<p>more people have said that the question was comparing passage 1 with passage 2</p>
<p>…i put scholarly as well however</p>
<p>Was the sentence completion with blight as the right answer, the one that had the word stagnated?</p>
<p>Plz answer. I went out this evening and I couldn’t stop thinking about it!!!</p>
<p>i think so, someone said that blight was the right answer in a previous post in this thread</p>
<p>i really hope the answer was blight lol…</p>
<p>I think you might be reading too much into the question about the kids; I thought that one was relatively obvious, although I could be wrong. </p>
<p>Also, I had to read the question twice to make 100% sure I understood it, but mine asked about passage one. It’s really strange that everyone has conflicting opinions about this question, you’d think it would be pretty cut and dry.</p>
<p>Yeah, and they sound pretty convincing. Maybe we have different questions? It might be sort of like how some people had in the grammar section “after sentence 10” and some people “Before sentence 11.” I don’t know–I just don’t want to admit I misread it when I’m so confident abotu it, lol :3</p>
<p>The correct answer is blight. A “stagnation” or impediment of growth would not DECIMATE or completely destroy crops. However, a blight which means death or withering (this word also specifically refers to plants) would. </p>
<p>As far as the governess question about the “howling children” goes, I believed it wasthe last answer choice which said it foreshadowed success or whatever AT FIRST, but then I decided that there was no contextual evidence for such a conclusion. THerefore, I went with that he was trying to fool adults, an unsatisfactory, but in my opinion, most correct answer.</p>
<p>^ lol I agree with everything you just said</p>
<p>Wait so there WAS one SC that had both stagnated and blight?</p>
<p>strandlib: I thought that question was pretty tricky since you don’t know if the narrator’s being sincere or now. I put that the kids thought the governess’ tricks mysterious and impressive. If that’s not a very hard question, it’s an easy question.</p>
<p>EDIT: OH yeah, it was definitely blight. It would be stagnation if the stagnation lead to something, but that’s stretching it too far.</p>
<p>UHOH. i felt bad leaving it a blank and randomly picked stagnation.
i shouldn’t have done that!!!</p>
<p>i feel like a dumbass!!</p>
<p>why did i even bother to answer it…</p>
<p>I’m really curious to see if we all had slightly different questions on our tests.</p>
<p>Yeah, I narrowed down the plant one to blight and stagnation, and they both sounded negative to me, so I just went with blight because it rhymed with “right” (not even kidding).</p>
<p>Marimare: On the contrary, I know for a fact that that is not the correct answer. The passage clearly indicated that the children already knew the secrets of the governess’ tricks; therefore, the tricks certainly did not appear “mysterious and impressive” but rather trivial or overdone. I’m not sure of the exact answer choice I put, but the mysterious choice was one of the first I eliminated.</p>
<p>Thanx Marimare</p>
<p>Ykim917, I read the sentence that the children already knew the secrets, but then reading on, I realized that the paragraph could have been written in a POV and that the reactions were over-the-top for pretension, which is why I chose mysterious and impressive.</p>
<p>I read huge amounts of books with stuff like that, so I guess maybe I’m biased >_> haha</p>
<p>lewis- np :)</p>
<p>what were the other choices for that marimare</p>
<p>Off topic-for Math-did the question that asked to disprove “if not a multiple of 3, must be a multiple of 5” did it say ODD?</p>
<p>Then I may have misread the question.</p>
<p>Yes, it did. I put 23, but there are numerous correct answers.</p>
<p>23, 29, 31 were possible answers for it.</p>
<p>****! Use ur imagination for this word.</p>
