<p>I got the parody of actualy events also, but only cause I didnt know what the word assent meant. Now that I do, I think it was the choice with assent, something like "ill conceived assent"? Im still hoping its parody though...</p>
<p>I thought that one about word economy in writing was something...opinionated? Doesn't opinionated also denote having a lot to say?</p>
<p>I had ill-conceived assent...</p>
<p>Assent means permission. I didn't really find choices that particularily stood out for me in that question.</p>
<p>i had assent too</p>
<p>also, for the antartica writing passage, I think it was the last question about what to add to the last paragraph. I chose the one about how tourists littered and got antartica all "dirty".</p>
<p>i don<code>t get why it would be ill-conceived assent. the woman didn</code>t plan from the beginning either to exploit or to kill the beaver. moreover, we were asked about such her attitude in another question, it was something like frivolity in modern women.</p>
<p>as for parody, the passage itself mentioned one or two times verbal or legal binding. i think that<code>s enough for the legal answer to be right. however, at the time making the choice i used this notion along with the whole passage, so i don</code>t base it solely on the number of mentions. and as for parody, i didn`t find the passage funny, the tale itself was moralistic and exemplified traditions of those people. so, again, contract seems more appropriate</p>
<p>Does anyone even remember the question?...
H2O, I put the one about tourists littering also.</p>
<p>all of you are unjust, you signed a confidentiality agreement not discussing the SAT over text messaging or online...</p>
<p>but wE</p>
<p>what were the other answer choices for the littering one?</p>
<p>ASSENT means to CONSENT or to AGREE, ill concieved assent was on the beaver's part</p>
<p>so how was this assent ill-conceived on the beaver`s part?</p>
<p>Ill-conceived means "poorly thought out." After putting the two together, you get "poorly thought out agreement" to something. Obviously, that was in the story, and I'm pretty sure I remember it even saying that he leapt at helping the woman without thinking about it.</p>
<p>The answer to the question with "difficult" was definitely understatement.</p>
<p>Living in south central alaska certainly isn't just difficult, it's nearly impossible, especially with tribal technology (or lack thereof).</p>
<p>Does anybody have a FINAL answer for the black hole short passage question?</p>
<p>ok, that looks promising, but what were the answer choices like? does anybody remember? about beaver</p>
<p>if we can't even figure out the question what is the point in dwelling on the answer possibility. everyone will agree that the beaver made a bad decision, but that may not answer the question or be the best answer. </p>
<p>i remember there being an equally appealing alternative in that quesiton but i can't recall what it was.</p>
<p>The question was something about primarily what kind of story it was.</p>
<p>I remember I chose "a warning against ill-conceived assent" since the beaver was killed as a result of that assent, so I thought warning made the most sense.</p>
<p>If THAT was the qusetion...then I can argue against that being the answer. the problem was not that the beaver agreed, but rather because he did not stipulate terms, as the author explained. but i think that was a side-"moral" to the real moral of the story, which concluded by talking about how the pp woman was unprepared for her job and was going to get mauled to death by a bear. </p>
<p>i thnk there was an answer choiec about her irresponsibility</p>
<p>besides i don't think the people cared that much for beavers, so listening to it i don't think they would have cared too much about the stupid animal. i think they would have cared more for the idiot woman that they might see in themselves.</p>
<p>im pretty sure it was assent since in the section that the question pointed to the passage said something like the beaver had made a bad choice by agreeing to the favor without making any type of stipulations. this was an open agreement and justified the woman killing the beaver b/c he reneged.
there was nothing about the woman in the mentioned paragraph in the passage (the woman appears in the next passage)
and if no one cares about beavers, who would care about porcupines?</p>
<p>For the beaver passage, what was the answer to what the folklore represented? how to act socially, a traditional event, or a parody of real situations?</p>
