for the passage "Lost in translation " who picked the choice that read " Greeks can not translate many sayings into English" and the choice that asked u to pick which statement referred closest to what the passage said?

[/quote]
</p>

<p>thats what I chose too..</p>

<p>honestly though, last year's math was signifcantly easier ... all of the problems were cut and dry (for many at least) .... their were like 4 hard problems totalled ...... thy is year however, their were a lot of tricky problems that if you did not know formulas or easy methods for solving, you were dead... this yr, the math curve will be 80,78,76,74,72,70 in my opinion based on talk in my school and here that "Math was hard"......... hopefully that will be the case, although maybe I was a little too generous .. writing is the one that will be brutal</p>

<p>Okay i have questions on these</p>

<p>1) question about car reparing: was it "if it is fixed" or "those which are fixed" or something to that extent.</p>

<p>2) volcanoes shooting dust & heat or something - what was the error?</p>

<p>3) where did you insert the sentence about a guy not "being a morning person"? I put after sentence 9 i belieeeeve</p>

<p>4) what did "language" refer to on the stupid thing about the river?</p>

<p>5) What did latina being underlined refer to (something like that).</p>

<ol>
<li>Since it is singular .... the answer was A .. It is fixed</li>
<li>Dont remeber, sorry (but it did have an error I believe)</li>
<li>Sentecne 9 is crrect (the only one that made sense)</li>
<li>Haha - This one was so annoying ... it was the one that said experiances on a boat on the river or something like that - you had to cross out anything that said "words" .. they were trying to trick you here b/c language is usually associated with words.</li>
<li>The latina being underline answer was the one that was like cite a reference that will be explained throughout the passage (not exactly that wording, but that general message)</li>
</ol>

<p>1 EDIT: i was thinking about something else
2 no error
3 after 9
4 I believe the answer was A..something about knowing what certain things mean, i forget the wording
5 a distinction that will be further explained in the passage</p>

<p>4) what did "language" refer to on the stupid thing about the river?</p>

<p>answering my own question, on that one i put like "rhythm of humans traveling down the waterway" or something stupid like that.. gaaah</p>

<p>I concur with everything in the past two posts except for number two. I'm not sure at all, but I think the volcanoes may have been no error.</p>

<p>April, I didn't put that, I put something different...I can't remember it</p>

<p>yes - thts what I put April! That was the correct answer -It was like choice D i believe</p>

<p>It wasn't rythm of people traveling. It was like the clues or signs that certain thingsin the river tell you. If anyone remembers all of the choices for the question about "break" on the blushing girl with the doctor in that passage, that'd be really cool.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question on the second verbal section.....i forget what passage, but it had to do with the author who felt that his time on the river piloting steamboats. The question was about the last part of the passage about the doctors, and what that did to the author's arguement...the choices were something like it identifued (im not sure the correct word) with the author's unique situation, it provided an example of a different viewpoint, it showed a different mindset, it justifyed a statement made earlier in the passage......i forget the other one, and im sure ive butchered the actual choices, but i was between three of them and i eventually chose the one about the author's unique situation.....can someone give me some insight?</p>

<p>exrunner is right
that's what I put</p>

<p>Does anyone know why it takes so long to get our scores back? The SAT has an essay, and two more sections and they get it back in 2.5 weeks. Why does it take 2 months to get the PSAT scores back?!</p>

<p>nutcase, on that one i put that he thought doctors were being too analytical. or something</p>

<p>or was that a different question? lol</p>

<p>that one was a little tricky ... i narrowed it down to
A- Identify with the authors situation
B- Justified a statement earlier in the passage</p>

<p>After careful review, I realized that the answer was - he indentified with the author's situation! I think that is the answer imho.</p>

<p>Is it bad that I don't remember this question? Does anyone have any more details or words from the question?</p>

<p>sorry aprilstar.....i think that is the wrong q!!
a friend of mine sed he was between the answer about it offering a different viewpoint, and providing an example of a mindset....hes a pretty smart kid thats why i sorta doubted my choice</p>

<br>

<p>I think it is sheer volume. Every junior in this country (and many outside this country) and a large number of sophomores all take the PSAT on one of the 2 dates it is offered in October. The SAT is offered many more times a year so you don't get the same number of people sitting that exam at any one date.</p>

<p>it was "he provided an example of..." it's not "identified the authors UNIQUE situation"</p>

<p>nutcase, which choice did you pick?</p>
