<p>what was the other choice? i think i chose spread literature because it leans more towards that at the end of the passage, of how he wanted to introduce it to the african americans of the south.</p>
<p>It asked for the primary purpose... either:</p>
<p>-reveal a primary goal, or
-show his desire to be a prominent writer</p>
<p>is anyone else here? input, please... </p>
<p>I think the latter choice is slightly selfish...I believe his desire to bring blacks the world of literature was more important because most were poor and had little knowledge or familiarity with it, and Hughes would have wished to spread it to make them realize how valuable it was.</p>
<p>I don't think the passage involving Hughes was about his desire to be a prominent writer at all. I don't recall anything whatsoever to support that choice. I went with the former option.</p>
<p>For that marble problem my reasoning was that:</p>
<p>you can pick out all the colors and still not get a green. It is very possible. Thus you cant be sure that with 28 picks you will have 7 green. You are asked to be absolutely sure that there will be 7. Thus 28 cannot be right because this is not a probability question.</p>
<p>Someone want to refute this? Cuz this question seems pretty tricky.</p>
<p>lixuelai: That was the card problem, not the marble problem. Your reasoning looks right, though. Was that section experimental?</p>
<p>i dunno, but im not really sure the exact question for that. If it is worded differently the answer can be different. Say if it is taken out and put back. But i am pretty sure you just take it out. The probability of the 37 scenario is pretty darn low lol like what (1/40) x (1/39)....(1/4)</p>
<p>Your reasoning is right, lixuelai. The question deals with certainty, not probability.</p>
<p>for gridins, when it asks for a dollar amount and say the answer is $1.50, would the correct gridin answer be 1.5 or 1.50? and could you put in 3/2 for that answer too?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure all are acceptable, kirbywamu.</p>
<p>lix, i think the probability of having the last 3 marbles be green is about 1.5%, or 1/4 times 1/4 times 1/4.</p>
<p>Was the box one the answer choice with the non-filled in oval, and blank squares on the side with the shaded square on top?</p>
<p>r-akt</p>
<p>The answer to that question was definitely A, whatever the box looked like.</p>
<p>So the passages for the critical reading sections that counted were:</p>
<p>Short - Chemicals and agriculture (comparative passages), Harry and Sally's marriage, and Langston Hughes</p>
<p>Long - Lying/deception, feelings over a modernized old house, Feynman and physics, and what else?</p>
<p>trinidad and tobago</p>
<p>and the one about the caribbean culture</p>
<p>and the one about the islands south of the US</p>
<p>Socrates..................</p>
<p>I think it is important to understand why people keep saying A for the cube one. I chose D b/c I mistakenly misinterpreted the problem/situation. D would be if you had those symbols printed on BOTH sides of the pattern/figure and just pulled the pieces upward. However, that is not the case. The problem stated that the cube was to be put together w/ those symbols on the OUTSIDE of the cube. As a result, one would have to pull the pieces downward and flip the cube over to see how it would look w/ the gray on top. Because of this, D's orientation is incorrect and A's is correct.</p>
<p>I feel your pain.</p>
<p>Do you remember the question that said when can you prove when two lines are perpendicular to each other? The quetion stated to use the choices and the all the information that preceedes it. Once you can figure the lines are perpendicular based on the choice, that would be ur ans..I was confused but I went with C...</p>
<p>I forget which of the math sections it was in, but the question about the cube and what it would look like when it was completed. Three were pretty easy to eliminate but I was torn between A and D and finally put D. I'm pretty confident it was D, but its the only math problem i've been really concerned about. Anyone have any thoughts?</p>
