<p>I put labeled as well</p>

<p>It was “devised” because he came up with a brand new title for himself. “Labeled” often refers to using an already existing title and putting it onto yourself; for example, it could’ve said he “labeled” himself the “King of Rock N Roll”.</p>

<p>I “labeled” those kids as “jocks”. (Existing title)</p>

<p>what did the original sentence say for that question^?</p>

<p>Something about the dude “devising” or “labeling” a title for himself called the “blah blah blah”.</p>

<p>Agh, Sid - that makes sense. I’m still praying labeled was right as people can set labels for themselves (their title), but can’t devise titles. IDKKK</p>

<p>i either put labeled or devised</p>

<p>The one I had trouble with was a transition one with the songbird. It was like the last one in that passage</p>

<p>the choices were like
A No Change (however)
B in contrast
C. Here and now
D. Therefore</p>

<p>Do you guys remember what you put?</p>

<p>That was kinda confusing! I put A - no change (however).</p>

<p>The preceding line is talking about shortcuts. So I put however, the bird prefers water. IDK that was the gist of my logic.</p>

<p>^ I don’t remember that question (that means I put A because I don’t remember any of the answer choices). I do remember putting “nevertheless” for one of those kind of questions though.</p>

<p>i put therefore…</p>

<p>I put therefore an I made sense</p>

<p>Ughhhh I put However and Labeled. Aghh CC gets me so worried. I was pretty worried last time and got 35 Eng 36 math but this time i think i already got 1-2 wrong Eng and 1 wrong math so far :/</p>

<p>i ended up putting no change for the song bird question where the options were however, on the other hand, etc. If you rearrange the sentence, it makes sense</p>

<p>it was definetely however.</p>

<p>it was therefore. there was no contrast so it couldn’t have been however</p>

<p>can someone post the actual sentence if you remember it? From what i’m reading it seems as if people are getting two different opinions.</p>

<p>i remember it as “the songbirds choose not to shortcut through land because they prefer water, therefore they go with water”</p>

<p><em>paraphrased</em> idk if i remember it correctly tho</p>

<p>there were two question in the bird section i was unsure about.</p>

<p>the first one was the first question for the passage about what would it lose the most if the two words were deleted. i cant remember the choices…</p>

<p>another i didnt know for sure was like a choice between their, it’s, or its. i put its but i wasnt sure…</p>

<p>the answer “therefore” made the most sense because the preceding sentence talked about the bird always being in water “THEREFORE” its path follows that of the crooked rivers</p>

<p>“However” and “in contrast” mean the same thing. So identicals cancel and they are both wrong.</p>
