<p>Does anybody know how they funded the Erie Canal?</p>
<p>What about the question in the dictionary passage: Which dictionary did the author appreciate most? (Or something like that) Was it the last one mentioned in the passage?</p>
<p>Rhetorically, not sure though. I figured it was either genuinely or rhetorically.</p>
<p>@callikid they funded it with funds they got from people using the canal before it was done being made</p>
<p>@shazam the one mentioned in the last paragraph, the author said it was the greatest achievements for dictionaries or something.</p>
<p>@hockey
Pretty sure I put rhetorically. It was the only one that really fit.
And plus, everytime questions are asked in critical essays, they’re always rhetorical.</p>

<p>@hockeydude Rhetorically
@shazam It was the last one mentioned. He said that although it had errors it was a pivotal step. Basically it was the only one he was overall very positive about.
@calllikid They funded it with its own revenue. It was in the first paragraph of the second column when the author said that it was profitable even before completion.</p>
<p>The reading section was easier than any practice tests I did but too bad I totally forgot to pace myself.</p>
<p>So the answer for one wasn’t sitting in the sun, but rather speaking calmly correct?</p>
<p>The Chronological/Development one was definitely development. A date earlier in the passage was 1628 and then later in the passage 1258 or something so it was not in chronological order.</p>
<p>the first sentence of the passage was that the fire burned in august so it was summer 4-7 times a year</p>
<p>@Yankee- the grandma said she couldn’t keep her mouth shut, or something like that, when she watched the clouds…the answer for that one was definitely something about sitting in the sun.
And @future: they generated revenue by parts of the canal that were already completed. It was directly stated in the top of the second column of the page</p>
<p>@HANESH
It mentioned the fall later in the passage which would then be “autumn”</p>
<p>@Hanesh no it was definitely autumn. Straight out of the passage it said something like the dry autumn weather is perfect for these natural firestorms. </p>
<p>@yankeedood I put speaking calmly, I didn’t see that anywhere in the text.</p>
<p>yeah it wasn’t chronological order. I forgot the answer but it wasn’t that hard of a question</p>

<p>@skylimits, what you wrote doesn’t seem to imply sitting in the sun at all. I didn’t see ‘she would be able to speak calmly’ anywhere in the passage</p>
<p>Okay-- but she was able to sit in the sun already…she didn’t have any reason to not like it?</p>
<p>How many choices were C in the humanities passage???!</p>
<p>@alargeblack no the answer was sit in it for a long time, which the lady could do but the grandmother couldnt</p>
