<p>Alaska was undeveloped. 90% sure. It referred to development in the following sentence (real estate) to somewhat contrast the undeveloped characterization.</p>
<p>The one about the artists and authors was stated almost identically in the passage that they wanted to put black artists/authors in a new light.</p>
<p>I put scenic for the Lewis and Clark one, but I think it may have been undeveloped. Anyone really sure that can justify one or the other?</p>
<p>My reasoning for scenic: He said that the land right now was wild, which I took to refer to the rivers, the trees, and all the nature that was there. Once the water was to take over, all of it would be gone.</p>
<p>I was little confused about the sequence of events... First there was nature, and then at some point it was to be overflooded? And then real estate people were to build dams to prevent further water?</p>
<p>Definition for wild: "(of scenery or a region) desolate-looking : the wild coastline of Cape Wrath."</p>
<p>I suppose it could have said that right now it was uninhabited, and then the people were going to come after development was to be made. But Alaska isn't necessary desolate-looking. Antartica would have made more sense if that were the case.</p>
<p>I am really not sure, I suppose it was undeveloped though.</p>
<p>Within that paragraph the author was trying to emphasize the significant of the nature in the wilderness-The thing about the undeveloped and real estate people wa after that. So it must be the scenic because it seemed like he was adoring the beauty of the wilderness itself.</p>
<p>What was the question with wist******ful and whimsical?</p>
<p>ln17: It seems like you're thinking what I'm thinking. I didn't fully understand the chronology, but if the real estate part came after, then I think scenic made more sense. I would say that Alaska is more scenic than undeveloped. I don't really think you can make an analogy between an uninhabited site that's about to be constructed into something and a state that is hundreds of thousands of people in it. I could be wrong though.</p>
<p>To the average person:Alaska is pretty undeveloped if you ask me. And scenic wouldnt be the word that comes to mind when I think of Alaska. i think of cold barren land. </p>
<p>"626,932" for America's largest state? c'mon. that is definitely undevloped.</p>
<p>Hey, for the sentence completion on the speech, did you guys put effusive? Also, do you guys remember putting unimpassioned for one of the sentence completions, instead of esoteric?</p>
