@NotAMathlete Yes I got inured and frequency
@NotAMathlete I chose frequency and inured

oh wait…untenable is from the languages question I think…
Did anyone choose ingrained…untenable?
It was frequency and inured.
It was also retained, “assert” out of context has nothing to do with maintain anyway. It was talking about something that involved past to future, you don’t assert something for a time period, you retain it.
i put retained also, I was debating between asserted and retain.
@Notamathlete yes u are 100% correct, ingrained mean already implicated, and untenable is not able to be defended
I put asserted…
I said ingrained.
I chose “did theirs” because “character” was singular and “theirs” couldn’t logically refer to “actors.” But maybe it can be assumed that multiple actors = multiple characters. idk
I thought that overall writing was way harder than usual. Reading was average to hard, and math was average.
@baikster spot on, that’s why I put retain.
What is the consensus on assert and retain. I said assert.
What was the literary device used in one of the shorter passages? Choices were Analogy, personification, speculation, euphemism, and maybe paradox
@ibnick I think your explanation is wrong, I put did theirs because of comparative issues.
I chose asserted, but I don’t even think I saw retained, which is probably why I managed not to second guess myself on that question…ignorance is bliss I guess lol
I put analogy. He compares it to a mosaic.
Personification
@gkma98 Assert means to state a fact in forceful manner, retain means to withhold, and one of its prime synonyms is maintain. Although you might argue that it matters about the context of the passage, assert has almost no correlation with maintain. My thoughts are not the correct answer, I’m just stating my opinions.
@demosthenes12 I put personification but might be wrong. It described the tall tale was getting taller.
Both retain and assert mean maintain
@Baikster can u refresh what the passage was about
