<p>the tile problem had sets of tiles, 9 in square.</p>
<p>the total surface area was 144</p>
<p>so 16 SETS of ties were needed.</p>
<p>BUT there were 5 tiles in each set.</p>
<p>so 80 tiles?</p>
<p>Again, this is the method, im not so sure bout the numbers....</p>
<p>What did you guys say for the last question in the dinosaur short passage? I narrowed it down to completely unfounded and unverifiable because of no fossil evidence.</p>
<p>i put completely unfounded</p>
<p>i put completely unfounded.</p>
<p>Yeah I got 40 for the tile one too!</p>
<p>For the short passage regarding myths and the american frontier, there was a question about the comparison of those myths with grass or something like that. The question asked what the similarity was. what did you get for that? I put the answer choice with "unsubstantiated" as one of the words. I saw another post which said that the answer was tenacity, but i don't see how that works (not that my answer was very good either).</p>
<p>i changed my last answer to tenacity because the metaphor of comparing grass sticking to soil (or something along the lines) makes it tenacious? I'm not sure.</p>
<p>wait, does anyone remember the exact wording for the tile problem (i think it was the last one on Math section 2)</p>
<p>The total tiles were 40. But there are 5 smaller tiles in the big ones so 40 x 5 = 200 tiles</p>
<p>I think for that sentence completion, it was peremptory/abrasive. I looked up both preemptory and peremptory, and the latter makes more sense in the context of the sentence. Well, at least I think so. Anyway, I put that choice for my answer.</p>
<p>For the question about which memory would be likely to be tossed in the "discard pile", I THINK I put something like, "author's memories of the family dog". Because if the author wasn't really involved in that, or if the author didn't really play a hero role in those memories, then they're likely to be forgotten.</p>
<p>For that sentence correction sentence about music, I also got D, "any century".</p>
<p>Let's see...for the critical reading passage about the numerals, I said the main idea was to "account for a universal phenomenon". If you look at the first words of the other choices, they don't really make sense. Plus, the author talked about how this phenomenon showed up in a lot of cultures ("convergence").</p>
<p>For math question about tiles, I put 200. Because the pattern they showed was made up of 5 tiles, and the question asked how many tiles were needed, not how many patterns could fit.</p>
<p>I got 175 for the honor roll, 40 for the tiles, and delusional (not pretext)</p>
<p>**** I MESSED UP THE TILES ONE</p>
<p>Got 40 for the tiles question also. =_= darn it</p>
<p>Yeah I put D for "any century" you can't compare music to century. It has to be any other century.</p>
<p>I put 200 for the tiles.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the 2nd to last question on the grid in problem? The one dealing with the area of the triangle along the coordinates? I put 18.</p>
<p>I don't remember 40 being an answer choice for the tiles problem.</p>
<p>For the honor role wasn't it 35+35+25+30... 125?</p>
<p>I believe the answer to that question is 9. The diagonal from B to D was 6 so the sides are 3 times root 2. So 3root 2 squared is 18. But you have to divide by 2 because A= b x h x .5</p>
<p>that is so sneaky......40 x 5........i thought the all thing was one tile</p>
<p>yeah i got what parabuzzle got</p>
<p>What did you guys put for meaning of the word "vital"? and also the question where it asks for the two passages main argument about memory?</p>
<p>i swear i'm gonna work through barrons math book three times !!!!!!
i'll be ready in may</p>
