<p>Post all reading section questions here.</p>

2

<p>probably the stupidest thing i could do: this section was easy. i could’ve aced it but today i ended up daydreaming for half the section, dont know why. guess i was sleepy…</p>

3

<p>Why did the Hawaiian guy collect the seeds? To give them to the organization to plant, or to study them?</p>

4

<p>Isn’t it to plant it in that NSF or whatever thing?</p>

5

<p>Yes, that’s what I put too.</p>

6

<p>yeah it was so he could restore the species population or something like that</p>

7

<p>gah i guessed on the whole last passage ffffff. can anyone think of a question?</p>

8

<p>What about the seagull question, where they asked if the dances were passed down by older generations or something the narrator created.</p>

9

<p>So easyyyyy. luved seagull passage. I’m thinking 36!
yeah it was passed down by generations!</p>

10

<p>the dances were passed down by generation (mentioned explicitly in the passage)</p>

11

<p>Is the curve gonna be good since a lot of seniors took it today?</p>

12

<p>is it to settle a problem or increase a problem? (i put settles…but now i think increases was the right answer…dont know why i put the wrong answer…)</p>

13

<p>its definitely increase, sorry =(</p>

<p>the passage was about how something made the problem worse</p>

14

<p>I agree. It was definitely increase. I got that one about the dances between passed down through generations wrong! I’m always really rushed for time and I was going to go back and check that one to find out for sure but I figured it would be better for me to hurry along and keep going to make sure I would finished. Darnit!</p>

15

<p>yeah it was increased
i changed my answer to it</p>

16

<p>Which question are you referring to when you say increased or settle?</p>

17

<p>^ I’m wondering the same. And I think for the most part this one was pretty straightforward. Except I spent about 13-14 minutes on the second passage, which rushed me a bit for the rest of the test.</p>

18

<p>what were your guys’ passages about?</p>

<p>mine were about

  1. this guy going to direct a play
  2. about this neural disorder
  3. about immigration
  4. about spruce trees…</p>

<p>…i feel like i had a different test than everyone else?</p>

19

<p>That was not the test that I got. Everyone I talked to seemed to have the same test as me. That’s very strange.</p>

20

<p>are you in the states?</p>
