<p>oh then nvm i probs put emotional support</p>
<p>Also for the last passage for one of the questions about the book was the answer that he didn’t really mean for it to cause a fight? I forgot the exact wording…</p>
<p>I put emotional support, even though the other answer seemed correct too. Emotional support just sounded better to me.</p>
<p>What do guys think a -5, -6, or -7 will be on the reading portion?
I’m hoping I can get a 30 on reading, then I’ll be set as it is my worst section.</p>
<p>From CC I can tell I’ve gotten about -3, and those were ones I was confused on so at worst I expect a -7</p>
<p>@alexmass</p>
<p>I know it wasn’t that because in one of the paragraphs it stated in the passage that he expected controversy.
I was down to two that spoke of how he put it in common terms. One of the answers used the vocab “oversimplifying”, however, that didn’t sound right so I picked the other one.</p>
<p>i think -7 will be at least a 30 if they curve it one point. Hopefully they curve it 2.</p>
<p>ugh I thought it said somewhere towards the bottom of the first column that that he wrote his book not knowing it would cause this.</p>
<p>Can somebody elaborate on what the “entrenched” question was? I’m reading this and I don’t recall entrenched at all… what was the question asking???</p>
<p>I don’t remember the exact wording of the question, but it asked about why string theory was created. It stated in the passage that it was created to explain Standard Theory. Gravity doesn’t has something to do with standard theory, but not string theory. In short, I’m pretty sure gravity was the wrong choice, but we’ll see :)</p>
<p>no that question was DEFINITELY gravity, i am 99.9% confident on that</p>
<p>so the answer to the entrenched question was gravity?</p>
<p>No trumpet - those were two separate problems. The “entrenched” question was asking about string theory among scientists in general. It was asking if it was “entrenched” or “equally popular” with some other theory. I can’t remember the other answer choices</p>
<p>Ugh, what is the likelihood that -2 will be a 35 or 36? If it is, I might have pulled off a 36 composite.</p>
<p>The answer was definitely gravity</p>
<p>I thought the theory was more prominent than entrenched. The passage never said anything about the string theory being the absolute accepted theory.</p>
<p>The prominent answer said quote “prominent and it was considered equal to three other theories” , that last part is what made it wrong. In the essay it said that the string theory was quote “dominating” physics . Therefore it was entrenched since it was the major theory</p>
<p>I don’t think it said prominent and equal to three other theories.</p>
<p>Dominant=/= entrenched</p>
<p>Just because something is dominant doesn’t mean that change is unlikely. First of all, the string theory has no evidence as the passage stated.</p>
<p>it said something like it was taught with equal importance to the other three theories. and it wasn’t asking about what is going to happen in the future so having evidence is regardless. It was asking about what is the current state of the string theory. evidence has nothing to do with it and change doesn’t as well</p>
<p>I chose entrenched over prominent because the option about the theory being prominent said “among others theories” or something like that. I don’t recall the article mentioning any other theories being considered, but then again I also am completely unfamiliar with modern physics. If I remember correctly, the guy who wrote the book argued that physicists were so stuck on this string theory that they wouldn’t consider experimenting with anything else (or something along those lines). That made me think “entrenched”. But I can also see the argument for the other answer. This was just a more difficult passage to comprehend than usual, especially given the time constraints…</p>
<p>yes, that quote right there about where they wouldnt consider experimenting with anything else was the reason why i put entrenched. i know i had text evidence to support me but I couldnt remember exactly what it was</p>
<p>I just think it was a very ambiguous question that could be interpreted correctly in a myriad of ways. I stick by my choice of controversial, but entrenched and prominent are also equally as probable choices.</p>
