<p>enraged is probably too strong and the first one was definitely not lacking in passion. I thought business like was it, as both could be argued as indignant</p>

<p>@‌ golfer
agreed: The title of the article was just a common idiom, but the passage standing alone made it seem like the inventions weren’t absolutely necessary like you HAVE to invent something to get yourself out of serious trouble. The inventions seemed spurred by a genuine willingness to make things right/better. </p>

<p>Also, if you invent something out of necessity, it normally helps you and in this case the invention didn’t help the inventor in any way. Then again, necessity can be interpreted differently which is why this is a screwed up question</p>

682

<p>Does anyone know other words from the passage with the word “simply”</p>

683

<p>Usually reading allows you to miss a question and get an 80 or 79 (which is necessary for me cause of the stupid invention passage). But overall it wasn’t too bad on reading; it’s just the hard ones were REALLY screwy.</p>

684

<p>…which is why I said enraged. Reading the passage again, enraged seems even better.</p>

685

<p>yeah… time to write a 5-page complaint to the college board… anyone could lend me a hand?</p>

686

<p>what was the answer to the math one where they gave you like 2 sides of a triangle and you had to find the total length of the segment on the right? it was near the end of the 1st math section</p>

687

<p>enraged doesn’t mean annoyed. Enraged means MAD. Vexed means annoyed and fits perfectly with that. </p>

<p>People often think vexed just means confused but it means annoyed a well</p>

688

<p>hey hey hey super extreme answers are never correct. you could prove that he was annoyed,but not that he was super angry</p>

689

<p>I really do not know how do many people think that vexed means confused. I almost thought that also.</p>

<p>FOOLS WHO ANSWERED ENRAGED, VEXED MEANT ANNOYED, DO YOU GET IT?</p>

690

<p>could anyone recall from which passage is the simply question from?</p>

691

<p>it was the second behavior passage i think</p>

692

<p>did you remember a phrase from that/</p>

<p>IF YOU WANT AN EXAMPLE OF “ENRAGED”, THAT’S MY “STATE” NOW. </p>

693

<p>Was the last answer to the first reading section A? The one with pragmatic?</p>

694

<p>yeah enraged describes us right now. Cause we’re straight up pissed at the college board</p>

<p>Save the letter, in your least important AP test of senior year(like AP gov if you’re a math/science guy) write your letter in the FRQ section. That’s what I plan to do</p>

695

<p>@kevon
I put the first passage says behavioral modification is misunderstood and the second passage provides evidence to the contrary.</p>

<p>i thought about the pragmatic one, but the second passage wasn’t that philosophical, and the first waited until like the last sentence to describe any actual uses. Who knows, but I can’t see how my answer can be wrong because the first passage spends an entire paragraph talking about just that and the second passage argues the opposite</p>

696

<p>I’m taking the SAT soon. I’ll try to use this as one of the examples to tick off the grader. </p>

<p>btw, I’m killing the people from up your score because they said eeee is not possible</p>

697

<p>does someone actually remember a whole phrase off the 2nd heavier passage?</p>

698

<p>I think the question about the invention passage was very misleading. Think about it; you can never REALLY tell if an invention is made because of necessity or just because. Obviously, inventions are made to improve something. But does that improvement have to be made???</p>

699

<p>eeee was correct i believe. </p>

<p>@yeezytaughtme I put 27.5 </p>
