<p>i don't think it was archaic but precarious... for the one about the unstable government</p>

<p>wow i never knew there was a PSAT on a day that DOESNT EXIST</p>

<p>I am pretty sure archaic was wrong... since it meant old or outdated.</p>

<p>what was teh archaic question?</p>

<p>i got demeaning too but not archiac. anyone else get demeaning?</p>

<p>The one about the unstable government, 5 presidents in a short amount of time</p>

<p>then the answer is precarious isnt it?</p>

<p>that answer is defintelay not archiac. archiac means they are old, not constantly changing. anyone remember the correct answer to that 5 president?</p>

<p>and what does "vital" mean. ive heard a lot of people say "fundamental," but i put "mortal". anyone care to explain to me why its fundamental and not mortal?</p>

<p>SWEET I DID PUT PRECARIOUS. svvim the answer is fundemental, because the author implies that the MOST BASIC memories that others can recall are fuzzy to him.</p>

<p>what was the conciliatory question?</p>

<p>It talked about someone who is capable of healing divisions.</p>

<p>Something about a late mayor...he "healed" divisions that existed or something.</p>

<p>It wasn't arabic numeral 3, it was 4. ...wasn't it?</p>

<p>conciliatory was the california governor question.</p>

<p>for the writing section, is "had begun to decay" incorrect? thats what i put b/c i thought that it didnt agree with "was difficult to decipher"</p>

<p>You got it wrong for the reason. There is no such thing as had begun, only have begun. you got lucky.</p>

<p>YES!!!!! thank you</p>

<p>and for the weather problem, is it B?
the question compared the weather in new mexico and arizona with "some parts of california". "some parts" was B.</p>

<p>yep, Some parts is correct. You can't compare weather to a state. you have to compare the weather in a state to the weather in another state.</p>
