@AsianBoyGenius

The majority of the passage was about her pondering what might happen (lol, I didn’t realize this until I was almost through with the questions) when she finally meets them. The father’s death was a possibility meaning it was her most dreadful dream.

Did you guys get simile and hyperbole for the Jane Austen passage?

@glasshours that was definitely familial trait, bc she states several times its her family who she never met, how can you share an acquired behavior with people you never met?

Well a^k = 27, so it has to be 3^3

There was one that was 64.

There was another answer where b^2 + ak = 25.

@Newdle yes it was 4^2+9 = 25

I said metaphor and melodrama.

Was the “even better” phrase in the psychological passage answered as “more fascinating”? That one was also a bit weird

0 is an integer and it asked for |h(x)| which means the y value, and if we are talking abs value, the minimum would be 0, which is already a y value of h(x)

@Q7heng yes, similie and hyperbole

I put simile/hyperbole.

Passage One used “like” in the comparison. Passage Two was just over sentimental and exaggerating.

@Q7deng, i said more accurate… idk though

Almost did too but it uses the word “like” for comparison so first one has to be smilie

was opening to history textbook passage falsely dramatic?

For even better I put more accurate but I’m not sure.

@16elir was the “even better” “more fascinating”?

I said falsely dramatic also.

what was the experimental section for the writing .It was like a longer passage and one obvious very short like half the page.

I put more fascinating as well

A metaphor can also use like or as, though. @Greenteagoddess
I chose metaphor/melodrama because hyperbole didn’t seem right.
