<p>Most excellent. So I agree with you peeps here. I pray the curve is in our favor. The January curve was yucky. 1 wrong, 790… *** Collegeboard. >.<</p>
<p>I put strained as well.</p>
<p>redhuntinghat-- 
it worked lololol</p>
<p>redhuntinghat-- I said it meant she was disappointed with American culture but people on here seem to be begging to differ. Please refer to my post #116 for a complete description of the passage with italics as necessary. There you can find your information.</p>
<p>@redhuntinghat I said she was disappointed or whatever the equivalent word was, since she had an aggrandized perception, that they’d be super attractive, well dressed etc, but she finds that the picture was completely doctored to look that way and catch her eye.</p>
<p>was one of the answers regarding this passage resigned?</p>
<p>“resignation” yeah.</p>
<p>resigntation, strained as well, disappointed in american culture and optimisim instead of self assurance bc she was saying how she didnt have any authentic food anymore c she wasnt in india so therefore when she says at least theyre…blah blah shes being optimistic (or looking on the bright sides of things) nothing suggests that she was insecure and needed to be assured in the first place.</p>
<p>doctorv: yup i got that</p>
<p>and i said the children didnt meet her expectations or whatever</p>
<p>Hmm. Well I’ll be continuing this argument over American culture with you guys tomorrow. Going to prom right now. Would definitely love me some pulao with raisins and cashews though…</p>
<p>everyone - it’s strained because there’s clearly some tension between the grandmother and the daughter. </p>
<p>yes she was resigned to accept that her grandsons were disappointments</p>
<p>“so annoyed” right or wrong</p>
<p>@redhuntinghat: in retrospect you seem right. Ah dang it.</p>
<ol>
<li>I WILL :D</li>
<li>OMG same. It was placed very well and late into the test. Sigh lunch…</li>
</ol>
<p>i also got strained</p>
<p>and i remember amalgamate for one vocab.</p>
<p>i said right for so annoyed. it sounded so informal but i dont think there was anything wrong with it</p>
<p>that’s what I thought too cameron</p>
<p>it was wrong guys it made the sentence sound awkward and was in past tense</p>
<p>Did you guys get the math question that went like (a+b)/2=sqrt ab?</p>
<p>Okay so one sentence in the improving part was like “The term “blah”, sometimes mistakenly used for Pueblo something, is in fact Navajo in origin.” I put the part that said in fact could be improved because it seemed awkward to say it was mistakenly used incorrectly as Pueblo and then say in fact it was Navajo. I thought a better phrase that would work better would be “is actually Navajo in origin”. Was I just way off? What do y’all think?</p>
<p>sidekick: I got that one and my experimental was in cr</p>
