<p>@saidu. he does want to express imagination & he does want to do it for the better service. However, the only part that was wrong in the “expressing imagination” was “escaping reality” cuz the choice D was something like “He wants to escape reality by expressing imagination” that… at least, thats what bothered me.</p>
<p>Can anybody give me a legit estimate of how many B’s they got in the last passage?</p>
<p>@ohnoooooo how many B’s do you remember getting on the last passage?</p>
<p>Haha not really I didnt have time to read it. I think it was about wind chill because that’s what I see everybody is talking about.</p>
<p>Okay, guys, the pasteboard mask question. I put down something that refers to him trying to break past it to tell the truth (that’s really poorly worded…)</p>
<p>"The thing I am most fearful of in my culture is self-delusion: the self-delusion that deifies progress, the self-delusion that supports the superiority of one culture over another, and the self-delusions of righteousness.</p>
<p>So, breaking through that pasteboard mask is what I’m after. That’s why I pull the truck over and get out and get the animal off the road. The pasteboard mask obscures a deeper meaning. It leads you to believe it doesn’t make any difference. I just want to keep pushing through, to make sure I don’t get trapped. "</p>
<p>And what were the options for “how she remembers her friend Hinano”? I can’t even remember answering that question…</p>
<p>Damn! Was the answer really that he wants to do it for the better good?</p>
<p>Wouldn’t be surprised, I only skimmed it to get the gist of it as I was running out of time. I haven’t even gotten the test results back yet and I already got 2 wrong on reading :(. Didn’t know he didn’t like how everyone neglected global warming. Ugh.</p>
<p>Can anyone elaborate on any of these? (Other answer choices, complete versions of the question, or verbatim answers are appreciated):</p>
<ol>
<li>Which would least explain the memory of the track (horse passage)(reminscing </li>
</ol>
<p>and mentioning sensory details about the musty smell/taste/etc.)
She is presently at the track (can’t be cause she’s on the bus)
She is not currently at</p>
<ol>
<li><p>How does she remember Hinano?
Through favorable personal experience</p></li>
<li><p>What can we infer from the passage about the ancient egyptians seeds?
Peddlers sold them</p></li>
<li><p>How was the interviewer’s 3rd question was different from the first two
The interviewer looked at the author’s works beforehand</p></li>
<li><p>Moby Dick
goals he sets for his life</p></li>
<li><p>Effect of loneliness
Challenging lifestyles</p></li>
</ol>
<p>What were the other options for #10. How does she remember Hinano?</p>
<p>I honestly don’t even remember this question.</p>
<p>@Enifrica:
- its definitely she is presently at the track, because the entire story is one big flashback, and the only thing happening in the present is the girl siting on the bus, so she cannot be at the track.
- I dont remember that q sorry
- It said something like “when archaeologists discovered the egyptian tombs peddlers tried to sell ancient seeds, but no one knows if they grew” so peddlers is the only good answer the choices were like a) they didnt germinate but became wheat b) they germinated c) peddlers
- The third question asked about a previous statement made by lopez. the other two were general questions.
- the question was “WHy does lopez use moby dick” and the answers were something like a) ex of how literature has metaphors b) how something could become a classic c) to show goals
- Effect of loneliness: dont remember</p>
<p>@turquoise71318</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I may have missed a “least” on question one… Not sure. Do you know the full question, or all of the answer choices?</p></li>
<li><p>Yeah, the passage said they weren’t sure if the claims were true about germination, so that eliminates two answers. Do you remember what D was, or the full answer choice for the peddlers one?</p></li>
<li><p>I remember the question addressing a claim the author himself made towards his own work… Something about hope. Is that another question?</p></li>
<li><p>This was C?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>@Enifrica:
- Q: What would be the least likely reason of the description of the track?
A) shes currently at the track
B)She is pulling from general memories, not from a specific experience
C) The track is a place she visited often and has fond memories of.
and i forget D. and thats not the order idk - idk what d was and or the answer
- i think its the same question.
- im pretty sure it was C.</p>
<p>@turguoise71218 Thank you, that leaves me wondering about two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>How was the interviewer’s 3rd question was different from the first two
“The interviewer looked at the author’s works beforehand”</li>
</ol>
<p>I don’t even remember this as an answer choice? The one I chose talked about how the author viewed his work or something along those lines… Does anyone remember the answer choices?</p>
<ol>
<li>Effect of loneliness
Challenging lifestyles</li>
</ol>
<p>& does anyone know the full question or answer choices for 10?</p>
<p>I’m looking at probably 1 guaranteed careless error, and possibly up to 2 more.</p>
<p>@Enifrica
I think youre confusing 7 with a different question. the one about how the author viewed his work is different from the one about the types of questions. the one about how the author viewed his work, the answer is “a blueprint for the imagination”</p>
<p>and 10. He said loneliness was something he didnt feel much because he liked his lifestyle of being a recluse writer and that was a challenging lifestyle cuz he never saw his family and stuff.</p>
<p>I think I thought that initially but I’m pretty sure the answer was seeing clothes hung up to dry or something. The mountains was all in her thoughts in the past tense. The whole passage reverted to the future tense when it mentioned her clothes drying, or it may have been her driving…</p>
<p>Why did the writer want to write?</p>
<p>I thought he wanted to be imaginative? (was that an option?)</p>
<p>@turquoise71218 No no no, the question itself (from the interviewer) referred to a claim the writer had made about his own work… Something that pertained to hope.</p>
<p>Then the answer to the question about the question (lol) was asking how it was different, and the answer that has been decided on here doesn’t ring a bell for me.</p>
<p>For the one where it was like pang bang at the cellular level I put nervous rush. The cellular level part made me think of the nervous system.</p>

This should clear some confusion. Please add any more that you find.</p>

<p>Any help in finding the other passages would be appreciated!</p>
<p>The Conversation with Barry Lopez is simply too long to get any practical use out of… Unless you can recall word for word & ctrl+f</p>
<p>@Enifrica, just ctrl + f “Moby dick”. Easy enough.</p>
<p>This is directly from that passage :</p>
<p>“Hopeful, yes. The reason is the staggering power of the human imagination to circumvent every kind of roadblock. I have to believe that imagining a story will somehow help people to imagine a way around difficulty”</p>
<p>This suggests that the answer wasn’t “he wanted to do it for the better good”. He wanted to do it so people could use their imagination to leave difficult issues behind.</p>
