, yes, it was asking about the author. It probably didn’t say “what does the author think” but it was probably like “based on the passage, which is most likely…” which is the same thing.</p>
<p>Papapia, to be honest, no one really cares. Calm down, stop swearing (its censored, you just look like an idiot), and retake the tests later and hope to do better. Don’t ■■■■■ and make ridiculous arguments to try and protect what you answered…</p>
<p>^for the museum question, they were talking about robberies, thieves, etc. That’s all illicit, or illegal, acts</p>

<p>Wow you’ve got some mouth. I am simply venting. But wow goodluck to you in the real world. With that mouth of yours, you will surely not find it pleasant.</p>
<p>I was thinking about “provocative” used in the answer choices of one of the passage-based questions… any1 recall that?</p>
<p>i have a question,</p>
<p>on the emphatic/balanced one, wasn’t it asking “compared to passage 1, passage 2 is more______”</p>
<p>so why is passage 1 more emphatic the right answer?</p>
<p>i think it is undesirable because you can argue against the fact that it is inevitable, but you cannot truly say that it is desirable</p>
<p>There’s way too much debate on certain questions. I think it’s best if we just finish finding the last few questions, and let people decide for themselves what they believe the answers are for the controversial questions. We’ll all find out who was right on the 28th.</p>
<p>@ blankusername</p>
<p>there was an earlier debate over whether the question was addressing passage 1 or passage 2, it appears a lot of people misread the question either way</p>
<p>but I think the consensus is it was talking about passage 1 am I right?</p>
<p>Papapia:
<em>facepalm</em>
I will not feed ■■■■■■. I will not feed ■■■■■■. I will not feed ■■■■■■. I will not feed ■■■■■■.</p>
<p>For the controversial questions, can we on the consolidated list indicate that they are controversial and include the two possible answers, instead of just putting the one?</p>
<p>“14.thriving…harsh”</p>
<p>Wasn’t the pairing thriving…hostile?</p>
<p>Also, could someone please explain why the answer is that Thucydides based most of his work on Homer’s poem, not archaeological/architectural stuff (I don’t remember the correct wording for that answer, but it had to do with that)? The reason I thought the answer was archaeological was because the quoted passage from Thucydides’ book discussed how an imbalance of power translated into the construction of walled cities, which the passage said he studied.</p>
<p>
I’ll do that</p>
<p>Also, @lonelywayfarer: Yeah, that question about tone had to do with Passage 1, not Passage 2.</p>
