<p>carbon - did you have four writing? i dont remember that at all, so it could’ve been experimental</p>
<p>oh! carbon was that the one about “1967 saw the publishment of two novels…” or whatever?</p>
<p>i also remember that one of the writing finding the error ones had to do with a past tense… gah idr… it was like “dfkjdskjh was kjfhkdjsh” and i thought it had to be “kdjfhskdjh had dkjfhds”</p>
<p>also! do you remember one of the WR questions saying “because the ancient people created stonewalls and left no written record, modern researchers have no way of knowing it” or something like that… i put “knowing it” b/c “it” seemed ambiguous…</p>
<p>No, it was the question right before the one about the guy’s writings being published sixty years after it had lain in neglect or something like that. </p>
<p>It was plans to raise public awareness about global warming or something like that.</p>
<p>@anonymous, that might be possible but I’m not so sure its 1967…</p>
<p>did anyone get “breakthrough”?</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t remember that one particularly but it seems like I definitely had it if it came before the other (also I just recalled that for the 24 one I actually put the last blank as I thought it was past tense, although I can see how no error could be actually correct).
For the ancients making structures I put the final blank (for doing it, I think?) because it was referring to an action so it should be replaced with “so.” Not sure if that’s correct, however.</p>
<p>I thought the last one was aloofness because magnanimous means very generous and the swagger guy was definitely not described as generous</p>
<p>The answer to the guy with swagger was panache, his head was not in the clouds so he couldn’t be described as “aloof.”</p>
<p>lilke Murmex, i remember those questions but i dont remember anything about global warming… i know that it was not no error though b/c i didnt have three no errors in a row… but i did have two no errors…</p>
<p>and yea, the last blank was “doing it” … i thought “it” was ambiguous since it could be building the ancient stones or writing down record…</p>
<p>With the ‘ancients,’ were they Zimbabwean and had mortar in the sentence? Because I can’t remember if that was in the practice test I took or the actual test?</p>
<p>I don’t think they were, carbon. And I had 3 of the same letters at the end of a section for writing, did anyone else have choices in a row?</p>
<p>Okay thanks Murmex</p>
<p>Let’s consolidate the CR answers:</p>
<p>Sentence Completions:
- staple
- ingrate
- immersed
- implicit
- doctoring…altruism
- panache ( about the guys swagger) not aloofness
- decry or defray (what were the other answer choices here?)
- sneered…hodgepodge
- inert
- sonorous
- soporific
- exotic- was this correct???
- effusive…reticent
- meticulous .something (about her brother)</p>
<p>Are those correct for this version of the test?</p>
<p>Then here are some CR answers:</p>
<p>Physics Passage:</p>
<p>1) subtle or commonplace?</p>
<p>Dolphin Passage:</p>
<p>1) Overstated? I think the question was like how would the author of passage one feel to the statement of dehumanizing by the author of passage 2
2) What did author 2 and the people in passage 1 of the dolphin passage agree with? It was either a) people strive for self improvement or b) people take an active role in shaping their destinies or c) something like “people respond badly to the incentive thing”
3) “uniform” for the “solid” because it makes sense if it says “one field with various names”</p>
<p>Behavior Passage:</p>
<p>1) merely or sincerely?
2) vexed or enraged?
3)“used irony to highlight the profoundness of a situation”
4) Surprised?</p>
<p>Japanese Calligraphy:</p>
<p>1) impromptu
2) mindset of character
3) he had new responsibilities and no time</p>
<p>Grand Canyon passage:</p>
<p>1) the million who saw it had a one in 1 million chance to see what the explorer saw, OR the benefit and seeing it is fixed ?
2) for the question comparing a situation to the Bostonian man’s reaction to the grand canyon? did anyone say a CD that sounds different than a concert?
3) it was that tourists won’t see the same value of the canyon as the Spanish explorer cause most tourists have an idea of what the grand canyon is. So they don’t see the same value in the canyon as the explorer.
4) where it asked you what the 1 million people seeing the equivalent to what the explorer who found the GC saw? I put for the answer “People had a one in 1 million percent chance of seeing what the explorer saw”… IS THIS CORRECT?</p>
<p>Not sure which passage this was:</p>
<p>1) There was this one short passage about some guy who was complaining and one of the questions was what the tone of the other person was. I think appreciative was the answer; anyone remember if that’s right? Yes it is! I put appreciative!
2) What did you put for #1 on same passage? (the contrasting question) I put traditional & modern</p>
<p>random answers that I dont know which passage they go with:</p>
<p>1)present an analogy but then retract it for another view
2) wrong but inherently plausible
3) flippancy
5) disappointed
6) surprised
7) ironic to underscore… (wrong but I don’t remember what I put for that one)
10) drone (this is wrong, don’t remember what is correct)</p>
<p>for the one with the people building houses with/without the use of mortar, i put “the use of” as the error. I know this is sloppy writing because the use of is almost always a superfluous phrase but i dont know if it’s formally considered a mistake.</p>
<p>For example, the sentence could have been simply “they built houses with/without mortar”.</p>
<p>uh what is the meticulous brother one for sentence completion???</p>
<p>@Calculus123, I hope you’re wrong but you could also be right because the sentence could have read “they built houses without usING mortar.”</p>
<p>i think the “doing it” is more of a problem than the “use of” mortar…</p>
<p>I don’t remember that being on the question, anonymous…</p>
<p>positive that “impromptu” is wrong
1)present an analogy but then retract it for another view" is wrong
“surprised” can be wrong
the " 1/ million chance" is not right</p>
<p>Meticulous was another choice for the effusive-reticent one, it wasn’t its own question, if memory serves.
Also I said merely, vexed, irony (for Woof), impertinent (not impromptu), some choice about proportion for the Grand Canyon (1-in-a-million chance doesn’t make sense because the passage was talking about how modern society made it impossible to see the Grand Canyon as it originally was perceived due to our previous conceptions of it), and for the truism one I had “childish,” but I can’t remember the exact question to explain my reasoning for it.</p>
<p>what’s the difference beetween “vexed” and “enraged”</p>
