<p>I put took=gleaned. No idea why it would be withhold, since Hemingway learned something from the trip, not got something held back. </p>
<p>Hemingway was annoyed by the Fitzergald person. </p>
<p>And the two quotations in both passages both contrast the author's beliefs. Choice E, I believe.</p>
<p>Yeah, the quotations are contradictory to inital statements.</p>
<p>I put gleaned too, but I'm really not sure.</p>
<p>passage about calling ppl geniuses..</p>
<p>passage 1 contents too many ppl are being labeled geniuses.. and i forgot the rest</p>
<p>The second one was about his friend, a "genious" who went unnoticed.</p>
<p>There was an answer about author of Passage 2 would question choice of words. </p>
<p>And would he consider the description of the person's friend to be "overstated"?</p>
<p>I got the endearing one wrong, though. :(</p>
<p>Sunnyboy apparantly believes section 2 is experimental. This is quite a paradox, for never have I before seen section 2 as experimental, nor have I ever seen section 2 as writing. I did indeed have the exact version described by sunnyboy in the first post. Could you elaborate on your experimental reasoning?</p>
<p>There was something that was like "I am not more alone than ever alone" or something--was it paradox?</p>
<p>yes, but that is not my Q</p>
<p>First, PARADOX was an answer to one of the questions!
Second, GLEANED was also an answer!!
I absolutely had two 25 minute grammar sections. They appeared in section 2 and in Section 5. The one in Section 2 had a fix the passage on El Greco. The one in Section 5 had a fix the passage on a poetry reading called a slam. (This jogs my memory. The last question asked for the best way to end the passage. I put something like the author would become a member next year)
OK one of the two is experimental. Personally I liked the El Greco section beter than the Poetry Slam section. When I finished the test I thought the El Greco section counted because I didn't think our friends at the Evil Testing Service would put an experimental section in the second section. However, I have a friend who had the exact same math and verbal sections as I did. He said that he did NOT have the El Greco passage but did have the Poetry Slam. So I must conclude that the Poetry Slam counted and El Greco was experimental. Do I think it is fair to have an experimental section in section two? Absolutely not. So I (and really we) paid 41.50 to take a test and be guinea pigs!!!</p>
<p>they really like to screw with you. I really hope the section number 2 is experimental, it will make or break me. I heard that the similar writing section had it as #7 instead of 5</p>
<p>The alone thing was a paradox. </p>
<p>I don't think I got the El Greco one, but I got the poetry slam. </p>
<p>Genius one--passage 2 uses a term that passage 1 would challenge.</p>
<p>Same with me on the poetry slam. Do wou think section 2 was experimental?</p>
<p>A posting on another thread just jogged my memory. Our version (and it now appears that there were - believe it or not - 4 different versions) had a sentence completion in which COMPLICITY .. EXONERATE was the answer.</p>
<p>that indeed was a ########, that is the right answer</p>
<p>did i just get edited, apparantly h@rd one is interpreted the wrong way</p>
<p>sunnyboy, in your first post you mention the Q's with the anwers of ebullience...pessemism and the affluent one, jog my memory please</p>
<p>hey, what was the answer to this lady who was _______<em>about short stories...? had finangle...or something like that in it....-</em>-</p>
<p>Sorry but I can't remember the sentence completion with ebullience and pessimism. Probably their initial joy gave way to a new feeling of...</p>
<p>As for the impecunious .. affluent question. It was a classic definitional question. The group or person was not very poor but also not very rich. </p>
<p>That it the best i can do right now unless someone joggs my memory.</p>
<p>For purposes of easy reference and to help jog our memories here is a summary of what we have come up with thus far:
ESSAY TOPIC: Do memories help or hinder people in their efforts to learn from the past and succeed in the present?
SENTENCE COMPLETION
1. Enthralled
2. Reticent (Thurgood Marshall)
3. Impecunious .. affluent
4. Chagrin
5. Endemic (plants in New Zealand?)
6. Ebulience .. pessimism
7. Amalgam .. coin
8. Proponent
9. Extemporize (about butterflies)
10. Complicity .. Exonerate
11. Tepid
