<p>@relatively smart, I thought I remembered something in that answer that didn’t make sense, though I can’t remember what. For rashly, I thought he said the old man hadn’t thought about the consequences of his offer, and thus the young man was hesitant.</p>
<p>I just went with the one that stated he was expecting it since he explicitly said that in the passage. It also became apparent that he struggled when responding to the old man.</p>
<p>@crushroller. I was unsure of the enses one too, but i thought it was sound. I recall most of the actions at the start being things that would makes noises.</p>
<p>For the bats one, Did she compare to all three butterly and etc. or No Bats</p>
<p>The second passage was a 2004 article from the National Wildlife Federation.</p>
<p>[Greening</a> the Worlds Most Popular Fruit - Bananas - National Wildlife Federation](<a href=“Magazines | National Wildlife Federation”>Magazines | National Wildlife Federation)</p>
<p>I guess this may settle any debate on the passage context.</p>

The answer was definitely Smell because she talked about how the scent from the night would be replaced with the smell of morning coffee.</p>
<p>@Alpha2014 The only thing she did not compare herself to were the bats.</p>
<p>I agree about the smell question, the passage began with her waking up to the smell of jasmine and coffee (or something along those lines).</p>
<p>^^ </p>
<p>If anyone can find the other passages that’d be great.</p>
<p>Thanks for finding the source of the banana passage. Has anyone been able to locate the sources of the other passages?</p>
<p>I found the book that contains the Brewster story, but I’m on my phone so I can’t tell if it has a preview of the pages containing the story. Either way, here’s the link:</p>

<p>Here’s the string theory passage.</p>
<p>Thanks thelemonisinplay and ACTtutor512!!</p>
<p>Solid teamwork. Now can we figure out what all of the questions were? Anyone want to compile something on google docs?</p>
<p>Have we already found the third passage, the one about the girl and her daily routine with her grandmother?</p>
<p>What do you think will be the reading curve?</p>
<p>^ I can’t seem to find the actual content, but I found the source.

<p>"…by the acrid but friendly smell of coffee brewing.
Before I was fully awake, my grandmother would often scoop me in her arms to take me to where they were milking the cows she still kept. Her neck smelled of fresh talcum, and…" </p>
<p>“Every afternoon, around four o’ clock, I had to take a bath and get dressed “for the evening.” I would set aside my boots I hated, with their hard insoles to support my flat feet, and put…”</p>
<p>That’s all I could find.</p>
<p>What did you guys put for the Brewster question involving his current condition: did it improve, not improve, or decrease greatly?</p>
<p>I put not improve because in the passage he states, “It hasn’t gotten any better since he moved.”</p>
<p>It did not improve. I believe that was stated in the first paragraph.</p>
