@HughHuang96824 for italics I got to make a distinction.

I just remember that I got no NE in the first part of the first writing section… did anyone else get this? Please let me know!!

@twzelle @HuangoBango It was that there were little physical changes. The fact that the people aren’t receiving physical changes doesn’t mean that they will make more bad choices… it means that they will probably get 50% good and 50% bad because they have no hunches at all. It’s just random. The only thing that IS clear is that they are getting little physical changes.

I said that the italics made a distinction too, since that seems like what they did in both cases.

I found the American Textbook passage to be the hardest. What did you guys think?

That’s physical changes. Normal people can avoid bad choices and thus having larger chance to pick good choices, but the people in the experiment have no reaction to neither good choice or bad ones, so the chance is half-half. In other words, that function can help you to choose good choice, but not having that function just makes everything random.

Definitely thought the Easter Island passage was the hardest. The american textbook wasn’t too bad

@16elir what did you choose in “Bigger crown…I go to regularly…a trend…interested in buying” I put NE

Easter Island and one of the two short passage ones had me stumped…

Does anyone remember the sentence error question talking about politicians giving speeches on tree stumps?

@HuangoBango was that question in the second column on the right page? probably number 24?

I thought the bit about canoe ladders in the Easter Island passage was super hard to understand.

@HughHuang96824 The passage seemed to indicate that having these reactions generally increases the likelihood that they pick a good choice, right? So someone who doesn’t have this aid will, BY COMPARISON, probably pick worse choices. It was implied in the question that they would have more bad draws than would ensue in someone without nervous system damage, even if the probability is 1/2.

Hey guys, I’m a bit confused with the passage about moai transportation and Pacific islanders? Do any of you guys remember what the question or the answer choices were for the one that had an answer choice like the East Island was close to the bay or something? And what was the question about interactions between Pacific islanders and the East islanders?
Also, for the Spanish poet question, what was the answer choice for E? I remember D being “it was unique to Spanish language” and E was something like it was unprecedented in Latin literature or something along those lines?
Thanks :slight_smile:

@HughHuang96824 I put NE for that one. I also did NE for tree stumps.

@16elir same here for the tree stumps

@ALibertarian No, the passage says that if a person has a bad draw, he will keep doing so because there is no reaction going on. Similarly, if a person has a good draw, he will keep having good draws.

@cl0523 For the spanish poet one, it was definitely E, about it being unique or unprecedented or whatever. The Easter Island passage really confused me so I don’t think I’d be a reliable source for that section lol

what was the tree stumps one? was there a phrase “give rise to…” in it?

@HughHuang96824 yes, that one had the gave rise to phrase in it. I got no error for that.

I chose would. I thought it might be a special usage, but I don’t know.
