For the questions about music and authenticity . . .

There was one like what is mentioned in one but not two. . .

I said something about it being akin to what famous people ? ?

Also, there was one writing questions where I was stuck between two answers and the only difference between them was a comma at the end. . .

I can’t remember that much about the question. . I just remember seeing ‘though:. . ’ though,’

Also, there was one about Stonehenge. . did you guys change it to tell or something . . .? It might have been about rock formations.

522

@prospect123‌ It was worst case scenario. Because he was like rabbits could overrun the country. . BUT the environment would eventually recover. . .

Also, on the Korean question I originally had restrained but, I didn’t think it would really be the opposite of raw emotion so I changed my answer to sarcasm and I feel so dumb RN ahhh

523

Did anyone not have a question about mexico’s corn output difference from 2000 to 2007?

524

DOES anyone think our scores will be DELAYED because other peoples’ tests were canceled today (because of snow)???

525

@didierdrogba‌ it was like 200 million (choice E)–because it asked for total

526

@NotAMathlete‌ had problem with the same question;i put the akin to famous people one
i dont really remember the stonehedge one, but i think there was an error with the plurarity of words (it was refering to ruins which was plural)

527

Did anyone NOT have the Mexico corn question?

528

Hey everyone! Some questions that I’m not sure have been posted yet.

  1. For the music/authenticity passage, what was a rhetorical device used in P1 but not in P2? Something like citing authority figures?
  2. Is coolness an appropriate word to use? (For monarch butterflies)
  3. Second stamp passage question? Something like document a hobby...
  4. Music/authenticity---"akin to an effective stage performer?"
  5. writing--allergist...in part due to us having become for hygenic or the fact that we have become more hygenic?
529

i’m pretty sure it would to support a previous statement because the sentence right before that said how small things could have big impacts

530

about the authentic folk music passages, there was one question: what wasn’t related to his attempt to live like the common folks or something, and I chose choice D, he built the house in the rural place, instead of E, writing letter to NY News. There was another one that asked what is ironic about the house he built in the rural place, what did you guys put? I chose :" He wanted to isolate himself."

531

I also had indigenous as an answer. It was for a question about a girl leaving her home and going back and being like ‘guize we’re not diverse’

532

I’m pretty sure this was the experimental section…but can anyone clarify?

One of my reading sections was about a girl who didnt like going to the private school and instead wanted to live with her dad by the river except she wasnt actually happy living by the river because it was boring

533

@nangkhieu‌ I put down the letter to the NY news as one answer.

The other I put he used a modern/urban intellectual source to build a traditional, rural home. (Idk, that’s what was ironic to me)

534

@jamanda‌ i agree with your answer

@NotAMathlete‌ i said that too

535

@notamathlete I got the same as you. It seems like the better answer.

536

@Mango920452‌ Hey! Just wondering. . were you ever in a PSAT thread? Your username sounds familiar. :))

537

can anyone cormfirm that #14 on the last writing section was “had not yet?”

538

Lol guys for my experimental I had an ACT English-style section. I was like whatttt

539

@dallascowboys1 that sounds kind of familiar. . .do you remember anything else about the question?

540

@jamanda‌ “because the sentence right before that said how small things could have big impacts” Actually, the previous sentence was basically “Nature allows few wildly unstable situations, in which introducing a tiny factor results in enormous change.”

I said it was clarifying a previous ambiguity. The previous sentence to the “discussion” made that large assertion without clarifying what time frame. By admitting that there are many wildly unstable situations in nature in the SHORT RUN, but then CLARIFYING what really mattered was the long run, he clarified that assertion by qualifying it. Thoughts?
