<p>For the Zora one, I just didn't get it, I put the great bag putter or something like that.</p>

<p>For Pygmalion, I can't remember a thing. Anyone know all the choices?</p>

<p>..which reminds me, which "if" clause or whatever had a different structure? I think it was the really long sentence.</p>

<p>yea but there were two really long sentences</p>

<p>I think I put the one that was like, "If it snows he puts on his snowshoes"</p>

<p>zachsta's right, the one "if...snowshoes" didn't belong with the other choices</p>

<p>Yeah, the others were like a metaphor or something, and that IF ^ was more of a practical thing.</p>

<p>Does anyone know who wrote or what the title is of the passage about the trumpet? It was pretty awesome.</p>

<p>what do you think you guys scored?</p>

<p>700-750 hopefully</p>

<p>650 conservatively, 770 if I"m being optimistic. It kinda all depends on the Pyg passage, and to a lesser extent the first passage.</p>

<p>i'd say around a 650, and if i got all the ones i answered correctly then a 720 max.</p>

<p>Which literary term was used? alliteration, right? I was concerned because it was only repeating the first letter twice, and there's debate as to whether alliteration has to be 2 or 3 repetitions</p>

<p>I said alliteration, torn between that an onomatopoeia (Pang is onomatopoeic, right?) but alliteration seemed better</p>

<p>It was alliteration. Pang isn't onomatopoeic.</p>

<p>What's the curve usually like for literature?</p>

<p>yeah i put alliteration. what is the curve for literature?</p>

<p>i think i omitted 1. iono how well i did on others though.</p>

<p>60-55 raw is 800, then it just goes down by 10 from there.</p>

<p>Here's hoping for an 800. I hear it's rare, though, but I often aced my AP English practice exams...</p>

<p>Actually, let me clarify on the "pang" question.</p>

<p>Pang, when used as in pang of pain, is in fact onomatopoeic.</p>

<p>However, the question asked for the whole sentence, not merely "pang."</p>

<p>Therefore, if the question had asked "what technique..used in word pang?"</p>

<p>Then it would have been onomatopoeia. However, since it asked about the</p>

<p>whole phrase, it was alliteration.</p>

<p>Does "pang" ever simulate a sound? I've never heard of it being used that way. I suppose it could be a cousin of "ping".</p>

<p>a "pang" of anything is not onomatopoeic</p>

<p>if you disagree, please describe how one would simulate a "pang" sound. </p>

<p>"pang" is a sharp feeling, I don't think I've ever seen it associated with a sound.</p>
