<p>Man I didn’t see furtive for some odd reason. I marked the choice that had migratory in it or whatever. Wow that’s another miss for me.</p>

<p>This is the glacier passage, although it looks like they edited it quite a bit for the test.</p>
<p>BACH: I doubt the “flawed” choice was correct. The sentence that question asked about describes the player as “IMITAT[ING]” another player. Bascially, he was being unoriginal because he was copying him.</p>
<p>^ I’m not sure you’re right. The sentence is:</p>
<p>“That’s it!” Charlotte would shriek when I managed to more or less imitate a snaky bass phrase and land on the right note.</p>
<p>The words “when I managed to more or less … land on the right note” indicate that it was not perfect and that the narrator was having some trouble. Yes, he was imitating the notes on the paper, but that doesn’t seem to be the main point of the sentence. The main point (imo) is that he was singing the song, but his singing was flawed.</p>
<p>^ I completely agree with nine. The whole point of that line was to show that he wan’t doing a good job with the notes, that his singing was flawed (imperfect; containing mistakes).</p>
<p>flawed was correct for the “that’s it” question. BUt wasn’t there another question where imitate WAS the correct answer? Or am I confused?</p>
<p>Boom if you read that glacier passage, you get the answer to the evidence question that everyone claimed could be answered by the “parallel structure” part of the story. Parallel structure was the right answer for that question by the way, but for the evidence question, the correct answer was lines 7-8 about one scientist observing that 95% of Greenland is ice and therefore towns “cling to the coastline”. Therefore settlement is being affected. Boom.</p>
<p>Thanks for posting the link ninevolt.</p>
<p>What are you guys’ opinions on the arduous fortuitous question? Can someone maybe uncover that link?</p>

<p>My son’s test was not international-what leads you to think that?</p>
<p>nyc1478- because if you look at the International Thread, they had the EXACT same passages your son did…Where did he take the test? That’s really weird.</p>
<p>I put flawed down first, but then noticed that the line has Charlotte saying “That’s it!” when he manages to imitate, or mimic, a “snaky bass phrase.” Why would she say “That’s it!” if the main point of the sentence was his failure and flaws? Not only that, but what in that sentence implies that his method is “flawed?” He’s having difficulty hitting the notes (“more or less managed…”), no doubt. But it’s because he’s an amateur having to copy and imitate the notes (aka being unoriginal), not that he’s “flawed.”</p>
<p>Very subjective question, I think. He’s being unoriginal while being imperfect.</p>
<p>I don’t want to be that stubborn person who keeps arguing a question, but if you look at the sentences preceding and following our sentence: </p>
<p>“Before I knew it I was singing the notes with Charlotte at the piano and we were motoring through “Give the Hungry Man Thy Bread.” Or to be accurate, she was motoring and I was hitching a ride on the slow lane of the autobahn…“That’s it!”…She was so musically vivacious…”</p>
<p>They were playing TOGETHER and he was HITCHING a ride. He was imitating her, being unoriginal, and copying her so he could “tackle the score.” The next sentence jumps right into a description about Charlotte. If “flawed” was right, then I think the sentence would’ve said he MISSED notes and played INCORRECTLY instead of talking about his difficulty landing on them while imitating Charlotte.</p>
<p>Alright, I rest my case. Yall are wiser than I am.</p>
<p>What do you guys think -3 will be or perhaps -4 will be?</p>
<p>^I’m wondering the same. So far I’m at -4</p>
<p>Charlotte is very dramatic and passionate about her music. She wants to give encouragement to the author even though he wasn’t that great at music. I think it’s flawed.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it was flawed.</p>

<p>I’m at -3 now. I’m hoping it’s 770/780 :)</p>
<p>I don’t think this has been asked before, but did anyone get a short passage about train stations? It had stuff about the social effect that train stations have on people and bring them together. One question was about what “monument to modernity” meant and I put “portent of” The other choice that I was stuck on was “symbol of”</p>
<p>anyone remember this?</p>
<p>^ I don’t think that was a passage? Maybe it was an experimental?</p>
<p>babyowl…that was experimental…do you remember any vocab words that were on that section cuz they will be on a test soon! help us out!</p>
<p>oh and it’s FLAWED without a doubt.</p>
