<p>@Sheep from m-w.com: atavism- recurrence of or reversion to a past style, manner, outlook, approach, or activity</p>
<p>Pretty sure its atavism, hoping its fanaticism though</p>
<p>omg im so mad…for the chinese one i put tat there was not enough info then changed it…same with impromptu…</p>
<p>The answer choice stated that the second passage gave an example of what the first stated.</p>
<p>And I did pretty bad on the vocabulary… I may have gotten 3 or 4 vocabulary wrong already. I narrowed most of them down to 2 answers yet got them all wrong :(</p>
<p>im pretty sure that they complimented each other. The first passage talked about making tech innovations to be practical and replace old, impractical methods and the second passage talked about how grinding grain by hand was impractical</p>
<p>Ahh, I mistook pluralism for singular :(</p>
<p>I think its fanaticism because there was nothing about the past, which is atavism.</p>
<p>Did anyone have the dolphin passage? There was a vocab in context question where it said, what does “solid” mean in this context (something like “solid body of scientific evidence”) Was it dense or substantial? </p>
<p>Also, can someone explain the hexagon problem? </p>
<p>I said impromtu for reporter and I thought the TV passage was complemented because passage 1 showed how innovation is promoted by a desire to make work easier, and passage 2 showed how that was true even in a rural circumstance (desire to make life easier lead to them innovating).</p>
<p>I put fanaticism because the birds were fanatical in that they were staying in the same region.</p>
<p>The passages were pretty ambiguous. . . The first one mentioned scientists innovate for the sake of desire, not necessity. But in the second passage, weren’t the medications necessary to the citizens?</p>
<p>someone post up a CR thread</p>
<p>anyone know which math was experimental??</p>
<p>Sheep, was the artist and poet one something like this: 410 went to buy books, 40 of them bought both. The rest bought only 1 If the artist sold 50 more books, how many did the poet sell?</p>
<p>410-40=370
40x=80
370+80=450</p>
<p>artist sold 250, and poet sold 200 since they add up to 450</p>
<p>What do you guys think -2 CR/-0M/-2W/9E = ???</p>
<p>The question about the main point of the Japanese (?) calligraphy, I was down to either celebrate the history of calligraphy or understand the mindset of someone, or something to that effect. I ended up putting down understand the mindset, can anyone confirm or deny?</p>
<p>Agreed. They were just making something much simpler easier. Instead of electronics being bettered, laborious tasks like smashing grain were made easier.</p>
<p>Another question: 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”</p>
<p>The question about the line going pass f(x) - did anyone else get y=2?</p>
<p>@JTownatp I’m 99% sure it was understanding the mindset.</p>
<p>My reasoning for “undermining” choice is that passage 1 discussed how technologies are replaced when something fails to do what it’s promised to do. However, passage 2 shows that technological inventions can be made without that problem to stimulate them.</p>
<p>@thecontender </p>
<p>was the question asking how many the poet sold or the artist sold?</p>
<p>i put to celebrate the mindset?</p>
