<p>They said she knew the dangers in the end.</p>

<p>She knew that dangers lay ahead but not which dangers.</p>

<p>For instance, I know someday I will die. That doesn't mean when I do, it will be expected.</p>

<p>but if she clearly stated that she knew that there were dangers, why would you assume that she was uncertain of what kind of dangers lay ahead? Just because they didn't mention all the dangers she knew of does not mean she was uncertain of them. See, I thought that by saying she was uncertain you'd have to jump to some sort of conclusion without appropriate evidence from the passage; you can't simply infer that information from the passage. I don't know if that all made sense, but that's just the way I thought of it, if someone could clarify a bit more, that would be great.</p>

<p>For the aggregation (not aggregate) question, it was talking about Essence's appeal to black women as a group. Aggregation is a synonym of group. But, I don't really remember the question that well..</p>

<p>It wasn't whimsical; it was didactic.</p>

<p>yea in the map passage, Larry?, if thats his name, was didactic, meaning instructive; he "instructed" the others with sayings and proverbs on his little soap-box. </p>

<p>for the puerto rican girls passage, i chose 'fearful and uncertain', and excluded 'resigned and defeated' for two reasons:
1. she was not defeated, she just realized she was not in Puerto Rica anymore and had to readjust to new rules; and the words are way too strong
2. she was fearful of the dangers, and uncertain of what lay ahead; even tho she knew there were dangers, she cud still be uncertain about what kind of dangers</p>

<p>yeah, but the passage never said she was uncertain, she COULD be, but we couldn't exactly prove it through the passage, there simply isn't enough information to jump to that conclusion, right?</p>

<p>OK you guys do not get VENN DIAGRAMS THESE ARE USED TO REPRESENTS SETS. CORRECT. OK NOW LISTEN TO THIS SUPPOSE THAT YOU HAVE A SET AS X= {1,2,3,4} and Y={1,3,4} and Z = {4,5,6} Then you would have the intersection of XandY = 3 and intersection of XYZ = 1. However you wouldn't add 1+3=4 as the intersection of XY because that would be multiple counting of 4 since that is inclusive of X and Y and Z. Listen to me i have asked my dad whose a stat teacher at UT. Hes like im correct so HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>persistent little ***** arent u?</p>

<p>no cuz im right</p>

<p>do you agree with atleast my sets problem that it has to be 3.</p>

<p>plz redraw just the two circles, and u'll see that it included the 3. we've formed a concensus here, and a bunch of people together on CC are rarely ever wrong.</p>

<p>rajnitarajnita: Your numbers for the intersections are incorrect. In a venn diagram, with your sets, the intersection of just x and y would be marked 2, because "1" and "3" are the only numbers that exclusively belong to x and y, and not to any other set. Set z would include only "4" because it is the only number that belongs to all three sets. That problem is that you're trying to choose "2," which is the number of elements that belong exclusively to x and y, and not to any other set. It happens that there is another number, "4," that is in set z, so it isn't marked in the intersection of elements that are exclusive to x and y. Therefore you have to add the "2" and the "1" to get the total intersection between x and y, which, with your examples, would be "3."</p>

<p>its 10, thats final.</p>

<p>The answer was ten. I'm mediocre at math but I got that question because we did Venn Diagrams in 9th grade Geography all the time. It was probably one of the easiest questions I've ever seen on the SAT because it's not really even a math question at all. They both had 7 and 3 in common and 7+3=10.</p>

<p>Sorry I know this is annoying but... I can't help myself</p>

<p>What would 5wrong3skip on reading give me,
and 3-4 wrong 12 essay give me?</p>

<p>CR: 680
W: 760</p>

<p>This is pure speculation</p>

<p>If I don't break 700, I am going to seriously... um... yea</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure it was 10...</p>

<p>wasn't that venn diagram problem like number 10 out of 20 or something? usually they don't make the problems that tricky until you progress further into the section, so I highly doubt they'd go into such detail.</p>

<p>funkmasta: About the girl's feelings: There was nothing in the passage to support that she was emotionally defeated or resigned in her present state. To say otherwise would also be jumping to conclusions. That she is uncertain about the future is inherently true: You can't predict the future. That she was fearful was supported by her knowledge of the danger that lies ahead.</p>
