<p>I put approval for the farming question.
I think the hardest passage was the glacier passage</p>
<p>I don’t recall that being an answer to that question. The question asked for the best scientific evidence that fit into the parameters set by the last sentence of the passage.</p>
<p>I put vulnerable. The wording of the ice cliff or something pushing down like lead and the tone of the paragraph sounded like the town was at the mercy of nature.</p>
<p>I put vulnerable too</p>
<p>I also put vulnerable.</p>
<p>I had approval also. For the brother question, even considering the definiton of bemused, the general idea I got from the brother was one of eagerness and friendliness (e.g. he smiled at her as he told her she wasn’t supposed to be there). Tough question for sure though… </p>
<p>What did yall get for the vocab question with choices prim, brisk, tame… I had tame, but wasn’t sure.</p>
<p>For the question about the author’s “journey”, I felt that “fortuitous” could also be a reasonable answer since arduous implies that the word “journey” has a connotation of strenuousness. </p>
<p>If the answer was “arduous”, wouldn’t the word be something more like “struggle” instead of “journey”. While fortuitous is often used to describe something happening by chance, it also describes things that have a fortunate outcome. If you don’t believe me, look at the New Oxford English dictionary which describes the modern use of fortuitous to be “positive outcomes.” Journey implies that there is an ultimate achievement reached, in this case, the woman’s becoming an author. Tough question.</p>
<p>Also, what did you guys say for how the two passages were related for the fingerprint one?</p>
<p>I was also struggling between fortuitous and arduous ( I forgot which one I chose)Fortuitous is possible too I think. For the fingerprint one, what are the answers? </p>
<p>I remember there was an answer ''commonly heard in a trial" something like that…</p>
<p>can somebody tell me what question in the sentence vocab completion was the answer hostility? I dont remember seeing that word at all…</p>
<p>It was the one about Abraham Lincoln</p>
<p>Hostility was the answer and bitter division was in the sentence too</p>
<p>can anyone verify the Filipino author role model question? I forgot what I put, and any of the other choices. If someone can tell me what other choices were and such, it will be of tremendous help. Thank you!</p>
<p>For the one about the Korean writing, I put deliberate because she stated early on that she thought the writing was beautiful and graceful. And the paper was not really impersonal to her–she had a sense of excitement to read it.</p>
<p>I thought the passage was not very well written, though. While she does say the writing is beautiful at the beginning, she calls it chicken scratch at the end.</p>
<p>No, but the impersonal (in this sense black and white) scribblings contrasted the vibrancy of what the writing actually meant.</p>
<p>Did any of you guys specifically remember getting question number 12 on writing No Error. The Chinese and the Bison I agree with, but I don’t exactly remember the other no error sentence, just its number.</p>
<p>does anyone remember a question on the calligraphy passage about thewriting being staacked in “neat” columns? Was there a question on that?</p>
<p>^Yes, the question asked which other word had the most similar meaning. I chose “orderly”.</p>
<p>I picked orderly also. Best choice for sure.</p>
<p>do you remember a 2 blank sentence completion that started with the letters…</p>
<p>sig…and the second word started with iner…?</p>
<p>I wrote that down after the test and cant remember what it stands for! </p>
<p>Oh and what was the second word of the 2 blank sentence competion where articulate was the first blank…something about how he spells tings out ? Was the second part suggests solutions???</p>
<p>In the Bach passage, I put unalloyed confidence…I could be wrong but I don’t understand why “measured optimism” is better. He was being overly confident, almost cocky, by saying (and this is just going from memory not quotes) all he needed to do was sing. He couldn’t play instruments but his vocal cords worked. So he registered to be in the choir. But being that he can sing and read music for instruments he could in theory participate.
Anyone else get this or am I just dumb? Lol</p>
