<p>Vocab was easy but the passages were hard. There were a lot of questions whete two answers seemed right. The pakistan girls passage killed me. Oh and so fid the Sphynx one.</p>
<p>I thought the pakistani girls passage was easy… sphinx was quite difficult for me</p>
<p>I also had the about the telescope and star gazing one. I thought the passages in this test were tougher.</p>
<p>Yea i agree with gthipeful93, the sphinx one was by far the hardest. The paskistan girls was pretty straightfoward…just the names were a bit confusing at first.</p>
<p>For the spice short passage did you guys put ironic ( question was about characterization of the spice trade) or dramatic? I went with ironic. </p>
<p>And in the pakistani passage why was the question repeated? I was tore between two choices and I put “growing indignant feeling” as the answer. </p>
<p>On the sphyn passage what was implied about photographs? I am surr i got the question wrong. I answered that photographs undermine written things.
And was the guy pompous and stuffy or weary and complacent? I put pompous and stuffy.</p>
<p>pompous and stuffy
photographs can take away from the novelty or something
i put dramatic not ironic</p>
<p>I put dramatic, idignant feeling, pompous and stuffy</p>
<p>I also put photos take away from novely, idk about that one tho</p>
<p>I put pompous and stuffy too…</p>
<p>was mollified correct? What were the 2 questions with Twain? One had to do with pictures maybe? Was elude correct on vocab? On the vocab was the answer versatility…insult correct or was it D?</p>
<p>I was probably wrong about that photograph one. Novelty makes a lot of sense now because the first sentence in the paragraph was something like: “people can say they have actually seen the spyhnx and then make exaggerated claims/details”. I was planning o picking novelty but the word “novelty” turned me away for the answer lol</p>
<p>A) peremptory…ordeal: correct for sentence completion?</p>
<p>mollified was incorrect; the correct choice was disconcerted</p>
<p>1st Twain question: unusual for that individual (or something along that line)</p>
<p>also one sentence completion was about a guy who took a secondary road in order to avoid the traffic that was on the main road.
The answer for that one was circumvent.</p>
<p>Yes, theqaz, that was correct.</p>
<p>I feel stupid because I was pretty sure assiduous was the answer for one of the sentence completion, and yet I left it blank. It was right.</p>
<p>Also I had a passage about illusion in art that messed me up a bit… the sphinx, to me, was easy in comparison. I am hoping this was experimental.</p>
<p>It couldn’t have been experimental; i had an experimental writing, yet i still had the CR passage you talk about.</p>
<p>what word followed disconcerted? And now I remember the twain question. It was something like what did twains and the french guys depiction have in common? I dont remember the answer. Also, correct was an answer in the sphinx section?</p>
<p>Yeah I said that “proper” meant correct.</p>
<p>Was an answer to the army question snide?</p>
<p>^Can’t remember the word that followed, but I am pretty sure it was the answer. The only other answer that could’ve possibly worked was answer choice B, which was unnerved (I think?) … ratify. Ratify wouldn’t have worked.</p>
<p>I guessed on that question because I wasn’t sure what disconcerted meant.</p>
<p>I believe that the commonality was that they both wrote in a different manner than usual. Twain was admiring instead of his usual deprecating self, and the french guy wrote in some manner that I forget.</p>
