<p>I said to take it off. Usually it is just inferred that a watercraft would go on rivers and lakes. Who knows...</p>

42

<p>You know the sentence that was like "he told me to get on ______" the choices were
THEM
THE HORSE
STORMY
and something else</p>

<p>What was the answer?</p>

43

<p>if you read ahead in the passage (which is why reading the content is a good idea), it said that he got on stormy -- and since there was two horses, you had to be specific as to which he got on</p>

<p>[i actually skipped that question until i read onto the next page]</p>

44

<p>yess!!! that's what i did. also, i thought the horse was vague, he couldn't get on "them", and stormy just sounded right</p>

45

<p>I said to take off "lakes and rivers". My reasoning: the examples prior to this were not specific; I tried to keep it the same.</p>

<p>Atleast I think...</p>

46

<p>Oh, awesome, that's what I put; I had the horse at first, then I read liek 2 more paragraphs and I went back and changed it.</p>

47

<p>i did the same exact thing lalala</p>

48

<p>stormy was the correct answer.</p>

49

<p>"lakes and rivers" should of been kept in order to increase the description, and to specify where the watercrafts were banned. Watercrafts can refer to the ones in oceans/saltwater, but why would anyone ban watercrafts from the ocean when noone inhabits the ocean. In order to clarify this, you have to keep "lakes and rivers". What: ban on watercrafts When: After advocates of noise control urged the government dudes How: By making a rule/law Where: In lakes and rivers Who: everybody...... who what when where how. This masterfully created sentence fulfills all 5 traits of description.... leading to a better understanding.</p>

50

<p>^^exactly!</p>

51

<p>that whole watercraft sentence should have been there, but that wasnt an option. The answer was keep "lakes and rivers" because thats the only way the sentence tied back in with the rest.</p>

52

<p>so far i have a 36 for english but i know there is something in there i missed</p>

53

<p>does anyone remember some of the answers to the spider passage?</p>

<p>was the answer to the "order of production of fibers" or something like that B?</p>

54

<p>maybe... that was an easy one though, it was just directly stated in the passage</p>

55

<p>i ended up running out of time, so I skipped that question and answered some others. I just guessed B.</p>

56

<p>o yea i guessed for that question...anyone remember it?</p>
