U GOTTA HELP ME OUT!!!!!!!!1
I did some crazy s*** during the test...
I only did 23 of 35 problems because the questions were soooooooo weird and extremely hard.....
WAS THAT SECTION 3?</p>

<p>"intervene in" is an idiom error, it should be "intervene with"</p>

<p>@gujugeek - are you sure? i hope you are. or else im screwed</p>

<p>"intervene in" is an idiom error, it should be "intervene with"</p>

<p>was that b or d?</p>

<p>how are you sure?
i've seen a dictionary use "intervene in"</p>

<p>anyone remember that sentence completion that went like this :</p>

<p>the right to free speech was not necessarily __________<strong><em>, the advocates felt less harsh( something like that) and dissent was _</em></strong>___; </p>

<p>i put militant , fostered </p>

<p>i dont know...........shiiiiiitttt</p>

<p>For can also mean despite or notwithstanding.</p>

<p>I did look at the answer with "Although," but it had something like, "discussing to one and another" which I thought didn't make sense and was not as good of an answer as the original. </p>

<p>"The companies claimed that they would do blah, but then didn't" is what I interpreted the sentence to say.</p>

<p>np11788, after serious time of thinking, I put that too!@1!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>yes, what was the answer?</p>

<p>i thought the problem was the "of" ... i cannot remember the whole sentence... does anyone have the whole "intervene" sentence.</p>

<p>np11788: divisive/restricted or prohibited</p>

<p>mijehar: I definitely don't think it's divisive/restricted..</p>

<p>yea np i put divisive/restricted</p>

<p>This is why I hate idioms.</p>

<p>What was the sentence with "intervene"??</p>

<p>do you guys remember with an answer that had the word "supposition" in it</p>

<p>The question was: Freedom of speech is not necessarily a _________ force; people who promote it actually fear it less/or have less problems with it than those who ____________ dissent.</p>

Prohibit</p>

<p>Intervene question was writing:</p>

<p>Mediators are standing by, to intervene in the legal disputes, despite both sides (saying they didn't want help).</p>
