<p>so simply = merely is confirmed here</p>

<p>@simonl yeah im pretty sure one of the answers was minutiae</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>I got that too…</p>

<p>@warland do u remember any other choices of that question?
i definitely didn’t pick up sincerely, but i’m worried if i picked up sth else</p>

<p>I got minutiae too :)</p>

<p>poor simonl no one is answering him/her. i would help but i actually dont remember the options ):</p>

<p>did anyone put history in context for the CR passage with the chinese writings?</p>

<p>Okey my last several questions
does anyone have:</p>

<p>1 confused (instead of vexed or enraged)?
2 reveal a phenomenon (instead of breakthrough, for “computizing skin”)?
3 uniform not substantial (for solid)?
4 order vs. chaos (instead of tradition vs. modern)?</p>

<p>I may get them wrong but i’m not convinced yet</p>

<p>thanks to all u guys</p>

<p>1) no i dont think so. the right answer is vexed anyways :frowning:
2) i think you are getting the two confused. the answer to #1 of that short passage was to show the breakthrough in the field. the answer to #2 of that short passage was to reveal a direct phenomenon. (#1 asked “what was the purpose of the passage” and #2 asked “what was the purpose of the mention of flashlights lighted on the skin”)
3) im pretty sure its substantial… only like 1 person said it was uniform and i think he was looking at the wrong line reference. Mermex, I, and carbon (or Chrx idr) all think it is substantial.
4) it is tradition vs modern. it mentioned camels, huts, little villages vs. skyscrapers, automobiles juxtaposing each other.</p>

<p>Wait…so what WAS the purpose of the light on the hand?</p>

<p>@waterland
i guess i get that one wrong, too, i put sth like “inspiration”</p>

<p>The purpose of the light on the hand was to demonstrate a way in which someone could observe or notice a phenomenon - the phenomenon being that light can travel through human skin. </p>

<p>Sorry simonl, but I think you got those 4 wrong.</p>

<p>What did you guys put for a question asking about how mistake leads to discover something… sort question? This question was from that science theory passage in Test A
I put irrational because the author sounded like attempting to learn truth despite making mistake is seemingly irrational…</p>

<p>ccbbee22 - on this forum, people said it is either commonplace or childish … i dont think anyone so far mentioned irrational</p>

<p>I think simonl got the 2nd one right about the phenomenon</p>

<p>thank you so much anonymoux37. Does anyone remember what exactly the question about truism was? THanks!</p>

<p>the question about truism was that one… it gave a line saying something like “not only is making and accepting mistakes is the only way to better oneself – it is a truism”</p>

<p>Noooooooooooooo!</p>
