<p>No to ‘itself’ - I think I said this earlier but here it is:
A reflexive verb is something doing something to itself. I protect myself, he protects himself, it protects itself.
But in this case, the sentence was …the plant, whose delicate silver leaves protect IT/ITSELF from radiation and dehydration.
The plant is not protecting ITSELF. Its leaves are protecting IT. It’s not, in this case, reflexive, so the answer is ‘it.’</p>
<p>lol, i think @ sky is right now.</p>
<p>I still don’t remember the question <3</p>
<p>@sky is right.</p>
<p>was anyone else getting a lot of no changes and (A)'s on this english test?</p>
<p>Yes, especially in the first column of the answer key.</p>
<p>Okay, sounds good, I chose “, or LED” so I think I got that right, yay!
I put “it” rather than “itself,” because itself would refer (albeit incorrectly) to the leaves, not the plant.
I got 3 no changes in a row toward the beginning, and I was freaking out a bit XD</p>
<p>Ya, I always get kind of weary when that happens. It always makes me think that I’m answering some wrong; I like them scattered.</p>
<p>You guys are freaking me out. I remember getting a clump of a certain letter in the beginning, but I don’t recall it being no change…</p>
<p>@Futurewolverine7 If I remember correctly, not all of them were “no change”, only some were. The others just happened to be in the “A” slot :p.</p>
<p>Oh, ok. I’m assuming I had the same clumpings as you guys. I mean what are the chances that there were 4 A answers in a row, but I chose c for all 4 instead? Probably not very high, I’m still nervous though. lol.</p>
<p>About the it/itself question, was there really “the plant” as an option? If there was, then neither it nor itself can be right, cuz the plant would actually clear out the ambiguity that it/itself conveys.</p>
<p>Lol, about half of the discussion here has been about “it” and “itself” and the same reasoning and questions are repeated over and over again. I, like many others here, don’t remember “the plant” as being an option. I remember quickly eliminating two of the answer choices and being down to “it” or “itself.”</p>
<p>What do you guys get for the one that was like “If the writer had been assigned to write an essay about the revival of winter counts, would this essay be relevant?”
Wasn’t so sure :/</p>
<p>@ThucNghi
If I remember correctly, I chose the answer that said yes because it was about one family’s revival of a winter count</p>
<p>i put yes because it detailed one specific case where the tradition was revived. Also did you guys get that question where they say “winter counts provided the oral history?” or that was my answer don’t know if it was correct</p>
<p>How about the question that asked which was not acceptable: extremely, considerably, far, etc.</p>
<p>i said extremely</p>
<p>YES! woohoo 
then so far if I have totally only missed one because I second-guessed myself.
ndl1290, yeah that’s correct, that’s teh one I missed cause I second guessed >_<
pooooo.
hopefully i don’t get anything else wrong to be able to hopefully get a composite of 34</p>
<p>just to pitch my bit in two hours late 
the plant was an option, as I recall, however the preposition that followed it was clearly wrong.
the choices were it from, the plant ___, and itself from (not sure about the fourth choice)
but i do remember wishing that the preposition after the plant was from.</p>
<p>does anyone think the led question could be “led, for short” because it wasnt fitting the formal style?</p>
