Official Verbal Thread - Version with Astronauts

<p>-Sentence added to end: Next year I might even try out! or something
-Question about adding a clause to a sentence, like "I sometimes got bored by poetry but I could tell that this was going to be exciting."</p>

<p>The monarch butterflies where like... </p>

<p>The monarch butterflies colorful wings are used for more than just _____ purposes. </p>

<p>or something like that?</p>

<p>=====================================
I agree with Chagrin, since the idea they were looking for was "sad" and "upsetting" or something like that.</p>

<p>I agree with the Amalgam.. Coin, since it was about the author who combined two names to create an <strong>amalgam</strong>__ and was the first to <strong>coin</strong>_ the term. or something to that effect.</p>

<h1>I, too, don't remember an El Greco.</h1>

<p>I agree with the post above me about the "which sentence would be the best concluding statement" [for the poetry-slam one], I also put the answer choice that said something to the effect of "Maybe i'll be ready to even do a poem myself next year!"</p>

<p>foreign language - one word in one language may have many different means in another</p>

<p>Zachsta:
I agree with both of your answers</p>

<p>-Sentence added to end: Next year I might even try out! or something
(by next summer I might even have the courage to try out)</p>

<p>-Question about adding a clause to a sentence, like "I sometimes got bored by poetry but I could tell that this was going to be exciting."
(....I could tell that it was going to be anything but boring)</p>

<p>LoJT</p>

<p>It was the somethingologist knew so much about monarch butterflies that he didn't need to use notes--rather, he taught _______ly. (extemporaneous)</p>

<p>Ohh right - yeah that's it. It's 12:34am, maybe I should get some sleep.</p>

<p>can anyone expand on the following answer given in a previous post:
Author of Passage 2 would question the choice of words</p>

<p>Oh, if that's referring to the genious one then its like the author of the first passage would challenge the use of the word "genious" with such levity as used by the author of passage 2.</p>

<p>one answer was
delete 3 words in the middle and break the sentence up into two separate sentences</p>

<p>thanks zachsta i think i got that one though i dont think it was worded like that</p>
